A Production of High Grade.

was distinctly pleasing. Equally pleas

of the comedian was amusing because
of his naturalness.

MINING IN ALASKA IN 1919.
Advance Statement by the United
States Geological Survey.

| The winning OF some $4,000 worth
| OF gold from placer mines near Juneau
/ in 1850 marked the beginning of the
great mining industry of Alaska. which
has now yielded total of S437 100000.
! Alaskas mineral output in 1919, ac-
eording to statistics compiled under the
direction of Alfred II. Brooks of the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior. amounted TO
about $ls,s50,g00 and was smaller than
that of any other year since 1910 and
less than half that Of 1916 ts4s.6o0,
000). In 1918 the output amounted to
SIS, Pa. 600 The abnormal production
in 1916. chiefly that of three large
mines, was due to the high price Of
copper during the war, which greatly
stimulated copper mining. With the
fall in price Of copper the Alaska cop
per industry reverted to more normal
conditions. Meanwhile the world wide
depression in gold mining consequent
upon high operating costs brought on
by the war has seriously crippled that
industry in Alaska, and the value of
the annual output Of gold declined from
SIT ,240,0 900 in 1916 10 S9,000,000 In 1919.
The industry is particularly sensitive
to present conditions because many Of
the enterprises were not on very
sound economic basis. For many years
gold production has been kept up by
the exploitation of BONANZA plaeers,
rather than by the systematic deyel-
opment OF large deposits of lower grade.
The mining Of placer gold has been ear.
ried on as gamble rather than as a
business venture. As the purchasing
power Of their product was reduced,
many gold mining operators have been
attracted to other fields, such as oil
drilling in the States, in which the
chances OF large speculative profits were
greater than in placer mining. The
only large gold mining ventures in
Alaska were the lode mines near Ju-
neau, where the margin Of profit was
so small that the increased cost of OPP
Grafton due to the war has imperiled
their success.
Alaska still contains, however, large
reserves OF gold bearing gravels that
can be mined at profit when transpor-
tation conditions are improved. More
bonanza camps may be found, but the
only certain future lies in the develop
mcnt of deposits OF lower grade. II is
now certain that in three years there

railroad connecting tidewater on the
Pacific with Fairbanks and navigable
waters on the Yukon. To give its full
benefit to the mining industry, how,
ever, the railroad must be connected
Nith mining eenters by good wagon
roads.
Except on the railroad the trsnspor-
tation conditions in Alaska were worse
IN 1919 than in any previous year, and
this has tended to discourage those who
were planning new ventures.

gold worth about 81 100000. Twenty
FIVE mines in 1918 produced gold worth
S3,473,000 The increase in 1919 came
from the three mines at juneau but
does not assure the continued prosper
ity of the lode mining industry, for
these mines are working on too small a
margin TO make it certain that they
viii be able 20 pay the increasing ex
pense of mining.
Eight copper mines were operated In
1919, producing about 44,s00,000 pounds
of COPPER, valued at Ss,500000. The
output in 1918 was 69,225,000 pounds,
valued at Sl7 100000, and came from
~ mines. Owing to the fall in the
price OF copper and the uncertainty OF
the market, the larger mines decreased
their output and many of the small
ones were closed. Throughout the war
the small operator has been hampered
by lack of shipping to transport his ore
aud OF smelters to reduce it. Largely
for these reasons there has been rela !.
lively little prospecting for copper dur
ing the last few years, Should the
price of copper go up, many small mines
would resume operations and the larg
er ones would increase their output.
The silver output of Alaska in 1919
was about 100000 ounces, of which
some 100000 ounces was recovered from
copper ores Alaska's lead output of
1919 is estimated to be 500 tons, prac-
tically all by -product of the gold lode
mines.
Preliminary estimates indicate that
about 40 tons of metallic tin was pro-
duced in Alaska during 1910, all from
placers, but important Developments
were continued on lode mines.
Some platinum was recovered in the
mining Of placer gold, and the mining
of certain copper ore which carries pal
ladium and platinum was continued.
The most important features of the
Alaska coal mining industry in 1919
were (l) the continuation of systemat-
ic mining in the Matanusks field by
the Alaska engineering commission, ~

the systematic prospecting of lease in
the Bering river field, and 81 the be-
ginning of the mining of the Nenana
Ignite. The connecting link of the
Alaska railroad between Fairbanks and
the Nenana field was completed. and
the Ignite is therefore now available
for use in the Fairbanks district and
should stimulate the gold-mining indus
try. About $4,000 tons of coal, of which
1000 tons was Ignite, was mined in
Alaska during the year.
The petroleum produced in Alaska in
1919, as in previous years, came from
the only patented oil land of the terri
tory. in the katalla field. The output
was increased, and drilling continued.
In view of the probable early enact
ment of an oil-land leasing law, the in

been enacted there win undoubtedly be
