The Nenana daily news., 1920-07-12

In 1919, 25 American vessels (net tonnage 32,444) and Canadian vessels (net tonnage) 4.S7O were operated as common carriers to Alas ka ports. These carried 5,49O tons of freight and 32,SO3 passen- gers northbound and 27S,199 tons of freight and 31,717 passengers southbound. A total of 37O private vessels Cover 20 tons) were oper- ated in the Alaska service during 1919, having an aggregate net ton mage of 11S,169 MT. Robert Semmes estimates that these private vessels carried a total of 65,OOO tons of freight (north and south bound). Nine river steamers were operated On the Alaska Yukon and its tribu- taries in the summer of 1919. These freight, of which 1906 tons was for the Alaskan Engineering com mission. Besides the local passen- gers, of which no record is availa- ble, a total of 1869 in and out bound passengers were carried by the steamers. One steamer was op- erated or the Kuskokwim river dur ing the summer of 1919 and carried a total of about 800 tons of freight. Mining.
 Alaska mines have produced min 'erals to the total value of $483,- OO0,O0O, of which $311, 100000 is the value of the gold output. In 1914, $19,O66,OOO worth of miner als were produced; in 1919, $19,- 100000. During the war there was an abnormally large output of cop per, which in 1916 brought the value of the total mineral output up to $4S,637, ,OOO.
 Alaska gold mining, like that of the rest of the world, has been cur tailed because of economic condi- tions imposed by the war. As a con- sequence. the value of the Alaska gold output has steadily declined from $17,242,OOO in 1916 to about $9, 9,55O,OO0 in 1919. Gold mining has long been the principal Alaska industry, for though it has employed far less men than the fisheries, yet the prospectors and miners, unlike the fishermen, were all permanent residents of the Territory.

INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS AND

Population.

The white population of Alaska, 39,OOO in 1910, increased by 1915 to about 5O,OOO. From 1915 to 1918, owing to war conditions, the population declined, but in 1919 the tide set northward again and there was slight increase, which prob ably will continue in 1920. The present white population of the Ter ritory is estimated to be 36,000, in addition to about 25,OO0 natives, some, of whom are civilized. The industrial population of the Terri tory exceeds 4O,OOO. The loss in population during the period of the war was due to: CD men entering the military service, estimated to number 5000, (2) high wages in the States, (3) the decrease in num- Der of men employed in mining. In 1915, about $500 men were em- ployed in the Alaska mining indus

Introduction.


 made up of representatives of the Interior, Postof1ice, and Agricultural departments, was appointed by and at the request of Hon. John Barton i Payne, secretary of the interior; its purpose being to advise the secre- tary of the interior as to what inn mediate steps can be taken to bet ter conditions in Alaska, what in- dustres can be developed, and re- sources exploited to give employ ment to resident population which, in turn, will give a home market for Alaska products.
 The committee has examined a large mass of data bearing upon Alaska in the files of the various Government departments, including the records and hearings of several previous Alaska investigations. h. formal conference were also held in Seattle with many persons inter- ested in the development of Alaska, including mining, canning, timber, transportation, and commercial in- terests, as we'll as representatives of the Alaskan Engineering com mission and of other Government departments. About month was devoted to the inquiry, and the re- port and recommendations of the committee follow, the arrangement being CD a summary of most im- portant recommendation @ brief statements of the industrial condi- tions in Alaska, and (3) detailed recommendations arranged by topics. Principal Recommendations. e.
 The canvass of the Alaska situa- ition leads the committee to make many recommendations for the inn ,provement of industrial conditions within the Territory, and these are fully set forth in later sections of this report. The most important and urgent of these recommenda- tions are briefly stated as follows:
 l. Lowering of ocean freight and passenger rates and improvement of transportation and mail service thru economies introduced by combina- ton of two existing steamship lines into one.
 ?. Concentration and co-ordina- tion of Federal control of Alaska lands and resources by obtaining Legislative authority for an Alaska Development board, and, pending this, by the appointment of an Inter- Departmental Alaska committee.
 8. Coordination of Federal road construction, and the development of plan for comprehensive sys- tenn of roads and trails to serve the entire Territory. Also the request ing of an appropriation of at least one million dollars for the inaugura- ,tion of this system.
 4. Investigation of the commer- cial feasibility of smelting Alaska copper ores within the Territory. 5. The immediate development of an Alaska pulp-wood industry, and additional surveys of timber and wa ter power looking to the largest pos Isible development >of this industry.

past, over 60 percent of the popula- tion has been directly or indirectly employed by the gold mining indus try. Therefore the decline in gold mining has been the principal cause of Alaska's loss of population and the Encouragement of her residents. In 1916, S4,OOO men were engaged in placer mining; in 1919 only 2,OOO. A revival of gold mining would undoubtedly greatly increase the prosperity of the Territory. :.
 The total placer gold produced in Alaska has a value of S2lS,OOO,- 900. Much of this has been won from the rich bonanza deposits whose exploitation requires little capital. It is not impossible that other rich placers will be found, but tuS OIIy CtIldlIl reserves OI pldcST gold are in the extensive deposits of auriferous gravels containing comparatively small gold values. These must be exploited by mechan- ical methods involving large invest ments. Including in the reserves only the auriferous gravels of which some test has been made and whict are believed to carry enough gol, to warrant exploitation under pre- war economic conditions, the geo logical survey estimates that the AL aska placer gold reserves have a value of between $40, ,OOOO,OOO and s36O, ,0OO,OOO..

try, as compared with about 4,5O0 in 1919.
 The committee believes that un- der present industrial conditions it is undesirable to make special effort to attract men without capital to Alaska. It would be a mistake to draw to Alaska a greater number of men than can be absorbed by the existing industrial development. What Alaska needs is the develop ment of industries to give employ ment to labor and thus to attract a population that, in turn, will give market for local products.
 Industries and Commerce.
 Alaska's basal industries are and always will be mining and fishing, but the Territory includes large re- sources in pulp wood, some timber suitable for export, extensive rein deer pastures, and lesser areas suit able for stock raising. There are large areas of arabic lands in the Territory, but these will be used principally to supply the local pODu- lation attracted by other industries. The total value of Alaska's min eral, fish. and for products, etc,
 1s67-1919, is s949, 100000. Alas ka's most prosperous year was 1916, when the value of her total products was $S9,35O,0OO. The value of all Alaska products in 1919 was about s71. 100000.

Pr0spect0rs E ar1nerS Trappers Tourists
 The Nenana district offers oppor- tunities for prospecting, farming, and
 trapping that are unequaled in any
 other section of Alaska.
 Gold placers of known value, close to Nenana, are producing annually sub- stantial amounts, and there are scores l of streams within the district on which little or no prospecting has been done. These streams, until short time ago almost inaccessible, are now easily
 reached by means of the new Govern ,l, ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon il, III will be the scene of much mining ac- tivity. HI Farming in the Nenana district has l|| the advantage of growing season fully ten days longer than that of any other section of Interior Alaska. There is much desirable land in the district open to homesteaders, and marketing possi- bilities are being expanded steadily. HI Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana and adjacent districts are noted for the II fine quality of their fur, and happers IN annually bring large numbers of belts to Nenana and receive for them higher prices than are obtained for the average III furs of other districts. HI
 Game of all kinds abounds in the
 Nenana district, there are scores of
 trout streams easy of access, and the
 scenic wonders of the district are un-
 surpassed. The district is the natural
 gateway to Mt. Mckinley National
 Park, and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal lodges in the world.
