ALASKA'S 1919 MINERAL
. OUTPUT IS $1S,S5O,0OO
Smallest Since 191O-Decline Laid
to Copper's Return to Normal
and Fall of Prices.

The mineral output of Alaska in
1919 was smaller than in any year
since 1910 and it's value was less than
half that of 1916, according to pre-
liminary estimates of the geological
survey made public today.
The output for the year brought
only about $1S.S50.000. as compared
with s2S. .254, 900 in 1918 and s4S,600. 900
in 1916. This decline was attributed
chiefly to the reverting of the copper
industry to normal conditions as a
result of the fall in the price of the
metal since 1916. when the war de-
mand greatly stimulated production.
depression in gold mining was also
caused by high operating costs.
Eight copper mines were operated
in Alaska in 1919. producing about
44.S00.0O0 pounds. valued at $S.500,000
The production in 1918 was 69,225.O00
pounds. valued at $1,000, 900 The
value of the annual output of gold
declined from s16,7O0,0O0 in 1916 to
50. 100000 in 1919.
Alaska still contains large reserves
of gold-bearing gravels that can be
mined profitably when transportation
conditions are improved the report
said, adding that the most important
events of the year for the future in
mining in Alaska were the continua-
ton of the work on the government
railroad and the assurance by con-
gressonal action of the money needed

it is more probable that it was due to the temporary curtailment in the sup | ply of money caused by the payment of the Anglo-French loan and of interest on the Fourth Liberty loan on October IS. The firmness of the stock mark tt despite high call money rates has en- couraged those who believe that all
 probable depression has been fully dis counted and on Friday when the money
 rate declined both rails and industrials recovered sharply. There has been no 1et-up in the strength of the bond mar
 ket as the process of transferring busi-
 ness profits to fixed interest bearing
 securities goes on, and new issues
 have been numerous and successful. But despite the tendency of the ba- rometer to rise as business runs with [ the storm, the news from abroad af- fecting our export trade helps keep the mercury low. The British coal miners apparently have made up their mind to strike and the consequent .curtail- Ment of industry will reduce all our ex- ports except coal. which already is in
 greater demand than supply. Great
 Britain reports falling prices, indus trlal curtailment and cancella t{onN; France and Germany further increases in note circulation; Holland sensational drops in stock prices. From many quar-
 ters American exporters are advised to watch their credits carefully, for it IS reported that since the beginning of price declines considerable amounts of our goods have been refused in foreign markets and will have to be lquida ted at a loss.
 An incident of importance in the weeks happenings is the visit of Gen. eral Oregon, President elect of Mexi- co,~to the State Fair of Texas, now be- ing held at Dallas. He is accompanied
 by numerous commissions whose ob- Ject seems to be to promote amity and commerce with the United States. From the reports that they bring, Mexico seems to be entering upon a new era, and it may well be that the contrac- tion in our trade with Cuba that is likely to result from the financial re- action there will be offset by our ex- ports to Mexico, where our products are now in eager demand
 Maintenance of our export trade con- stantly becomes more important as do- nestle demand falls off Except for it we are weathering the storm satsfac- torily, even though with more discom- fort and damage than the necessity of passing through it should involve.
