OUTPUT SMALLEST

Washington. Dec. 81. -- Alaska's
mineral output in 1919 WAS the small
est OF any year since 1910 and its
value was less than half that of 1916,
preliminary estimates of the geologi-
cal survey made public today show.
The output for the year brought only
about $lS.S50,000 as compared with
$2S,254,O 900 in 1918 and $4S, 900 in
1916.
The decline was attributed prlnci-
pally 10 the revertng of the copper
industry to normal condf OILS as a re-
suit of the fan i'll the Jricc of the
metal since 1916, when the war de-
mand greatly stimulated production.
High operating costs also caused a
depression in gold mining.
Eight copper mines were operated
in Alaska in 1919, producing about
44S00,00O pounds valued at $S,500,-
GOO. The production in 1913 was co.
225,000 pounds, valued at 1909, 600.
The V~lue of the annual output of
gold declined from $1,000 600 in 1916
10 81, 100000 in 1919.
Alaska still contains large reserves
of gold bearing gFavels that can be
mined profitably when transportation
conditions are improved. the report
said, adding that the most important
event of the year for the future in
mining in Alaska was the continuation
of the work on the government rail
