 Gold Lode Mining "

It is estimated that 15 gold lode mines and five prospects were op- erated in Alaska in 1920, producing about 3,270,000 tons of ore, from which $4, 36O,OOO worth of gold and 106,000 ounces of silver were re- covered. The output in 1919 was 3,262,573 tons of ore, containing gold to the value of $4,392,237 and 10S,691 ounces of silver. Seven of the gold mines operated in 1920 were in Southeastern Alaska, five in the Willow creek district, two at Fairbanks and one in the Copper river region. The prospects, which made only very small output, are in Kenai and Seward peninsula and in the Fairbanks district. The de. velopments and promising discover ies made in the upper Kuskokwim and Sitka districts, as we'll as the preparation for larger operations in the Willow creek district, have been noted above. Two small lode mines and several prospects produced a little gold in the Fairbanks district in 1920. Most of the owners of auriferous lodes in this district have deferred all development work until completion of the railroad lowers operating costs.
 Eight copper mines were in op- eration in Alaska in 1920 and pro- duced about 33O,OOO tons of ore, from which 71,OO0,OOO pounds of copper, 71O,0OO ounces of silver and $12,0OO worth of gold were re- covered. This brings the total cop per production of Alaska during 20 years of mining up to 616,OOO,OOO pounds; but much more than half of this is the output of the last decade. In 1920, as in past years, the only mines that made large output of copper were those con- trolled by the Kennecott Copper corporation, one on Prince William sound, and three in the Kotsina- Chitina district.

to quicken the now stagnant mining industry. Such changes will, how ever, take time, so that general immediate improvement can not be expected.
 Mineral Production, 1920
 Though the mining industry of Alaska as a whole suffered a seri- ous depression in 1920, yet the value of the total mineral output was greater than in 1919, chiefly because of the great increase in the production of copper, largely to be credited to the four large copper mines in the territory. The value of the total mineral production of Alaska was 19,62O,913 in 1919 and about 22,O7O,OOO in 1920. The out put of the gold placers has de- creased, but that of the gold lode mines has been maintained.

 Gold dredging has declined re- latively less than other forms of placer mining, partly because some of the dredges are working very rich ground, partly because the in- vestments in this form of industry are so large that many companies continue operations even with very small profits. In 1919 there were 2s dredges operated in Alaska, which produced gold worth about $1,360,- 900. In 1920 there were P in oper- ation and their production about S1,O20,0O0. The relative efficiency of gold dredging compared with other methods of placer mining is illustrated by the fact that in 1920 about 300 men, or l6 per cent of the total placer miners employed Tn Alaska, produced $1,O2O,OOO, or 2S per cent of the total placer gold mined
 In 1920 there were IT gold dredges operated in the Seward peninsula, two in the Iditaarod and Fairbanks districts, and one in the Mt. Mckinley (McGrath) district. Improvements are being made in the Cache creek dredge, in the Vent na district, and this will probably be operated ill 1921. Plans are also being made for installing two dredg- es in the Innoko district, and for the exploitation of other dredging areas in the kuskokwim region. Owing to the present high operating costs most dredging companies will con- slider only placers whose gold con- tent is 75 cents or more per cubic yard. The average recovery of the dredges in Seward peninsula in 1919 was only 52 cents to the cubic yard and the extensive reserves of dredg- ing ground in the peninsula are con- sequently now attracting little at tention.

 Mining Events of 1920

l Mining Events of 1920
 1 One of the most encouraging features of the years mining was | the systematic development of a large auriferous lode in the Nixon Fork (McGrath) district in the up- per Kuskokwim valley. This ore body gives promise of being valu- able, and if it so proves it will as- sure the beginning of a lode-mining industry in this remote region. Au- riferous naturalization appears to be rather widely distributed in the Kuskokwim basin, .. region which has been relatively little prospected. l The gold of this region occurs in association with granite rocks, which are intruded into limestone and other little altered sedimentary rocks. In general the strong miner alization appears to be more local ized than that in the schist areas of the upper Yukon. Such conditions are favorable to the occurrence of commercial ore bodies.
 The discovery of this lode and the 1, continued success of the Candle creek dredge, near McGrath, has at tracted attention to the Kuskokwim basin, and there has consequently been more prospecting in this pro- vince than in any other part of in ! nd Alaska. Especially noteworthy has been the considerable search and tests for dredging ground in the kuskokwim and immediately ad- jacent region during the last two years.
 The enactment of the oil-ieasing law in February, 1920, together with the worldwide search for pe- troleum, has again attracted public attention to the oil in Alaska. There has not yet been sufficient time to drill under the new regime, but more than half million acres of land has been staked on the as- sumption that it is oil bearing. The evidence in hand indicates that though part of this land is well worth drilling many locations, as during all oil booms, will be found worthless. There is, however, very good prospect of developing produc- ing wells in Alaska.
 .-----.-...--.- Placer Mining ...............-
 During Al years Alaska has pro- duced gold to the value of 32O mil lion dollars, of which $221 ,642,O0O 1 is to be credited to her placer mines. For reasons already stated there was less placer mining in 1920 than <, in 1919, and the outlook under present economic conditions for a revival of the industry as whole is not hopeful. There were 466 sum- mer mines in operation in 1919, employing 2177 miners, and in 1920 there were 37O, with 1880 miners. The number of winter mines oper- ated in 1919 was 8S, employing 613 miners; and in 1920 there were only 36 mines and 125 miners. The 1919 output from both summer and winter mines was $4,97O,O00 and the 1920 output $3,63O,OOO, a de- crease of $1,340,OOO. The decline in production was greatest in the more isolated districts.

A"-o EtldShd mines produced about SS7,000 ounces of silver: in
 1919, 4ss,034 ounces. The lead production increased from 564 tons in 1919 to about $50 tons in 1920. The increased output of silver was largely won from the copper ores, but this increase, like the increase in the production of lead, was in part won from galena ores mined in small way at several localities. The largest shipment of galena ore was made by small mine in the kantishna district.
 About 31 tons of stream tin con- centrates were mined in Alaska in 1920. compared with SC tons in 1919. Most of this tin was mined in the York district, at the west end of Seward peninsula, where one dredge and several small operators were working on placer tin de- poslts. Several tons of stream tin were also recovered from gold-placer mining operations in the Hot Springs and Ruby districts, but this was not shipped, A total of 35 tons of the stream tin was shipped from Alaska in 1920. but a considerable part of this was mined in previous years.
 The gold placers of the south eastern part of Seward peninsula, from the Chistochina (Slate creek) district, and from some other dis tricts, continued to yield some platI- mum in 1920. The Salt Chuck lode mine, in the ketchikan district, al so continued to produce platinum and palladium, as we'll as copper, in 1920.
 Work was continued at the Parks quicksilver mine, on lower kusko- kwim river, in 1920, and some cin- nabar ore was shipped A small shipment of cinnabar ore was also made from prospect in the same district. :
 The coal production in Alaska in 1920 was about 6S,OO0 tons and in 1919 it was 6O,674 tons.
 The Chilkat Oil company con tinued to produce and refine petrol cum in the Katalla field in 1920, and brought in two new wells.
 The production of marble con- tinued in the ketchikan district on about the same scale as in previous years. The gypsum mine, in the Sitka district, which was flooded in 1919, was pumped out in 1920 and production was resumed. The Alaska Sulphur company completed its min- ing and reduction plant on Akun island, in the eastern part of the Aleutian chain, late in the summer of 1920. A shipment of garnet sand, to be used as an abrasive, was made from Nome in 1920. It was mined in the beach sands of Imuruk basin, a tidal estuary about 60 miles north of Nome.

MINING IN ALASKA IN 1920


 sources and production in Alaska for 1920 is now in preparation under the direction of Alfred H. Brooks, of the United States geologi cal survey, department of the in- terior. Some of the important features of this report relating to mining development during the year are abstracted in the following statement Complete statistics of the mineral production of Alaska can not be collected within less than four or five months after the close of the year, but meanwhile it ap- pears advisable to give prompt pu J. lication to preliminary estimates which, based on past experience, are believed to be within five per cent of the actual figures.
 General Conditions
 Mining in Alaska began in 1880 and up to the close of 1920 had produced minerals to the value of S64O,24O, O,OO0, over half of which is to be credited to the last decade. nF moi sD wealth has come from the small but rich deposits termed "bonanzas" Such deposits can be profitably ex- plotted even under, the most adverse conditions of isolation and trans portation, because they yield very large returns On the capital and labor employed.
 Bonanza mining, always the first to be developed in new land is @ most powerful agency in attract ing population, in forming commun- tiles, and in establishing transporta-
 
 tion systems. Such mining will con- tinue, for the known bonanza de- posits in Alaska have been by no means exhausted, and there is a good prospect of finding others. A stable and permanent mining in dustry can not, however, be found- ed on the exploitation of only the very rich ore bodies. Permanency must be based on the development of the larger deposits of lesser unit value. Sush development depends for it's profits not so much on the richness of the ore as on economies made possible by the magnitude of the operations. Large mining oper- ations cannot be successful at places that are served only by the hap hazard and expensive means of transportation generally available on the frontier. The passage from bo- nanza mining to a stable and per manent industry has naturally taken place ill all mineralbearing regions and has long been under way in the accessible coastal region of Alaska, but the great mineral wealth of the Interior remains practically un- touched except by the bonanza min CT.
 The minerals won from the large low grade ore bodies of Alaska have a total estimated value of $1O5,- O00,000, most of it in gold, the re- mainder including the value of cop per and other minerals.
 The above estimate includes the output of CD auriferous lodes, whose gold and silver content is valued at less than $250 a ton, (2) copper ores containing an average of not more than per cent of copper, (3) placers having a gold content worth less than 75 cents to the cubic yard, and (4) marble

and gypsum of Southeastern Alaska.

The output of the low-grade de posits has come mainly from the gold mines of Juneau, but it also
 includes the product of some of the larger copper mines of Ketchikar and Prince William sound and 8 ! large part of the gold recovered by dredging in Seward peninsula All the grade deposits thus far developed are at or near tidewater and have therefore not had to bear the high cost of land transportation, which can be borne only by bonanza deposits. Many mineral deposits of low grade are known in Alaska, and the prospect of finding others is good.
 The exploitation of large mineral deposits of low grade yields only q small profit per ton, but under nor nal industrial conditions this dis advantage is offset by the large ton mage produced. Under the present high operating costs and relatively low market value of mineral pro- ducts the profits on certain opera tions are entirely swept away, so that during the last two years there has been no great incentive to this form of mining in Alaska, and but few large mining ventures have been undertaken.
 The long interdict on the use of the mineral fuels of Alaska has greatly retarded all forms of mining in the territory. It not only enhanc- ed the cost of all mining by pro- hibiting the use of local fuels, but it made the industry lose the ad- vantage of the improvement in in dustrial conditions that would cer- tainly have followed the develop ment of coal and oil.
 The situation was relieved some what by the coal-land leasing act of 1913, but unfortunately this re- lief came at about the time when unstable industrial conditions were brought about by the war and by the readjustments that followed peace. In 1920 further help was given by the passage of an oil land leasing act, but it has been passed too recently to affect the Alaska mining industry.
 As about 96 per cent of the value of the mineral output of Alaska has been taken from her gold and cop
 per mines, the worldwide depres. sion in the mining of these two metals, which continued through
 1920, has been staggering blow to the prosperity of the territory
 About 60 per cent of the popula. tion of Alaska has heretofore been directly or indirectly supported by gold mining. With the relative de. crease in the value of gold the min
 CT and prospector has been forced to leave the Territory and the popu lation has declined. This decline however, must not be regarded as an indication of the early exhaus- tion of the gold resources, for Alaska contains enormous potential reserves of gold and other minerals. The depression of the mining in. dustry is only temporary; a change for the better will come when gen. eral economic conditions become more normal and water and land transportation are cheaper and bet ter. A lowering of freight rates, the completion of the Government railroad, and the building of large mileage of wagon roads are needed
