MINE INSPECTOR STEWART MAKES
 ANNUAL REPORT
Valuable Information on Ore Production of Alaska Is
 Made Public Today.

The annual report of Territorial Mine Inspector B. D. Stewart, for 1921, has been submitted to Gov. Riggs. The report, in book form, has just been issued from the press of The Daily Empire, and distributed to members of the Territorial Legis- lature. The report, an exhaustive one covering all subjects in clear and concise manner, is said to bel the best yet issued by any Terrtor- ial Mine Inspector.
 There is much valuable information contained in the report which com prises 76 printed pages. Very few persons have any knowledge of the mineral production of Alaska. Mine Inspector. Stewart shows that from 1880 to 1920, the mineral produc- tion of Alaska totaled $460, ,331 ,005. The production of gold during that period was $319 664,993. Silver pro duction did not begin until 1888, and up to 1920, was valued at $7,203,587. 1
 Copper, lead, tin, antimony, plati- mum and. palladium have also been
 
 per, Ming Inspector Stewart shows, | that the first known production was in 1880, hwhen 3,933 pounds were taken out There is no record of output from 1881 to 1900, and then the production started in big way, 1916 and 1917 being the banner years, the value of the ore produced in those two years being 3,724, ,S89.
 Production of lead has been sur prisingly large the two banner years being 1901 and 1902, when the value of the lead produced was $259,744.
 Tin production had the big inning from 1902 to 1909.
 Anthony production began in 1915 and through the year 1918 the value was estimated to be $237 300.
 A total of approximately $160,000 worth of platinum and palladium ores have been produced in the Territory, most of which has been mined during the years of 1919 and 1JZU.

 He said today that while an at tempt was made to secure large appropriation this year to care for the increased scope of the work at the five experimental stations in the Territory, it was not raised over that of last year, only $75,000 being ap- propriated.
 The work will be carried out along the same lines as in previous years with experiments being con ducted in cross fertilization of grains to produce grain suitable to be grown in the short summer season of interior Alaska. This year, Dr Georgeson is convinced that a grain will be grown that will more nearly come un to the requirements than any so far perfected. Seventy var ieties of grain have been expert mented with and perfected at the various experimental stations of the North
