Engineer Tom Burns
 Finishes Long Mush

Having been away from Hyder for seven months, visited the Mac kenzie river, investigated the oil situation there, prospected for pIa- Ger in the Liard district and made straight mush of 1885 miles out to civilization, living on such game as he could shoot and snare, JT. Burns, known all over the North az Engineer Burns, has returned te Hyder. With him is Perry, his far nous husky dog who has q record of having mushed over 26,00O miles not counting his trips by boat. He was born in Cleary IS years ago and is known to hundreds ot sour. doughs.
 MT. Burns says that he found seVr eral prospects in the Liard country where a man could pan from ten to twelve dollars per day, but that the inaocessibility of the country makes profitable minisas; there at the present time ut of the qNes- ten. With transportation available this will, he says, become a great producer not only of gold s0t ei other minerals, and he emphasizes the fact that the head of Portland Canal is the natural outlet for railroad
 Falling from a cliff northwest of Lizard Post he broke d foot Ind ill, jured hip, and had a hard mush of 78 miles to the post. There he re. cuperated foy awhile and then came across to Carcross by way of DeaSe Lake and Telegraph Creek.
 He mentions finding a Vast bed of fossils at an elevation of 4000 feet, from which he brought a fess silized goat hogn. He found a per. feet fossilized fish seven inches long but it was too heavy to pack out.
 In trip of three years across AL aska some time ago Mir. Burns pall- ned 1876 creeks and found gold in 1035 of chem. He claims that in spite of the millions taken out Al. aska is still the richest country in the world. He came to the Terri tory rom Australia 23 years ago.

PAT DAILY SUENG NELL?

 Mineral.
 Production

The value of the total mineral production of Alaska increased from $19.62O,0OO in 1913 to $22,O7O,0OO in 1920 according to estimates by Alfred H. Brooks, United States Geo. logical survey, Department of the Interior. This brings the value of the total mineBal production of the Territory up to $460,OO0,OO0, ovsB half of which is to be credited to the last decade. The apparent pros peVity of the Alaska mining indus try during the year is due solely to the increase in the output of copper from 47,220,000 pounds, valued at $8,783,0OO in 1919, to about 1000 900 pounds, valued at SIP, 100000. in 1920. Alaska has now produced 616,20O,000 pounds of copper, worth $127,OOO,OOO,
 Alaska has been seriously affect ed by the worldwide depression of the gold-mining industry of the past four years. during which the output of her gold mines has been steadily declining. The output Of gold in AL asAa fell trom $9,426OOO in 1919 to about $8,0O0,000 in 1920, bringing the total gold output up to a value of $320, 100000. This decline is, however. not due to any marked de- pletion of the gold deposits, for the Territory contains enormous poten- tial reserves of gold and other valu- aole minerals, but since the pur- chasing power of gold has decreased it has been impossible to exploit profitably many of the gold depos- its, so that the miner and prospec- tor has been forced to leave. This condition is most serious, for about
Hyder Alaska miner., 1921-01-26

60 per cent of Alaska's population has been supported, directly or in directly, by gold mining.
 The depression of the mining in- dustry in Alaska is only temporary; a change for the better will come when economic conditions become more normal and land transpor- tation has been made cheaper and better. What is chiefly needed is the completion of the government railroad, now assured, the lowering of freight rates and the building of wagon roads.

C. ". Cheatham, superintendent fJr the Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska, has been in camp this week inspecting the work done on the Salmon valley soad and looking in- to requirements for the future. He expressed himself as very we'll sat- isfied with the progress made dur ing the past season. considering the extraordinary climatic conditions under which the crews had to labor and the heavy traffic which was a serious handicap.
 The government, Mir. Cheatham said, is going right ahead with the program already laid out, and in addition he believes that tiere VII be other work done such as, for in- stance, a road part way up Fish creek. The latter would provide transportation for properties on the Alaska side of the line.
 Mir. Cheatham acknowledges the fact that the road now being built will greatly help properties on the Canadian side but points out that these properties are responsible for the founding of the camp, and their success stimulates development on the Alaska side.
 Work on the bridge across Sal mon river at the mouth of Texas creek has been suspended until spring. The piers on each side are in, and all material for the compile
