COPPER

Eight copper mines were in opera Jon in Alaska in 1920 and produced about 3SO,0OO tons of ore, from which 100000 pounds of copper, 710,00O odntts of silver, and $12,0oO worth of gold were recovered. This brings the total copper production of Alaska dur ing 2o-years of mining up to !616,oOo,- 50 pounds; but much more than half of this output of the last decade. In 1920, as in past years, the only mines that made a large output of copper
 !ere those controlled by the Kennecott Copper Corporation, one on Prince William Sound, and three in the Kot- sina- -Chitna district.

GOLD LODE MINING

It is estimated that 15 gold lode mines and 5 prospects were operated in Alaska in 1920, producing about B. 270,000 tons of ore, from which $4,- 36O,OO0 worth of gold and LOG, ,000 oun- ces of silver were recovered. The out put in 1919 was 3,262,573 tons of ore, containing gold to the value of $4,392,- 237 and 108, ,691 ounces of silver. Seven gold mines operated in 1920 were in southcastern Alaska, 5 in the Willow Creek district, 2 at Fairbanks, and l in the Copper River region. The ros- poets, which made only 8 very small output, are in Kenai and Seward pan- insulas and in the Fairbanks district. The developments and promising dis coveries made in the upper Kusko- kwim and Sitka districts, as well as yAe Willow Creek district, have been noted above. Two small lode mines and several respects produced a little gold in the, Fairbanks district in 1920. Most of the owners of auriferous lodes in this district have deferred all develop ment work until completion of the rail load lowers operation costs.

MISCELLANEOUS METALS

In 1920 Alaska mines produced .bout sS7, 7,OO0 ounces 0f silver; in 1919 4ss,oa4 ounces. The lead production in creased from 564 tons in 1919 to about ssO 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 To- calities. The largest shipment of ga lena ores mined in a small way at several localities. The largest ship ment of galena ore was made by a small mine in the Kantishna district.
 About 31 tons of stream tin con centrates were mined in Alaska in 19 20, compared with S6 tons in 1919. Most of this tin was mined in the York district, at the west end. of Seward Peninsula, where one dredge and sev- eral small operators were working on placer-gold mining operations in the Hot Springs and Ruby districts, but this was not shipped. A total of 35 tons of stream tin was shipped from Alaska in 1920, but considerable part of this was mined in. previous years.
 The Gold placers of the southeast cm part of Seward Peninsula, from the Chistochina (Slate Creek) district and from some other districts, continu. ed to yield some platinum in 1920. The Salt Chuck lode mine, in the Ketchi- kan district, also continued to produce platinum and palladium, as well as copper in 1920.
 Work was continued at the Parks quicksilver mine, on lower 'Kuskokwim River, in 1920, and some cinnabar orc was produced. A small shipment of cinnabar ore was also made from a prospect in the same district, :.

COAL AND OIL

In.additioI to the prospecting of high grade coal in the Matanuska coal field by the Navy Department, noted above, coai mining was continued in this field by the Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion on about the same scale as in pre- vious years, to obtain fuel for the rail- road and the nearby towns. Much un- derground work was: done by the Ber- Ing siver<coal Company, in the west crn part of the Boring River field, but no coal was produced except for use at:the mine. The Alaska: Coal and Pe- sroleum Company also continued un- dergreund. expborationssin the eastern part of the field.

ALASKA MINING NOTES

Gold dredging has declined relative ly less than other forms of placer min ing, partly because some of the dredg- s are working very rich ground, part ly because the investments in this form of industry are so large that many companies continue operations .ven with very small profits. In 1919 there were 2S dredges operating in AL aska, which produced gold worth s1,- 560,000; in 1920 there were 22 dredges operated, which produced gold worth about $l,O2O,OOO. The relative effici- .ncy of gold dredging compared with other methods of placer mining is il- .ustrated by the fact that in 1920 about 300 men, or 16 per cent of the ,otaI placer miners employed in Alas ka, produced $1,020,0OO, or 2S percent If the total placer gold mined.
 In 1920 there were IT gold dredges operated in the Seward Penins,.
 i'll the Iditarod and Fairbanks districts, and in the Mount Mckinley (Mc- ,;rath) district. Improvements are be- 4ng made in the Cache Creek dredge, in the Yentna district, and this will probably be operated next year. Plans are also being made for installing two dredges in the Innoko district, and for the exploitation of other dredging ground in the Kuskokwim region. Ow-
 ne present high operating costs most dredging companies will consider only placers whose gold content is 75 cents or more to the cubic yard. The average recovery of the dredges in Seward Peninsula in 1919 was only 52 cents to the cubic yard, and the exten- siye reserves of dredging ground in the Peninsula are consequently now attracting little attention.
