Gold Mining Declines

''''''S OCCtlHCS
Measured by production, gold min.
ing declined during the year, while
the output of copper and coal in.
creased about 20 per cent. over that
OF 1922. In spite OF the abatement
of PLACER mining because of an ur
usually dry season the value of the
mineral production of the Territory
tributary to the Alaska Railroad in
1923 was $2.100,000, which was great.
er than that of 1922. This increase
was due to the larger production
OF coal and lode gold, and proved
says the report. that cheaper trans.
portaton has already stimulated the
mining industry. While 60 per cent.
of Alaska's mineral output came
from remote districts twenty wears
ago, only five per cent originated
in such places last year.
In spite of the adverse economic
conditions the search for and devel.
opment of auriferous lodes showed
decided progress during the year.
Though no new projects for the ex.
ploitation of large gold-bearing quartz
deposits are in view, it has come
to be realized that Alaska affords
many good opportunities for the de-
velopment of promising rich anrlfer-
Gus lodes Most of the projects
based on such opportunities are too
small to attract capitalists having
large resources but they give oppor-
tunities to small investors: yet they
should be undertaken only with the
guidance of sound technical advice.
Many an experienced miner becomes
so hypnotised by tho sight of a
specimen of rich gold ore that he
mistakes promising prospect for
an ore body of proved value. He
may then spend money for the con
struction of mill to be supplied
from a lode that is only specifically
explored instead of dcyoting it to
the blocking out of ore. The ma
jority of such ventures fall, and
many an Alaskan mining district has
been discredited by such a policy.
S. E. Alaska Lodes
"The Salmon River district, at the
head of Portland Canal contains
many promising gold and silver prop
critics that have been considerably
developed but as yet no productive
mines. A. +. Buddington reports
that in 1923 the prospectors found
western extension of the metal.
Iiferous belt of the district contain
ing some promising gold and silver
prospects, notably In the valley Of
Texas Creek. In the Ketchikan dis.
trict a newly discovered auriferous
lode on Helm Bay was developed
during the year, and small mill
was installed. Farther work was al.
so done on the Moonshine sllver-lead
deposit at Cholmondeiey Sound,
Prince of Wales Island. The con-
tinued successful mining of very low
grade auriferous lode ores at the
large Alaska Juneau property Is the
most important event of the Alaska
quartz mining industry of 1923. The
output was much larger than In 1922.
Interest in aurifcrous lodes was re-
newed by the discovery of rich ores

Pink Being Worn
 By Maid And Maton

For evening wear much importance is attached to the flare that appears only in front. line achieved by the most skillful draping. Sometimes the effect is gained by series of tiny ruffles usually circular in cut, and again by the so-called handkerchief draperies.
 Another mode in direct opposition to this places the flare at the back. One of the newest models recently imported has two gathered ruffles that are placed just across the back Of the skirt.
 As spring approaches soft chiffons, crepes and satins are to certain ex- tent replacing the brocades and velvets of winter. It is very apparent that white and a rather delicate shade of pink are extremely we'll liked. There was time when this particular shade of pink was considered suitable only for debutantes, but one sees it worn by white haired matrons to whom it proves most becoming.
 One frock is fashioned of chiffon in this pale tone. with pattern of squares formed by crystals. Just in front the material is arranged to form circular draperies. To wear with frock of this type nothing could be more charm ing than one of the new fringed shawls ill the same shade. These c0nie in diff ferent colors and are copies of the fla miliar black shawls worn by women of Venice.
