gold and coal, but these decreases are believed to have been of only temporary significance and do not at all indicate a permanent decline. In fact, throughout the Territory there were unmis talkable signs that many of the operators were putting their in more efficient condi- tion and that people with capital were seeking opportunity for invest ment in large operations of stability rather than in projects that would be quickly worked out or in specula- tive mining ventures The influence of improved mining methods and lar ger-scale operations have already begun to yield results at some of the mines, and further effects are to be expected in 1926, though it may still be several years before all the projects now under way will be sig nificantly reflected by notable in crease of production.
 There are still large areas in AL aska that have not been adequately and many promising pro- perties are now lying idle, because of lack of capital for the necessary equipment. The shortage of enter prsing prospectors is a serious draw

h1gn efflc1ency ana at low cost Tn the Nome district extensive experi- mentation in the thawing of frozen ground in advance of dredging tied up two of the large dredges, so that it was late in the season before they were operatin to capacity ~ According to preliminary estimates the "A dredges in operation in Alas ka in 1925 produced gold valued at about $1,470,000, or about $100,OOO less than in 1924. The largest de- crease was in the Yentna, Fairbanks, and Circle districts. The new dredge of the Panama Valley Gold Dredging Co.,, on Fish Creek, in the Fairbanks district, was not completed in time to be in active operation during the year.
 Copper.
 In 1925, as in other years, the out put of copper was largely made by the Kennecott, Mother Lode, and Green Butte mines, in the Copper River region, and the Beatson mine, on Latouche Island. The total pro- duction from these properties in 1925 was slightly larger than in 1924, but most of the increase indicated in the foregoing estimate is largely attri- butable to the higher price of cop per. In southeastern Alaska some production of copper was reported from the mine of the Alaska Palla- Idium Co.,, on Kasaan Peninsula, Prince of Wales Island, but the most valu- able product from this mine was pal ladium, one of the group of platinum metals. Prospecting for copper lodes in the Copper River region, other than in the vicinity of Kennecott, and in the Prince William Sound re- zion, other than at Latouche, was practically at standstill, though in both these regions copper mining and prospecting had been active in the past.
 Coal.
 The production of coal showed a consid eralble decrease for the year. The outlook, however, for an in- creased production in 1926, if suit able markets are found, is exceed ingly good. In the Matanuska field the Evan Jones mine, the largest pro- ducer, was completely closed down for three months to make necessary changes and alterations, and after it was reopened in August operations were not at once resumed on as large scale as formerly. Furthermore, one of the former producers in the Moose Creek field became involved in certain legal difficulties, and as result it's output was reduced. Serious floods in September inter- rupted traffic on the Moose Creek spur and delayed the completion of an extension of the railroad to the mines farther up the creek which had ben we'll under way earlier in the summer.
 In the Healy River field much of the open season was spent at the Suntrana mine in building new tip-

back that has resulted because wages for comparable work are actually lower in Alaska than in the States,
 though expenses are higher. AS a
 result Alaska can not attract or hold
 the class of prospectors it formerly
 did. The need of capital grows more pressing as more extensive equipment becomes essential. Capital, howver, will not be attracted to Alaska un- less the extremely high prices now

 The most notable development at any of the gold lode mines during the year was the enormous amount of ore handled by the Alaska Juneau Co. ill the Juneau district, in south eastern Alaska, which during some months exceeded a rate of 10000 tons day. Work on the addition to this company's mill has proceeded thru out the year and is now more than tWo-thirds finished. Increased pro- duction was also reported by the three gold mines on Chichagof Is- land. Tn the Hyder district, several of the mines or prospects made test shipments ranging from 1 to 10 tons or more the amounts of gold and sill yer from which have been encourag- ing. In Kenai Peninsula and ad- jacent regions some gold has been obtained from the lodes at Nuka Bay and south of Hope. The mines in the Willow Creek district have con- tinued to be productive, and the greatest increase was made at the Fern mine, on Archangel Creek. In the Fairbanks region the Mohawk mine, on Ester Dome, and the Crites- Feldman property, on a tributary of Fairbanks Creek, yielded the great est amount of gold, but interest in prospecting for lodes in several oth- CT places has been stimulated. A small mill was completed at the Wy oming mine, on Bedrock Creek.
 In addition to the silver-lead prop critics in the Hyder and Kantishna districts, silver lode prospects have been reported in the vicinity of Skagway, near the international boun- dary, and development work has con- tinued on the silver-lead vein east of WrangeI. Considerable silver is also recovered from the copper ores-in fact, these ores still continue ito be the largest source of silver produced in the Territory.
 Gold Piacers.
 There was decided falling off in the amount of gold recovered from the Alaska placers during 1925. The only camps where marked increases were reported are the Yentna dis trict; the Circle, Tolovana, and Koy- ukuk districts, in the Yukon Panama region and the Fairhaven district, in Seward Peninsula. Some of the decrease is attributable to dry wealth CT in the early part of the season and floods in the fall. The decrease in the Fairbanks and Nome districts, however, was in part due to the fact that large companies which had recently acquired extensive tracts in both there districts were busy with preparatory work and were not ready 10 produce. This was especially true in the Fairbanks district, where the Fairbanks Exploration Company, which had acquired large areas that had been formerly worked by num- Der of small opera tors, spent most of the season in stripping a large part of the valley of Goldstream Creek, building 6itches and test dr;iIing ,s:so ;rac,, so that sInssui.:. n.'. ing could be based upon sound in- formation and thus conducted with

INCREASE IN THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE OUTPUT OF MINER
 ALS-coAL DECREASES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6. (P)- The Department of the Interior an nounces, through advance statements prepared by the Geological Survey, that mines in Alaska produced min erals to the value of ,$17,S50,OOO in 1925, as against $17,457 ,333 in 1924. The total value of the mineral out put of Alaska since 1880 is nearly $553, 100000. The figures for 1925, which are estimates and subject to revision, are taken from the Surveys s annual report on the mineral resour- ces of Alaska, now in preparation. The source of this mineral wealth is approximately as follows:

CHICAGO, March 24.--The
latest racing expose in Kentucky
had an echo here today when
eleven bookmakers complained
that they had quit losers at Haw-

twelfth boasted that he had quit
before the paddock poison had
been spread.
Their complaints were inspired
by the action of the Kentucky
Racing Association and the View
York Jockey Club in barring sev-
eral Jockeys and teraineTs who
were alleged to have thrown
races. Each said he coula name

had this to say:
