ALASKA'S MINERALS
(Contnued from Page 1.)

adjacent regions some gold has been obtained from the lodes at Nuka Bay and south of Hope. The mines in. the Willow Creek district have continued to be productive, and the greatest in- crease was made at the Peru mine, on Archangel creek. In the Fairbanks region the Mohawk mine, on Ester dome, and the Crites-Feldman prop t'erty, on tributary of Fairbanks creek, yielded the greatest amount of gold, but interest in prospecting for siodes in.several other places has been stimulated A small mill was com pleted at the Wyoming mine,, on Bed rock 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 -Skag way, nearthe international boundary, and development work has continued on the silver-lead vein east of Wran- gell. Considerable silver is also re- C convened from the ,>copper ores-in fact, these ores still continue to be the largest source of silver produced in the Eerritory.
 Gold Placers.
 There was decided falling of in the amount of gold recovered from the Alaska placers during 1895 The only camps. where marked increases \ were reported are the Yentna district i the Circle, ToloXana,; and KoyuKuk | districts, '1int the Yukoff-Tanana re- ' igion;. and the Faifhaven district, in Seward Peninsula.

trana mine in building new tipple and arranging the necessary yard and tracks to permit the handling of 200 tons of coal a day. These improve ments will add greatly to the facility with which the coal can be handled, and should improve the cleaning, sig ing and sorting of the product. The completion during tho year of steel bridge across Panama river will afford reliable connection for the branch line that connects the mine with the main track of the Alaska Railroad.
 Interest in the Bering River coal field was revived during the year, but no productive mining was in progress Applications for coal prospecting per mits were filed covering areas south of Riley creek, near the Alaska Rail road, and q short distance north of Panama. A little coal mining was car ried on at the Chicago. creek mine, in Seward Peninsula, and small amount of coal was dug by natives for local use from the coal beds exposed near Wainwright, in Northern .Alaslea.
 Petroleum
 All the petroleum produced Tn Alaska continued to come from the wells of the Chilkat Oii Company. This company's property is near Ka- talla, where in addition to the oil wells it operates small refinery. The gasoline and distiHate produced by the company are much in demand in the local market, as they are said to be of better grade than the usual com mercial brands.
 Exploration for petroleum Uontin- ued to be conducted actively at sev- eral places in the Territory. On the Alaska Peninsula, drilling at the test well ot the Standard Ol1 Company of California on the Pearl creek dome was continued throughout the year, and, according tV the latest reports available, had been carried to the depth of about 5000 feet, without, however, tapping a commercial sup ply of oil. Drilling by the Associated Oil Company in a nearby area is re ported to have been carried to a depth of about 3,20O feet The Geo. logical Survey, in a press bulletin pre- pared by W. K Smith, has stated that the Salmon creek-Bear creek anti cline, north of Jute Bay, and the Wide Bay anticiine are favorable structural features to prospect and that wells drilled on either of these anticiines would start at a geologic horizon estimated at not less than 4,000 feet lower stratigrap phically than

banks district, where the Fairbanks Exploration Company, which had ac- quired large tracts that had been for merly worked by number of small operators, spent most of the season in stripping a large part of the valley of Goldstream creek, building ditches and test-drilling large tracts so that subsequent mining could be based upon sound information and thus con- ducted with high efficiency and at low cost. In the Nome district extensive experimentation in the thawing of frozen ground in advance of dredging tied up two of the large dredges, so that it was late in tn eseason before they were operating to capacity.
 According to preliminary estimates the "A dredges in operation in Alaska in 1925 produced gold valued at about $1,470,0O0 or about $1O0000 less than in 1924 The largest decrease in output from dredges was in the Nome district, and the principal increase was in the Yentna, Fairbanks and Circle districts. The new dredge of the Tanana Valley Gold redging Com pany, on Fish creek, in the Fairbanks district, was not completed in time to be in active operation during the i year.
 Copper.
 ] In 1925, as in other years, the out ,sput of copper. was largely made by the Kennecott, Mother Lode, and i Green Butte mines, in the Copper i river region, and the Beatson mine, on Latouche Island. The total produc- tion from these properties in 1925 was slightly larger than in n~1924, but most ofsthe increase indicated in the fore going, estimate is fargelyjattributabl i to the higher price 4of. copper In Southeastern Alaska some production of topper wasrep ported@from ,thermine :lofthe Alaska Palladium, Company, on f Kassan Peninsula, Prince of Wales Island, but the most iNahte ble product from this mine was palladium, one of the group of platinum metals. Pros i pecting for copper lodes in the Copper river region, other than in the vicin- ity of Kennecott, and in the Prince William Sound region, other than at Latodche, was practically at a stand still, though in both these regions copper mining and prospecting mad been active In the past.
 Coal.
 The production of coal showed a considerable decrease for the year The outlook, however, for an in- creased production in 1926, if suitable markets are found, is exceedingly ] good. In the Matanuska field the Evan Jones mine, the largest pro- ducer, was completely closed down fo1 three months to make necessary ChoiSCo e'iiu dlCeI dIioilS, anu etl CeT II was reopened in August operations were not at once resumed on as large a scale as formerly Furthermore one of the former producers in the Moose creek field became involved ir certain legal difficulties, and as re. suit it's output was reduced Serious floods in September interrupted traf fic on the Moose creek spur and de layed the completion of an extension of the railroad to the mines farther up the creek, which had been well un. der way earlier in the summer.

SCOTS TENNIS TRIUMPH
Z4AQT CARLSON

ONOI1 y ENNIS IKIUMfH :.
In the summer of 1924, on the
Merton Cricket club courts, Wallace
Scott of the University of Washing
ton copied the intercollegiate tennis
singles championship. His achieve
ment brought the title to the far
northwestern sector for the first
time in the history of the games.
Scots victory was well earned.
For he was obliged to work his way
through one Of the strongest fields
ever entered in the affair. In the
finals he rather tipped the old dope
bucket over by whipping Arnold
Jones, Yale's great star, in straight
, sets.
Scott only dropped one set during
of Columbia in the semi-finals. The
; Washingtonian took the first 6-2 and
looked to have the match pretty we'll
sewed up, only to meet reverse by
the same score in the second set.
With the count even, however,
Scott came back for the rubber"
, strong, handing Anderson another
, CO beating.
Scott reached the next to last
round by defeating Patton, Prince
ton; Rockafellow, Colgate. and Lang,
! Columbia, in turn. Each was high
ranking player, too.
Pitted against the sterling. Jones
in the finals, Scott showed his best
| play Of the tournament. He an
nexed the first skirmish, CO, which,
by the way, seemed to be his favorite
score, and grabbed the second by a
similar count.
Scott then brought. the Champion
ship to Washington and the Pacific
northwest for the initial time in his
tory by taking the third and decid-
ing set, rs, after, it had developed
into one Of the most closely contest
ed in the entire get-together.,

'GRAW WILL
AGAIN DEPEND
ON VETERANS
Giants Claim 1925 Defeat
Due To Injuries as Much
as Anything Else

New York, Jan. 6.--R)-The New
York Giants will open their 1925
drive to depose the world champion
Pittsburgh Pirates with prospects of
an improved pitching staff, an in
field restored to 1924 strength, and
reorganiZed outtield. Although
John McGraw frankly comedies Pitts
burgh youth and power in ma
chine which outstripped his club last
season. he maintains that the Giants
of 1925 were beaten as much because
of injuries as by the Pirate often
sive.
For this reason he has decided to
again depend on his veterans. OF
the few deals he has made, the most
notable brought pitcher Jimmy Ring
here from the Phillics in exchange
for Wayland Dean and Jack Bentley.
Eeinie Groh, Fran Frisch, and
Travis Jackson, who suffered leg in
iuries in the last campaign. have re-
covered, and McGraw intends to start
them at third base, second and
shartstop, respectively. He has de-
cided to return versatile George kel-
ley to first base.
To Give Tyson a Chance
As the result of the failure Of Bill
Southworth and Hack Wilson to
measure up to expectations in the
outfield last year, AL Tyson from
Louisville will be given a chance as
an outficld regular, with Ross Young
and Emil Meusel remaining in the
positions they filled last summer.
The Giant chieftain has high hopes
for his two young pitching stars,
Fred FltZSlmmunS and Kent Green
field.
Hugh McQuillan. suspended last
season by McGraw for attractions OF
the rules, is expected to return tc
condition. Ring and Arthur Nehf
veteran southpaw, are considered
particularly effective against the Pi
rates. Jack Scott, Virgil Barnes ano
Jack Wisner also will be available.
For catchers indications are tina,
the club will depend on the veterans
Frank Snyder and Grover Hartley
and the Wichita recruit. Hughie Nc.
