Outgoing Commerce for First
II Months in 1926 Val
ued at $76,328,4l5.
THIRD IN HISTORY OF
TERRITORY'S COMMERCE
Exceeded Only by 1917 and
1918 Fisheries Main
Factor in Increase.

With an aggregate value of SIS.
32S,415, shipments from Alaska to the
States during the first II months CT
1926 increased over 1925 by $l9'
264,382, according to figures made
public today by Collector of Customs
J. c. Mcbride. Only twice in the
history Of the Territory has THIS
figure been exceeded, 1917 and 19IS,
both wartime years.
In volume of business last year
probably exceeded both these years
as prices of an commodities repre-
scented in the list were considerably
in excess OF those prevailing last
year.
Fisheries and Gold Jump
A pronounced increase in the value
of products of the fisheries indus
tries, mainly canned salmon, was the
main factor in the increase for 1926.
The value of fisheries products shipp-
ed from January to December l,
1926, was 55,765 .s54, or $lS,574,00o
more than in 1925. Canned salmon
alone jumped from 2S,501 SIG to $4S,-
024,O51, an increase of $l9,522,535.
The total value of all fisheries pro-
ducts came within about $2O00,00o
of equallng all shipments of Al
askan products for the first III
months of 1925.
Gold Makes Gain
Gold and silver shipments for the
period January to November inclu-
siye had declared value of $5,-
779,47S as compared to $4,6S1, ,23l for
the same, period in 1925. This, how
ever, does not cover all of the gold
shipped during that time. None of
the by-mail shipments are included
as this class of exports are not re-
ported until after the close of the
year. Between 1900 900 and $4,000
900 will be added to this commodity,
it is expected, when final figures
are made up by the Customs service.
Copper About Normal
I Shipments of copper ore were vir-
tually normal for hte period. The
value of this commodity shipped for
the first II months OF the year was
$10,030.095, as compared to $10.GsO..
933, loss of $650,82S.
Herring showed marked de-
cline, due it is believed to late runs
in western areas. The herring ex-
ports for the period covered were
valued at s1.46O,012, as against $3,'
1914. .4O7, showing a loss of $1,734,395
Mldcured salmon broke about
even, slight loss being recorded.
The II months shipments were valu
ed at $1,140,90S as compared to ST.
1868.
Fresh salmon shipments became
noticeable item, its value being
S526. .307
Halibut shipments showed the re-
spective total OF $l.743,0l2. slightly
in excess of last years total
There was little change in thu
value of fur shipments for the period.
The aggregate value OF all furs
shipped was $94O,365 as compared to
/ $953,9 This does not include either
furs shipped by mail or the annual
take of fur seal on the Pribilof Is.

ALASKA JUNEAU
PILES UP HUGE
TONNAGE TOTAL
Sets New Marks for Mining,
Tramming and Milling
During Past Year.

In 1926, for the third successive
year the Alaska Juneau Co. set up
new records for mining and milling,
according to figures on operations
made public today by General Sup
erintendent l.. H. Metzgar. 1t min
than ever before in its history and
for the last three months of the
year boosted its daily average to
12,200 tons trammed cut OF the
mine
The production for the year, ST.
100000, was slightly below that of
1925, due to a slight reduction in
average ore value mined during a
portion OF. the year. This lean
streak, Mr. Metzgar said has van
ished and the values are back to
normal and have been for some
time.
Biz Factor in Industry
The Alaska Juneaus output CON
tinued to be the biggest factor in
the Territory's production and con-
stituted over one-third of the total
of all gold shipped out during the
frs II months of the year, the ag-
gregate being less than $4,000, 900
During the year 3.S00.000 tons
of ore were trammed out of the
mine. 31S,360 tons more than in
1925 when a new record was made
with 21S16t0 tons
OF this volume. 100000 were
fine milled as compared to 1.156,-
PAS tons in 1925, and 2,200, 600
was discarded as waste as against
100000 last year.
Payroll Is Larger
The mine payroll showed sub
stantial growth during the year
The average number of employees
of the company as of December was
500 One year ago the average was
557, or 4S less than the present
figure.
The company continued its plant
betterment and enlargement pro-
gram, expending for that purpose
during 1926 total of $1S0,O00
or. $4,000 more than in 1925.
Included in the mill improve
ments were two fine crushers and
an additional set of "a by 60 rolls

new RECORD IS
SET IN TIMBER
SALES IN 1925
Forest Service Announces
Old Records Broken by
Local Timber Industry.

Although complete figures for the
timber cut for the calendar year
1926, sales from national forests in
Alaska probably exceeded all prev'-
by District Forester c. II. Flory Re
ceipts from sales to about December
|, later figures being unavailable
amounted to slightly less than $1O0,.
900 Atr ~ sAsis'aA - -
The high mark. previous to 1926,
was set in 1925 when the receipts
from timber sales were $93 3,233,11.
Mr. Flory said all indications pointed
to 1927 sales reaching figure mate
rally larger than those for last year.
Reviews Years Activities
In brief statement reviewing last
years work, Mr.. Flory said:
while complete figures are not
available it seems probable that the
timber cut on the National Forests
of Alaska for the year 1926 will ex.
ceed all previous records. The pre-
sent high mark, both in volume and
total receipts for the Tongass forest
was set in 1925, when timber sale
receipts totalled $93 ,233.11.
THE three largest mills in the ter
ritory are the Ketchikan Spruce
Mills, cutting IL to II million board
feet: the Wilson Sylvester Mill Co
at Wrangen which cuts from to
10 million feet annually and the Ju-
neau Lumber Mills with cut of
to 7 million feet. Other small mills
deriving their timber supply from
the Alaskan National Forests are the
Ketchikan Lumber e. Shingle Mill
Ketchikan; Hyder Lumber Co, Hy
der; The Cordova Mill and Lumber
Co, Cordova, and the Sitka-SprucC
Lumber and Box Co, Sitka.
Increased Coal Demand
There was one cargo shipment
to the east coast supplied jointly by
the Ketchikan and Wrangell Mills
generally increased local consump-
ton due to development at home ac
counts for the fact that only one
cargo shipment was made, although
considerable quantity Of high grade
spruce was shipped to the genera
markets of the United States by the
regular steamers plying between AL
askan ports and Seattle.
THE three largest mills operate
box factories and this product con
stitutes approximately so per cent ol
their output.
TRAP piling, both for standing ant
floating traps comprises another
large class of material cut from
Southeastern Alaskan forests. Dur
ing the past year there was a heavy
demand for long spruce of medium
butt diameter for building a new
style of floating trap originated BY
G. j. Alexander, the well known
cannery man.
Beginning with last year the mills
of Southeastern Alaska have begur
to cut ties from Western hemlocr
| for the Alaska Railroad. This feat
ure of the timber industry promise!
to increase considerably during 1872,
| and succeeding years.
Push Inventory Work
Inventory Of material on the Ma
tional Forests is being pushed for
ward each year as fast as funds an(
personnel will permit. Up to tn,
present time approximately 100000

reconnaissance, which means map
