PRODUCTION QF GOLD IS AHEAD
 0F LAST YEAR
THREE QUARTERS MILLION GAIN REGISTERED IN
 FIRST 9 MONTHS

!! Alaska's gold production this
 year bids fair to set new record for the decade, 1t was indicated when it was learned by the Juneau Empire that the first nine months output as shown by the United States Customs Service figures off outging shipments was ST 1,001 .OOO.
 This was $752,774 in excess of like period in 1929, as revealed by the same source of information. AS the 1929 production was the larrest since 1922, the yield for the next three months has only to equal the
 ast three months to surpass it-
 Silver production, however, will drop materially in value and some in quantity. This is accounted for largely by the low prices that have prevailed all year for that mineral. Another factor was the declining copper output from which some 0f the silver comes as a by-product. The total silver value for the first nine months of this year was $i4l,- TOO, as compared to $212,416 for the same period last year and total of $281,731.
 Gold shipments this year by the month were as follows January s286, ,987; February, $27O1o4 March s255, ,457; April $294,26O; May, s24;.- 515; June, $697,4o3; July, $815,822; August, $s5O,657; September, S5o6, 215.
