Production Is ,500,0 ,000 and Operating Profit
 Is $l,l00,000
BREAKS ALL FORMER
 FIGURES LAST YEAR
Continues Policy of Ex- banding Operations
 Into Other Fields

Showing a total production of $3,500,000 in round figures, the AL aska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany in 1929 experienced the most remarkable in it's already notable history. Preliminary estimates for last years operations were made public today.
 The production was approximate ly $3o0,000 more than that of 1928. The net profit before depreciation was $1,100,000, or almost $200,000 larger than in 1928 when the net was $920,o00.
 Equals Whole Territory
 The local mines output for the year was virtually as large as that of all the other gold mines, in cluding lode, placer and dredging operations. in the entire Territory. The total production for the year was slightly in excess of s7,000 900. The tonnage trammed and that milled was larger slightly than in 1928. Last year there was trammed out of the mine 3,840000 tons as compared to 3.700.000 for the year previous. Of this quantity there was milled 100000 tons. some 2oo,- 900 more than in 1928.
 i Keeps Up Force 7 DeMa1g tIss year aEe iocal ftfse was maintained on an average of 665 men employed per day. The payroll, including bonus paid, for this force carried an expenditure of $1,35O,00o or about s100,000 more than in 1928
 The company's local expenditures were the largest since it was put on an operating basis, aggregating sl,900,000, including payroll expen- ses which formed the largest por- tion. The remaining went for pow der. lumber. supplies of various kinds, transportation. etc.
 ! A number of improvements and some minor adjustments were made around the plant. all aimed at greater perfection of recovery. The most important of these was tha addition of a Notation cell in taa mill. This is used in treating the waste tailings from the retreatmeu5 plant. Its operation, it was saia. proved to be very satisfactory.
 Enlarges Its Field
 The companys policy of expan- sion, through acquisition of other properties which were deemed suf- ficiently promising to justify devel- opment work, was pressed actively during the past year It has, with the Treadwell Yukon Company, &C., quired extensive holdings in the new Taku River mining district and is now engaged in exploratory work on fairly good scale. The first of these properties, the Manville Group, was obtained last July. Later to this was added by option to purchase the Sparling, Hill, Woodman-B -Berntsen, Walker. Ashby and Smith groups, totaling 54 claims in all, about 2,200 acres. The company, anticipating the need for cheap power, has applied for a license to use the water of Strong Creek. This is a good siz- cd stream about three miles from the Manville group. Streamflow l measurements are being made this winter and other data being ob- tained for use in hydro-electlc de- velopment.
