cred as a by-product of copper and god mining. The Alaska copper ores, though low in silver, have in the aggregate a notable amount of the metal. The amount of silver de- rived from that source naturally huc- tuates with the demand for copper, and the closing of important copper mines in 1883 is reflected in a de- crease in the silver output. Next in importance to copper ore as 8 source of silver have been the gold lode ores, particularly those of the Alaska Ju- neau mines, and the increased o1dg and silver output of tha, ie 1883 ? Fart offsett the loe a Ehe ~epIser mine.
 There are a numbel as n Alaska in which lodes eA sly valu- able for their silver are known to exist, and any decided increase in tIie price or silver will be reffcted in in- creased interest in silver lodas. Ac- tive development is said to ba in pro- gress at present on a silvsr-lead lode in the Kantishna district that has in the past yielded 9 considerable ton mage Of rich ore
 Coal.
 The output of Alaska coal mines in 1883 is estimated to have been about 100000 tons, or practically the same as 1932. Practically all the coal produced came from mines in the Matanuska valley and the iealy river basin. The two principal pro- ducing mines in the Matanuska field were the Evan Jones mine and the Premier mine, t hough some coal was taken from the Wishbone Hill mine.
 Other Minerals.
 Tn addition the mineral products listed in the table presented here with, there are others shipped from Alaska each year, the aggregate value of which is considerable, but which in dividually were not produced in large amounts in 1888. The value of these minerals which include for 1888. lead, tin. platinum, copper quicksilver, and limestone, is here grouped under a single heading, together with pc troleun1, which is produced by sin gle company.

island, important producers for many years, were operated somewhat less ,4c..vely than in 1882. The Willow Creek districtt, north. of Anchorage. maintained its place as an important lode mining center. The main pro- duction there came from the Lucky Shot mine, the property of the Willow Greek Mines, Ltd. During the sum- 4..er this company was actively en- gagged ln reopening its adjoining
 .sar Bay Mine. the ore from winch in this district were in part time op- e4ation. Lode mining in the Fair banks district was continued on about the same scale as in 1882. Though increasing interest was shown in properties on both Ester and Pedro Domes, and plans were afoot to de veiop ioaes that had not hithertto been mined. Active mining was ros- ecuted at the property of the Nabesna Mining Company, on the Upper Ma besna river, and this recently devel- oped lode mine continued to be an in'- portant producer. Other scattered lode mines that yielded some gold ,n- clude that of the Eva Creek Mining Company, near Ferry, the Mespelt Mine, on the Nixon Fork of the Kus- kokwim river, and the Sunny Fox Mine, ln the Nuka Bay district. Ac- tive developments were, however, in proogress at numerous other -lodes, some of which are expected to come into production in 1884.
 Alaska placer mines are estimated to have produced gold valued at s5,342,- coo in 1883, calculated on the oold basis of $20.67 an ounce. The actual amount received by the miners under the premium offered by newly mined gold by the Treasury was consider ably in excess. of the figure here here given. This is 8 slight decrease over the amount of placer gold recov- ere din 1882, due to an unusually dry season, which restricted the produc- tion ofmany mines. Much the greater part of the output came from the Yukon region, Seward Peninsula took second place, and the remainder came from widely restricted mining re- gions, in. the following order of inn portance: Cook Inlet--Susitna Copper River, Kuskokwim, North western Alaska, and Southeastern 
 With the exhaustion of. the richer bonanza placers in Alaska the ten dency has been to exploit. lower grade ore by mechanical means, and for many such deposits the gold dredge has been found to be the most econ onicaa device. In 1883 about 80 per cent of the placer gold was recovered bly, dredges, of which 28 were in op- eration for at least part of the open season ! The. Fairbanks district was much the largest producer, with Sew ard Peninsula second. Other areas in which gold dredging was carried on incude the Iditarod, Inn Q, Kus- kokwim, and Yentna districts.
 Cooper.
 The alue of the annual production of copper from Alaska has for many years been an important item in the annual statement of the mineral out put of the Territory. in 1916 it amounted to $28,483, ,2e1, and between that year and 1880 1t never fell below 54,000,OO0. As a result of the low price for copper in 1931 the output fell to less than $z,eoe,00O, and in 1882 to little more than $5OO,G ,GOO. In 1883.

 In the Mother Igloo here is an interesting collection of articles, all old and all donated to the lodge. One of the prize posses sions Is piano which has been in the territory since 1897 and which according to good authority is over hundred years old, be- ing made in Paris in or before 1925. The piano was brought to Sheep's Camp 37 years ago, stayed there one winter, then was taken to Dawson, down the Yukon to St Michael and thence to Nome. The instrument is small, made of solid Mahogany, it's keys are yel. low and clipped, and it is, of course, beyond all use as mus teal instrument today.

FEATURE ON ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
 By Louise Harlan

Tn the spring of '9S, when thou sands of gold seekers were mak- ing history by their concerted rush to Dawson in the Yukon Territory, the steamer Seattle was on her way to Skagway with a boat-load of hardy pioneers who were determined to cross the Chilcoot Pass or die in the at tempt It was on this steamer that the Arctic Brotherhood, a secret and fraternal organization, was formed by the. passengers on board. They were all going to d new land, and none knew wha; would befall them, thus they bound themselves together in q brotherhood of the North.
 Tn those days there was great dispute over the Canadian-Alaskd boundary line, and although there was no actual war concerning the matter, there was considerable bitterness and i'll will between the two lands. However, the Arctic Brotherhood was made up of Am ericans, Canadians, and Britishers

 The. first Big Chief of the club was Albert Fink, a prominent law year to whom the organization owes very much. One of the hon orary members was Captain E.. w. Johnston, who gave many logs for the cabin.
 The Eni was great factor in promoting the Alaska sweepstakes, and it also sponsored the Nome Kennel Club, which was seperate organization For many years the members of the Eni enjoyed the priveleges of the Log Cabin, but finally the expenses became too great for the diminishing number of members and the club became inactive.

 During the IS years after it's founding, the organization enjoyed it's greatest prosperity and growth Every important town in Alaska and the Yukon Territory had Lodge, or camp of the Arctic Brotherhood. For many years there was yearly session of the grand camp, held in Seattle.
 When the gold rushes were oyef and, many of the members of the lodge returned to the States, the population of the towns diminish' ed greatly, and there were no longer enough members to keel each camp cative. One by one they closed their doors, until only CamF Number Nine at Nome remainea open.
