The estimated gold value is calculated at the old price of S20.67 an ounce for compara- tive purposes, but the premium on newly mined gold increases the value of the output as in- dicated by about $598,OOO.
 The estimated production of gold, $10,758,0OO, is notable increase over 1882, when the actual output at the old price was S1O,2O9,OO0. There was an apparent decrease of $780, 900 in the placer gold output as compared with 1882, but was more than offset by an ;n- crease of $729,00O in lode production. Nearly four-fif .h5 of the placer gold was recov- cred by dredges. The esti- mated placer production was $5, ,342,000 on the basis of S20.- 67 an ounce but the amount actually received by the miners was considerably in excess of this figure.
 Copper production, once the most important item in Alaskan mineral production, was so small that no separate figures are given. The decline is at tributed to low copper prices and closing of the Kennecott mines.

Says Big Missouri
 Operations Successful

The Canadian Mirror, prom inent Eastern Canada mining journal, says in a recent issue that work on the Big Missouri is being carried on in both a northerly and southerly direct ion. Five hundred feet has been driven southerly and about 300 feet northerly. In the south, the drift has a con- siderable distance to go before reaching its objective. Work in the north drift is reported as meeting with some success. The Big Missouri Company was also reported active on it's New ada properties, with a view to shipping ore to the Salt Lake smelter.

SILVER GROUP PLANS TO FORCE, 16-TO-1
 REMUNERATION

A group of Western Senators is preparing to force further action in behalf of silver re- monetization by means of a rider attached to the admins tration's bill providing for de- valuation of the dollar, ac- cording to radio broadcasts last Sunday.
 The so-called gold bill, pro- viding for a reduction of the gold value of the dollar, was approved by a large majority in the lower house of Congress last week and is now awaiting Senate action. AS passed by the House, the measure was in practically the same form as submitted by the Treasury.
 Senator Wheeler, author of the 16-to-1 silver remonetiza- ton bill now before Congress, is leading the new effort to fix silver on a definite parity with gold and will endeavor to have the 16-to-1 feature attached to the gold bill, unless President Roosevelt signifies an intention to go beyond the provisions of his recent proclamation ratify- ing the London agreement for increased use of silver as mon- ey and fixing a value of 64R cents per ounce for new dom- estic mined silver.
 As there is no apparent indi- cation that the President in- tends to go further in that di- rection, the effort to force act ion by attaching silver rider to the gold bill will probably develop, as planned by the Western advocates.

RENEWAL OF WORK
 ON HERCULES PLANNED

Hercules Mines, Ltd, owner of the Hercules group in the upper Salmon basin north of and adjoining the Big Missouri property, is planning renew al of development operations, according to reports from Van couver,aR
 The property is one of the best known groups in the upper Salmon area and comprises five crown-granted claims which are traversed by the same mineralized zone found on the Big Missouri, Unicorn and other properties as far south as the Premier mine. The zone is said to have been traced for 1700 feet and is strongly mineralized. Earlier explora- tion disclosed values in gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper. Values at that time averaged $34 a ton in all metals. Assays showing as high as 45 ounces of gold and 8.25 ounces of silver were obtained.
 One lead is known to be 35 feet in width on the surface. Some 200 feet of tunnel work was done before operations were discontinued several years ago.
 The company was capitalized originally at S1,OOO,O0O in $1 shares, of which 623,751 had been issued at the time of sus- pension.
 Officers of the company are Albert T. Craig, President; George E. Housser, vice-presi- dent; F. M. Mcleod, secretary. Col. J. E. Leckie is general manager. Financing for the new development is in the hands of A. M. Howell and as- sociates.

CONSOLIDATED TAKES
 SALMON GOLD GROUP

The taking over of the Sal mon Gold property in the up- per Salmon basin by the Con- solidated Mining and Smelling Company was officially an- nounced this week in Vancou- yer.
 Rumors that the property would probably be taken over by a big operating company have been in circulation for several weeks. The Consoli- dated was mentioned as the probable successor of the Sal mon Gold Mines Ltd, present owner of the group, but defi- nite announcement was lacking until the present.
 The announcement, issued by the Salmon Gold Company stated in substance that a work ing agreement with Consoli- dated had been signed and an- nouncement of the details would be made within 30 days. or as soon as the proposal had been ratified by the share holders of the company at meeting which had been called for that purpose.
 The acquisition of this high ly promising gold property by the great Canadian company which is also developng the Bg Missouri property through it's subsidiary, the Buena Vista Mining Company, is an event of outstanding importance to the district, as it probably means that the Salmon Gold will be speedily and thoroughly explored and given every op- portunity to prove it's value as a commercial operation.
 The property consists of 37 claims, located on the west side of Summit Lake several miles north of the Big Missouri and apparently on the same gold bearing zone as the latter property. Preliminary devel- opment by the original locat- ors, Ted Morris and associates, during the past two years have exposed four gold-bearing veins, averaging 512 feet wide in the smaller veins and II feet on the main vein. The average value of the ores exposed was announced officially as S22.5 with gold at $30 per ounce.
