tributed through the Territory, but nearly TO percent of the output came from lodes in southeastern Alaska, where accessibility to deep-water routes of communication and other favorable conditions have permitted the successful mining of immense tonnages of loW-grade gold ore. The other lode-gold producing districts of Alaska were the Willow Creek district, in the Cook Inlet-Susitna region; the Fairbanks district, in the Yukon region; and scattered mines
 in the Nabesna district of the

MISCELLANEOUS

The principal mineral commodity that is included under the heading miscellaneous mineral products, in the foregoing table is the group comprising platinum and the plat mum metals, There was a very great increase in the output of these valuable metals from the GoodneWs Bay district in 1884, and the resump ton of mining in the Kasaan Pen insula resulted in supplying con- siderable quantities of palladium. No petroleum was produced in AL aska in 1884, and the marble and limestone quarries were also inact- i've Some quicksilver ore was min ed in the KuskokWim region, and revival of development in that area Was in progress,
 The foregoing notes are taken from a comprehensive report of the United States Geological Survey, entitled Mineral Industry of Alas ka in l934', which was prepared by Philip s. Smith and will form one of the series of similar reports that the Geological Survey has is sued to describe the progress of AL aska mining each year since 1904,

the mining of gold ores in south eastern Alaska. The quantity of lead was some 635,000 pounds less than in 1933. The average price of lead in 1884 was 3.7 cents a pound, or the same as in 1883,
 COAL
 Coal to the value of $45l, ,OOO was produced in 1884 from Alaska min es, principally in the Matanuska and Healy River fields. No Alaska coal IS exported, but 28,317 tons was imported from the states, chiefly from Washington and 14,675 tons from foreign countries, chiefly from British Columbia So that the total consumption of coal in Alaska in 1884 amounted to about l50,500 tons. No notable new developments were recorded in the Alaska coal industry during the year. The mine that was accidentally flooded late in 1883 remained out of commission thru out the year. Attempts to open new markets in Alaska for the local coals are meeting success as develop ments take place both in mining and in general industry
