 Minerals Lead Advance
 The mineral world led the way ir the big advance, with gold exports showing 64.5 percent gain, silver 326 and copper 16,937 percent. The tremendous jump in the latter is as- cribed to the reopening of Kenne- colt, but it is figured only on four months production.

 From 1883 through 1885, all other exports from the Territory gained 117.3 percent.

ALASKA EXPORT
 VALUES CHANGE. ,~LlTTLE IN 1885
Shipments to States Hold Up Despite Big Cut
 in Fishing

Exports from Alaska to the Unit ed States during 1885 will probably approximately equal those of the previous year, according to re- port on ten months transactions just issued by Collector of Customs James J. Connors.
 The report, lacking figures for November and December, shows a grand total value of shipments of $45, ,782,363 This is $15,211 1888 be- low the total of $6O,994,251 for the entire year of 1884 Numerous large items are to be added to the total for this year, including ap- proximately $1 OOO,OO for furs sent by mail and seal skins from the Pribilof Islands.
 Silver Export
 The rise in the price of silver accounted for the export of $l47,- 724 worth of the white metal from Alaska during the past 365 days, as against only $5l,4 ,424 for the previous year. Gold exports give indications of running above last years high, with $12,781 1884 worth sent south during the first ten months of the past year.
 Fish Values
 A substantial cut in the export values of fish this year was ac- counted for by the closing of the Bristol Bay area, as well as by iishermen's strikes. The total fish products value for 1884 was $40,- 834,896, while, for the ten-month period studied in the current re- port, it totalled only $29, 9,085 ,659.
 However, the value of fresh and frozen fish increased by s44, ,260, while cured and preserved cod, her ring and salmon gained by $795,51e.

Tonnage to Be Taken from Perseverance Ground
 During Coming Year
$1,737,000 CROSSED
 BY MINE LAST YEAR
Lower Salmon Creek Power Project to Be Complet- ed Early Next Fall

With prospects for the new year bright, the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company closed 1885 with gross estimated Juneau profit (before depreciation or depletion) of $1,737,00 revealing a favorable gain over preceding years, accord ing to the annual statement of L. H. Metzgar, General Superintend- ent, released today.
 While we are working and plan | to continue working low grade ore. the prospect for the new year is encouraging. Mir. Metzgar said He explained that the higher price Ipi solas. lqes'' ies which were not profitable under the old price of $20.67
 Local expenditures including pay roll by the mine company totaled $1,847,000 and employment was giv- en to 901 men. Total tonnage mined was 3,731 .O00; total tonnage milled 2,093, ,000, and total tonnage coarse waste 1,638000. The gross recovery was valued at $4,070.000.
 Tn explaining the operations of the company during the year just ended, Mir Metzgar said: Perseverance Tonnage in 1886
 Tn the mine most of the devel- opment work was done in entering and exploring the lower and western part of the old Perseverance Mine As result of this program, an ap- preciabIe tonnage will come from the Perseverance groundIwithin the coming year
 Advance in mine headings such as drifts, crosscuts and raises, mounted to 13,500 feet or more than two miles. Tn the Persever- ance development, 4,000 feet of workings were driven.
 Tn the mill the existing flota- ton plant was expanded after sev- 1 ,ral months of experimental work. The new equipment included one five-cell and one ten-cell Kraut flotation units, two tube mills and two Dorr classifiers. filters and pumps.
 Power Project
 This refinement of the old flow sheet, by which waste material is made to yield small profit, is made possible by the present price for gold, namely $35 per ounce.
 "The Lower Salmon Creek power project. including the building oI two miles of Hume and reconstruc- tion of the power house. was 40 per cent completed; 1t should all be completed early next fall. During the year. coarse waste disposal by dumping loaded barges at sea was inaugurated. For this purpose three six hundred ton. self dumping reversible barges and one seventy-two foot. PTS horsepower diesel powered sea-going tugboat were placed in commission The total capital outlay for this equip ment amounted to over $l00O00."
