General Conditions

The increase in the value of the output of minerals from Alaska in 1936 reflected in measure the i'm proyement in the general business conditions of the whole country, but many other causes contributed to swell or reduce the output of the individual commodities. The prices al which most of the metals other than gold were sold in 1886 appear to have been higher than in 1885, However, these variations in prices affected the total value of the out put to only a minor degree, for gold made Up nearly 7S percent of the total, and it's price remained con stant in the two years.

Silver

No Alaska ores are mined solely for their silver content, but con- silver is recovered each year as a by-product from ores and

Other Minerals

Several other mineral products came from Alaska mines in 1886. Of these the group of platinum
 metals added most to the value of the mineral output of the Territory.

Placer Recovery

Of the gold won from placers more than IS percent was recovered by dredges; the remainder was re- covered by hydraulic methods, by the use of mechanical scrapers, or by the more primatiYe and simpler methods of ground slulcing and sho- yelling the gold-bearing gravel into sliuce boxes by hand. Forty dredges (20 in the Seward Peninsula re- zion, Is in the Yukon region, and ? in the Kuskokwim region) were active throughout more or less of the open season. Several new dredges was in course of delivery tion during the year but were not completed in time to run more than few shifts, and material for other dredges was in course of delivesy so late in the season that the erection will not be completed until 1887.

Gold Production

The gold produced in Alaska in 1886 is estimated to have been worth $18,146,000, at the current price of $35 fine ounce. This val ue exceeds that for the production of any other year subsequent to 1909 and has been exceeded by that of only 1 years during the whole period that gold mining has been in progress in Alaska-namely dur ing the golden years of 1906 to 1909 inclusive, when the average value of the gold mined was about $20,273,- 900 a year. In this comparison, however, it should be remembered that in all the preceding years eX- cept 1894 and 1885 the established price of gold was $20.67 an ounce, so that the new price is about 69 percent greater than the old price
 The total value of the gold pro- duced in Alaska from the beginning of productive mining in 1880 to date is estimated as nearly S469, 100000
 Gold in Alaska comes from two distinctly different types of depos- its-placers and lodes. In the pla- cers the gold is recovered from gray el or other unconsolidated deposits; in the lodes it occurs in the solid rock or vein matter. In 1886 the proportion of gold produced from deposits of these two types is es- timated to have been about 1 to S9

Labor Difficulties

Labor difficulties flared up at intervals and at several places throughout the year, causing at times complete cessation of mining at certain properties. The water front strike that threatened to tie up all Pacific Coast shipping to AL aska and elsewhere at the end of September, and that actually went into effect late in October, probably decreased production for the current year and hindered the shipment of supplies and equipment needed by many of the properties for the com ing season.
 The climauc conditions that af- feet certain types of mining, such as length of open season and abun- dance of water from rainfall and run-off. seem to have been unusual ly favorable throughout most of the Territory. Many enterprises that had been started in preceding years were brought into production and by their success well justified the op- erators5 outlays. Many entirely new enterprises were put under way, and some of them were completed dur ing the year, but others will not be- gin to pay back on their costs for another year or more. These new en- terprises were not limited to any one type but included large as well as small ventures, though most of them naturally pertained to gold rather than to other metals.

Unit Price

The large increase in the output of all these ores and materials all ready noted accounts for the very large increase in the output of sil- yer also The value of this silver production has been set as $360.000 based on a price of 77 cents an ounce. which, according to the Blu reau of the Mint is the price set by Executive Order for newly mined domestic silver that qualities under the stipulations set by Congress-
 This unit price is considerably above that paid in ordinary trade for sil- yer that is not eligible under those requirements. Such silver according to the Engineering and Mining Journal brought only an average price of 45 cents an ounce in 193b.

Of these materials the copper ores contained the largest amount of silver. estimated as about two thirds of the total output, and the lode-gold ores and the gold from the placers each accounted for roughly one-sixth of the silver out put of the Territory for that year
