Mining in Alaska in 1886 Shows Increase, Large Sum Over '35

put was distributed between these types of mines in the proportion of about 38l9 to 61 %-$7 105,000 from lodes and $11,328,OO0 from placers. The corresponding proportion for the entire period in which gold mining has been in progress in AL aska has been about 35 to 65. The producing gold lodes are widely dis tributed through the Territory, but nearly 81 percent of the output in 1886 came from lodes in southeast ern 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 dis trict and the Nabesna district, in the Yukon region; the area near Valdez and adjacent parts of the Prince William Sound region; the Kenai Peninsula district; the Nixon Fork district, in the Kuskokwim re- zion; and the Bremner district, in the Copper River region.
 Hundreds of Camps
 Hundreds of camps contributed to the output of placer gold, but those in the Yukon Basin mined the great est amount, and those in Seward Peninsula came next. Nearly 79 per cent of the total placer production of the Territory was mined by dredges, of which 40 were active during 1936-19 in the Yukon Valley 20 in Seward Peninsula, and ir the Kuskokwim region Together these dredges produced gold to the value of $8,905, ,000. They are esti- mated to have handled about 14,- 632,000 cubic yards of gravel and the gold recovered averaged about cos cents cubic yard. Construc-

individual industrial plants. The best sites range from 5000 to 30,- 900 horsepower in capacity and can be very economically developed for year-round power supply.
 "The Federal Government is greatly interested in planning for Alaska, and the Territorial Legis- lature recently passed bill creat- ing a planning board of nine mem bers. As the Government owns 99 per cent of the resources, l don't think there will be any trouble in carrying out plans for the bet terment of the Territory.
 There is a vast stretch of coun- try ideal for raising reindeer, and this new livestock industry is grow ing rapidly. These deer furnish both food and clothing for the na- tives, and a market for reindeer meat has been established in the States. Gold mining and saltwater fishing are still big industries with us.
 Alaska is a real frontier, the last under the American flag. It has plenty of land to take care of the overflow population from the United States, the Territory being as large as the mainland east of the Mississippi and north of North Carolina.
 Olympic Peninsula, north of Grays Harbor, Washington, has pulp timber sufficient to sustain a perpetual large volume pulp op- eration. This district is in line for development in this direction"
 Development of agriculture in Alaska is of great importance from a standpoint of national defense. Matanuska Colony is start and plans are formulating for other agricultural colonies as part of a military defense program to supply the major part of subsistence for a permanent naval air base, which ultimately would require garrison of 10000 men.
 There are 29 sawmills in Alaska. Tn 1886 the timber cut under com mercial sales on the two forests was 32,912,000 feet, Tongass forest supplying 39,964,000 feet, Chugach forest 2,948,O00 feet.

ton of several additional dredges was begun during the year but not finished early enough to yield any notable amount of gold during the season Six dredges-three of which were new and three old dredges that had been reconstructed and moved to new sites-were active in 1935. Two dredges that were active in 1885 were idle in 1886.
 Silver Production
 None of the Alaska ores are mined solely for their content of silver. As in the past, most of the silver recovered in 1886 was minor constituent in the copper ores. The silver recovered from these copper ores amounted to 304,600 ounces, valued at $236,0OO. Some silver is ob- tained as a byproduct from the lodes in which the principal valuable me tai is gold, and some silver is also recovered from the bullion and dust produced from the gold placers. In 1886 silver to the value of about $93, ,000 came from the gold-lode mines and about $40,000 from the placer mines. The total output of silver (475,7 ounces) thus had a value of $369,000. The quantity of silver from both the gold-lode mines and the placers showed marked increase. The higher selling price in 1886, as well as the greater quan- | tity produced, made the value of the silver derived from all sources much more than in the preceding | year.
 Output of Copper
 The output of copper from Alaska mines in 1886 was more than double that in 1885. The large increase should not be considered a favorable sign, because the more rapid the extraction of the ore the sooner the known deposits will be exhausted Already the homogeneous of the principal copper mines have deter mined the presumable reserves of ore at their Alaskan properties, and from that knowledge they forecast only very short life ahead of any of the mines. The Alaska copper production in 1886 came from mines near Kennicott, in the Copper River region, together with smaller mines from whose ores copper is recovered as byproduct. These mines yielded 39, ,267 900 pounds of copper, having a value of S3,72O,OOO. Among the districts whose lode mines yield principally gold but which furnish ed concentrates from which some copper was obtained are the Ma besna district, of the Yukon region and the Ketchikan district, o1 southeast Alaska
 Lead
 The lead produced from Alaska ores in 1886 amounted to 2,116,OOC pounds, which at the average sell 1 ing price for the year was worth $99, ,500 Most of it was recovered as

Says Boake Carter

Why, then Is it that masses of people, never
theess, will enlist and go to war on some foreign
soil from time to time?
There is but one answer-the power Of public
opinion.
Most of us, if we are honest enough to admit
it, enlisted the last time not because we wanted
to but because every one else was enliSting. We
were afraid of public opinion. If any one did
buck it and attempted to reason instead Of emote,
we shouted, "slacker!"
No matter how we'll one may reason, how cold
and indisputable ones logic may be; no matter
how clearly one may paint the absurdities to
which mass hysteria may lead us, emotion and
public opinion are the stronger and fateful
factors.
It is this fact that is so well known to the
jingoes the statesmen and the cold-blooded
commercialists.
Reacts as Jingoes Wish
The question of war always involves from the
male viewpoint; challenge to his bravery; his
personal courage. This is an emotion against
which man finds it abnormally hard to battle
with merely reason as his weapon. The question
of war is never put up to the average citizen on
the basis: els he afraid to kill any one?" Oh,
no, the superpatriots put reverse English on it,
point the finger Of scorn and hoot "Is he afraid
of being killed? Is he coward?" That is an
emotional defy to any mans courage, and, being
human, he meets the challenge and thereby
reacts exactly as the jingoes would have him
react.
Life, after all, is built around our daily con-
facts. And public opinion can make life more
miserable at home than on the battlefield. How
will groups-such as these high-school boys-re
act when they see others joining up? Is this
young generation today harder headed, more
realistic than my generation. who were the youths
at the beginning of the World War? I don't
think so, regrettable thought that may be.

fought hard enough for our rights, and we won't
get anywhere until everybody gets together and
shows the United States Of America we won't be
still until we get the vote, even if we go to Jail
for it!
AS a matter of fact the Literary Digest made
a complete poll few years ago on the average
standard of intelligence in every city, and my
friends and critics will be glad to know that the
District Of ColuDtoa came out with top rating.
But apparently we have not used our intelli-
gence to obtain our natural rights. No city in

exist right here are far worse than those Of any

She would not!
Well, that is exactly what we are up against
today in our municipal housekeeping. We are
trying to live in peace, and take care of our
needy, but we are unable to have the final say
about anything.
Washington today is like woman with beau
tiful clothes and jewels, but underneath, un-
washed underwear and torn stockings.

fostering sores of our filthy slums only few
blocks apart! Yet we cannot even call in a
doctor to clean up these appalling conditions
