Can
Supply norsemen
With Much Coal

Spitzbergen, says the Norwegian
mining expert Aasgaard, can sup
ply at least a million tons Of coal
a year without difficulty. The
seams are rich, and the coal,
although small, Is of very good
quality with high heating value.
Increased production, however, is
only possible IL a powerful ice
breaker can be provided so that
the shipping season can be en-
tended.
Last year some 450.0o0 tons
were shipped from the Norwegian
mines there are also Russian

almost total destruction of the
mines during the war. II is plan.

HERBERT HOOVER EXPLAINS THE
STATE OF THE MINING INDUSTRY

In a statement prepared for Burt B. Brewster S
Mining Review Herbert Hoover tells the state of the
non-ferrous mining industry in the Pacific and Noun
tain States.
Because the conditions to which Mr., Hoover points
his statement pertain pertinently to Alaskas min
ing industry reprint it here.
Gold production, at time one of Alaska S
greatest resources, has fallen from about % million
dollars worth in 1s41 to under million dollars in
1e4s. The difficulties surrounding gold mining in
Alaska are similar to those outlined in Mr.. Hoovers
statement.
And no town in Alaska is aware of the in
jury resulting from the closing of mines than is
Juneau, with its great Alaska Juneau mine
imperative since 1914.
Here is Herbert Hoover's statement from The
Mining Review:
The number of non-ferrous metal mines in the
Mountain and Pacific States has decreased from about
900 in 1885 to 1890 in l949.
This is appalling degeneration in vital part
of the national economy
The reasons for this degeneration common
knowledge to the whole industry. In the main they
l. A considerable part of this degeneration has
been national expenditure taxation and
controls which undermine the supply of venture capital
and adventure enterprise in the nation a whole
The effect of these forces is violent to the
non FERROUS mining industry than to any other
2. The whole structure of the industry is ignored
by the powers that be- In the long view and in its
totals this industry is losing business. That is the
total OF equipment, technical staff labor and
supplies put into it Is than the total value of the
output. It is kept going because it is jackpot in
dustry where the occasional winner keeps people
working at it. 1t is, therefore industry of the
utmost venture type.
3. The structure of the industry is roughly in
three parts.
First, is the prospector who makes the original
find. He must spend infinite hardship, time and
