PUBLIC DEMAND INCREASES GOVT.
 EXPENDITURES

Demand by the people for lfi- creased services from the govern ment can be blamed for increased government expenditures and grow ing numbers of government em- ployees.
 This was brought out by Dr. l. J. Montgomery, supervisor of the AL aska Merit System, when he spoke at the meeting of the Juneau Par ent Teacher Association last night on the subject of Public Service as a Career"
 He pointed out that the day Of least government, the best IS passed as complex modern society demands protection of it's health and welfare from the local and national governments.
 Dr. Montgomery told parents that careers await their children in gov ernment service in nearly any field thev wish to choose.
 Pointing out s.le advantages of public service as a career, he said that it requires no capital and pays

GOLD DROPS 11%; GOAL OUTPUT UP
 BUT VALUE FALLS

Although gold continued as the greatest valued commodity mined in Alaska during 1949, lower pro- duction-for the second consecu- tive year-was largely responsible for an overall decline in mineral value output in the Territory dur ing the year,
 These figures were released today by Alfred L. Ransome of the Ju- neau office of the Federal Bureau of Mines.
 Total mineral value was $11,- 355,Oo0 compared with the 1948 figure of S13028,OOO. Troy ounces of gold amounted to 220,903. valued at s7,731, ,6O5, compared to the pre- vious years 24S,395 ounces, valued at s8,693.8 1925.
 Coal ranked second to gold in value of output, and platinum rose in importance to exceed the output of 194S. Silver amounted to only a little more than half, and lead only one fifth of 1948 production, Ram some said.
 Copper-nowadays entirely a by product from other ores-remained minor. Production of tin was small but substantially above the 1948 level.
 Coal produced-all of which IS used in the Territory-wa 430,O00 sons, valued at s2,2O5, 900, compared to 4C8,OO0 tons last year, valued at S2,79O,0 900. Higher prices in 1948 accounted for the higher value of less production that year. Most same rom Nenana and Mataruska.
 PRICE, HOLDS BACK
 The II percent decree in gold pro- duction-95 percent of which came from placer mines near Fairbanks and Nome-is based on shelter and mint receipts for 10 months and estimated for November and De- cember. Although labor supply is Letter than at any time since tie war, the narrowing margin between high operating costs and the $35 a fine ounce price set officially, was not conducive to operation of any but more efficient enterprises, Ransome said.
 Natural" gold continued to be sold on the open market for from B to $5 more than the official price, but the amount involved during 1949 is not known. In 1948, l8,OOO fine ounces of natural gold were sold.
 Silver's production of 36,230 was a 46 percent decrease from l948 figures, and was largely the by product of gold mining, principally .ucket- line dredges in the Fair banks area. Some comes from lead mining, carried on in the Hyder district of Southeast Alaska.
 Hyder accounted for almost all cad produced this year, as last.

 He said such jobs, filled through competitive examinations, offer life time careers rather than stop-gap employment for young people.
 Merit System Expansion
 The Alaska Merit System covers three Territorial agencies: the De- partment of Health, Department of Public Welfare, and Employ ment Security Commission.

WEATHER CAUSES
 LOW FUR TAKE,
 SAYS FWS HEAD

A "very low" take of furs in Southeast Alaska is estimated by Dan H. Ralston, acting head of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Ral- ston made this estimate today fol- lowing closure of the trapping sea- son on Sunday.
 Trappers throughout the Terri tory were not figured to have taken many pelts this season, he said, mainly because of weather condi- tions having frozen bays and in lets which lead into trapping areas.
 The season lasts from December 16 to January 15.
 Last official figures available in the Wildlife Service offices are for last season, when the Juneau area accounted for more than 5 percent of all mink taken in AL aska, 4 percent of all otter and more than percent of all weasel.
 Prince of Wales Island holds the top mink score, Wltn zz percent accounted for there. Petersburg area follows closely, with IA percent from that district. W
 The Juneau district embraces all the mainland north to Skagway and west to Yakutat.
 Fur animals in the Southeast dis trict are mink, weasel, land otter, few fox and lynx. Land otter values have dropped off consider ably, Ralston said.
 Approximately 1,500 trappers work the Southeast Alaska area, it is estimated, not counting na- tives, who are not required to take out licenses. Some 5000 licenses are issued throughout the Territory.
