Hundreds of camps contributed
to the output of placer gold, but
those in the Yukon Basin mined
the greatest amount, and those in
Seward Peninsula came next.
Over 79 percent of the total pla
cer production of the Territory
was mined by dredges, of which
37 were active during 1935—16 in
the Yukon Valley, 19 in Seward
Peninsula, and 2 in the Kusko
kwim region. Together these
dredges produced gold to the
value of $7,701,000. They are es
timated to have handled about
12,930,000 cubic yards of gravel
and the gold recovered was
worth about 59.S cents a cubic
yard. Construction of four addi
tional dredges was begun dur
ing the year but not finished
early enough to yield any notable
amount of gold during the sea
son. Six dredges, some of which
had been idle for several years,
were again active in 1935. One
dredge that was active in 1934
was idle in 1935.
None of the Alaska ores are
mined solely for their silver con
tent. In the past most of the sil
ver has been recovered as a min
or constituent from the copper

ores. The revival of production
in 1935 at the great copper mines
which had been idle for most of
the preceding ’ years, therefore
had a marked effect in increasing
the production of silver. The sil
ver recovered from these copper
ores amounted to 134,400 ounces,
valued at $96,600. Some silver is
obtained as a byproduct from the
lodes in which the principal val
uable metal is gold, and some
silver is also recovered from the
bullion and dust produced from
the gold placers. In 1935 silver
to the value of about $76,600
came from the gold-lode mines
and about $32,800 from the placer
mines. The total output of silver
(286.600 ounces) thus had i value
of $206,000. The quantity of sil
ver from the gold-lode mines
showed a slight decrease from
1934, but that from the placers
showed a marked increase
