BOOSTING THE GOLD PRICE
Senator Elmer Thomas predicts another boost in
the price of gold, this time to $41.34 an ounce, and ex
pressed the belief it may occur in the near future. If
what $35.00 gold did to Alaska in reviving its mining
industry generally is a criterion, another boost should
brighten the North’s industrial future- James Wood’s
word picture in the Seattle Times is apropos. He says:
During 1935 Alaska produced minerals worth
$18,312,000, an increase of $1,591,000 over 1934.
Despite the encouragement of higher price, the
output of gold declined slightly. The major part
of the gain is in copper, which jumped from the
almost unprecedented low of $9,700 in 1934, to
$1,249,700 last year. There also were gains for
silver, lead, coal, platinum metals and tin. Since
1930 Alaska has produced minerals, mainly gold,
to an aggregate value of $698,628,000. Mr. Sew
ard, it will be remembered, paid Russia $7,200,000
for the whole Territory.
The fact that gold output declined is due primarily
to the fact that established operators worked low grade
ore bodies which they were unable to work under the
old price. Cheap ore can be mined at $35-00 but not at
$20.00 an ounce. The same may hold true if there is
another boost. The higher price is only an incentive
to boost the mining industry all along the line from the
prospector to the big operator, and the record reveals it
has done just that.
ALASKA AIR TRAVEL
Aircraft operations in the Territory for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1936, reflect a very definite up
grade trend of business in Alaska, according to informa
tion assembled by William A. Hesse, Highway Engi
neer. His report reveals that planes in Alaska travell
ed a combined distance of 2,130,929 miles, or more than
85 times the distance around the earth and carried 16,
982 passengers while the freight carried was more than
1,000 tons and mail 279,730 pounds.
There were 34 concerns engaged in business during
the year, using 79 planes.
While aircraft operations show increased business
everywhere, the most notable increase was that of the
Star Air Service at Anchorage, whose total volume of

business was double that of the previous year and equal
to the total business for the whole Territory in the year
ending June 30, 1930.
The report, as Mr. Hesse points out, not only shows
'.hat aviation in Alaska is making tremendous strides
but that other lines of business are moving rapidly a
head Plane companies would not be able to double
their freight and passenger haulage, unless there were
passengers and freight to haul. It reflects that mining
operations are at peak with manv new de /elopments,
for it is the airplane which today takes supplies to the
outlying spots that previously required weeks of slow
travel. It means that other business and industry is
going along at a merry clip.
It may well be interpreted to mean that Alaskans
as a class are the greatest airplane travelers in the
world in comparison with their number. But, primar
ily, it shows that everything done by way of promotion
and improvement of facilities for air travel in Alaska is
a step in development of the Territory, and, probably,
no single thing can have more beneficial results on Al
aska as a whole.—Daily Alaska Empire.
Court hold that nobody owns the air. Nobody will
want to own it after the political spellbinders get thru
with it between now and the fall election.
