Report Mining
Alaska Good For
The Year 1936
(Continued from Yesterday)
The lead produced from Alas
ka ores in 1936 amounted to 2.
116.000 pounds, which at the av
erage selling price for the year
was worth S99.500. Most of it was
recovered as a by-product in con
nection with the mining of gold
ores in southeastern Alaska. The
quantity of lead was about 486,
000 pounds more than in 1935. and
the average price of lead was 4.7
cents a pound, or 0.7 cents high
er than in that year, so that both
the value and the quantity of the
.liput in 1936 was considerably
greater.
C al ' the value of $573,000
w, ; produced in 1936 from Alas
ka mines, principally in the Mata
■ uska and Healy River fields. In
quant.iy the output of coal was
136,600 tons, which is the largest
amount of coal produced by Al
.'ka mines in any year since coal
mining has been in progress in
me territory. No Alaska coal
w; s exported, but 27.643 te ns
was imported from the states,
chiefly from Washington, and 11,

tht*. the total consumption of coal
in Alaska in 1936 amounted to
about 17.949 tons. No notable new
developments were recorded in
the Alaska coal industry during
the year. That coal deposits are
widely distributed through the
territory is well known, as well
as the fact that many of them
contain coal of high rank. The
main problem that the Alaska
coal industry fates is to find or
develop markets for its product.
Attempts to open new markets
n Alaska for the local coals are
meeting success as mining and gen
oral industry develop, but the
growth is slow.
The principal mineral commod
ity that is included under the
heading "Miscellaneous Mineral
Products" in the foregoing tables
is the group comprising platinum
and the platinum metals. A groat
many differnt metals are includ
ed under the term platinum met
als. including platinum, iridium,
osmium, ruthenium and pallad
ium. The total quantity’ of this
composite material produced
from Alaska mines in 1936 was
5.654 fine ounces, valued at S241.
9U0. By far the greater part of
these metals came from placers
in the Good News Bay district
and the lode mines in Kasaan pen
insula. These lode mines suppl.ei
considerable quantities of pall
dium. Included also in the misc
ellaneous group is the tin ore
produced mainly from placers in
'he western part of Seward Fe.
insula. These and other Alaska
drpasi's in 1936 yielded more t 1
than during any other year since
1916: this production has been
exceeded in only two years since
1902. when tin mining started in
A. a-ha. No petroleum was pro
duced in Alaska in 1936. though
some new drilling for oil was
done on the Alaska peninsula :
the Iniskin-Chimtna district. The
marble quarries in southeastern
Alaska which have long been con
sistent producers of stone that is
i much in demand on the Pacific
.coast for interior trim, were tem
porarily inactive in 1936. Lime
stone from quarries on Dali is
land. in the Ketchikan district of
southeastern Alaska, was shipped
to the states for use as a constit
uent in the production of cement.
Some quicksilver ore was m: .ed
in the Kuskokwim region, and
revival of development in that
farea was in progress.
The foregoing notes are taken
from a comprehensive report of
.the United States Geologica: Sur
jvey, entitled "Mineral Industry
of Alaska in 1936", prepared by
Philip S. Ssmith which will form
: one of the series of similar re
! ports that the Geological Survey
has issued to describe the progress
of Alaska mining each year since
1904.
