Has His Pick
Mrs. M. W. writes:—"A doctor
who recently located in our street
has three handsome children. The
other day I heard my neighbor's
little girl say to her playmate,
‘Those pretty children over there
are the doctor's.”
“Yes. I know”, said the other
little girl, "he brings lots of ba
bies and he keeps the best for
hmself."
The Perfect Method
Jim—Alice might marry you if
you propose to her correctly.
Fred—How had I better do it?
Jim—S:t on the edge of the

her off .f she doesn't say ‘yes’.
' That's Relativity"
Many of us are slow on posting

cause .vt haven’t yet got a clear
idea of his first one.
A western professor can heip
us in this respect.
"When a man holds a pretty
grl on his lap for an hour it seems
like a minute. But when he sits
on a hot stove a minute, it seems
to him like an hour. That's rela
tivity.”

ary spurt that would soon sub
side. All indications point to the
conclusion that production at this
rate can be maintained or ever
bettered in succeeding years.
The output of gold from Alas
ka comes from both lode (hard
rock) and placer mines. In 19
36 this output was distributed be
tween these types of mines in the
proportion of about 38'2 to 62^
—$7,150,000 from lodes and $11,
328,000 from placers. The cor
responding proportion for the
entire period :n which gold min
ing has been in progress in Al
aska has been about 35 to 65. The
producing grid lodes are widely
distributed through the Terri
tory. but nearly 81 percent of the
output in 1936 came from lodes
in southeastern Alaska, where ac
cessibility to deep-water routes
. communication and other lav
orabk conditions have permitt
ed the successful mining of im
merse tonnages of low-grade
ill ore. Tiie other lode-gold
:,,:g districts of Alaska

C k In et-Susit a region;
• F r . , o1 and the

t part Pi nee Wil
. ..m S. o .l regions; the Kenai
Peninsula d.strict; the Nixon
Fork district, in the Kuskokwim
region: and the Brenmer district
n the Copper River region.
Hundreds of camps contributed
to the output of placer gold, but
those in the Yukon basin mined
■he greatest amount and those in
Seward Peninsula came next.
Near.y 79 percent of the total
placer production of the territory
was mined by dredges of which
40 were active during 1936—19
in the Yukon valley, 20 in Seward
Peninsula and one in the Kusko
kwim region. Together these dred
ges produced to the value of $8.
905.000. They are estimated to
have handled about 14,632,000
cubic yards of gravel and the
gold recovered averaged about
60.9 cents a cubic yard. Construe
tion of several additional dredg
es was begun during the year
but not finished early enough to
yield any notable amount of gold
during the season. Six dredges—
thTee of which were new and
three old dredges -that had been
reconstructed and moved to new
sites—were actives in 1936. Two
dredges that were active in 1935
were idle in 1936.
None of the Alaska ores are
f mined solely for their content of
silver. As in the past, most of
the silver recovered in 1936 was
a minor constituent in the cop
per ores. The silver recovered
from these copper ores amounted
to 304,600 ounces, valued at $236,
000. Some silver is obtained as a
by-product from the lodes in
which the principal metal is gold,
and some silver is also recovered
from hte bullion and dust pro
duced from the gold placers. In
1936 silver to the value of about
$93,000 came from the gold-lode
I mines and about $40,000 from the
i placer mines. The total output of
silver $475,700 ounces) thus had
a value of $369,000. The quantity
of silver from both the gold-lode
mines and the placers showed a
marked increase. The higher sell
ing price in 1936, as well as the
greater quantity produced, made
the value of, silver derived from
all sources much more than in
the preceding year.
