MINERAL RESOURCES OF ALASKA
? r j i i
The report of the United States;
Geological Survey on the progress of
investigations of mineral resources in
Alaska in 1908 forms a volume of,
over 400 pages and has Just been is
sued by the Survey as Bulletin 379. j
It comprises 19 different papers by
15 authors on the mining industry and
allied subjects, covering many parts
of the territory. It Is illustrated by
numerous maps and diagrams and j
and forms a valuable record of the 1
year's developments in what is at
present the most important industry
in Alaska.
A summary of the mining industry,
during 1908. by A. H. Brooks, who
has charge of the Alaskan work of
the Survey, is one of the papers in ;
this bulletin. Mr. Brooks states that l
in some ways the industry showed ;
WHIT THE KIDNEYS DO
Th?lr Unceasing Work Keeps Us!
Strong and Healthy. ^
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains I
of impure matter daily, when un 1
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur is left in the blood. This brings'
on many diseases and symptoms ? i
pain in the back, headache, nervous- j
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, |
gravel, disordors of the eyesight and |
tearing, dizziness irregular heart,'
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ir the urine, etc. But if you keep the
fillers right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
\V. A. Hawkins. 669 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives mi
pleasure to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered]
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief. j
1 had the most severe paius across |
the small of my back and was alsol
annoyed by irregular passages of the i
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped me at once and continue j
use entirely relieved me. I am a j
jrreat advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on |
many occasions."

a distinct decline as compared with
the previous year, but that this was
due iu part to the financial panic and
in part to certain conditions that can
be remedied. Lack of water, owing
to the drought, reduced the placer
output nearly a million dollars. In
spite of the unfavorable conditions
however, the value of the total miner
al production for 190S is estimated at
$19,929,88. of which over $10,000,000
was iu sold. The fall in the price
o* copper, from 20 cents in 11)07 to
13.2 cents in 1908, reduced the out
put but it still remains in second
place, the estimated value of the 1908
prtKluctlon being $6Gt>,C00. This is
but little more than half the value iu
li?07. The other items making up the
total are silver. $74,200; coal, $19,000;
marble, gypsum and mineral water,
$70,000. The production of lode gold
increased about 22 per cent, which
helped to offset the decrease in
placer gold.
One of the greatest , needs of the
Territory is improvement in the
means of communication. The high
cost of transportation places so heavy
a tax on the mining industry that
it is in most places commercially im
possible to exploit any but the rich
est deposits. In the whole Territory
covering nearly 600, ooo square miles,
there are but 452 miles of wagon road
397 of sled road and 255 of improved
trail. A few railways have been built
but the total present mileage is little
more than 300 miles, and parts of
this are out of repair and not in use.
About 50 miles of track were laid in
190S. The steamboat service is being
gradually improved, and military tel
egraph-, wireless stations, and long
distance telephones are helping the
industry, but these facilities must be
regarded as simply adjuncts to a good
system of railroads.
Mr. Brooks's paper gives a general
discussion of mining conditions, costs
and methods, and the mineral-land
laws, and outlines the operations in
the different fields .some of which
are treated in detail by other writers
in this volume.
A copy of Bulletin 379 can be had
free by anyone interested on applying
to the Director of the CJeologic.il
Survey at Washington, D. C.
