MAIN OF B GRADE '
GRANITE OVER LOOKS SHHfflt
Leonard P. Smith, representing
tho Puget Sound Marblo & Granite
company, of Seattlo, Wash., called
at the Dally Alaska office Just be
fore leaving 011 the Alameda (or
homo today und In a casual conver
sation stuted that *t was his opin
ion that Skagway was destlued somo
day to bo kuown for her granlto
quarried
Mr. Smith stated that, ho had just
returned from u visit to tho now
oemetary, and whllq th'?ro did a lit
tle prospecting. Ito said that tho
cometary grounds wus composed of
granite, and that It was of a vory
high grade. He said, in speaking
of tho rock, "Tho tlma will come
when that granite will be one of tho
big assets of this country. It Is of
easy access to tldo <vater, and a
ihort spur could bo :run from the
Whlto Pass right of way, which 1s
within a stone's throw of tho gran
ite and all that would remain to be
done would be to quarry the rock
and ship it to the big cities where
thousands of tons ure usod annual
'y In tho construction af foundation!
-.lid buildings.
Continuing Mr. Smith said; "Tho
contractors for the L. C. Smith
building In Soattle arc Importing In
the neighborhood of 4 00,000 cubic
feet of granite from British Colum
bia, for which they are paying $1.10
per cubic foot, In addition to nu im
port duty of about ton porcent.
"Thy reason that the contract
ors uro using the B. C. grnnl'.o Ih
that it is of bettor grade than can
bo had In tho United States, when
the coat of transportation is taken
into consideration, and I can soo no
reason wily tho cost or transporta
tion from Alaska could bo material
ly dlfforout from that of 13. C. when
tho Import duty is considered.
"Tho Haines Poreupino govern
tnent road has mndo a cut thru a
vein of blue marble which has boon
compared to tho Vermont mnrble
and it is beliovod to bo of as high
a grade as tho product of tho east
ern state, and while now tho ques
tion of transportation would mlri i
Kate against tho shipment of ; ills' j
marble, tho tlmo will come when 1>
will bo worked, as there Is no blue |
veined marble west of the Rocky
Mountains, and this Icdgo is not
even located".
In tho following romark, Mr
Smith Is not original, as It Is an
i old saying, oft time ropeate I by
porsons who bavo visited the north
land; "Tho world will soon awaken
to tho vast rlehos outside of gold
and copper, that lies dormant In A
laska, and the marble and granlt-'
deposits will not prove the least o.

Tho United States Geological Sue I
voy has Just Issued, ai mi advanr I
chapter from "Mtuoral Rosources o I
tho United States", a report by A1-,
frrd H. Brooks on the mine product |
ion of precious and semiprecious
metals In Alaska In 1M2. Motalli |
ferous mining In Alaska, says Mr !
ISrooks, made Important advance ,
last year. Although the output of
gold placers was lo^s than In 1911
the Installation of large plants, no
tably of dredges,' In ninny districts
is encouraging (or the future of
this Industry. More Important wan
tho progress made in lode gold mlit-{
lug, the output of which was grwat-j
er than In previous yoars. Copper
mining also advanced, partly heoaui.
several largo plants Increased their
output, partly because a number of
small mines were developed on ac
count of the high pric* of copper.
Tho development of the coal
fields still awaits the staMlshruent
of a definite policy In regard to the
disposition of the publ;c coal lnnds
The delay In securing cheap fuel
for tho Territory has now for many
years caused a stagnation In many
industries. Railway construction
and, to a certain extent, railway op
eration have stopped arid many min
ing enterprises have teen hamper
ed If not ontlrely abandoned on ac
count of the uncertainty as to tho
fuel problem. Very few Alaskans
havo any direct Intorest In coal
claims or in mining, bit the entiro
population of the Territory Is desir
ous of seeing the coal fields devel
oped because It Is believed that
this will bring about advancement in
many other Industries. Above all,
it will encourage the oporation and
the construction of railways, which
are all Important to t tie Territory.
The total mine production of gold.
Silver and copper lu Aliska In 1912
was valued at $22.2S5,821, against
$20,505,664 In 1911, an Increase of
$1,780,158. The value of tho gold
production of Alaska lait year 1b os
tlmated at $17,154,951, that of sli
ver at $316,839. lu 1911 tho out
put of gold was valued at $16,853,
256. The copper output of Alaska
for 1912 was 29,230,4 91 pounds,
valued at $4,823,031 au Increase
from 1911 ofl.962.613.

WILL W1NTKR IX CHISAXA
Collector of Customs J. It. Willi;!
returned on tho Dolphin to Juneau
from un extended trip Into the Inter
ior as far as Fairbanks. Tho main
object of tho Journey was to exam
lno Into the conditions of commerce
at Fairbanks which is now oxporlen
<ing tho first year as a sub port of
entry. Collector Willis made an
exhaustive study of the conditions
and ^ls now making up his report
to be forwarded to the department
at Waslilugton, D. C.
The problem of taking care of Im
ports into the Chlsana seel Ion via
tho Whlto river and l^ake Kluane
routes from Canadian territory has
protruded Itself says tho Juneau
Umpire. The subject Is now being
given careful consideration and is
the basis of a report that Is now
being made to the department. Tho
is at present about 300 tons of pro
visions shipped from Dawson to the
mouth of tho Donjek river to bo
taken Into the Chlsana country as
soon as snow coiues for winter
travel. About sixty per cent of the
entlro shipment Is originally Amer
lean and is therefore non-dutiablo
Of the balance about half will
probably be on the free list when th
new tariff schedulo goes Into ef
feet. It is not considered wise to
send a collector in until tho now
schedule goes into effoct. It Is
quite likely that a collector will be
sont In about December 1.
Another thing that must be tak
en Into account Is the uncertainty
as to which route will ho adopted
as the main thoroughfare of travel.
From the mouth of tho White river
to tho diggings a good winter trail
will bo established that is only 200
miles long. This is considered
shorter than the Kluane route. The:
Northern Commercial company and
tho White Pass ? company will each
deliver barges loaded with provision
at the mouth of the White river Just
beforo the freeze-up this fall, and
this stuff will undoubtedly bo im
ported over the trail.
However, thoro Is a possibility of
an all American route being creat
ed via the Copper River and Chest
ochlna via the old Eagle telegraph
trail. Such action as the depart
ment may tako will depend soino
what on future developments. It Is
tho oollef of Collector Willis that
3,000 people will spend the coming
winter In the Chlsana. This belief
Is founded on the facts gained n
bout the movomont toward thnt
point from different soctions of AI
aaka and In Yukon Territory.
