INCREASE IN MINING
IN ALASKA, 1925
The interior departme t, at
Washington, in figures submitt
ed this week, estimated the min
eral production in Alaska, for
the year 1925, at $! 7,850,000.
This shows an increase of $4i9
000 over the year 1924 and shows
a bigger mineral pro luctiontln n
for several years past. The gold
output v.as placed at $6 150,000,
compared with $6,2*5,744 for
1924. Copper showed a produc
tion gain tn 1925 of $646,279 over
the year 1924.
On the whole, the condition
of the mineral industry of Alas
ka in 1925 showed improvement
over the preceding year. It is
true that there was a decrease
in the production of gold and
coal, but these decreases are
believed to have been of or ly tern
porary significance and do not
at all indicate a permanent dec
line. In fact, throughout the Ter
ritory there were unmistakable
signs that many of the operatois
were putting their properties in
a more efficient condition and
that people with capital were
seeking opportunity for invest
ment in large operations of stab
ility rather than in projects that
would be quickly worked out or
in speculative mining ventures.
The influence of improved min
ing methods and larger scale
operations have already begun
to yield results at some of the
mines, and further effects are
to be expected in 1(J2(3, though
io may be several years before
all the projects now under way
will be significantly reflected by
a notable increase of production.
There are still large areas in Ala
s :a thar have not been adequat j
eiy prospected and many piom-i
ising propei ties are lying idle.
