1933! A new year, a new
deal in government, and new
hope for Ihe future.
Owing to the illness of the
teacher, the public school wa
closed Thursday.
Nearly three feet of snow
fell during the big snow storm
lasting from Monday night to
Wednesday.
I. N. Hoguewood and son,
Orville Hoguewood, arrived
Thursday afternoon from
Ketchikan in their power boat,
after a 5-day trip up the coast,
during which they visited the
Jimmy Hill place on Lincoln
Channel and Nick Kristovich,
who is hunting below Halibut
Bay. The Messrs. Hoguewood
plan to remain here until Sun
ay or Monday.
Ben Malinin, Gus Erickson
‘nd Martin Gleason have dis
played a most commendable
public spirit during the snowy
season by shoveling the snow
from the long sidewalk be
tween the old customs office on
volunteer Drive and the office
>f Attorney Biue on Second
avenue. Mr. Malmin has been
particularly devoted to this
self-elected and by no means
-'asy task but between them
hey have managed to keep the
ivalk in good condition for
travel. All three are well en
| titled to the thanks of those
who have occasion to travel be
tween the upper and lower
townsites.
Harry Boer, Harry Hills and
Frank Blasher have also per
formed considerable gratuitous
snow shoveling on First Ave
nue for which they are entitled
to praise.

Proposals to post the names ]
of persons taking books from j
the Hyder Public Library and ;
failing to return them within j
the required time were dis
cussed at a meeting of the new i
board of directors Friday even-1
mg and will probably be adopt- j
ed at a meeting to be held next j
Wednesday. It was disclosed
that in some instances books
have bfcen retained by borrow
ers for periods as long as six
months. It was also suggested
that as a last resort represent
atives of the library visit the
delinquents and demand return
of the books and payment of
the required delinquency fees.
MINERAL PRODUCTION
DECREASES IN 1932
Continued from Page One.
the third in lode gold output.
Placer gold recoveries in the
the mines near Kennicott in the
Copper River region.
Silver production in 1932
was considerably less than in
the preceding year, due prin
cipally to the fact that most of
the silver produced in Alaska j
comes from the copper ore i. j
With the great reduction in the
output of copper ore in 1932,
the quantity of silver naturally
shows a corresponding de
crease. There was also a de
crease in the average selling
price which adversely affected
the value of the silver pro
duced.
The production of coal from
Alaska mines is estimated to
have been 102,000 tons, or
slightly.less than in 1931.
All the petroleum porduced
in Alaska in 1932 came from ;
the wells of the Chilkat Oil Co.
near Katalla, where the comp
any operates a small refinery, i
Alaska produced during 19- j
32 significant amounts of lead,
marble, limestone and plati
num and lesser amounts of a
few other minerals. Most of
the lead produced was a by
product from the gold ores of j
the Alaska Juneau mine. Some ;
marble is reported to have been j
shipped by the Vermont Mar- j
ble Co. from its quarries near
Tokeen, in southeastern Alas
ka. The mining of certain
limestone deposits on Dali Is-;
land in southeastern Alaska, as
a source of one of the constit-'
j uents of cement, was success-1
j fully continued throughout 19- j
32.
The nlatinum metals come
principally from placers in the
Good news Bay district at the
mouth of the Kuskokwim river
and in smaller amounts from
Seward peninsula, near Nome, i
Production of the metal in 1932
was somewhat larger than in
the preceding year.
Although an extensive pro- ;
ducer of tin in earlier vears, no i
tm ore was reported shipped j
from Alaska in 1932.
A small amount of quicksil
ver is said to have been retort
ed at the deposits near Sleit
mute in the central Kuskokwim
valley.
