MINING IN ALASKA, 1926
Mines in Alaska produced
$17,667,800 worth of minerals
in 1926, as against $18,220,
692 in 1925, according to an
announcement made by the In
terior Department recently
through the Geological Sur
vey .The total value of the
mineral output of the Terri
since 1880 is $571,000,000.
The most notable increases
are shown both in quantity
and value of the gold produc
ed. There was some increase
in the quantity of coal mined
and sold. The production of
lead showed practically no
change, but owing to the gen
erally lower market price that
prevailed in 1926 the value of
the lead produced in that year
was somewhat lesg than in
1925. There was a consider
able decrease in both the
quantity and value of the cop
per produced and some de
crease in the quantity and
value of the silver, tin, and
platinum metals. The output
of most of the minerals group
ed under miscellaneous min
eral products showed no not
able change from the preced
ing year, though there is an
apparent difference because in
the statistics for 1926 the plati
num metaks are shown separ
ately, whereas in those for
1925 they are included in the
miscellaneous group.
The decreases do not indicate
any material lessening of min
ing activity in the Territory.
In fact, the general mining
outlook when analyzed on the
basis of the number engaged
in it is distinctly encouraging.
Some of the reported decreases
in production can be proper- j
ly attributed directly to the
lower prices for certain of the
metals that prevailed during
1926. For example, the aver
age price of silver, as comput
ed by the Buereau of Mines,
was about 7 cents an ounce j
less than in 1925. Copper was!
two-tenths of a cent less, and
lead and palladium wore also 1
lower. A considerable falling ,
off in the value of the mineral'
production of Alaska would 1
have occurred under these con-j
ditions even if the same quanti
ty of minerals had been mined.
Obviously ,however, a period
of low prices for the metals is
not one in which to stimulate
production ,so that in such
times a wise manager might
well reduce the output, of his
mine as low as outstanding
contracts, fixed charges, and
other conditions would permit.
About 56 per cent of the gold
produced during 1926 came
from placers, and of this
amount nearly 61 per cent was
mined by dredges, of which
there were 32 in operation in
different parts of the Terri
tory. This method of placer
mining promises to yield even
larger returns in succeeding
years, because during 1926
several of the dredges were
not operated through the en
tire season, owing either to
time spent in completing them
3r to the extremely season that
prevailed through most of
Alaska, or from some purely
tocal cause, and plans are al
eady under way for building
idditional dredges at a num
ber of places in the near fut
lre.
