med to the mill of nearly 12,
000 tons and for some months
an average daily output of
close to 13,000 tons. This high
rate of mining was due to ex
tremely efficient operation and*,
vaulted in handling nearly
500,000 tons of ore more than
in 1927. No noteworthy change
in the tenor of the ore was re
ported.
Elsewhere in Alaska gold
lode mining continued at about
the same rate as in the preced
ing year. The three mines on
Chichagof Island continued to
yield a considerable amount
of gold, and several smaller
mines in other parts of south
| eastern Alaska produced some
gold.
The value of the copper pro
duced from Alaskan mines is
j estimated to have been about
| $2,200,000 less in 1927 than
in 1926. This decrease has
been explained as due to the
low price of copper in 1927,

A
value to the copper produced
but also deterred operators
from lowering the price still
more by dumping large quanti
ties of metal on the market. In
1927, as in earlier years, the
output of copper was mainly
made by mines operated by the
Kennecott Copper Corporation
in the Copper river region and
on Latouche Island.
Most of the silver produced
in Alaska during recent years
has been recovered from the
copper ore-in fact, during
1926 over three-quarters of the
silver came from that source.
With the great reduction in
the output of copper ore in
1927 the quantity of silver
naturally showed* a corre
sponding decrease. The low
price of silver in 1927 explains
a part of the lesser value of
the production of silver for the
year.
In connection with silver pro
duction the Geological Survey
report says: l
There was a relatively good
increase in the production from
the lead-silver mines in .the
Hyder district. The principal
producing mine on American
territory in the vicinity of Hy
der is the Riverside, but there
are several prospects in that
region on which work is being
pushed and which appear . to
hold promise of yielding com
mercial ore.
The production of coal by
Alaskan mines showed-a. slight
Increase in 1927 over that of
:he preceding year. The out
put was furnished mainly by
he Evan Jones, Premier, and
\laska-Matanuska mines, in
he Matanuska region, and the
Suntrana mine, in the Healy
River field.
All the petroleum produced
n Alaska continued to come
'ram the wells of the Chilkat
Dil Co., near Katalla, where,
n addition to the oil wells, the
company operates a small re
'inery.
Drilling to test the possibili
ies of oil in the Yakataga dis
trict, was carried on by the
General Petroleum Co. almost •
:ontinuously until the middle
)f October. During that time
he well was driven to a depth
>f 2,005 feet. Several showings
>f gas were noted at a depth of •
.,643 feet.
