GOLD OUTPUT
SHOWS INCREASE
’, Washington: There was a ^iiht.
increase in the gold producti(»n in
; Alaska during the year 1920, ac ••
ording !oa i eport made puhlie by
he De|'artment, of the Interior,
j Uut, not withstanding this gain,
J the total mineral production of the
Territory for the year showed a
j decrease, due to a slump in pro
j dnotion of copper, lead and other
I miner iIs.
Gold production for the year
is estimated at $6,b2o,0G0. and $0.
oOO.OOO for the year 1925.
The total mineral output for
192b was Si7, 490,000, compared
with $1^,224,000 the previous year
Copper dropped from $10,1100,000
to $9,500,000: sil ver from $4tt2,0u0
to $420.C(K), and other metals from
$011,000 to $500,000.
The report calls attention to
the fact that “large areas of Ala
ska have not been adequately pro
spected, and that many promis
ing prospects lie undeveloped be
cause of lacK of capital.
5 FOOT VEIN OF ORE FOUND
A 5 foot vein of ore carrying
18 to 20 inches of solid steel gal
ena, wa> encountered on the Riv
erside property recently as the
result of prospecting activities
carried on in connection with the
winter development program,
says the Hyder Miner. The strike
was made in a new tunnel run on
an outcrop of ore about 200 feet
above the old Lindeborg tunnel,
and a considerable distance above
the present mine workings. After
following the ore a short distance
without encountering more than
nominal values, the tunnel was
driven through a granite dyke
about 30 feet wide and the rich
vein of ore was located on the
farther side, about 100 feet from
the portal, and about an equal
distance from the surface vert
ically.
