MINERAL OUTPUT —1932
Continued from I’age 1
er than it had been in any other
year since 1917. The output
was distributed between lodes
and placers approximately in
the proportion of 46 to 54-$4,
687,00 from lodes and $5,522,
000 from placers. Nearly
three-fourths of the lode out- .
put came from lodes in south- ■
eastern Alaska.
ihe output ot placer gold
was about two-thirds of a mil
lion dollars more than in 1931.
Camps in the Yukon basin con
tributed the greatest amount,
and those in Seward Peninsula
came next. Nearly 87 per cent
of the output was mined by
dredges, of which 25 were act
ive—11 in the Yukon valley,
13 in Seward Peninsula, and 1
in Kuskokwim valley. Total
dredge production was $4,293,- 1
000, their recovery averaging
about 41.6 cents a cubic yard.
The output of copper was 8,
738,000 pounds, or nearly 14,
000,000 pounds less than in 19
31, and its value was about
$1,300,000 less than in 1931.
Silver, recovered as a minor
constituent from the ores of
gold and copper was valued at
$66,000, of which $22,900 was
recovered from copper ores,
$32,500 from gold lode ores,
and $10,600 from placer gold.
The lower selling price of sil- ■
ver and the greatly decreased J
output of copper ores were re- j j
sponsible for the great falling ||
off in the \$alue of the silver ;
output as compared to 1931. if
Lead production amounted!;
to 2,521,300 pounds and wasjf
worth $75,600. Most of the I
lead was a by-product of gold I f
ores mined in southeastern i j
Alaska. I i
Coal to the value of $513,500
was produced, principally in
the Matanuska and Healy Riv
er fields. This was a decrease
both in quantity and value, but
the output of 102.700 tons has
been exceeded in only five
years since coal mining has
been in progress in Alaska.
The total coal consumption of
Alaska in 1932 was about 145,
000 tons, of which 28,422 tons
was imported from the United
States and British Columbia.
The total value of miscellan
eous mineral products, includ
ing marble, limestone, petrol
eum, platinum metals and
quicksilver, was $223,400.
