27 were active during 1930—
15 in the Yukon Valley, and
12 in Seward Peninsula. To
gether these dredges produced
gold to the value of $3,912,
600. They are estimated to
have handled about 9,906,000
cubic yards of gravel, and the
gold recovered was worth
about 391/2 cents a cubic yard.
The output of copper was
nearly 7,860,000 pounds less
than in 1929, and its value was
nearly $2,886,000 less than in
the earlier year. Practically
the whole of the Alaska cop
per comes from three mines
operated by the Kennecott
Copper Corporation. Two of
which are in the Copper River
region and one on Latouche
Island, in Prince William
Sound. During the year work
at the mine on Latouche Is
land was discontinued and
part of the plant dismantled.
In 1930 silver to the value of
$107,800 was recovered from
copper ores, $39,300 from gold
lode ores, and $10,200 from
placer gold; the total was
408,570 ounces, having a val
ue of $157,000. This marks a
very great falling off in value
from 1929, which is attributed
to the lower selling price of
silver and to the greatly de
creased output of copper ores
from which a large part of the
Alaska silver is derived.
Lead produced amounted to
2,730,000 pounds, which at
the average selling price of
lead for the year was worth
$136,500. This was the larg
est output of lead in Alaska
since this metal was first pro
duced in the Territory, though
because of the small price paid
for lead the total value was
below that of many years.
Most of the lead wag recover
ed as a by-product in connect
ion with the mining of gold
ores in southeastern Alaska.
Coal to the value of $031,
000 was produced in 1930
from Alaska mines. This was
an increase of about $100,000,
and the output of the year,
120.100 tons, has been exceed
ed in only one year in the
entire period that coal mining
has been in progress in Alas
ka. No Alaska coal is ex
ported, but 37,128 was import
ed from the States, chiefly
from Washington, and 23,
892 tons from foreign count
ries, chiefly British Columbia,
so that the total consumption
of coal in Alaska in 1930
amounted to approximately
181.100 tons.
