Governor Strong
Believes “Drys”
“Your work will be crowned with
success because you stand for civic
righteousness.” These closing words
of Governor Strong’s speech of wel
come last night at the Methodist
church to the delegates of the second
annual W. C. T. U. convention in Al
aska, typified the general tone of his
address, and his statements were en
dorsed by Mayor Stewart in giving
the welcome for the city. Mr. Stew
art commanded the organization’s
work and remarked, “I wish to as
sure you that the city is in hearty ac
cord with your attempts.”
L .D. Henderson, superintendent of
the Juneau schools, greeted the dele
gates on behalf of the educational in
terest;. and Mrs. J. \Y. Thatcher
spoke foY the Juneau Woman’s Club.
Other official welcomes were given
by the Reverend Blackwell on be- |
half of the churches, Mrs. Rose Han- j
ley. of Douglas, for the local and Is
land W. C. T. U.’s and Mrs. It. A.
Buchanan, of Sitka, responded for the j
visitors.
Mrs. Buchanan defined the aim of
the W. C. T. L'. as being to do to the j
Saloon.-, v, hat the man did to the dog j
who 1 him, and explaned that “he ,
•i ’ he dog’s tail right off behind his j
ears.”
Mr Ella Alexander Boole, nation
al vict - president of the organization,
was asked by President Hatcher to
address the gathering, and gave in
response the objects of the union as
being “the protection of the home,
the promotion of purity, the des
truction of the liquor traffic, and the
final triumph of the Golden Rule of
Christ in custom and law.”
The church had been decorated for
the occasion with flags and flowers
and several musical numbers were
furnished for the pleasure of the
good-sized audience by the Methodist
choir, Mesdames Dawes and Perkins,
and Mr. Perkins.
Mrs. C. R. Miller, while camping at
the 'n. Bear claim, no.o’ Whit*
horse, placed a 5-gallon oh can on a
stump and took a shot at it with a
.22 calibre rifle. When things quieted
down a little it was found that the
can and stump had disappeared and the
lady had a number of piece? of tin in
various portions of her body, it is
believed that some careless miner had
left a stick of dynamite in th? can.

Brooks’ Report
Tel s of Alaska’s
Mineral Wealth
The report of the Alaska Mining M
Industry in 1915, by Alfred H. Hook,
has reached this office. Introducing
his subject, Mr. Brooks says:
The Alaska mining industry as a ■
whole was more prosperous in 1915 ■
than in any previous year. This is j t
indicated by the value of the total j
mineral output, which was $32,854,- :
229, compared with $19,065,6666 for ;
1914. The highest value for any pre- ’
vious year was in 1906 when Alaska l
produced $23,378,428 worth of miner- i
als, but this was at a time when the 1
bonanza placers of Fairbanks and
Nome were yielding their greatest re- ■
turns. Though the high value of the '
mineral production of 1915 was due i
for the most part to an enormous cop- •
per output, which was more than l*ar
times that of the previous year, yet
the mining of gold, silver, and other
mineral products also increased. Tie
gold output of the placer mines wu
less than in the previous year, but
this decrease was more than made ua
by the increase in gold output of t. e
lode mines.
The enormous expansion of ti
copper mining industry was directly
due to the high price of copper, yet
it should be noted that this expansion
was possible only because of the large
developments that have been unde
way for several years. It augurs well
for the future of the industry that
the Alaska copper mines are now u'
ficientlv developed to take udvantag'
of the market conditions of last year
by producing so large a tonnage.
There were also during 1915 mark
ed advances in the Alaskan auriferous
lode mining industry. As in previous
years .the gain was made principally
in southeastern Alaska and especially
in the Juneau district, though prog
ress was also made in some of the oth
er gold lipids. The inland gold-lode
camps are, however, as yet too isolat
ed to permit extensive lode develop
ment. which must await the comple
tion of i .! i i;n;s.
are ai. n in the inland region, and
these have ■‘ot yet reacted to the
stimulu of railroad construction.
Some of sm-dlcr piacer cun;,.
made notable gains in oitpuf as
compared with the previous year, yet
these g uns were more than offset by
the decline in production from some
of tb n: i;e important Yukon dis- '
tricts. There are in the interior large
a ■ of gold-bearing gravel whose
\ d.: are !•■ > . ,■.>■ to permit profitable

die high price- of tin, antimony,
tungsten and other metals stimulated
hie search for and developmen of,
lepo.its containing these raincr.iis.

about the same as in previous years

■ in v as shipped from Fairbanks uni
Xome—the hist antimony to be pro
diced ip. Alaska. In the Fairbanks
district the ce* clopment of a vem,
carrying tunt rten (scheelite) was be
gun.
Some investigations and prepare-;
tions were mane for the mining of the
high grade A .aska coal under the nc-w
leasing law. A little lignitic coai was'
mined under the permit system pio
vided by this law, but as yet no large
coal-mining enterprises have been be
gun. With the development of the
coal fields vh.ch is now assured ’,he
metalliferous mining industry will re
ceive a great stimulus.
In addition to the minerals men
tioned above, marble, gypsum, barite
and petroleum were produced on
about the same scale as in previous
years. Some development work was
done on deposits of molybdenite, chro
mic iron ore, and graphite, but so
far as known these minerals were not
produced on a commercial scale.
