Millions Are
Shipped From
Alaska South
In the last fiscal year, which close !
June 30, Alaska shipped through Se
attle to the markets of the United
States merchandise and previous met
als valued at $65,964,000, according to
a compilation made by the depart
ment of commerce and made public
yesterday, says the Seattle Times of
August 1. • Of this amount about $17,
000,000 consisted of gold and silver.
From the standpoint of an invest
ment, the people of the United States,
by whom Alaska was purchased for
$7,200,000, received a dividend of
about 900 per cent on their invest
ment this year.
Alaska’s exports to the United
States were double the amount re
corded in 1912, and was only exceed
ed by ten countries in the world be
fore the outbreak of the European
war. Since the war, foreign exports
have been greatly decreased, and Al
aska now has a leading position as an
exporter.
Copper Predominant Feature.
The predominant feature of Alas-;
ka’s trade for the year, according to
an analysis made by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, de
partment of commerce, was the rise
of copper to first place among Alas
ka’s staples. More than a year ago,
The Times, after a careful analysis of
the Alaskan copper industry, predict
ed that the output of the metal this
year would be between $24,000,000
and $25,000,000. Local commercial or
ganizations thought the estimate too
high, but the actual production of
$26,488,000 shows that it was conserv
ative. This is an increase of 400 per 1
cent over the average yield for the j
three preceding years and exceeds §
the combined imports of copper from £
Chile, Cuba, Canada and Mexico, the |
leading foreign sources of the red -
metal.
Canned salmon shipped to the Unit
ed States from Alaska in ,the last fis
cal year aggregated 216,000,000
pounds, valued at $18,307,000, an in
crease of 24,000,000 pounds over 1915
and 40,000,000 pounds over 1914.
Gold Vield More Than 16 Millions.
The Alaskan gold yield was $16,
200,000, and the silver shipments ag
gregated $760,000, both of these met
als showing an appreciable increase
over previous years. Other Alaskan
products included in the summary i
are: ! -
