Home of the important features hi
the annual retiort on the mineral
totonrces of Alaska ar..1 production
in 19!4, prepared under the direc
tion of Alfred it. Ilrooks, of the
Coiled States beological survey, are
abstracted tn the following state
inent:
Mining began in Alaska in t8S0.
and since that time the terr tory has
prt duced mineral 'health To the
value of $268,1.)). 190. Of this.
Sit i4.156.000 has been in gold, $19,
8o-.1,000 in eoi>|)ei, $2,251,00* in
-alver, $37.0,000 in coal, and the rest
in i’l, lead. qni'-’:?'!',cr, marble,
gypsum, petroleum, etc. Copper
mining, began in Alaska in 1901,
:jtul the total production is about
133,000,000 pounds.
The value of the total mineral
output of Alaska in 1914 was $19,i
118,0S0, compared with $19,416,001'
for 1913. The figures on gold out
put for 1914 show a value of $1»,
626.000; in 1913, the value was
$1 .',.626,813. Silver to the value of.
$218,000 wag produced >n 1414.
compared with $218,983 in 15i~.
Though the low price of cop,par
greatly curtailed the output of that
metal, 21,450,060 pounds, valued at
$3,852,000, was produced ijt .1914,
against 21,699.953 pounds, valued at
$2,357,293 in 1913. The output of
the other metals, including tin, mar
ble, gypsum, quicksilver, coal and
petroleum, in 1914, had a value of
$282,000. compared with $272,242
for 1913.
Had it not been for the depres
sion of the copper market, the value
of Alaska a mineral product would
have been considerably greater in
1914 than in 1913. The gold-min
ing industry of the territory as a
whole was prosperous during the
year, but a more important item of
progress is tlM! extensive work ac
complished, on large plants that had
not reached a productive stage. No
progress was made tn coal mining,
there being in 1914 only a small
productive mine in the territory, and
that in one of the lignite fields. It
is expected that the new law pro
viding for leasing of coal lands la
Alaska will lead to the exploitation
ot the Helds containing high-grade
coal. The tin, gypsum, marble and
petroleum mining industries in
Alaska had a successful year.
The certainty of railway connec
tion with the Yukon basin has
greatly stimulated both prospecting
and mining development. There
was a noticeable increase in investi
gation of large mining enterprises
in 1914 compared with previous
years. This was due solely to the
expectation of cheaper transporta
tion.
(fold.
The value of the placer gold pro-;
liner d in 1914 was $10,7,00,09#, or •
piaetipally- the same 43. that of 1913. ■
which was $10,680,000. The .dlstri-j
button of this output,, however, was
not.the same in.the two. years. .Koine
increases in the output.of,the Ituby.
Seward I’eninsula, Iditarod, and Hot
Springy districts were made, :hut,-on
the other hand, there .wag a marked
decline >n the placer gold output
from Fairbanks and lesser, decreases
in some of the smaller camps.. The
abundant rainfall which occurred in
most of the Yukon and Seward pe
ninsula camps during.the rainiag
season of 19X4 greatly favored
Placer operations.
Forty-two gold dredges were, op
erated in Alaska for the who'e- or
part of the open season of 1914
These dredges produced gold worth
■f2,3r,0,000. In 1913. 39 dredges
were operated in Alaska, with u
output valued at* $2,200,000. The
decreased output per dredge in 1911
is accounted for by the facts that in
1913 several of the dredges were
working in very rich ground and
that several of the new machines
were not completed in time to oper
ate for more fthan a brief period in
1914. A further handicap to the
dredges was the fact that the dredg
Ing season at Nome opened later
than usual. In addition to the
dredges operated, there were abou,.
half a dozen under construction.
T wenty-eight gold lode mines
were operated ill Alaska in 19lb,

and produced, gold to the value of
ib.863,000. In 1013, 30 lpde mines,
produced $4,814,813 worth of gold.
The decrease in the number of mines ;
was doe to the fact that several j
which were operated in the Fair
banks district in 19l3 were idte in
1014. Juneau is and will continue

FIRST DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
It is Interesting to note at this
time that the first discovery of gold
In Alaska wa« made during the Rus
sian occupation, on the Anauk river,
a tributary of the Kuskokwim.
The Anauk river was discovered
by a Russian trader, Simensen Lu
kecn, in 1832, at which time he
built a fort, called Lukeen's fort. 25 j
miles above tb > mouth of the Ane
auk. It was partially destroyed by I
natives in 1841. and rebuilt by Kara-!
akoff. a Russian trader, and after
wards called Kalmakoff Redoubt.
In 1832 the headquarters of the !
.v'Hwmii nuiciuirtu r ur lompau/ i
were at 3 tka, and supplies were
transported from there to Lukeen’s
fort by way of Xushagak river. Tic
chic river and. Take down the Anauk
fo the Kuskokwim, and thence by
steam 25 mites to the fort.
In 1837 the yearly supplies were
sent in by the way of the mouth of
the Kuskokwim river and the old
way abandoned as a summer route
and used only for the purpose of
sending out the mail during the win
ter by dog team.
It was the only winter route the
Russians ever used from any point
on the Yukon to the outside (Sitka I,
and was only abandoned for the pur
pose after they left the country.
It was wh'le on one of these trips,
In 1S32, that the Russians discov
ered ogld on the Anauk, and it is
known today as the Yellow river of
the Russians. It is not known
whether they ever attempted mining
on a large scale, or whether they
found gold in paying quantities, but
it is' the first time on record of gold
being found in this country.—Fair
