HIGH COST OF
OPERATING IS
! BIG HANDICAP
; Two million, five hundred thousand
dollars in gold is the estimated pro
duction for the season of 1918 in that
part of Alaska tributary to the gov
ernment railroad, according to the re
port of the land and industrial depart
incut of the Alaskan engine, ring com
I mission.
"Ileeause of the high price and
scarcity of nearly all materials need
• ■d in the prosecution of the mining
; industry, and as a result of the short
I age of labor, the yield of gold and
| other miners was not so large in
1918 as it otherwise would have been,"
says tlie report.
"The Willow Creek mining district,
which is the richest gold quaartz dis
trict in Alaska, produced about $300.
: 000 in gold in the season of 1918.
There* were about 200 men in the dis
trict during the summer months,
which is about fifty fewer than there
were in 1917.
"A development of the 1918 season
was the discovery that at least some
of the ores in the district carry plat
inum values. A sample recently sent
to Denver. Colo., for testing purposes
returned assay values of a fraction
more than seven ounces in gold and
1.1 ounces of platinum.
Need for Better Roads
"While considerable improvement
has been made in transportation fa
cilities in the Willow Creek district,
the prime necessity is better roads
between the district and Wasllla,
which is on the government railroad.
, sixteen miles distant
"The Cache (’reek district in the
► season of 191s produced $2b0.0oo in
placer gold. The number of men in
| the district during the season did not
j average more than 12a. The oper
ators of the large dredge, which has
been in the district three seasons, de
clare that because of the high cost
of materials and labor they do not
plan to work next season.
"The building of tin* government
railroad to Talkeetna. to which the
laying of steel is progressing now. will
greatly aid the Cache (’reek district,
if improvement is made in the wagon
road between Talkeetna and this dis
trict.”
