ALASKA COPPER PRODUCTION
-r. IS SEVENTY MILLION POUNDS
♦ . „ _
The copper production of Alaska in
1918 was 62,224,951 pounds, valued at
$17,098,563, according to a report on
the Alaska mining industry in 1918,
just issued by the United States Geo
*
logical Survey. This is less than the
production in 1917, which was 88,793,
400 pounds, valued at $24,240,598. The
reduction in output is stated to be due
to shortage of labor and ships. Dur
ing the year seventeen copper mines
were operated, the same number as
in 1917. A copper prospect on the
Alaska peninsula is under develop
ment and interest still continues, the
report states, in the copper deposits
of the Talkeetna and Broad Pass dis
tricts. The copper deposits in the
- Alaska range recently reported are
still attracting attention, although lit
tle work has been done on them. The
deposit of copper discovered in 1915
on Rainy creek, a tributary of the
South fork of Delta river, seven miles
above Miller’s roadhouse, is said to
be a large body of low-grade ore on
which considerable crosscutting has
been done. There is also a low-grade
copper deposit in the gulch one and
one-half or two miles west of Pax
son’s roadhouse. A copper lode on
McLaren river, tributary to the Su
sitna, is said to be ten feet wide and
of high grade. It was reported that
an outfit was to be taken in on the
snow in the winter of 1918-19 to pros
pect this deposit. A copy of this re
' port may be obtained from the direc
tor of the Geological Survey, Wash
ington, D. C.
SCHOOL TEACHER BELIEVES
ALASKA IS IN CANADA
Among the letters received at the
territorial bureau of publicity at Ju
neau are some disclosing a woful lack
of knowledge on the part of the
writers of the geography of the Unit
ed States.
One young lady from Johnstown,
Pa., who is a high school graduate,
says that Juneau is the city in which
she hopes to teach.
Another teacher starts her letter
with the question: “Have you ary
schools in Alaska?”
Still another‘says that she has de
cided to teach school in Alaska, and
therefore would wish to get located
in Dawson.

PRODUCTION OF MINERALS
IN TERRITORY OF ALASKA
BELOW NORMAL IN 1917
The Alaska mining industry in 1918
has just been set forth in detail in a
report by the United States Geologi
cal Survey. Regular mining may be
said to have begun in Alaska in 1880,
when the Juneau gold placers were
first exploited. It is estimated that
since that time mineral wealth has
been produced to the value of more
than $418,000,000.
The mineral production of the terri
tory in 1918 was valued at only $28,
253,961. This output was almost $12,
500,000 less than that for 1917 and
was the smallest since 1914. The de
crease was chiefly in copper, the pro
duction of which fell from 88,783,400
pounds, valued at $24,240,598, in 1917,
to 69,224,951 pounds, valued at $17,
098,563 in 1918. The reduction in the
output of copper was due to the short
age of labor and ships. The produc
tion of gold decreased from 709,050
ounces, valued at $14,657,353, ni 1917,
to 458,641 ounces, valued at $9,480,953,
in 1918, and was the smallest since
1904. The reduction in the output of
gold was due chiefly to curtailment
of operations because of the scarcity
of labor and the cost of materials.
There was a reduction in the output
of silver and lead, due to the decrease
in gold and copper.
