MINERAL PRODUCTION.
Opponents of a bonus for gold or
some plan looking to a resuscitation
of mining the yellow metal have
been loud in their declarations that
the demand presented by gold min
ers is a geographical one and en
gendered by purely selfish motives.
A glance at the mineral output
returns from various countries shows
this attitute to be far from correct,
says an exchange. In a report is
sued by the Canadian department
of mines it is shown that the Do
minion’s mineral production for 1919
was $173,075,913, against $211,
301,897 in 1918 and $189,646,821
in 1917, or $16,570,908 less in |
1918 than in 1917, about the same
period when materials and wages
began mounting upward and wiping
out the margin of profit in gold pro
duction.
Ontario led among mineral-pro
ducing provinces, with British Co
lumbia second, the latter's mineral
production dropping from $36,141,
926 to $34,258,267 between 1917
and 1919. The Yukon, a purely
gold province, dropped from $4,
482,202 in 1917 to but $1,963,965
in 1919.
These mineral production figures
would an even greater decrease but
for such mines as Anyox and Brit
annia, which had reached almost
full development and began output- j
ting large quantities of copper in
1918.
Thus the origin of the demand for
a readjustment of the gold situation
cannot be justly laid at the door of j
Alaska, for it is only a unit in the
gold producing regions of the world,
all of which are similarly affected.
Same here.
Valdez is one town in the Ter
ritory where the soldier is taken at
his worth and treated as an hon
ored guest. While the war was on,
says the editor of the Valdez Miner,
many parts of the country became
so hysterical over the uniform that
a boy was nearly drowned by the
oseulatory welcomes bestowed. Since
the war, these places have dropped
again into their ante-war feeling
against the boys in uniform, until a
soldier has been made to feel that
he was a social outcast for wearing !
the uniform. But Valdez has al- j
ways had a warm sport in her heart i
for the boys in khaki, giving them ,
the best the town could afford, and !
the boys have responded generously. '
There has never been a cause for i
* I
complaint against the conduct of any j
man at the post, and they are j
classed among the best citizens of |
the town. And the town has bene-1
fited greatly, socially and morally, j
by the example set by tihese boys. j

LARGER EXPORTS, SMALLER
IMPORTS.
An increase of $55,000,000 in ex
ports, but a decrease of $64,000.
000 in imports in May as compared
with April is shown in a statement
issued by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Gommerce, Depart
ment of Commerce.
The exports in May amounted to
$739,000,000, against $685,000,000
| in April of this year anti $604,000.-'
j000 in May of last year. For the!
jll months ended May, 1920. the!
j
j exports were $7,474,000,00, against.
$6,304,000,000 in 1919.
The May imports amounted to ‘
$431,000,000, as compared with j
$496,000,000 in April and $329,-j
000,000 in May of last year. For!
jthe 11 months ended May of this!
lyear, imports were $4,686,000,000, j
• against $2,803,000,000 in the same i
period of last year.
The imports of gold in May
amounted to $16,000,000, a consid
erable decrease from the $49,000,
000 for April. For the 11 months
ended May of this year, imports of
Jgold amounted to $124,000,000,
| compared with $36,000,000 in the
jsame period of last year. The May
exports of gold were the smallest
in the last 12 months, amounting
to $8,000,000, against $45,000,000 !
in April. For the 11 months of
this year, the gold exports were
$461,000,000, against $34,000,000
last year.
N’o important change is shown in
the imports of silver, but the ex
ports in May, amounting to $7,000,
000, were smaller than in any
month for several years. For the
11 months of this year, the silver
exports were $175,000,000, against'
$289,000,000 in the same period of j
last year.

' date labor-saving devices, says the
Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire,
j The latest piece of machinery to
be added by the company is a Hood
I tractor, which is used in the lumber
lyard for the hauling of lumber.
The tractor, while made small to
dodge in and out among the lumber
j piles, is powerful and is proving to
be a great time and money saver.
The finishing touches are now
being put on a new overhead crane
| with a reach of sixty feet. The
'crane can pick up lumber from
j many places in the ward, and hoist
ing it,' set it upon boats or scows
that may be at the face of the dock.
The crane is operated by an electric
hoist and is a powerful piece of
machinery.
A lath mill has recently been
started by the company to use up
lumber that in some cases would
otherwise go to waste. Peter Meyer
is contracting to make the lath.
The mill has a capacity of 8,000
Hath a day.
j The mill is owned by Roy Ruther- j
ford, formerly of Fairbanks.
