DETAILED REPORT OF MINERAL
OUTPUT TERRITORY BY
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Mines in Alaska produced $18,220,
692 worth of minerals in 1925, as
against $17,457,333 worth in 1924, ac
cording to an announcement made at
the Interior Department today thru
the Geological Survey. The total value
of the mineral output of the Territory
since 18S0 is $553,304,968.
In spite of the gradual exhaustion
of the richer gold-placer deposits, the
gold output in 1925 was greater than
in 1924, just as the output of 1924 was
greater than that of 1823, according to
the figures of the Geological Survey.
Placer mines produced less gold in
1925 than in 1924, but this decrease
was more than made up by the in
creased production of the gold lodes,
which now yield almost as much as
the placers.
The production of placer gold from
the vicinity of Fairbanks and from
the Seward Peninsula was reduced to
some extent as a result of negotia
tions and preparation for more active
future work by some of the principal
operators. Extensive preparations for
future mining is being made at Fair
banks and will not be completed for
at least two years. As a result of
economies and improvements in min
ing in these two regions, it seems
probable that the production of placer
gold will be established if not in- j
creased. It is of interest to note that j
the production from dredges in 1925 j
was greater than in 1924.
Increase in the value of the mineral
output of Alaska in 1925, as in 1924,
resulted largely from the increase in
the value of copper and took place in
spite of the fact that less copper was
produced in 1925 than in 1924.
