* MAY BREAK RECORD OF PAST
DECADE; BIG GAIN MADE IN
FIRST NINE MONTHS
Alaska is apparently going to
have the biggest gold and silver
output this year that it has turned
out in a single year for a decade.
It should top last year’s output
by not less than $750,000 and may
exceed that.
This was revealed with the an
nouncement in the Juneau Empire
that the shipment of these metals
for the first 9 months of 1929 ag
^ gregated $4,291,862. This is $606,857
in excess of similar shipments for
the same period last year.
If the rate of increase to date
continues to the end of the year,
the total production may reach
S8.000.000 and should not fall below
S7 500.000. It is 10 years since do
mestic gold and silver shipments
from the Territory reached the
former figure. Since 1917 it has
± ranged from about $5,000,000 to as
high as $7,500,000 but not since 19‘?2
has it attained the latter sum..
The increases this year are main
ly in the 2nd and 4th division
coming from the operations of the
dredges at Nome and Fairbanks.
The First Division, which has pro
duced more than 50 < ' of the
total as usual this year, and the
Third each gained a few thousand.
The production by Division for
the first nine months of 1929 and
1928 as shown by Custom House
figures follows;
1928 1929
First division $2.464332 $2,472,037
2nd Division $297,206 $606. 083
Third Division $223,125 $226,219
Fourth Division $666,342 $957,423
Total $3,651,005 $4,261,832
September shipments v/re the
largest so far this year, aggregating
$801,741 as compared to $414,097.
^ Increases from the First and Sec
ond Divisions accounted for the
gain, the former jumping from
$186,204 to $342,632 and the latter
from $1,720 to $219,658.
