“HURRAH FOR BOB!”
A report, via the snow-shoe
1 wireless, dated at Anchorage,
Alaska, U. S. A- is to the effect
; that Bob Bragaw, popular An
chorage business man, is being
groomed for the Territorial leg
islature. If he chooses to run it
I is the prediction of many that
he will win in a walk.

n ^rpvndn and Mr'v,f’or,n but, fr>l- j
owing this there was a recession to |

CPIPPIE RT- FACTOR
From 1892 to 1900 there was a re
markable increase in production i
which almost, eouded the riQe oc
casioned bv the discovery of gold in 1
California in 1S48 Damg this per
iod voarlv production moron s^d 140
percent: it »mounted tn 3 Ran run
oirnces in iqoo due largely to the
tfi*cov»»rv of the fomui n^n^e
Creek deDOsits of Colorado and the
introduction of the evanid** nr',pp'' 1
th*" *•'■**'* i-C^P--e ;
the production of Transvaal sur- :
poicq^d f.ho.t f'f the U 1 tf'i States in .
1898 and 1899 but fell below it eg-in
in 1900 to 1904 as a result of the
Boer War.
There was a general but some
what irregular increase in produc
tion in the United States from 1900
to 1015. as the deposits of Alaska,
Goldfield, and Tonopah were devel
oped. The peak production of the
United States was made in 1915,;
when 4.823,672 ouces of gold was (
produced; but maximum five- ;
year period production was from j
1906 to 1910, when yearly produc- |
tion averaged nearly 4,600,000 j
ounces, 22 percent of the world |
totol. 1
As a result of inflation during 1
and immediately after the World
War re ulting in a decline in the
relative value of gold, production
dropped *50 percent for the period
1915 to 1920. Since 1920 there has
been a tendency to further decrease
in production, altho it is not as
marked as in the preceding period.
From 1921 to 1925 the average an
nual output was 2,369,000 ounces, 14
percent of the world total, as com
pared with an average of 4.557,000
ounces in 1911 to 1915. The 1927
output was 2 117.000 ounces, 11 per
cent of the world total.
The principal districts from
which gold, is now produced in the
United States are the Whitewood
district, S. Dak.; the Marysville,
Oroville, Folsom, Grass Valley and
Jackson districts, California; the
Cripple Creek, Eureka, San Miguel
and California districts, Colo.; the
; West Mountain (Bingham Canyon)
Tintic and Park City districts, Utah;
the Verde, Warren and Ajo dis
tricts, Ariz.; the Robinson, Jar
bridge. Tonopah and Comstock dis
tricts, Nev„; the Southeastern dis
trict, Seward Peninsula and Yukon
Basin, Alaska; and the Summet
Valley (Butte) Mont.
