Seward, Alaska, January 23, 1914
Alfred H. Brooks of the Geological
Survey,say s;“Thereare several reasons
for the decrease of over $3,500,000 in
the value of Alaska’s mineral output
as compared with the previous year.
The most important of these is the]
condition of the placer mining indus
try which, in *pite of the advances
made in lode mining, still furnishes
two-thirds of the gold output. Less
than forty per cent of the placer gold
is produced by large plants, the bal
ance being still won from ^fbe rich
gravels that can be profitably mined]
by hand methods. Therefore, marked j
fluctuations in the placer gold output i
is inevitable, due to exhaustion of j
bonanzas, on one hand, and the dis-j
covery of new district, on the other.
Moreover, these small operations are
far more dependent on the local water
supply than are the large plants.
Voder such conditions no stability of
placer gold produclion is to be expect
ed. The exceptionally dry summer of
1913, and the fact that the bonanza de
posits of Fairbanks district have in a
large measure been exhausted account
for the decrease in gold output. There
is, however, no shortage of auriferous
gravels, but only of deposits which
can be mined uuder the present high
cost of operation.
Some of the brighest, most piquant
faces we ever beheld were covered ‘
with freckles. One brilliant young,
lady whom we knew’ in our youth, and
who was a leading belle in an Eastern j
city for many seasons, used to declare
that her freckles wrere a valuable ad- j
juct to her personal appearance, and
that without them she wonld be be- j
reft of half her power to charm.
There,s spots on the sun; why should
there not be spots on the daughters?
