ALASKA MINING NOTES
Bonanza mining*, always the first
to be developed in a new land, is a
most powerful agency in attracting
population, in forming communities,
and in establishing transportation sys
tems. Such mining will continue for
the known bonanza deposits in Alaska
have been by no means exhausted, and
there is a good prospect of finding
others. A stable and permanent min
ing industry can not, however, > be
founded on the exploitation of only
the very rich ore bodies. Permanency
mast be based on the development of
the larger deposits of lesser unit
value. Such development depends for
its profits not so much on the richness
of the ore as on economies made pos
sible by the magnitude of the opera
tions. Large mining operations can not
be successful at places that are serv
ed only by the haphazard and expen
sive means of transportation generally
available on the frontier. The passage
from bonanza mining to a stable and
pmfnnwnt industry has naturally tak
en place in all mineral-bearing regions
aket has long been under Way in the
sittmihlTi costs! region of Alaska, but
the great mineral wea-th of the inter
im.remain* practically untouched ex
cept by tike bonanza minor
Urn minerals won from the large
low-grade ore bodies of Alaska have
a total estimated value of $105,000,
00T most of it in gold, the remainder
inducting the value of copper and oth
er mineral*

put of (1) surferous lodes, whose gold
I and silver contents is valued at les*
j than $2.50 a ton,(2) copper ores con
j taining an averag of not more than
3 per cent of copper, (3) placers hav
ing gold content worth less than 76
cents to the cubic yard, and (4) mar
ble and gypsum of southeastern Alas
ka. The output of the low-grade de
i
posits has come mainly from the gold
mines of Juneau, but it also includes
the product of some of the larger cop
per mines of Ketchikan and Prince
vVilliam Sound and a large part of the
gold recovered by dredging in Seward
Peninsula. All the low-grade deposits
thus far developed are at or near tide
water and have therefore not had to
bear the high cost of land transporta
tion, whidfccan be borne only by bon
anza deposits. Many mineral deposits
* • ''
of low grade are known in Alaska,
and the prospect of finding others is
good j. \
The exploitation of targe mineral
deposits of low tenor yields only a
small profit per ton, but under normal
industrial conditions this disadvantage
is offset by the large tonnage pro
duced. Under the present high operat
ing costs and relatively low market
value of mineral products the profits
on certain operations are entirely
swept away, so that during the last
two years there has been no great
incentive, to this form oi mining in
Alaska, and but few large mining ven
tures have been undertaken.

posed to the enactment of a law to re
}j :ve the debilitated condition in which
A'askan gold miners find themselves.

If the two steamship companies do:
In; business in Alaska cannot .work
out some s:heme of co-operation, there
appears only one thing that will bring
about a proper development of the
territory and that is for the govern
ment to place a line of steamships on
Uio Alaska run and operate them at
a. loss if necessary. If this is done,
and a fairly liberal policy adopted,
business will revive as soon as condi
tions become noimal in the States.
This opinion is expressed by John
Barton Payne, secretary of the inter
ior, just made public, G°v* Thomas
Riggs, Jr., of Alaskardibes not concur
in the opinion,-but expresses the be
lie? that the imposition of a tonnage
tax on all vessels operating in Alask
an waters would solve the northern
transportation muddle, which, it is
generally admitted, is paralysing the
ievelopment of the country.
Secretary Payne does not indorse
the Lane plan to create a governing
board to take full tharge of Alaska.
2e believes that better results will be
obtained through a committee, con
sisting of a representative of each de
partment having charge of affairs in
Alaska, and accordingly has named
such a body.
