Brought Tennessee back into sight.

MINERALS OF ,
ALASKA DURING
THE PAST YEAR
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. — In 1!)17
Alaska produced minerals valued at
.811,700,000. rhtse are the advance I
figures issued by the United States
leoloJt'ical Survey. Oepartment of the
Interior; and are based m estimates
made.s by (I. C. .Martin. The value
of th« mineral output < f Alaska in
1017, although about -6,870,000 h*>s
than in 1016, was greater than that
in any other year. The most valuable
mineral product in * 1>17 was copper,
of which ss,^00,000 pounds, value ! :.t
.S21,00b,(MH), was produced. This is
less than the output of :P1(>, which
va 1 l:\d00.000 pou ids valued at ij>20,
180,000, but is greater than that of
any other year. The reduction is due
largely to laboi troubles and is no*
necessarily permanent. The gold pro
duced in 1017, >1.7,4f>0,000, of which
80,''70.000 was derived from placer i
mines, was also less thar. that produc-;
| td in 11 d. which was $17,240,000, nr. *!
is the smallest value since 1004. The I
reduction was due chiefly to cucftv!!
»nent operations because of the j
scarcity ol labor and the high cost of;
materials, but in part to the ensaste:
at the Tieadwell mins, and the deple-j
tion of the richer placers.
During the year Alaska also pro
1 duced silver, valued a» ?! ,050,000;«
1 coal valued at $300,000* Dud, vV’a'ej
at >160.000; tin valued at $120,000;;
antimeny valued at $4,000, and tu »g.*-|
ten, chromium, petmleum, marble,»
gypsum, g>aphitc, and platinum vn!-:
i ued at $600,000.
During 33 years of mining Alo'Va
has produced nore than $.“>01,000,000;
| in gold, silver, copper and other min-’
1 orals. Of this amount $293,000,000
represents the value of the gold, and
$88,200,000 that of the copper. |

A severe snow storm and blizzard
hit the interior north of Mile 51 early
yesterday afternooon and at noon to- •
day was still raging. The storm swept!
along the divide from the Prince Wil-j
liam Sound region and hit along the j
railroad at Mile 51 continuing through'
to Anchorage and directly into the'
interior. The snow is wet and heavy.
The party of Alaskan Engineering
Commission men, headed by F. H. j
Hansen were ten hours, with four t
dog teams making it from Mile 71 to
Mile <>S. At the latter place there'
was a lull in the storm and the party
headed for Mile 54 reaching there
early‘this morning. At 10 o’clock this
morning the party left Mile 54 forj
Mile 52 and then started from tho lat
ter place to the special train waiting
to bring them into Seward. The spe
cial train, consisting of a locomotive
and the private car, had a hard time
during the night battling with the
snow drifts but made the distance fi
nally and picked up the railroad par-,
ty this forenoon and started toward
Seward bucking the drifts success
fully. The special will arrive here
late this afternoon, it is expected,
landing the Anchorage party in time;
to catch the Alaska for the south.
The storm in the interior was not
felt in Seward.
