ALASKA RECORD
i ON IMPORTS AND
i EXPORTS SOARS
| Customs Office Records
Show Gain Over 1915
of $37,000,000
The annual report of John F. Pugh,
i tlie collector of customs for Alaska,
has just been received after having
been compiled by the officers of the
local office and shows that the total
value of the exports and imports be
tween Alaska and the United States
and Canada reached the highest point
in the history of transportation to the
territory and evceeded the value of
1915 in imports and exports over
$37,000,000.
The value of the exports and im
ports, according to the report,
amounted to exactly $119,937,443, as
compared with $82,874,122 last year,
and $55,012,212 in 1910. The value
of the imports to Alaska for the year
1916 amounted to $35,314,993 while
the exports amounted to $84,622,450.
The value of the gold and silver
produced in Alaska and shipped to the
United States amounted to $16,332,
117. This was distributed between
the four judicial divisions as follows:
First $5,638,387; Second $3,035,631;
Third, $1,523,206, and Fourth, $6,
134,893. The copper ore shipped
fro mthe territory during the year
amounted to 135,289,219 pounds,
valued at $35,534,039. The next
largest item of value of production
from the territory was canned sal
mon which amounted to 237,764,310
poundn with a value of $21,533,113.
During the year 1015 the value of
the salmon shipped from the terri
tory was $17,802,377, while the cop
per ore was valued at $12,35-1,163.
The largest previous year’s exports of
canned salmon was in 1014 when the
production reached a value of $17,
006,215.
The increase of the value of the
copper production of the territory is
shown in a comparative table which
shows that in 1013 copper valued at
$3,765,132 was shipped; i:i 1014 it
amounted to $3,365,342, and in 1015
it jumped to $12,354,163. The exports
for the year 1916 amounted to alrio;.:
twice as much as all three years com
bined.
Another interesting phase of the re
port is the movenest of the pussen- j
gers on the vessels operating to and
from Alaska. The total arrivals in
the territory from the south and from
Canada were 28,606 while the de
partures were 26,859. The arrivals at
Eagle from Yukon territory down the
Yukon amounted to 1,182 while the
departures were 727, showing that the
population is on the constant increase.
The report is one of the most com
prehensive ever issued as it deals with
many phases of the business of Al
aska and touches on many things
which have never been before incor
porated in any report. The compara
tive tables in the report are most
comprehensive.
