The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining
Company has closed the most
striking year in its long history,
making new records in production,
gross returns and net profits, and
prosecuting successfully the expan -
sion development program an
nounced a year ago. This was re
vealed in a review of the year’s
operations issued in the Jijneau
Empire by General Superintend
ent L. H. Metzgar.
The company’s gross production
for the 12-month period of 1931
was estimated by Mr. Metgzar at
$3,730,000, and the net profits, be
fore depletion and depreciation de
ductions, at $1,400,000. Both fig
ures mark new high records for the
Juneau operations.
The former high profit figure
was set in 1929 when about $1,
100.000 was earned. Last year it
was placed at about $1,000,000. The
production last year was approxi
mately $330,000 in excess of the
1930 output which was reported to
be $3,400,000.
There was a substantial increase
in the tonnage handled out of the
mine and ore milled, Mr. Metzgar’s
statement showed. The tramroad
in 1931 hauled 4,130,000 tons of ore
out of the mine compared to 3,
840.000 toils in 1930. The mill treat
ed 2,295,000 tons of the former
amount, the remainder going to
the waste dump. The milled ton
nage in 1930 was 2.000,000 tons.
Juneau expenditures incidental to
operations showed a corresponding
increase to operating results. The
total of ail Juneau expenditures;
was $1,880,000, or $280,GOO more
than was spent in 1930. Of this
sum, $1,314,000' represented pay- j
rolls and bonus payments.
Tiie company played an import- 1
ant part during the year in taking
up some of the unemployment
slack, it was disclosed in its em
ployment lists. Its average for the
year was 665 men working every
day in the year. This was an av
erage of 30 more per day than
were employed in 1830.
WANTS IMPROVE STREETS
A measure recently by Judge j
Wickersham seeks to grant to Ju
neau authority to expend the pro
ceeds from the sewer bond issue
on the construction of permanent <
streets, says the Juneau Empire, j
OPPOSITION LOOMS

| Delegate to Congress was reported
in Juneau recently by Interior resi

that he has conditionally con
