j er output in the future,
j In the Nabesna district the mine
! of the Nabesna Mining Corporation
began active production during 1931
and appears to have had a suc
cessful season. A unique feature
of the operations at this place was
that considerable amounts of the
concentrates were sent by airplane
from the mine to a point where
more usual means of transporta
tion was available.
Several other lode gold mines
widely scattered through the Terri
tory yielded some gold. The most
| productive of these were the Sonny
Fox mine in the Nuka Bay district,
the Lucky Strike mine on Palmer
Creek in the Hope district, and the
old Pearson & Strand mine in the
Nixon Fork district of the Kuskok
wim Valley.
j Prospecting was also active at a
! number of other points, and some
j of the properties have reached a
stage where they will enter the list
of producers shortly. Probably the
most notable example of this class
is the property of the Eva Quartz
Mining Company, near Ferry,
which has blocked out a consider
able amount of ore and before the
close of 1931 should have completed
the erection and testing of its mill,
which was purchased and shipped
in during the late summer.
The value of the gold recovered
from Alaska placers in 1931 is es
timated to have been $4,06,000, or
about $130,000 less than was re
covered from mines of this type in
1930. This comparison should not
be interpreted as indicating a great
fallng off of placer mining as a
whole, because the output of 1930
was especially large.
By far the largest amount of
placer gold came from the Yukon
region, with the Seward Peninsula
region second. The other placer
mining regions together contributed
less than one-tenth of the entire
placer gold output of the Terri- :
tory, and in order of their placer j
production stood as follows: Kus-;
kokwim, Copper River, Cook Inlet
Susitna, Northwestern Alaska, and
Southeastern Alaska.
The largest producer in the Yu
kon region was the Fairbanks Ex
ploration Company, and the largest
one in the Seward Peninsula region
| was the Hammon Consoldated Gold
1 Fields at Nome. Throughout most
|of the placer camps the weather
conditions which affect mining,
such as plentiful water supply, w'ere j
| somewhat adverse, as in the early
| part of the season there was only
; a small rainfall, so that the water
, supply in many of the camps was
inadequate for sluicing. The length
of the working season, however,
was about normal.
Most of the placer gold is now
recovered by dredging, the more
primitive hand methods, and the
use of the simpler mechanical
methods having largely disappear-,
ed, except in the more remote dis
tricts. It appears that about 79
per cent of the placer gold that
was redqvered in 1931 was pro
methods by dredges, which ratio
compares with 1930, when about 81

per cent of the placer gold was re
covered by dredges.
So far as reported, 27 dredges
were in operation in 1931, which is
the same number as were in opera
tion in 1930. The dredges in op
eration, however, had a somewhat
different distribution than in the
previous year, which was brought
about by the suspensions of opera
tions at the property of the Tanana
Valley Gold Dredging Company
(Ltd.), in the Fairbanks district,
and of the Osborn Mining Com
pany, in the Nome district, and
the reopening of operations at the
property of the New York Alaska
Gold Dredging Corporation, at Bear
Creek, in the Kuskokwim Valley,
and at the claims near Henry
Creek, in the Kougarok district in
Seward Peninsula.
The American Creek Dredging
i Company, in the Hot Springs dis
trict, in the Tanana Valley, which
j was idle n 1930, was operated a few
| hours in 1931, but it was running
| so short a time that it has not been
(included in the number of operat
| ing dredges. The two largest plac
I er mining companies, mentioned in
I the preceding paragraph, recovered
i ther gold by means of dredges.
No notable new finds of placer
; ground were made during the year,
| but prospecting was in progress at
i a number of places, some of which
are rather remote from the more

productive camps. According to re
ports from some of these campg.
the work was proceeding satisfac
torily and though not indicating
the presence of bonanzas, suggests
that they may contain placer de
posits that may be capable of prot -
itable development.
