Philip S. Smith, the noted miner
clogist who is so highly regarded
in all sections of Alaska, has pre
pared some interesting notes from
“Mineral industry in Alaska for
1931,” which has just been issued
by the U. S. Geological Survey. He'
shows that for the last year the
mineral production was S12,278,000,,
of which amount $9,507,000 was;
gold, an increase over the 1930 out
put of $8,476,000. The placer gold!
was approximately the same in;
both years. Hundreds of camps con- j
tributed to the output, but those in
the Yukon Basin contributed the
greatest amount, and those in the
Seward Peninslua came next. More
than 77 per cent of the total pla
cer production of the Territory was
mined by dredges, of which 28 were
active during 1931—13 in camps of
the Yukon Valley, 14 in Seward
Peninsula, and one in the Kusko
kwim Valley.
Together these dredges produced
gold to the value of $3,749,000. They
are estimated to have handled
about 10.214,000 cubic yards of gra
vel, and the gold recovered was
worth about 36.7 cents a cubic
yard. No new dredges were built
during the year, but five old
dredges that had been idle for
some time were reconstructed and
again active in 1931- Four dredges
that were active in 1930 were idle
during the year.
The output of copper in 1931 was
22,614,000 pounds or nearly 10,000,
000 pounds less than in 1930 and its
value was nearly $2,637,000 less
than in 1930. Practically the whole
of the Alaska copper comes from
two mines operated by the Kenne
cott Copper Corporation, both of
which are in the Copper River sec
tion. The ore from the properties
in the Copper River region is large
ly high-grade copper sulphide and
carbonate. All the Alaska copper
is shipped to the States for smelt
ing.

j NEW YORK, July 19, —A torn
i ligament Monday forced Babe Ruth
to leave the Yankee White Sox
game on a vacation that is expect

to again take his place in right
field.
Babe was injured when he at
tempted to field a short fly from

, is the second misfortune that has
hit the Yankees in the past few
, weeks. The other was the 30-day
