DEPRESSION’S EFFECTS
i FEET IN mi FOR
FUST TIE LIST YEIR
I
For the first time in a decade,
Alaska felt the effects of depres
sion in the fiscal year ending June
30, last, and these are accurately
depicted in the conservatively
written annual report of Governor
George A. Parks to Ray Lyman
Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior.
This document was released for
publication by the Interior Depart
ment.
Only gold mining escaped un
scathed. It benefitted from the
worldwide depression and the Gov
ernor depicted greater activity in
the next few years, saying: “The
outlook for an increased produc
; tion is most encouraging and un
' less conditions change it is almost
certain that many gold prospects
; that have been abandoned for
^ years will be placed on a produe
’ tion basis in the near future.”
“Economic conditions in Alaska,”
1 said the Governor’s report, “are de
! pendent on the major industries—
’ mining and fishing. An analysis
; of the reports for the year ending
June 30, 1931, reveals a decline in
1 the total value of the products that
were derived from these sources
^ as compared with that of last year.
The production of gold increased
approximately $1,500,000, but all
■ other mine products declined, and
’ the total value of the mineral out
put is some $3,000,000 below that
' of the previous year.
“The quantity of the fisheries
, products compares favorably with
| the production of other years but
1 the value of these products is much
I below normal. The decline in the
| value of these commodities is re
| fleeted in the trade statistics,
i “The balance of trade in favor
I of Alaska for the period ending
* June 30, 1931, is $30,980,670, and
| this is about $6,000,000 less than
i for the last fiscal year.
I “Early in the year prices in the
| markets for fish and copper caused
* the producers of these commodities
to curtail their output and as a re
; suit fewer people were employed in
> these industries. Many independ
! ent fishermen and a number of
j miners were deprived of their usual
[ work, consequently there are more
i than the average number of unem
! ployed in nearly every locality.”
| The value of imports and ex
j ports declined $12,171,081. The loss
! in exports was accounted for by
| the lower values of copper ore, sal
! man, silver and fur. The total
1 value of exports vras $56,818,375 and
[ of the imports $25,837,703.

FOUND OPTIMISM
W. K. Keller, Territorial Commis
sioner of Education, spoke briefly
and interestingly before the Cor
dova Chamber of Commerce recent
ly on his trip through the Terri
tory, and said that he found opti
mism on every hand and in every
section, with the small gold pro
ducer particularly optimistic and
trappers encouraged in the recent
advances in fur prices. He de
clared that the schools were pro
gressing steadily and that all in all
the Territory looked very sugstan
tial and progressive, ireports the
Cordova Times.
