occurred, the Str. Bertha had already

MINING IN AI. ASK A IN 1911
The following is :i Preliminary
Statement by the I'nited tates Geo
logical Survey: “The value of tlu
total mineral output of Alaska in 101 1
is estimated at #2o,37o,o<x>, compared
with #16,.883,678 in 19m. '1 he gold
output in 1911 is estimated to have a
value of #17,150,000; that of 1910 was
#16,126,749. It is estimated that the
Alaska mines produce 2,900,000
pounds of copper in 1911, valued bt
about #2,830,000; i**i *9*0 their output
was 4,241,688 pounds, valued at $538,
695. The silver production in 1911 is
estimated to have a value of $220,000,
compared with $85,236 for 1910. Tin
value of all other mineral product:
in 1911, including tin, marble, gyp
sum. and coal, was about $170,000, an
increase over that of 1910.
by using the above estimates for
the output of 1911, the total value of
Alaska's mineral production since
1880, when mining first began, is
found to be, in round numbers, 2t/>,
3oo,ooo, of which 195,950,0**0 is rep
resented by the value of the gold out
put. The total production of coppei
in M.iska since 1901, when systematic
mining of this metal begi.n, is about
56,700,000 pounds, valued at ubout
$S, 170,000."
