I
Alaska's Output
We are running today a portion
of the advance statement given out
by the ~U. S. Geological Survey of
the department of the interior,
which has been sent to the press of
Alaska.
The statement will be continued
from issue to issue as it is too long
for one insertion:
The most Important event of the
year to the future of the mining in
dustry was the practical completion
of the Alaska ra.lroad tthe govern
ment line*. There only remains the
bridge at Riley Creek to be built this
winter to give a tiain service from
Seward to Fairbanks, except for the
transfer across Tai.dna river at Xe
nana. The building of road in Al
aska was expedited during the year,
so far as the funds available per
mitted. There is good reason to be
lieve that the ocean transport serv
ice to Alaska is soi.n to he improv
ed. These betterments of means of
communication are the most valu
able local factors in promoting the
revival of Alaska mining.
The dominant features of the
year's mining are: < 11 the decrease
of both copper production and de
velopment. owing 10 the low price
of the metal: 12• 'he closing of the
Perseverance tn:ne. one of the three
auriferous lode trlnes at Juneau;
(3) continuation of activity in au
riferous quartz pr ispecting in the
Sitka. Juneau. Salmon River and
Willow Creek districts; (41 a re
vival of placer miring: (5i contin
uation of systematic prospecting for
coal in the Matatiuska field by the
naval coal commission: (6) the
1 many examinations made in Alaska
1 petroleum fields by oil companies.
' with the purpose if drilling. The
discovery of a locality of galena ami
other sulphide deposits In the Kan
tishna district is worthy of special
note.
(•iilcnn 1 )i»posit > in KuntfslinH
District
The Kantishna district, just north
of Mount McKinley, has long been
the scene of a little placer mining,
as wall as of small developments o(
gold and silver bearing lodes. Twc
years ago a galena deposit was open
ed up. and since then about 1.100
tons of ore lias been shipped. The
district is about 50 to 70 miles west
of the Alaska railroal. but it has
no road connection with that line,
and the ore had to be transported
by horse sleds to Kantishna river
and thence by small steamers to the
Tanana. This method of transpor
tation was so expensive that only
the richest ore would stand ship
ment. Therefore the galena ore
was hand picked, the grade of ship
ments being thus brought to an
average of about 1S2 ounces of sil
ver and $3.20 in gold to the ton. in
addition to the lead and some cop
per. The lode from which this ore
came and others at near-by localities
are at or near Eureka creek. The
deposits lie in well-defined fissures
traversing schistose rocks and are
associated with granite intrusives
Some of the ore bodies are S to 15
feet wide, but the rich galena is in
shoots from 6 inchns to 2H feet in
width. Gold-bearing quartz veins
of similar type are also found in
this part of the district, as well as
some . deposits of Antimony (stib
nite). The few openings made in
dicate that the lodes are fairly per
sistent along the stTike.

Editor Whitehorse Star,
Whitehorse. Y T.
Dear Sir:—
In your issue of December 2nd.
you print the following
"Coates & Kar.uer broke all
pervious mail records for the
mail run from Dawson on this
the last mail that came in Just
three days and sixteen hours
was required by them for the
long trip.
"One oldtimer sa d. '1 have
been here for 21 years and I
have never seen «bat time made
before." The occasion for the
rush was that the election bal
lot boxes were it. the mail and
they had to reach here within
a certain time so that the wor
thy citizens might vote "
You have been misinformed and
the time of three days and sixteen
hours is no record. It was beaten
nearly twenty-two years ago by dog
teams, taveling over the old river
route that followea the river prac
tically all the way from Dawson to
Carmacks. then overland to Le
Barge and from there to White
horse by lake and river. The time
made by the special dog team trip
:n the arlv part of 1900 was three
days and twelve hours and they had
fifty miles further to go than the
present trail.
The time of thn.<* days and six
teen hours has also been beaten
over the old river trail with horses
Supt. Pulham a:.d driver Jeffer
son came out in a few minutes under
three days and twt.'re hours during
the winter of 1901 and 1902.
Since the overland trail was built
many stages have made better time
from Dawson to 'RTiitehorse than
three days and sixteen hours and
used horses all t"ae way. From
Whiteliorse to Dawson the trip has
been made with horses all the way
in three days flat.
If you want to figure out the fast
est mail record 1 think the aero
planes brought up a mail in about
I three hours, but it !s hardly fair to
I compare an aeroplane with an auto
J mobile, or an automobile with a dog
team.
I Tell them to use bone and muscle
all the way and try again.
Yours truly.
