Alaska produced about $3,900,
0 worth of gold In 1921. In 1920,
•uteen gold lode mines and five
respects produced $4,473,687
>■: th of gold. This decrease of out

iVr: verance m:ne, near Juneau,
• •:i June 1. Since the beginning of
..ska goid-lode mining this Indus
\ has produced about $100,000,
worth of gold, of which $S0,
000 came froa the large low

Although mining in the Juneau

otably on Admiralty island. The

lie adjacent region. Work was
mtiuued at the Kasaan gold
. in the Ketchikan district. Im
- • ; dvances were made In pros
,-old and silver bearing
lodes of the Salmon Itiver district,1
in the Portland Canal region. Some
small shipments of ore were made
from this district. A little gold
quartz mining was carried on in the
Valdez district of Prince William
sound and in the Hope district of
Kenai peninsula.
The Willow Creek district, tribu
tary to Anchorage, produced about
$100,000 worth of lode gold. Tils
came from seven small mines, many
of which are equipped with mills
more remarkable lor their novelty
than for their efficiency. The lodes
of the district occur in well-defined
fissures traversing dioritic rock.
Most of these veins are remarkably
persisteut. though iome are faulted.
Within these lodes are rich ore
shoots, and mining has been limit
ed to search for and extraction of
the rich ore from these shoots. In
general the lodes hwve not been sys
tematically developed to block out
an ore tonnage, owing to lack of
technical knowledge and of suffi
cient capital for tue work under
taken. As a consequence most of
the mines are bei:ig worked on a
hand-to-mouth basis. l'lans have
been formulated for larger-scale
operations and abcre all for more
systematic explorafon of ore bodies.
The surface indications more than
warraut the careful underground
explorations of the lodes already i
discovered.
Quartz mining at Fairbanks is
still limited to the prospecting of j
small lodes relatively rich in gold.
Inc.dental to this work some gold
ore taken from live or six different I
properties was mined and milled. J
Between $30,000 and $40,000 worth j
of gold was recovered from these
operations. The iargest develop-'
ments were on the Smith & McGlone
property.

basin of fiie upper Knskokwim re
gion. In connection with this de
velopment work some ore carrying
gold, silver and copper was mined
and shipped by river and ocean
boats. The outlook has been found
sufficiently encouraging to justify
the installation of a small reducing
plant, which is now under way.

ENGINEER I..WV SI IT
RELAYING REVEI.OPMENT
George Adams of Atlin. who oper
ates a big hydraulic plant In the
Dease lake district, arrived" on the
train Tuesday from Atlin and left
on the Princes Mary for a hurried
business trip to Vancouver and Se
attle.
Mr. Adams says that the mining
outlook in the Atlin district is very
good but stated that the delay in
getting the Engineer law suit set
tled is holding back development.
The original Engineer Mining Co.
have perfected their appeal and Mr.
Adams said that even if they should
lose in the Privy Council there is
another court of resort, which is tho
last oue.
This court, said Mr. Adams, Is
composed of the King of England,
the Mayor of Linccin and that they
chose a third, and their decision is
final.
Mr. Adams will continue opera
tions on his property in Dease lake
district and expects to take out a
large amount of gold next year.

THE TEACHER
I deal with the most potent, the I
most elusive, the most interesting j
thing in the wojld—the human
mind.
Without me there would be no
progress; future generations would
relapse into savagery: civlliiatlon
would perish from the earth.
Of all the professions mine is the
least paid in money and the most
richly rewarded in satisfaction.
I am soon forgotten because what j
1 achieve is written not with ink on
paper, but in human lives.
1 am a builder, but I do not build
bridges. 1 build the builder of
bridges.
I am often unpopular because I
must try to please so many people.
My work is often undervalued be
cause it is not understood.
The beginning of my work Is serv
ice; the essence of my work Is serv
ice; the reward of my work Is serv
ice.
I am the teacher.—Connecticut

San Francisco, CaUIornia.
Charley Anderson went south on
the Princess Mary yesterday, having
come out from Mayo, where he owns
a number of good locations. Mr.
Anderson is enthusiastic over the
outlook and will be back early in
order to open up some of his pros
pects.
