I ATLSN
MINERS
Among the recent "vrrivaia iu
Skagway is James Slark, an old tim
er of Atlin city and well known
throughout tne Atlin mining coun
try. Mr. Clark is in Skgaway recu
perating from a protracted illness
and in the fine clmate of this city
its recovering nicely.
Atlia miners bave recently re
ceived a big boost from the gov
ernment, according to Mr. Clark.
Men working on Spruce creek re
ceived word from F. H. Mobley,
member of Parliament and repre-,
sentative for 'he Atlin district, that
the latter has succeeded in raising
sufficient money from the govern
ment *o assist them in putting in
the much needed bed rock drain. As
this is an expensive piece of work
it is almost prohibitive for the
miners themselves to do.
This drain will open about two
miles of Spruce creek and give all
the individual miners a show to
w,ork the ground that otherwise
.would be impossible. As the stream
bed is considered rich in gold, it
is thought the next season will Bee
a great deal of increased work in
tae Atlia vicinity. i .;

A letter from Mr-3. C. T. Hatcher,
president or Hie Alaska W. C. T. U.,
and who j-epre&euted Alaska ftt the
recent national convention held
in Washington, D, C., says ioi part:
"Our .National W. C. T. U. Coo
vention, held iu Washington, Dec.
2-7, at which i represented out ter
ritorial Uniou, was tne largest and
most significent in our organiza
tion history. An. unusual number
of distinguished speakers, and ome
very beautiful spectacular features
conveyed to th? immense audience9
the remarkable growth iu prohibi
tion territory and prohbiitlon Beu,ti
ment. Twenty-seven Statea aiid
the Territories of Alaska and Porto
Hico, portrayed by that number of
•young women in white, with a beau
tiful Goddess of Liberty represent
ing the dry District of Columbia,
created the greates* ei.thusiasm^ This
year, as last, your president was
delegated by the Official Board to
call the Honor Roll of the prohibi
tion states at the close of the
President's Address, which
\vas followed by a great demosntra*
tion of enthusiasm, the delegates
singing repeatedly, "The Natior's
doing Dry."
"AiasKu was not on mo pro
gram of Recognition Night this
year, for we lust in. membership;
and we lost the "Union Signal" ban
ner we have leld for two years, to
little Nevada. 1 am sure that if
you had been there you would have
resolved, as i did, to make up our
membership losses next year. How
ever, we attajued the goal get for
increase in L. X. L. membership, ant
I have the prize, a beautiful pin,
to award to the Legion that "Holds
and Gains" next year.
"Our Convention was followed im
mediately by tuose of the Anti
Saloon League, the Woman's Coun.
cil, and the National Suffrage Ass'n
and 1 remained in Washington foi
all these meetings, so full of in
terest and kindred aini3. The cul
mination came on Dee. 17, when
(. ongress voted to submit to 'h«
States a Prohibition Amendment to
the Constitution.
"The air *s electric these days
in Washington. Naturally, the
war, which jve lealize but dimly in
Alaska, overshadows all other in
terests. The streets of the
Capital City are thronged with, men
in khaki and in blue ,and one ha
frequently awakened In the morning
by the trajnp or marching troops.
Women are a it work everywhere,
and there is need of many more."

MINERAL PRODUCTION' OF ALAS
, KA IN 1017 OVER !jUl,000,000
i
i In 1917 Alaska produced miner
als valued at $41,760,000. These
a>re the advance figures issued by
Uiq United States Geological Sur
vey;, Department of the Interior, and
are based on 'jstimates made by
G. C. Martin. The value of the
mineral output of Alaska in 1917,
although about $6,870,000 less than
that in 1916, was greater than that
iu any other year. The most val
uable mineral product in 1917 was
copper, of wMch 88,200,000
pounds, valued at $24,000,000 was
produced. This is less than,
the output of 1916, which was
119,600,000 pounds, valued at $29,
j 480,000, but is greater than that
of any other year. The reduction
is due largely to labor troubles
and is not necessarily permanent.
The gold produced in 1917, $15,
450,000, of which. $9,850,000 was
derived from placer mines, was al
so legs than that produced in.
1916, which was $17,240,000, and
is the smallest since 1904. The re
duction was due chiefly to curtail
ment of operations because of the
scarcity of labor and the high
cost of materials, but in part to
the disaster st the Treadwell mine
and the depletion of «onie of the
.richer placers.
I During the Year Alaska also pro
duced silver valued at $1,050,000,
Icoai valued at $300,000, lead val
l.ued at $100,000, tin valued at
| $100,000, antimony valued at $40,
' 000, and tungsten, chromium, pe
troleum, marble, gypsum, graphite,
and platinum valued at $600,000.
During 33 years of mining Alas
ka has produced more than $391,
000,000 in gold, silver, copper, aud
other minerals. Of this amount
$293,000,000 represents the value
of the gold, end $88,200,000 that
of the copper.
