GOLD PRODUCTION
MUCH GREATER
The Output of Seward Peninsula
!» '
Nearly Half Million Leas for
Year 1H1
The g«>ld produced in Seward
Peninsula, Alaska, for I9II, had
n value of 83,100,000 compared
with the figures for 1910. This
falling ofT, according to P. S.
Smith, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, is attributable to
(hive main causoH: First, a de
crease in the winter mining; sec
ond, a general decrea.se in the
number of mining operations, ex
cept dredging; and third, the
handling of low-grade material.
All these causes may be referred

Chicago, Aug. C.-At a confer
ence held last evening among the
leaders of the Nalional Progres
sives it was practically agreed up
on that Iliram Johnson, governor
of California, should be the
party's nominee for vice-presi
dent. there being no Southern man
available. Johnson will accept the
nomination. Politicians here be
lieve that the nomination of John
son will go far toward driving the
La Kollette followers over to
Wilson, as the man from the Pa
cific coast state is thoroughly dis
liked by the senator from Wis
consin. whom he forsook during
the primary campaign.
Chicago. Aug. (>.-Roosevelt has
forced the negro delegates out of
the convention, when orders were
issued by the officers of the Na
lional Colored Association, num
bering 400,000 members, to quit
the party tight for Hoo^evelt.
Chicago, Aug. ft .-J a me* Wick
crsham and O. P. Hubbard, of
Alaska, were seated as delegates,
the convention itself deciding that
the territory had a right to vote.
Chicago. Aug. 6.-II is likely that
Ex-Senator Beveridge will contin
ue as chairman of the convention.
Chicago, Aug. ft.-Col. lloosevelt
appeared on the platform in the
convention hall at 12:15 and was
received with a demonstration of
cheering and hand-clapping last
ing 45 minutes. When Chairman
Beveridge had restored order he
introduced Col. Roosevelt, who
immediately launched into his
speech. After complimenting the
convention and thanking his
friends who stood by him so loy
ally. he said the old political par
tie*? are mere husks without a soul
in them. The prime need of to
day is a party with the moral i
courage t<> face the fact that we
are in the midst of a great eco
nomic revolution. He said he
stood for a minimum wage scale
based upon a decent living. He
opposed the present methods of
crooked big business, and said the!
American people, and not the
courts, were 11u» ones to determ
ine the fundamental policies.
Means should be devised to pet rid
of incompetent judges. He urged
the immediate construction, own
ership and operation of the tele
graph, and in the matter of Alas
ka he emphatically urged for a
policy of conservation of the nat
ural resources for the public as
a whole, whether they lived in
Alaska or the United tSates, de
fending the policy he has inaug
urated in the northern territory,]
and insisting that AlaskA had |
been purchased by the people of
the whole country ami belonged
to t ho in and not those who had
chosen that land as their hold of
operations. Ho also urged wo
man's suffrage.
Chicago, An?. G.-Jane Adams,
of Mull House, will second the
noininnlion of Itoo^ovoli tumor
row.
Chicago, All?. (».— Roosevelt's
speech lo the convenlion was a
groat disappointnienl lo Alaskans
in the oily. Thoy lake it that
should he again he in the presi
dential chair he will pursue a pol
icy of conservation towards that
territory which will put an end
to all development. His langu
age ran be construed to mean that
the mineral, as well as all other
natural resources, belong to the
government and should only bo
exploited in such manner as the
.government should see fit and to
its profit. The action of the Alas
ka delegates on this question so
vitally affeoting the future wel
fare of Alaska is being watched
with intense interest and It is ex
pected thoy will take some steps
to counteract the effect of Roose
velt's speech, which is the most
severe blow aimed at the indus
trial development of the norlh yet
enunciated from a political plat
form. -
Seattle, Aug. G.—Progressives!
here are intensely disappointed ;d'
Roosevelt's speech, where he al
ludes lo conservation of I lie nat
ural resources of the territory.
Tliey are al a b»s.? lo understand
why he should bring up thi* sore
spot ;i I this time when I he peo
ple have taken tip I In- Alaska
question as an issue. Alaskan*
here are indignant and say tli••
policy advocated hy Roosevelt will
practically shut down all enter
prise and in time will depopulate^
the territory of jt* white popula
tion. It is thought here thai
Roosevelt has permitted himself
to he dominated entirely by Clif
ford Pinchot on the question of
the conservation of Alaskan re
sou rces.
Nome, .Aug. Jennings has
arrived here and is now busy mak
ing his campaign in this divis
ion. Everything is in splendid
shape and the territory will hear
good reports for the Democratic
candidate when the vote is count
ed. I.et the other districts do as
well a* we will do and Jennings
will be elected.
Nome people are complaining
I hat the mail up north j5 "cold

haustion of I lie known rich bon
anzas be fori' enterprises have
been established capable of hand
ling cheaply the large amount* of
low-grade material which are
known to exist on the peninsula.
From this statement it may be in
ferred that at some time in the
future the gold production of the
Seward peninsula will materially
increase.
Although practically all the
mineral production has been de
rived from gold placers, interest
has been renewed in the tin de
posits, and a production of nearly
100 tons of concentrates, worth
about $50,000, is reported from
the tin placers on Buck creek.
Not only has dredging for plac
er tin been carried on, but cer
tain lode tin min.'s near York have
been re-opened under the super
jntendence of a competent mining
engineer. It is understood that
the company intends to ship I lie
tin concentrates to Seattle, where
they will be smelted.
While on a trip into the Alatna
Noatak region last year Mr. Smith
spent several days obtaining notes
on the mining industry in Seward
peninsula, and these have just
been published as Bulletin 520
M. (an advance chapter from
"Mineral Resources of Alaska,
1911"), n copy of which may he

"For numberless hut summers

duty, rain, shine or snow. Sully
is a good boss: he is indeed kind
to me. hut he sometimes forgets,
for some reason. quite oflen of
late. After my day's toil is over
and I have had my feed of hay and
oats, Sully has come to my stall
and bid me again place the collar
about my neck. These limes Sul

he talked in a subdued tone of

good of him. wasn't it ? Hut some

Mr. Rluin, iu order that I might
