That the Juoeatr mine is the great
-■f# factor in the; entire.. kqW produc
tiAn of Alaska* at this time is indi
earted by the. fact that its output was
tuDrc than that of al‘the .rest of the
mines, both place1* ancUquarlz, in the
Territory combined. This includes all
of« the dredges now operating also.
