Alaska Gold Mining
and Production, 1922
According to a statement given out
by the Department of the Interior,
Alaska has produced in all $335,526,450
werth of gold and $8,833,922 worth of
silver. Of this gold, $230,">00,992 has
been taken from placer mines, $103,
227,434 from gold lode mines, and
$1,792,034 from copper mines.
In 1922 $4,39">,000 was recovered from
Alaska placer mines, and $3,015,000
from lode mines. In the summer 507
placer mines, employing 2,150 men.
were operated, and of these, 120 mines,
employing 402 men, had also been oper
ated the previous winter. The total
number of large and small auriferous
lode mines operated in 1922 was 28.
These figures are taken from the an
nual report of Alfred H. Brooks, of the
Geological Survey, now in preparation.
In this report he states that there is
geologic evidence of the occurrence of
extensive auriferous lode deposits in
Alaska, and that a rough estimate,
based on the best data available, indi
cates that the Territory still contains
some $350,000,000 worth of placer gold.
Girls at Lowest Ebb
in U. S., Says Minister
New York.—The American girl is at
"the lowest ebb of her history,” Rev.
Dr. P. H. Knubel, president of the
United Lutheran Church of the United
States and Canada, declared Wednes
day before sailing on the Lapland for
Germany, where he will attend the
world conference of the Lutheran
church.
"American girl-sand young women,”
fee said, "should mend their ways, be
cause the men despise them. They
drink cocktails, smoke cigarettes, and
altogether their conduct Is shocking.
"The whole United States is very im
moral at present, and I trust there will
be a recovery very soon. The women
are no worse than the men, but they
seern so because previously they were
so reserved. They should realize that
men hate them for Haunting indecency.
I believe much of this is due to the ex
aggeration of the true duty of women,
namely, suffrage and this new freedom.
‘‘The religious life of America has
reached that stage where the people
are demanding of the leaders a more
positive fashion of expressing the truth
of religion.”
J. E. Wilson, a veteran prospector
and trapper who arrived in Anchorage
recently, brought with him the hide of
a large lynx, which he called a "Su
sitna leopard,” and told an interesting
story of a hand-to-hand struggle with
the animal, declaring it was only
through the presence of mind of his
partner, who killed the animal with a
club, that his life was saved.
H. S. Nash, who joined the stampede
to the Klondike in 1897, went to'Nome
in 1900. remained there until 1902. went
outside and agaio returned to Dawson
in 1913, remaining for a year, is now in
business in Seattle, running the Nome
Transfer & Express Company.

F’q.ris.—Theodore B. Koppeny, the
Viennese biologist, whose xperimeuts!
in the transplantation of eyeballs two j
years age was a world sensation, has
accepted an invitation from Hr. Max
Thorek, of the American Hospital, of
Chicago, to come to America.
Until now Dr. Koppany has only
transplanted the eves of rats, rabbits
and toads, being unable to e;:tend his
experiments in Vienna, to larger an
imals because of pecuniary embarrass- \
meat, but in Chicago he will be en
abled to carry on extensive studies.
Among other physicians who have
tested Dr. Koppany’s theory lately is
Ur. Edward D. Morgan, of Paterson.

transplanted the eye of a hog to a man
who was blind for eigh’een years. The '
man was able to perceive a ray of
light._
