Only four times in the Territory's history has this figure been ex- ceeded—1917, 1918, 1926 and 1928, making last year rank fifth. Well Above Average It is well above the average for the past decade, which was about $56,000,000. It fell short of thel |mark established in 1928, $74,227,- 1334, which was within $2,250,000 of the record made in 1917 under the stimulus of wartime prices and conditions. The products of the fisheries in- dustry ranked first. All of the | fisheries combined produced com- modities valued at about $46,500,000 This was $6500,000 less than in 1928, the loss primarily being due to the shrinkage in the salmon! pack. This dropped from $45548. 633 in 1928 to $38,500,000 last year, or about $7,000,000. However, the salmon pack was regarded as ex- cellent in view .of the fact that it was one of the so-called “off years” ——————— in several districts including the Fanny Homar, comely mermaid of the Illinois Women's Athletic Club, is Central A.

Preliminary estimates for last year’s opcrations were made public today. The production was approximate- ly $300,000 more than that of 1928. ‘The net profit before depreciation was $1,100,000, or almost $200,000 larger than in 1928 when the net was $920,000. Equals Whole Territory The local mine's output for the year was virtually as large as that of all the other gold mines, in- cluding lode, placer and dredging operations, in the entire Territory. The total production for the year was slightly in excess of $7,000,000. | The tonnage trammed and that milled was larger slightly than in 1928.

Gain in Minerals The most striking feature in last gain made in mineral production as disclosed by export figures. The estimated total of all minerals for the year was $16,450,000. | For the first time since 1922 gold and silver shipments exceeded $7,- 000,000, the total being about $7,- 400,000 as compared to $6,633,249 in 1928.
