In 1929, as in for-, mer years, practically all of the copper came from two mines near Kennecott, in the Copper River region, and from one mine on La-' touche Island, in the Prince Will- iam Sound region. These mines alone, according to the published records of the Geological Survey, have yielded copper worth more or so they have been actively de- been in progress during the year in the Bering River field, nor in any of the many coal fields that are known in other parts of Al- aska. Petroleum All the petroleum produced in Alacka in 1929 continued to come from the wells of the Chilkat Oil Company, near Katalla, where, in addition to the oil wells, the com- pany operates a small refinery.
