If what $35 gold did to Alaska in reviving its mining industry generally is a criterion, another boost should brighten the North's industrial future. James Wood's word picture in the Seattle Times is apropos. He says: During 1935 Alaska produced minerals worth $18,312,000, an increase of $1,591,000 over 193 Despite the encouragement of higher price, the output of gold declined slightly. The ma- Jor part of the gain is in copper, which jumped from the almost unprecedented low of $9,700 in 1934, to $1,249,700 last year. There also were gains for silver, lead, coal, platinum metals and tin. Since, 1030 Alaska hgs. pro- duced minerals. mainly .gold, to afr aggregate value of $698,628,000. T. Seward, it will be remembered, paid Russia $7,200,000, lqr the whole Teiritory The fact that gold output declined is Gue pri- marily to the fact that established operators worked low grade ore bodies which they were unable to Work under the old price. Cheap ore can be mined at $35 but not at $20. The same may hold trie if there is another boosts The higher price is only an incentive to boost the mining industry all along the line from the prospector to the big operator, reveals it has done just that and the record The National Commander Foreign Wars wants to make Veterans of military of the compulsory | trative servi | of | inoperative.” which | dent who {be chosen for their fitness, and not on a basis of It means that !
