Ransome of the Ju- (neau officz of the Federal Bureau of Mines Total mineral value was $11,- 855,000, compared with the 1948 figure of $13,028,000. Troy ounces | of gold amounted to 220,903, valued at $7,731,605, compared to the pre- vious year's 248,395 ounces, valued at $8,603,825. Coal ranked second to gold in value of output, and platinum rose {in importance to exceed the output of 1948. Silver amounted to only a little more than half, and lead only one-fifth of 1948 production, Ran- some said Copper—nowadays entirely a by- product from other ores—remained minor. Production of tin was small but su:stantially above the 1948 level. Coal produced—all of which is used in the Territory—was 430,000 ‘ons, valued at $2,205,900, compared to 408,000 tons last year, valued at $2,790,000. Higher prices in 1948 accounted for the higher less production that year. Most -ame irom Nenana and Matar.uska. PRICE: HOLDS BACK The 11 percent decree in gold pro- duction—95 percent of which came { from placer mines near Fairhbaiks and Nome—is based on smelter and mint receipts for 10 months and estimated for November and De- cember. Although labor supply Letter than at any time since tlie war, the narrowing margin between high operating costs and the $3 a fine ounce price set officially, was not conducive to operation of any but more efficient enterprises, Ransome said. “Natural” gold continued to be sold on the open market for from $3 to $5 more than the official price, but the amount involved i during 1949 is not known. In 1948 18,000 fine ounces of natural gold were sold. Silver’s production of 36230 was a 48 percent decrease from 1948 figures, and was largely the by- product of gold mining, principally ucket-line dredges in the Fair- banks area. Some comes from lead mining, carried on in the Hyder district of Southeast Alaska. Hyder accounted for almost all ead produced this year, as last.

Ralston, acting head of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Rai- ston made this estimate today fol- lowing closure of the trapping sea- son on Sunday | Trappers throughout the Terri- tory were not figured to have taken | many pelts this season, he said,| mainly because of weather condi- | tions having frozen bays and in- lets which lead into trapping areas. The season lasts from December | 16 to January 15. Last official figures available in the Wildlife Service offices are for last season, when the Juneau area accounted for more than 5 percent of all mink taken in Al- aska, 4 percent of all otter and more than 3 percent of all weasel. Prince of Wales Island holds the top mink score, with 22 percent accounted for there. Petersburg area follows closely, with 14 percent from that district. The Juneau district embraces all the mainland north to Skagway and west to Yakutat. Fur animals in the Southeast dis- trict are mink, weasel, land otter, a few fox and lynx.
