The 1950 production figures ire 48,478 ou of silver valued at 343,875 (35,056 at $32,633 in 1949); 7 short tons of copper valued at 52,912 (4 tons $1,676 in 1949); 150 tons of lead valued at $37,600 (51 tons at $16,116 in 1949); ayd 6 tons of zinc valued at $1 668 (? ons at $496 in 1949).

Average were the and silver at metal, prices in 1950 came as in 1949 for gold t $35 an ounces for rold and $0.905 for silver. The price for copper was raised to $0.208 a pound from $£0.197 and to $0.139 a sound from $0.124 for zine, and was lowered from $0.158 to $0.125 1 pound for lead. Although coal continued to rank second to gold in value of output, production was slightly less than the record output of 1949. The min- ng of platinum continued to be an impor factor in_the mineral industry with production of cryde platinum-group metals exceeding t of the previous year. Output of mn.l was three times the 1949 pro- duction, and silver gained about ome third over the previous year's total. Copper and zinc production— entirely as byproducts from other ores—increased slightly, but re- nained minor. Production of tin 1s relatively small, but substan- tially above the total for 1949. The 23 percent increase in pro- duction of gold in 1950 was un- cpected inasmuch as an unusual- ly dry season in the Territory re- ulted in cessation of activity at 1 number of operations in sev s in the Yukon River Basin Seward Peninsula regions. Ap- y the larger operations, particularly those using bucket- line dredges, were able to increase yutput and thus more than offset | any er-all loss resulting from the shutdown or curtailed activity at those plants affected by a water shortage. “Nafural” gold - continued to be sold on the open market at pric fit‘ cuct of the Comparative figures for 1950 with | JUNEAU, ALASKA 7 from three to five dollars aver the official price of $35 per fine ounce.

Data on production of sand,! gravel, and stone are not available| for publication, according to the Bureau of Mines report. No lime- stone was shipped during 1950 by the Permanente Cement Co. from the Dall Island quarry, in the Ket- chikan district. There was no re- corded production of antimony, as- bestos, chromite, gem stones, mer- cury, or petroleum in Alaska in 11950. 'MENDENHALL 4-H (LUB FOR BOYS ELECTS FOR NEXT 6-MONTH TERM | An unusual array ot club activi- ties, combining business and plea sure, prevailed at Thursday hight’s eeting of Mendenhall 4-H Club for boys, held at the Floyd Ogden: recreation room, Auk Bay. Elected to hold office for the rext six months are: Bobby Ogden, President; Henry Allen Jenkins, Secretary; Duane Reddecopp, Trea- surer; John Tanner, Reporter; Richard Gaines, Song Leader; and Jackie Makinen, Sergeant, at Arml_; Club leaders Mrs. Joe Kendler and Mrs. Henry Jenkins announced that the Centennial Flouring Mills Co., of Tacoma plans to participate in our calf program. They will fur- nish and feed a calf for five months. At completion of this per- iod the calf belongs to the boy who took care of it. All the Cen- tennial Flouring Mills people ask is that local dairymen supervise the feeding, and that they receive a monthly report on the progress and the gaining in weight of the animal. It was decided that the name of the boy who will get thic calf will be drawn. Henry Allen Jenkins, Billy Gailles, and Jack Weisgerber prac- ticed a humorous skit which de- lighted the audience and evokec uproarious laughter. _ The skit will be played at a party planned by the 4-H Club Council and Extension Supervisor Miss Hal- lene.
