TA1ANA VALLEY GOLD OUTPUT
TO01914 OIIEO 13,000,000
While many people of the Tanana Valley expected the
output of the Fairbanks district would lx* a million dollars less
this year than in 1913, the books of the Wells Fargo Fx press
company show that tin* drop was in the neighborhood of
$250,000. The aggregate amount of gold shipped during tin
year 1914, to date, is 174,(i4(i.24 troy ounces, the value of which
was $3,109,072.24. This is $521,826.79 less than the amount of
gold handled by the Wells Fargo office during 1913, but prac
tically one-half this decrease was occasioned by the dimin
ishing of the shipments from Ruby, Hot Springs and other
lower river points.
Last season a groat deal of gold dust from Ruby and Hot
Springs passed through the Fairbanks office, and was includ
ed in the estimate of the output for the season. This year
the bullion was shipped directly from the lower river camps
and did not appear on the books of the Fairbanks office.
A large part of the decrease in the output of the Fairbanks
district was occasioned during tin- months of May, .June and
duly, and was due, in part, to the late spring and to the fact
that the open-cut workers were delayed greatly in their opera
tions.
The books of the express company do not show tin- ex
act amount of the output of the district, as some of tin- gold
mined here was sent out in other ways. Several well-known
mining men who left for the outside are known to have taken
large |M>kes with them, while others have sent parts of their
cleanups out by mail.
Following is a comparative statement of tin- shipments of
bullion by the Wells-Fargo company for the past two years.
1913— Troy ounces, 197,712.11; value $3,630,899.03
1914— Troy ounces, 174,646.39; vaule, $3,100,072.24.

GOVERNMENT FARMER ON
ALASKA AGRICULTURE
In compliance with a request of the
Fairbanks Commercial Club, says the
Fairbanks Times, J. W. Neal, superln
tendent of the government experimen
tal station near Kster Siding, has writ
ten an exhaustive paper on agricul
tural conditions and itosslbilities of
interior Alaska. Mr. Neal is thorough
ly convinced that the interior will b«
a great agricultural country some day
but he sees many setbacks in stor«
for the men who strive for the up
building of the country.
In starting his paper, Mr. Neal citei
the fact that there are many farmer
in the Tanana valley now, and all o
them making a living, as the best at
gument in favor of the possibilities o
agriculture in the Interior.
Although weather conditions wer
very unfavorable during the past sure
tner, especially for harvesting, th
I government experimental farm ma
tured the greater part of its crops, an.
260 bushels of grain, in several var
ties, threshed. Five varlties of barlej
seven of oats, one of spring rye, one o
fall rye, two of spring wheat, and on
of fall wheat, ripened, and a numbe
of specimens of all these were sent t
he Panama-Pacific exposition.
At the government farm, the hul
less barley threshed 1,800 pounds t
he acre, the beardless barley threshe
1,275 pounds to the acre; sixty-da
oats threshed 49 bushels to the acr
Finish black oats on a north slope c
very thin soil threshed 165 bushel
from a live-acre tract. On the sout
lope, the yield from this latter varlet
was 90 bushels to the acre.
Spring wheat is reported ns havin
been very uncertain thus far. Som
new experiments are being made thl
winter, and it is hoped that within
*hort time the problem will be solved
It has been clearly demonstrate,
that there are few states that cai
equal Alaska in raising such hard;
vegetables as cabbage, cauiltlowei
rutabagas, turnips, beets, carrots, pat
snips, peas, rhubarb, celery, lettuc
and others.
Owing to the fact that feed is so
high in the interior, the government
j man does not think that stock-raising
i will he entered into extensively for
| some time, until conditions change.
UNEMPLOYED PUT TO
MINING BY AUTHORITIES
How to provide for the army of the
unemployed, thrown out of work be
cause of the business depression re
sulting from the European war, is
naturally a much more serious prob
lem in the British colonies than any
where else outside of tilie continent of
Europe. The city of Edmonton, Canada
has found at least a partial solution,
and one that puts no added burden
either on the taxpayer or the charit
able says Popular Mechanics.
The bars of the Saskatchewan
River, which runs through the city,
contain much gold dust of the very
fine flour variety. With the outbreak
of the European war and ttie necsslty
to provide as much avai hie work for
1 men whom war conditions might
throw out of employment, the city
’ council offered returns right within a
f hundred yards of the city’s main
streets. A number of experienced
r mining men who had settled in thf
3 city after the Klondike rush .of ’9t
offered to act for a while as Inst rue
ors to the uninlated, and some tw>.
hundred men soon went to wok. Tt.i
' average clean-up per man for the
y months of August and September war
about one dollar and a half to twe
^ dollars a day.
