Alaska produced gold in 1914 to the
value of $15,764,259 an increase of
about $140,000 over the previous year.
In 1914 21,450,628 pounds of copper
were produced in Alaska, compared
with 21,659,958 pounds in 1913. The
value of Alaska’s total mineral pro-
detion for 1914 was $19,118,080; that
o f 1913 was $19,476,356. This de
crease was due to the low price of cop
per in 1913. It is estimated that up
to the close of 1914 Alaska produced
minerals to a total value of $268,150,-
000, of which $244,156,000 was gold.
