N. 8.) Alaska's mineral output for 1921 had the lowest annual value since 1904, according to an announcement by the geological survey of tho interior department. , Tho mineral output of Alauka for 1921 was valued at about $16,109,000, as compared with $23,303,76? In 1920. The decrease was attributed to a de cline tn all fonms of lode unlnlng, es pecially that of copper.
