Alaska. - Report of the Territorial Mine Inspector , for the year 1916. {Juneau, February 28 , 1917 ] 86 pp.

This report indicates that 1916 was the most prosperous year in the mining industry of Alaska " by reason of the excessive demand for copper and by the continuance of the European war." The mineral production was valued at $52,939,754, of which copper contributed $35,314,993. This is an increase in the total value of $20,085,754 over the preceding year. The value of gold and silver mined was $17,087,214, or an increase of $335,214 over 1915. There were approximately 9,125 men employed in mining during the year 1916. Twenty- nine fatal, 194 serious, and 568 slight accidents were reported in all mining, making a fatality rate of 3.18 per 1.000 employed. However, it is explained that this is hardly a fair rate, since 4,925, or 54 per cent, of the men were in placer mines which were operated on an average of but 180 dajrs in the year, while the lode mines, employing 4,200 men, were operated an average of 360 days. Taking these facts into consideration the 7 deaths in placer mining show a fatality rate of 1.42 while the 22 deaths in lode mining show a fatality rate of 5.24. There was no strike involving a suspension of work in any of the mines of the Territory during the year.
