INTERNATIONAL
MONEY TOKEN

Cambridge. Mass, March Eff the
price of gold goes down. another metal
must be looked for as token of inter-
national value. | think this metal will
be silver, because silver is not found in
alluvial plains, and because owing to
the difficulty in mining. 1t will never
change in value"
This statement was made by Prof. N.
S. Shaler, Harvards geologist, in lee
ture TO six hundred students In San
der's theater. He predicted that with.
in the next thirty years there would
be an influx of gold such as the world
has never known. Prof. Smaller bases his
statement on geological conditions,
combined with recent Improvements in
mining apparatus. He said in part:
within the past few years men have
come to realize that a large portion of
earths surface Is charged with gold.
Gold is indissoluble and when gravel
banks are cut away II is not easily ear.
ried off by streams to the sea as Is the
case with other metals. Instead il is
carried along. broken up into finer and
finer fragments and gradually deposited
over alluvial plains,
THE new systems OF mining which
have recently been discovered will have
produced by the middle Of the present
century an almost intolerable supply OF
gold. | cannot say definitely what the
increase will be. but | should think
at the least that the present supply viii
be quadrupled. On the continent OF
America alone | have estimated that
the amount Of gold to be won from
gravel within the next hundred years
Will be worth thirty billion dollars.
up to the present time men have
been greatly handicapped in searching
for gold by the fact that II was scat
tered so thinly through the earth. They
have been able TO find any amount OF
gravel paying from 10 to 30 cents to the
cubic yard. but the expense OF dredging
has always been 50 great that they
have been unable to extract 1t with
profit.
Now. however, the machinery OF the
dredgers has been greatly improved
Within the past three years dredges
have been operated In Russia and i'm
the United States especially in Lead
Vile. Colo. which have proved beyond
question that alluvial soil can be profit
ably worked for gold.
In the United States there are from
5000 TO 5000 square miles which will
give miners employment and which can
be accurately depended upon for pro-
ducing gold. Similar areas in Russia,
India. Africa and Australia will flood
the market and II the value of gold re-
mains the same the quantity will in
crease ten fold by the middle Of the
century.
The production may be limited, how
ever, by simultaneous rise I'm the
price Of labor, and by the fact that
the mines In South Africa and IN other
places where the solid rock bed Is
worked cannot be operated BY reason OF
the Increased expense. Still. there will

the families of each man was present TO

brought face to face with deportation
they finally broke down and mingled
their tears with those Of their wives and
relatives. II was a sad sight indeed
Pho del Pillar held his composure until
the last moment, but as he was ordered
on board the boat he broke down and
wept like a child. They are being taken

absurd as II would prohibit the cree

Several other builders were seen and

the agitation was disastrous to contem-

but at present the work is being held In

Salt Lake Building company con-
tractors-The circular you mention
will have a tendency to frighten
off builders. and what was at first
thought would be prosperous season
IN the building trade, will prove to be
a very poor one. The clause in the cir
cular which prohibits union men from
working on buildings or works where
non-union workmen have been" en-
ployed. is absurd. The unions are too
radical altogether
Taylor, Romney, Armstrong Co,
builders-The action OF the declarations
will change the bright season into
dun one. The men are throttllng
themselves, While not knowing the ex-
act figures. It Is our opinion that az
least 40 per cent Of the workmen In this
city are non-union. The action Of the
union men will have the effect Of ar
raigning the non-union men against the
union men. The buildings which will be
erected will in all probability be built
by union labor. The union men are
