Cañon City record., 1908-04-02

Discussing the extraordinary scar
ity of gold, Mr.. A. C. Simkins, In Har-
per's Weekly, after pointing out that
the worlds output Is almost a million
dollars a day, and that somewhere
there should be great stores OF the
precious metal, asks: Where does 1t
20? Some of it, a small proportion,
indeed, into the arts and jewelry. The
balance is supposed to be coined or
held In bars ready for coming. But
where are the coins and the bars?
Only a matter OF fifty or sixty mil
lion dollars were needed recently to
save the country from panic, and
that amount was obtained with DIM
Guilty, after a prodigious effort, by
securing the whole Of Europe. Think
of it; fifty or sixty millions about the
output of American mines alone FOR
short half year. Surely there must be
something wrong somewhere. Where
does all the gold go? is asked again
and again; and there Is no satisfas-
tory answer.
Does the stream run on through the
ordinary channels of trade and finally
disappear. as some streams do, in the
desert beneath the ground, never to
reappear? It would seem so.
Lord Cromer, in a speech recently
delivered at a banquet at the Guild
hall in London. sounded a note OF
alarm when he drew the attention Of
his hearers to the boarding proclivi-
ties of the Egyptians. He told how
the hydraulic engineers had made a
new Egyptian Egypt freed from the
erratic favors Of the Nile, needing
every year a hundred and fifty million
dollars In gold to finance the cotton
crop. Engineering skill has worked
wonders in this old land Of the Phar-
oahs, but we must doubt after reading
his remarks whether the world. at
large has been benefited thereby. for
but little of the large amount OF
money expended ever leaves the coun-
try again. Year after year England
exports to Egypt the hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars needed to pay for the
cotton, that, thanks to irrigation, can
be counted on with absolute certainty.
A hundred millions Is half of the
worlds yearly gold output.
Hoarding among the Egyptians and
the Orientals is an old. old story.
Some scoffers treat the matter lightly
though, and laugh at what they are
pleased to call 1t an Asian myth. But II
is no Asian myth. The gold we
should have in our marts Of commerce
today lies under ground in India, in
Egypt, and In China. 1t is buried.
There the product Of hundreds Of gold
mines, won by so much skill and ef-
fort, is returned once more to mother
earth, to lie unproductive in the eter-
nal quiet of the tomb.
Lord Cromer gave several instances.
one Of a cotton planter not supposed
to be rich, who died not long ago. In
his cellar, there came to light a hoard
Of $4,000 British sovereigns, almost
100000. Another bought a piece OF
property for $125,0O0, and paid for it
in coins taken from a hoard buried In
his garden. This sum of money was
brought to the place of transfer on the
backs Of donkeys. Instances such as
these could be Qouted without number.

but there Is no need OF them here.
Hoarding in Egypt is such well-re-
cognized Institution as to be beyond
the sphere of argument
Then there is India, that land Of
never-changing conservatism, where
caste and boarding are customs AZ un-
alterable as the laws of the Medes and
Persians. There the practice Of
boarding has been the custom Of ages;
and by ages is meant not merely Q few
centuries, but time running back a
thousand years and more; during all
Of which, except for the past century.
India has been the camping ground OF
warlike princes.
During the past twenty years one
great hoard Of silver, that Of sixty
million pounds sterling in rupees, has
been quietly exchanged for gold. The
true extent of this hoard was first
brought to light some years ago in

the late Maharajah Scindia was to get
back the fortress of Gwalior, but very
few knew the real cause which
prompted him. That cause was

millions sterling) of rupees in certain
vaults within the fortress, over which
relocated British sentinels had been
walking for about thirty years. never

the entrance into the concealed hoard
was dead, except one man, and he was

health, might be expected to die At
any moment of sheer old age. If that
had happened the treasure might have
been lost to the owner forever. and to
the world for ages, because there was
only one entrance to the hoard. and
that most cunningly concealed.
80, the Maharajah was in such 4
a FIX that he must either get back his
fortress or divulge the secret to the
government and run the risk of losing
the treasure for all time. When after

work. There they were kept till they
had opened out the terrace into the
secret vault; and when its great con-
cealed hoard had been verified by the
Maharajah, the masons were once
