VANISHING GOLD.
What Has Become of All That Precious
Metal That Has Been Mined?

What becomes Of gOld2
Where is all Of that yellow metal
that has been mined?
1t is one Of the Oldest metals In hui
man use. There are gold beads dating
back to the stone age. It Is an object
Of almost universal desire. It is proof
against almost all the Influences which
destroy other metals, and it has been
mined in e:Drmous quantities. Yet
today more than two thirds Of the gold
IN use has been dug since 1S49.
What becomes Of the rest? Where
Is the gold that set Jason wandering
into the Black sen, that filled the treas
uries of Croesus, that paid the terrific
tribute which Persian kings assessed
against the Punjab? What has hap
pened to the yellow dust and "elec-
truman alloy Of gold and silver
which negro traders brought down the
Nile to Egypt for 1000 or 5000 years?
Ancient gold, like that Of modern
times, was used for money and for or
naments, but both have disappeared.
Where!
The most enduring Of metals and
yet the most evanescent, perpetually
sought and yet constantly escaping the
hands Of even the successful seeker
that IS gold. What Is the reason for
its curious elusiveness ?-Chicago Jour
nal.
