 have taken the matter up with Mr. Baker, the Director of the Mint, who assured me that it was most vital necessity to the Government, that the production of gold be maintained I have taken the matter up MT. McAdoo. , Secretary of the Treasury. and in or der to get statement that I could send to Alaska to authoritatively in- form all Of our people. I wroe to MT McAdoo the enclosed letter and have IcSeiNcu llOul IiIii lIe euClOSeU re- ply, which I wish you would be kind enough to publish in order that all Alaskans may know the great need for gold at this time.
 I am taking the matter up with the Ways and Means Committee of the House in endeavor to have all tax ation on gold mining removed during the period of the war, and am endeaY- bring in every way I can through vari- ous officials of the Government, to bring about some assistance to gold miners, whereby their difficulties in these trying times may De somewhat ameliorated
 Thanking you for your attention to this matter, which I am sure you will recognize is very important one, and with best wishes, believe me, Sincerely yours, CHAS. A. SULZER,

miners of the world are facing diff cult conditions. l should be sorry however, if for this reason there were any relaxation in the effort to produce gold. At no time has this country so much required the largest possible production of gold as at present. Next to food and ammunition, gold is enc of the most needed war essentials in order to place the enormous amount Of government bends required to fin 2nce cur war expenditures, large credit structure will inevitably be erected on our gold reserves and it is necessary that these reserves, which are the foundation Of the structure, shall be maintained on the broadest possible basis,
 The United States and it's associ ates in the war are heavy purchasers Of raw materials and other commodit- ies needed for the war in many neutral countries and our war requirements make 1t impossible for us to pay our bills in those neutral countries as we have been in the habit of paying them in times of peace, viz: through the shipment of manufactured goods and commodities which those countries are eager to buy from us This means that a certain amount of debt to those countries must be paid for in credits or in gold
 This brief statement, will, I hope, make clear to your constituents the great necessity that exists for the maintenance of gold production at the maximum point. The man or the con- munity that maintains or increases it's production of gold in the face of L.Gcultie5 and dlscour .e;a'li-nt is per forming Q patriotic service which de- serves recognition no less than the more obvious but not less useful ser vices that are more in the public eye.

 SACRIFICE

In an effort to stretch out our re- nain;ng slender wheat store to cover inc next four and one half months, the people of America are being asked to reduce their per capita consumption of wheat to not more than 11a pounds per week The response has been amazing.
 There are many who can do even better than this. Those who give from plenty are asked to increase the meas ure of their sacrifice that less may be demanded from those who would have to give from their encessities Some of the foNmer are gladly deying them selves wheat entirely
 Each day adds it's quota to this growing army of american wheat ab- stainers. Total Abstainer Clubs are being formed in some places by those who are ready to pledge their entire wheat raton to the Allies.
 In one western state both merchants and consumers are offering stocks of flour to the government, some cities retaining only two pounds per month per capita.
 A large proportion of all the par ishes in Louisiana have agreed to use no wheat until the new crop comes in. One church congregation has adopted resolutions pledging the en- tire congregation to consume not more than three pounds per person per month.

They will die from hunger by the
