GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable
Have Been Forced to Close Down
temporarily.

Gold is one Of the war victims. The
was has forced down, in market value,
measured by human labor, many kinds
of property and most of the staple
commodities, until some gold mines
which yielded a fair profit before the
war have become temporarily useless
10 their owners. II costs so much to
operate them that they cannot be
worked without loss.
There has been change in the value
of gold itself, in the money of great ma
tons which have maintained their
monetary systems on the specie basis,
while almost everything else has gone
mp. The result is that any given num-
Der of ounces of gold mined will buy
much less material used in mining,
such as explosives, drills, pumps and
other machinery, and will pay for few
er days work. This change is still
going on and the position of the gold
mining companies grows less and less
secure and sound.
