~ EIIEF FOR the gold mining
- industry has come to be one Of
IN the most pressing questions
confronting the country. The
production of gold has been decreas-
ing rapidly. while the demand for
money has been increasing by leaps
and bounds. This demand has been
met by issuance of bonds and currency
payable in gold. This has now been
carried to an extent that the promises
to pay are far beyond the proper ratio
of the gold basis. The situation Is
daily becoming more serious on ac-
count of the difficult position in which
the gold miners are placed. They are
subject to the high cost of production
due to the war, while the value Of
their product remains stationary. AS
a result a crisis seems to be approach
ing and unless something is done for
their relief many gold mines will be
forced to suspend operation and the
future supply of gold will be to a
great extent reduced to that obtained
as a y-product. The war industries
board has within the last few days
placed gold mining among the essen
tial war industries which will give 1t
preference in obtaining supplies. but
that will provide no adequate relief.
A conference of western congressman
has been called to consider the situa-
ton and the American Mining con-
gress is taking an active interest in
the solution of the problem.
kennan Has Solution.
Colonel Chester 4. Kennan, of Muir
ray, has recently addressed a letter
to Senator Borah, in which he sug-
gests a solution to the difficulty. His
letter indicates a close study of the
question and an intimate knowledge
o. the relation of gold to our monetary
system. Colonel Kennan has favored
the Miner with a copy of his letter,
which is here given:

Linn Visits District.

c. p. Linn, Of Columbus Ohio, was
Wallace visitor last Saturday He
has long been interested in a large
group of patented claims in the vi
cinity Of Adair. a copper section that
is rapidly growing in Importance. Mr.
Linn acquired the interest many years
ago when that section was remote
from transportation. The building of
the Milwaukee railroad has made his
property easily accessible, and has re-
suited in opening actual producing
mines in the immediate vicinity. Mr.
Linn ranks among the leading attor-
neys of Ohio. and his associates in
the copper claims are strong financial
ly and it is probable that after the
war their development will be under
taken on a large scale.
