GOLD MINES UNABLE
TO PAY FANCY PRICES
FOR THEIR LABOR

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 2.-Black
Hills folks once proudly boasted
that they had one square mile which
was worth more than all the land
in South Dakota. east Of the Mis-
souri, river. But times have
changed and the Black Hills now
are yielding only a small fraction Of
the states wealth.
The stability of gold Is the reason
In the old days this Interchangeable
value was the Black Hills insurance
policy. At present the fixed price
is the Black Hills greatest handi-
cap.
The state valuation last year
showed total of $l85, 100000 in
productive wealth. The valuation
on gold mined In South Dakota was
placed at $1,000, 900. Since then the
labor shortage. the inability OF the
gold mines to pay fancy wages TO
miners and the money obtaina BILE
elsewhere have hit the gold camps.
Copper and mine operators were
able to pay higher wages when the
price OF their products was in
creased. The Black Hills gold Is be-
ing mined from the low grade ores,
A tremendous tonnage Of ore must
be handled and a correspondingly
large amount OF labor Is needed.
In addition to increased salary Sc
mands. the price Of materials re-
quired for producing gold have
scared.
There Is more money In potatoes
than In gold right now" said a
