GOLD TOO CHEAP,
THEY ASK PRICE
OF TT BE RAISED

Deadwood, S. D.-The low price
of gold is worrying mining men in
the Black Hills and a petition is
being circulated to urge congress
ito do something about it"
For nearly 200 years, there has
not been any change in the price of
gold, according to local f1nanciers
and miners More than 1000 sig
natures have been attached to a
petition which is to be sent to the
South Dakota congressional dele
cation.
During the war the gold indus
try was hit hard because of the
high prices paid for silver, copper
and other metals. Expert miners
left the gold districts because other
mining companies were able to pay
much higher wages. 1t is claimed
that exploration companies have
refused to spend money for new
work until a price adjustment is
made The output in the Black
Hills for the past year has been
unusually small.
