Status of Gold from the Gold Miners
View Point

world needed increased wheat pro-
duction by the farmers of the United
States, the United States government
arbitrarily adjusted the price Of wheat
to point that would enable and in
duce the farmers to raise that extra
wheat; and if it We're necessary to
maintain that extraordinary rate of
wheat production the standard price
of wheat would have to remain as it
now is.
The general concensus of opinion of
gold miners the world over Is that the
new price for gold should be not less
than $33.33 1-3 per ounce of pure gold ;
and that if it were adjusted at that
price, they could produce an adequate
supply within requisite time to stead
lily maintain such gold standard as a
sound basis for paper issues and all
necessary commercial uses; because,
at that price for gold, vast gold mines
OF lower grade ore than heretofore
utilizable could then be worked at
good profit; and it is from the large
low grade gold mines that the great
bulk of gold is to be produced in the
future. Untold millions of tons of old
gold ore dumps-gold ores already
mined-would then be milled at pro-
fit, which were of a grade heretofore
non available. Practically all of the
thousands of low grade gold mines
which were heretofore discovered and
opened or worked to greater or less
extent would then be reopened and
operated at good profit. The prospect
ors who have now ceased to prospect
for gold would thereby be encouraged
to again enter the field to discover
new gold mines and new gold mining
districts, and the industry Of gold mi
ming would flourish as never before.
In view of the large amount Of gold
which must be dug within specific
time, its standard price per ounce can
not be less than its cost of production.
If congress will now adjust the gold
standard at 1898 1-3 per fine ounce,
the gold miners of the 12 western
mountain states will gladly shoulder
the responsibility Of furnishing a SUI
ficient supply Of gold with which to
maintain such gold standard for the
United States Of America.

(Chester T. Kennan)


When man is sick he calls in the
doctor, not the stone mason. When a
man has a difficult suit in equity to
try in the United States supreme court
he employs a lawyer, not surgeon.
When a miner wants mine rails he
looks to the steel manufacturer for
them, not to the drug clerk.
Gold miners have dug, and in that
sense have produced, all the available
gold we have in this world up to date,
and we must naturally look to them
for the new gold we need now and in
the future.
Manifestly the production Of suffi-
cient gold with which to maintain a
gold standard rests upon the gold mi
ming industry.
The gold mining industry Of :he
United States is located by nature
wholly within the IL western noun =
tain states, to-wit: Arizona, Califor-
mia, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico Nevada, Oregon, South Da-
kota, Utah, Washington and Wyo-
ming
For sheer lack Of sufficient gold
with which to function, our old gold
standard, established two centuries
ago, has now utterly collapsed.
Clearly, a gold standard can only he
reestablished, and from now on be
steadily maintained, by making a vast
increase in our annual production Of
gold, and efficient steps to that end
must speedily be taken.
Manifestly it is up to the gold min
ers to specify what means 1t is ne
cessary to now employ to make this
vast increase in gold production. It
is for them to estimate how much per
ounce it will cost to produce an ade-
quate supply Of gold within requisite
time
IF the world is going to maintain a
gold standard, and we assume that 1t
is, then 1t must pay the cost Of pro-
duction Of the necessary gold with
reasonable profit to the miner, and
that the price per ounce of gold (gold
standard) can not be less than its
cost Of production with reasonable
profit to the miner is a self-evident
proposition.

Story of Mace Being Kid
mapped by U-Boat Attacked.

AVER, Mass, May 2s.-Closing argu-
ments were made to-day in the trial OF
Paul L. Mace, q private at Camp Devens.
who in defence of a charge OF desertion
declared that he was kidnapped and de-
tained aboard a German submarine be-
cause Of his knowledge of certain air
plane improvements.
Lieut.. Francis NJ. Flanagan, coun-
sci for Mace, said that not a single piece
of evidence had been introduced TO re-
flute the story told by the accused. Mace,
he declared, was under cross-examina-
ton for several hours without making
one contradictory statement.
"Only an honest man sure of facts,
he said, could take the stand and con-
duct himself as Mace did"
In the argument for the prosecution
Lieut.. Il. II. Ziegler, trial Judge Advo-
cate of the court-martial, declared Mace
either was in touch with German agents
and had voluntarily gone aboard the
German submarine to turn over his
plans. or else the whole story Is a false
hood and he deliberately deserted"
Lieut.. Ziegler declared that Nace's
knowledge of mathematics was &c
deficient that he could not possibly have
evolved plans of an airplare motor
which would revolutionize aviation, and
that drawings submitted TO the court
demonstrated no mechanical ability.
Mace was absent from Camp Devens
from May to October OF last year. Ac-
cording to his story to the court he wal
kidnapped near the camp and taken by
automobiles to the coast, where he waf
placed aboard German submarine and
kept prisoner throughout the summer
He finally got off and swan ashore near
the Cape Henry lighthouse on the Vir'
