CHANGE IN GOLD VALUE
CLOSES MANY MINES
American Mining Congress States
That Some Properties Will Not
Be Reopened.

The purchasing power of the gold
dollar has dropped to the point where
the coin no longer pays the cost of
its production. according to the Amer
lean mining congress- By statute an
ounce Of gold cannot be bought for
minting purposes by the government
for more than $20.67, which was its
purchasing power IN 1919. Today it's
comparative purchasing value Is -. a
difference of more than $11. or SIS per
cent
Gold mines Of the United States, it
is said. are being closed down at an
alarming rate. Many of these can
never be reopened, owing to the pro-
hibitive costs of retimbering and un-
watering. Cripple Creek. the great
est American gold camp. Is taking on
the appearance Of a city Of dead
hopes. Great drainage tunnels, mon

recognized preacher" among the
Quakers, Herbert Hoover and his
brother and sister were distributed
around among the many uncles
and aunts to be brought up. Her
bert went to live for a time with
an uncle, Laban Miles, an Indian
agent in Oklahoma. Then he was
sent back to Iowa to the home of
his uncle Allan Hoover. and next
Oregon. Finally he was turned
over to "Grandfather" Miles, who
was not actually any relation at
all. Grandfather Miles was a hard
disciplinarian. At the age of four
teen Herbert ran away to Port
land, Ore, where he got job as
a boy in a real estate Office. And
there he stayed and worked and
studied at night and dreamed un-
til came his opportunity to enter
Stanford University in the ''pio-
neer" class of that institution.
1t Is related of Herbert Hoover
that while he was at Grandfather
Miles home a former friend of his
father. mining engineer. had Wis
tied him and had fired his imagina
tion and ambition. Ever after that
visit Herbert was determined to
go TO a university and study to be
an engineer.
When he reached Stanford he had
begun his battle, indeed. He had
some 5000 which he had saved up
that's all. He had to work his way
through college while he was
studying to keep up in his courses.
His ability as an organizer soon
manifested itself. and he organ
ICED various kinds of college ac-
tivities and made his living large
1y from them. During the summer
months he went surveying.

While Mr.. Hoover was a student
at Stanford he met Miss Lou Hen

Miss Henry is today Mrs. Herbert
Hoover. She. too, was interested
in geology and mining and took
honors in her scientific studies.
Mr.. Hoover was too busy working
his way through college to go in

for number of years he lived the

to his jaws. His face is broad and
smoothshaven.
When he works-and that is most
of the time-he works hard. and
gan in 1914 he had made fortune
and his mark in the mining world.
His ventures had carried him into
many lands. including Australia.
where he got his really first big
start; Russia. China, India and Af-
rlca- The vast mining properties
which he has developed in these
lands were sometimes located
where conditions called for a great
amount of organization. In Rus
sia he had to build factories as
we'll as dig mines. and construct
$50 miles Of railroad to get free
access to the mining properties.
In China he had to construct an en-
tire harbor. with great shipping
facilities.
