GOLD MINING

Its day is most certainly arriving,
in fact has arrived; the crying need
for GOLD is reflected from every cor
ner of the earth. It's the required
nourishment for industry and indis-
pensible in the rehabilitation of
every country on the earth.
1t is high time to relegate to the
rear this pessimism of war recon
struction and actively participate in
the industry of all industries that
makes and produces real money
GOLD.
The most conservative forecaster
predicts an increasing profit in GOLD
production, due to the depletion of
the precious metal and the re-adiust-
ment of the whole country.
The conditions of business stress
have heretofore featured booms in
the mining industries of all countries
Following the civil war immediately
was the Comstock boom, familiar to
all, and history always repeats itself
as all things travel in cycles and now
is the opportune time for GOLD
MINING INVESTMENTS.
THIS is NO GUESS: Never in the
history of mining were the condi-
ions so favorable for sane and safe
investment in GOLD MINING shares
$ now; the industry is on firmer
is than ever before; legitimate
mining is the order of the day and
every thinking person must admit it
is one of the greatest profit earners.
The following are a few of the
many reasons for these statements:
For some time, in fact ever since
the beginning of the world war, there
has been great difficulty experienced
in obtaining funds for gold mining
development and in many cases in
all gold producing countries, the
work has been carried on by the in
dividual or group of individuals, from
their personal funds, relying for
their profit on discovering and devel-
oping the precious gold metal that
they were satisfied would be discov-

which is to be erected on Nassau Street.
will cost $12,ooO,00O according to esti-
mate of cost presented with the details
of the structure to the Building De-
partment last week. This is $1,000 600
above the figures which builders
thought two years ago it would cost to
erect.
The structure is to be fourteen
stories high, and will cover all of the
block between Nassau and William
streets, Maiden Lane and Liberty
Street, with the exception of one small
parcel, which is the narrow end of the
block fronting on William Street.
The imposing structure will be built
from plans by York e. Sawyer, who
won the competition which was held to
determine the plan most agreeable to
the directors of the bank and to the
purposes of the institution.
Removal of the buildings on the
site, which has cost the bank s4,74o,s5o,
is now in progress. When the plans
have been approved by the Building
department everything will be ready

ture, which likely will be center of a
new financial center Indications point
strongly to such a development. Sew

entrances on Maiden Lane will be for

The steep grade in Nassau Street
north of Liberty Street and the de-
cline in Maiden Lane east of Nassau

for the architects.

will be two stories high and will lead

Point Is Cases Height

, discussion. Large plots generally lend
themselves to greater development than
small ones and rectangular shapes are
usually better than irregular ones.
Equally important with the location
and character of the plot in determin-
ing building height will be the amount
of money available for the purpose.
Where the owner is a wealthy indi-
vidual or corporation it will remain
with him to decide this factor. but if
considerable portion of the cost is to
be provided by mortgage the lender
will have much to say as to relative
investment in land and building. Some
thing will be heard about well ball
anced loans"--that is, loans on build
ings where the investment in building
exceeds but slightly, if at all, the esti-
mated value of the land. The difficulty
of borrowing needed funds will tend
to curb the enthusiasm of the builder
who proposes to construct 8 top
heavy building, and will quickly
bring him down to earth"
Personal Interest Scores
Of all factors entering into our dis
cussion none seems to be so frequently
controlling as the personal desire or
requirement of the owner. In the pre-
liminary discussions leading to the
planning of building there will always
be met a prejudice on the part of the
owner which will have very large
influence in the decision. If the build
ing is to be wholly or in part for the
occupancy Of the owner this prejudice
will be based probably upon his bust
ness requirements. If the building is
wholly or largely for, inve stmerit it may
take the form of an inherent dislike
for unnecessary height. | have known
owners to decide upon the number of
stories in advance of any discussion
of probable returns. On the other hand,
it may be desire for personal or bust
ness advertisement which ignores eco
nomic considerations, as in the case
of the Woolworth Building, the Metro
politan and Singer towers, and many
buildings throughout the country erect
ed by banks, railroads, insurance COM
panies and other large national insti-
tutions.
Lastly, the architect, we hope with
the help and advice Of competent
building manager must gather together
all the varied elements arising out Of
the particular situation and mold them
into harmonious unit, which shall be
worthy of his art and skill, at least
reasonably profitable and satisfy the
owners requirements.
AS I have said, my investigation
shows that the considerations just
enumerated either singly or in com
bination, appear so far to have deter
mined the height of most, if not all,
