Surprising Result

A surprising result of the Pres

is the amount of outdoor work plan

heretofore has been to suspend sucl
projects until spring, reports from
widely scattered localities show that
road building, sewer and water mair
construction, and the erection OF
wooden and steel bridges, will go for.

Explaining Riot at Bombay

Calcutta, Jan. 10.-Mahatma Gand-
hi has issued a statement deprecat-
ing violence and resistance to consti-
tuted authority, and explaining his
theory of resistance by non-violence
The statement was issued as re-
suit of the Bombay rioting upon the
arrival of the Prince of Wales, in
which seven were killed and 200 in
jured. Gandhis statement says:
"The hope of reviving mas civil
disobedience has, in my opinion, once

Tons of Gold in Ocean

New York, Jan. 9.-There is $50
100000 in gold in the sea for every
inhabitant of the globe, says John
Hays Hammond, the famous mining
engineer. But, unfortunately, no com
mercially successful method of en-
tracing it has been invented thus
far. Water dredged from the great
depths of the Atlantic contains four
grains of gold to ton of water.
An estimated total amount of gold in
the oceans of the world thus runs into
thousands of millions of tons.
Hammond tells "The Story of Gold"
in the January Mentor Magazine,
drawing upon his life experience for
some of the most interesting bits of
his article. He tells Of meeting John
Marshall, the discoverer of gold in
California. Marshall showed the fa-
nous engineer the exact spot where
he found the tiny nugget that started
the California gold rush in 40.
Mans high regard for gold is due.
hammond believes, to race memory
Of the time when it was the only
metal known. Unlike other metals,
which generally require smelling, gold
Is often found in free state. One of
the largest nuggets of this sort, the
"Welcome Stranger" found at Dun
oily, Victoria, in 1869, weighed 2.26S
ounces. So gold may have been made
into ornaments before the discovery
of fire. The earliest recorded civil
zation knew how to mine it.
Gold was the chief medium of ex-
change in the ancient world. Kings
apparently esteemed it more than
their wealth in land. During the
medieval times little gold was mined
in the fifteenth century the worlds
total supply was valued at 1925 ,0OO,-
600 only.
California Leads in Production
The story Of gold in the United
States began with the rush to Califor-
MIA in 40. California still leads all
other states in gold production. Ne
vada, Colorado, and South Dakota are
close rivals. The Klondikc rush to
northwestern Canada in 1897 was sub
stantially repetition of the Califor-
MIA rush. But the Klondike's gold pro-
duction has steadily fallen Off while
that of the neighboring territory of
Alaska has increased until it is to-day
one of the worlds most important
producing di tricts.
Australia experienced gold rush
shortly after California. Thity years
later, important fields were discovered
in the vast, arid interior. Engineers
have worked marvels there, piping
water hundreds of miles to the min
ers.
Rand Richest Field
The richest gold-producing region
is the Witwatersrand, of White
Waters Range, in the Transvaal.
South Africa. The Rand, as it is
commonly called, is tract forty
miles long. From this small area
half of the worlds supply of gold has
come for many years. Gold worth
$t2, 600, ,OO0, 900 is still accessible there
engineers say.
India is the greatest consumer of
gold, according to Hammond. 1t is
used mostly for ornamental purposes.
Pure gold is too soft for most uses in
the arts. 1t is alloyed with copper
and silver for making coins, plate,
and jewelry. No other metal is so
malleable or so ductile. An ounce Of
gold can be drawn into a wire so
miles long and beaten into leaf
1-367,500 of an inch thick.
