IRON MINES IN THE ARCTIC
 CIRCLE TO RESUME

Mining in the Far North is attend ed with hardships not suffered in less rigorous portions of the earth. To the average man Alaska seems far enough north for anyone, but Nor ways largest iron mines are at lati- tude 70 deg, or almost as close to the pole as Point Barrow, Alaska's most northerly point. According to the Engineering and Mining Journal Press these are probably farther north than any other mines of their kind in the world. The Sydvaragner company, which owns them, has re- gently been reorganized and is now preparing to resume operations after two years of idleness. The ore runs 36 per cent iron and is magnetic. Con- centration is necessary because of the

F0RD|AN THEORY OF FINANCE HAS :.
 BEEN MET WITH SEVERE SHOCKS

The Fordian theory of finance has met with severe shock in the govern ments of the far east and also in Europe, where it has been tried out with no success. In China, especially, paper currency has been repudiated by the soldiery, and Italy is using every endeavor to retire its big paper issues. If limited amount of paper money is good a large amunt should be much better. The condition of Europe is predecated on it's ability to buy raw material and foodstuffs, but none of the producing countries will take its promises to pay for more than it's paper worth. If these coun- tries were able to put up the coin they would be on a prosperous basis at once. Prosperity is measured by ability to pay in money of value, and money to have value must be based on something that either has senti- mental value or an intrinsic value. It will be noted that in many instances pledges of payment for foodstdffs and the backing of note issues are based on revenues of the issuing countries, but these pledges are to foreign money lenders and the home folk have to put up with money based on national good faith. When the people lose faith in the ability of the men at the head of the nation to make good, money slumps to low ebb ,and it is this con dition that may arise in any country at any time. To have a stable cur rency there must be back of it at least SO9c of basic money. It is for this
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-06-23

reason that we believe the safe and sane plan would be the double stan dard of value, based on gold and sill yer. Mono-metallism is as great. a farce as Mir. Ford's paper proposition.
 Be-metalism is the one source to predicate stability in the money mar
 ket of the world,. and would at once
 place the United States in a position
 of security at the head of the mone- tary affairs of the world.
 The development of mines, especial ly the metals mines, is the one great thing to be desired. When the mines of the old countries of the world be- came exhausted these countries passed into decay. It is the story of every country on the earth. Mining has been the life blood of the nations, and when inroads were made on their metal production and it gradually lost their ability to mine at a profit, the coun- tries went the way of all decaying na- tions and peoples. To keep at the head country must maintain its mines at high level, otherwise dry rot will creep in and no matter how rich it is in agricultural and viticul- tural wealth it will die, its people be- come idle and inane. Adventurers have gone to the far countries of the earth in search of precious metals, never in search of homestead or cat tie range, wherefore mining has been always the hamburger of good to all peoples, bringing in its wake every thing that makes for the happiness and welfare of the people.

UNLESS CONTROLLED FLOODS WILL
 CONTINUE TO HOLD BACK SOUTHWEST

The floods in the southwest have
 been a discouraging feature during
 the past several months, and these floods will continue to discourage the
 farmers who live in the river valleys
 of the west, south and southwest from entering extensively into the exploita-
 tion of their acres. There has been
 four million acres of lands flooded
 this spring, which has deterred the planting of the fields to that extent. This is most discouraing, especially when coupled with depressed markets.
 For years the Miner has advocated widespread campaign of river re-
 straint, which would hold every river in the country in check and allow of the cropping of still larger acreages.
 Some people appear to believe that restraint of wider farming develop ,nent has it's compensation in better prices ,but this is not true. If the United States can feed the world, would it not be better for the farmers of the United States and the consum- CTS in general. Greater crop areas must surely mean greater prosperity to our country, and only in the i'm poundment of the flood waters of the
 rivers may we see the time come when there will be no great floods to imperil the lives and property of the people.
 Regarding the matter of larger crops, we have but to quote Or re- vamp saying of Roger w. Babson, who is conceded to be an authority on the commercial gospel of the country, wherein he says that, There will never be general oversupply of goods until everyone has more than he can profitably use." Wherefore, there never can be an oversupply of food stuffs until everybody has more than enough to eat and more than enough to wear.
 Every river in the United States can be restrained at some point, where its damage may be made nil through the building of dams and the storage of water. While many of them may not have the advantage of the Colo rado, Missouri and Mississippi, in that they in many places run through l gorges where ideal sites for impound- ment may be had, there is sure to be found sufficient basins for the hold ing of water along the upper reaches of the streams, where number of . small dams can be used successfully. i
 Stagnation in business and mind are practically one and the same thing and it is to be hoped that the big men of the country will not . draw us into the stagnant pool, that we may perish miserably. We feel : that we have a congress that cannot . rise above mediocrity, but the force of many able men may carry it along to usefulness, and we are depending upon these real fellows to bring the country out of the slough of despond and place it on the high road to a prosperous future by providing the ways and means for safeguarding the great west, southwest and south from the terrible inroads of floods.

Export Tax on Siberian Copper Shuts
 Down Mines

The Bor mine, in eastern Siberia, which has operated a 300-ton s,nelter on 6 per cent copper ore for the last ten years, and has been a profitable undertaking, has recently been closed down because of burdensome legisla- tion. The government economists, ac- cording to the Engineering and Min ing Journal-Press, reasoned as fol- lows: Copper production has always been exported while manufactured copper articles are imported; this is a mistake. The method for fighting the mistake is to put a prohibitive ex- port tax on copper. This was done accordingly. Coming at time when the copper-mining business was not particularly prosperous anywhere, this proved to be the straw that broke the :amels back, and the mine suspended operations.
