MINES. OF yYUQhN.:.yALLEY
 ARE CONTRIBUTING LARGE z..
 LY TO ALASKA A OUTPUT, 1881
QValdez Miner.l


 The mining camps of the Yukon valley are contributing a splendid total to the output of Alaska and the Yukon for the year 1881. This was the, news brought here by 6, L. Set tlepier, former Dawson editor and holden of, silver-iead properties in the Mayo, camp. who recently. passed through Valdez for theg South.
 ''From ,thes best authority Il could sather,'...f'. =. said Mr.; settlemier, "the Fairbanks, district this year will pro duce approximately two million dol lars worth of geld. The, bulk of the output will come from, the operations of the five dredges of the. Fairbanks Explorationl Company. on Goldstream and Cleary creeks. The 7, company makes no announcements of it's gold recQveries, but others outside the company have placed that figure as somewhere near the total.
 Aside, from the dive dredges of thet big company, four other smaller dredges ares workings in the district, notably two under the. management of E.. Austin, onsFairbanks creek.

BASIS OF GOLD DATES;
 BACK TO EARLY HISTORY

The gold standard means that the Government guarantees that goods, products and services may be ex- changed for gold or gold equivalent.
 The unit of value of gold in this country is fixed at gold dollar, which is defined by law as 25.8. grains of gold O.9O0 fine, and equal to 23.2 grains of pure gold. For all .clnfeneY In circulation the Governnente ,hss dollar for dollar. in gold Or e.igihle paper.
 In11786 Congress adoptea, 2ss,lver standard, defining the unit as a silver dollar of 375.64 grains of pure silver.
The Kusko times., 1931-10-31

Fairbanks is thriving and has not been in a healthier condition for many years. But she has all the labor needed, and in that respect is the same as other interior camps.
 .'The Dawson camp this year will produce about $750.9Oa from the .op' erations of the Yukon Consolidated Mining Company Ltd, organized by A. N. c. Treadgold, and now working on the Klondike valley and Dominionk creek. This company4 like the big company in Fairbanks, has an esti- mated. life of l20.9to 25 years on it's present. holdings. and also in working five large, modernadredgese ?.
 'f 1.-The stream of gold from the, ,in- terior also will be augmented this year by generous prudpstions,' from the. old districts sof Circle, Livengood, Hot Springs, SixtXmile, Fortymile, Ruby. Iditarod, Marshall, Rampant, and others,
 !. "The Mayo silyen7lead. fields have eurtailed their operations owing to the low price of metals, but, even un- der the stress, of the market they are shipping this year a total of five thousand tons of highgrade. concen- trates and crude ore having a. splen- did total value, said to approximate three million, dollars even at the pres ent low market price. The camp. also turned out this year two thousssanged ge tons of ore which has been hauled to the water front at Mayo and is being held for shipment next season.. So it is seen that the Northland has in this camp a premier producer which makes her an outstanding figure in the mining world. $:
 "The Mayo camp is year.around producer, working every month, of the twelve. and is enabled to keep going now because. of the phenomenally rich ores, in the Treadwell- Yukon, mine, known. as the Lucky Queen. The company has several other mines in the district which will be in the producing column. when metals ad- vance,. and many. other. holders of claims in the district also have ore that they will, be able to ship when the market is restored to normal.
 ''In the Mayo district are some two thousand claims, not ,more, than. 10 per cent of which are. held by big companies. The. Guggenheims., the Treadwell- Yukon, the. Marcus Daly interests, and the .Cans0lidatsd Smel- tors of Canada have interests in the Mayosdistrict!S-. The, Mayo -silyer-lead fields are one of the very few new. lead fields of the world and 4one.eof the highest grade silver producers of the continent. If prices of these metals be restored to the position of four years ago, the camp in all likeli- hood will be one of the iveliest on the continent"
The Kusko times., 1931-10-31

In 1792 two units were adopted, one of gold containing 24.75 grains of pure gold and silver dollar contain ing 71.25 grains of pure silver. The ratio of gold to silver, was sto 15, and both, were used as legal tender. .. These ratios underwent ;, numerous changes until the. gold ,staudard was abandoned during :, the Civil War. Then, in 1S7a,, Congress. adopted :, a gold standard. making the, gold dollar the unit of value with 25.8 grains of gold 0.9O0 fine.
 Silver dollars were made legal tent der in 1878 by an act of Congress, and the act of 1900 establishing the gold standard also provided that nothing in the act ;sheuld affect the legal ten der quality of the silver dollar or other federal money.
 Under the present law, it. is guar anteed that all cprrencyaor checks is- sued by the Government pr any bank will be paid in gold upon demand of the person, holding the. .eurrency OF checks. Silver certificates are re- deemable in silvers apd.gpldr because of it's weight, is not, much in demand in everyday sbusiinssssss.
 Gold certificates issued blythe Tfen sury are issued. only for their1equiuas lent in gold, which; meapgas tbat wheny for instance, a $10s gold. certificate is paid out. by the. FreasnEyi$1osin in gold must be received fprs.it.~.so that in back, of the outstanding gold certif- cates, amounting to. $1,7O0,oOO, 900, the Treasury eaaoldss. gold dollar for, dollar.

 The most important currency, since the adoption of the Federal Reserve Act, is Federal. i, Reserve notes. Ac- cording to lawait is required that when. Federal Reserve banks issue currency they must have reserve of. 40 per, cent of the amount in gold and 60 per cent ain seligibae, securities or gold, so that atYtreseanotes are secured dollar for dollar before they reach. the publie., However, the Federal Re- serve banks shavea searly tsxice, as. mpch gold deposited with the Treas ury at pyessnn4to guarantees thnir, eurs rency asaiss required by law.

27O MIDD|ES FACE
COMMISSION Loss
Special Legislation Held Nec-
eSsary to Retain June Class
at Annapolis.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Noting q sharp deeline In the num-
Der Of resignations from the Navy, de-
psrtment officials estimated yesterday
that unless special legislation Is passed
270 members of next Junes graduating
class OF $50 at the Naval Academy viii
have to be turned away without COM
missions
Not a single resignation among line
ofhcers has been received since last
May and there have been only nine
since January /. This was attributed
directly to the depression.
Under the law the number of line
officers in the Navy is limited to per
cent of the authorized enlisted strength.
or 5,te9. At present the Navy has TAO
officeis In excess of this figure 49, &c
action of the last Congress in provid-
ing that all 1881 graduates be COM
n1tSsioned regardless of this limitation.
At the present rate of attrition, there
will be about 209 vacancies from death,
retirement or resignation between nov
and June 30 leaving 90 positions for
the graduates.
The Navy expects to ask Congress to
pass legislation similar to that of last
year making places for the entire class,
but in a year when economy Is being
stressed some officials doubt that this
will pass the director of the budget
and Congress
Not since the s0s has the Navy been
unable TO commission its entire gradu-
ating class. The practice at that time
was to give those who could not be ac-
commodated a diploma and a years
pay and then dismiss them.
It will cost about $253.o00 more 70
commission the entire class than IL
would to commission only the go for
whom vacancies are expected. This Is
due to the fact that years pay Is
$3.50, while it costs $i.7l9 to commits
sion, equip and maintain an ensign for
q year.
There has been some agitation In
the department in the past for increas-
ing the allowed percentage Of line of
f1cers from per cent to So, but 1t Is
felt such measure would have less
chance for passage this year than q
provision making an exception to the
law for the 1892 class.

bility for the banks difficulties.
