Needed in Gold Mines

ONE of the most profitable branches Of work
~ for the mining engineer in the next 20
years will be gold mining in the opinion Of
Scott Turner, director of the United States
Bureau of Mines
Because 9 The increasing demand for gold
which is e..pected to continue to grow, it be-
comes more and more vital to find new gold
deposits and perfect methods to bring about
profitable extraction from old workings not now
proftably in production.
There are nearly $500 non-ferrous mines in
the United States at the present time, and of
these 2134 are principally and primarily gold
producers.
1t is considered likely that North America
will continue to be the greatest source of gold
for some time to come, with Mexico and Canada
making up for the lost production in this
country
Other forms of mining activity such as cop
per, zinc lead and iron also expected to offer
profitable employment for mining engineers for
the next 20 years or SO, for the increasing need
for economical operation offers great oppor-
tunity for them.

THE question Of reforestaton which already

one on which the Nation will have accurate

Chas. f. Mitchell

NEW Notwithstanding the ool-
icy of President Hoover regarding
Liberian and other darker countries.
Charles f. Mitchell, retiring Min
lister from Liberia, praised the Pres
ident as being fair and impartial in
an address before the Central Re
publican Club, here.
Negro Republicans in New York
City flocked to hear Mr. Mitchell in
the hope that he would supply them
with some much-needed ammunition
with which to lombard the Demo-
Gratis in the coming campaign. How
ever, the usual political fireworks
were conspicuous by their absence.
Mr.. Mitchell prefaced his address
by informing his audience that it is
a rule Of the State Department thar
all members of the Diplomatic Corps
must write their speeches lie also
reminded his audience that, as
diplomat, he is forced to be guarded
and conservative in his uttcrances.
After these brief remarks. Mr..
Mitchell read a speech which was
almost entirely devoted to record
Of the friendship and cooperation
extended by the Federal government
under the presidency Of Mr.. Hoover
to Liberia, Abyssinia and Haiti.
Mr. Mitchell also called attention
to the fact that during this admin
istration the rank and salary of the
representative to the Mon
rovia has been raised to the level Of
other diplomatic representatives.
Said he. "the policy Of the Hoover
administration toward Liberia Alb
