President s Order Relating to Newly
 Mined Gold, Boon
LAST YEARS GOLD OUTPUT OF ALASKA COMPUTED AT
 S1O,2O0,00O

To those engaged in the Alaska gold industry and to all others de- pendent upon that industry, the New Deal" has concrete mean ing, according to Delegate A. J. Dimond.
 By stroke of his pen President Roosevelt increased the value of their product approximately one third when he signed the execu- tive order permitting the export of newly mined gold and assuring for it the prevailing world price, which is now more than $50 per ounce. Formerly the American gold miner received a fixed price of $20.67.
 It is not easy. or even possible, to calculate what the order will mean to Alaska. That is because of the greatly accelerated develop ment of gold properties which is bound to follow removal of the ex- port ban, an acceleratiOn which will send zooming production in ounces as we'll as dollars.
 Last years production was worth roughly $10,20C,000. Had the present situation prevailed then, the value would have been S13, 3,600, 900.
 Lode mines operating through out the winter will derive constant benefit from the order from now on, but with the end of current mining season near placer miners will be able to sell only part of their 1883 production at the high CT price.
 For the benefit of those who may possibly not see it otherwise, that part of the Presidents order relating to newly mined gold is printed here:
 By virtue of the authority vest ed in me by Section B of the Act of Oct. 6, 1917. as amended by Section of the Act of March 9, 1883, entitled An Act to Provide Relief in the Existing Ma on a l Emergency in B king and for Other Purposes I. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do declare that a period of national emergency eX- ists, and by virtue of said author ity vested in me, do hereby issue the following executive order:
 "The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to receive on consignment for sale, subject to such rules and regulations and up on such conditions as he s h l prescribe, gold recovered from nat ural deposits in the United States or any place subject to the juris- diction thereof; Sales may be made; "(a( To persons licensed to acquire gold for use in the arts, industries or professions, or
 "(b) By export or foreign pur- chasers.
 Such sales shall be be made at price which the Secretary shall determine to be equal to the best price obtainable in the free gold markets of the world after taking into consideration any incidental expenses such as shipping costs and insurance.
 Such sales shall be made thru the Federal Reserve Banks or any such other agents as the Secretary may from time to time designate and shall be subject to such charges as the Secretary may from time to time in his judge ment determine.
 Every person depositing gold for sale as provided herein shall be deemed to have agreed to ac- cept as conclusive without any right of recourse or review the determination of the Secretary or his duly authorized agent as to the amount due such person as a result of any sale.
