SILVER BUYING
JUST MILDLY
|NFLAT|ONARY'
RooseveIt'S Decree Permits
$47,730,000 to Be Spent
at Most in Year
By LESLIE GOULD
International News Service
Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 G.N.SO,
President Roosevelt's decree for
the annual purchase Of "at least"
24,421,410 ounces of silver means:
The United States Government
will spend a minimum Of $15,75l,-
800 yearly for the newly-mined
American silver up to December
81, 1887.
Maximum $47,73O,OOO
The maximum amount will be
SAT, 100000, as indicated by the
American silver production record.
Production now is at the annual
rate Of 24,421,410 ounces, and the
best year for American mines was
slightly better than "a million
ounces in 1915 and 1916.
American silver producers win
be guaranteed by the Government
a net price Of 641z cents an ourae
for their newly-mined metal. To-
days world price is around 46
cents an ounce, giving the Ameri-
can mines a premium Of 17I
cents an ounce.
One-half Of the silver bought
by the Government will be coined.
The balance will be stored in the
Treasury as bullion.
Half Goes for Fee
The Government will actually
pay American producers $1.29 an
ounce for the metal, but one,half
the price will be charged as seig.
niorage-a fee charged by the
Government for coinage or mint
ing. This makes the net price
64A cents an ounce.
Foreign producers still will have
to sell at the world price. Amer
ican producers will have the
choice Of selling to the Govern
ment or in the world markets,
taking the more favorable price.
The move is only mildly infla-
tionary, in that only a minimum
Of $15,751 ,809 or a maximum Of
$47,730,000 can be spent annually
on the program.

ment will be retained in the
Treasury"
Besides improving foreign trade
conditions, the Presidents action
Is designed to boost commodity
prices at home and to give much
needed impetus to mining activi-
ties In the country.
Silver, it was pointed out, is a
by-product in mines which pro-
duce aS their chief product zinc,
copper, and lead.
Other Metals Aided
With silver now offering a
means for profit, it was observed,
many Of the other metal indus
tries win begin production.
Eighty per cent Of the silver
produced in this country, accord.
ing to Senator Pittman, is mined
and refined in mines where the
chief deposit is copper, lead and
zinc.
Mr.. Roosevelt's proclamation
points out that China agreed mot
to dispose Of any silver derived
from the melting up or debase-
ment Of silver coins, and India
agreed not to dispose of over 35,-
OOO, 900 ounces Of silver per annum
during a period Of four years
commencing January !, 1884.
and Spain agreed not to dispose
Of over 100000 ounces Of silver
annually during the same period" I"
China, India, Spain and the
United States are holders and
users Of much silver.

when the dollar and pound sterling began to sag in relation to the con- tinental gold currencies. The price of gold went up to S29.35 the fine ounce. the highest; since last Decem- Der and comparing to the all time high price reached last November.
 And now gold becomes more than a medium of exchange. The turbulent upward rush of prices through the frenzied buying and passionate desire for the metal is not sprung from the cool calculation of the financier. The brighteyed, world-old gold mania is recrudescent.
 And while the American national leaders and the American people fly over new seas under the Blue, Eagle of the MIRA, the old world scrambles for gold.

REINDEER TREK TO CANADA NEA RENAL. CH AFTER

Definite assurance that the, now famous Alaska reindeer herd which has been en route to point in far northern Canada for four years would reach its destination in4 December is forthcoming in wire received regent ly at Nome fro. mthe, Dominion's rep resentative at Aklavik,, Dr, Urquhart.
 Dr. Urquhart wired from Herschel Island that he had contacted, Andy Bahr, fin charge of the long drive, a few days previously and that he latter reported all satisfactory with the reindeer herd and that the ami mals will be delivered within a few weeks
 Two of the Eskimo herders were then at Herschel Island and the Ca nadian official said that they would be returned to. their home at Kotzebue on the first available boa.
 Perhaps there was nothing about the exploit to the sturdy Laplander. Bahr, but the four-year trek has caught the popular fancy in. the States and many news an. dfeature articles have been forthcoming, based on the drive. Bahr,, an experienced man, was hired when the Lomen Rein deer Corporation made the; sale to the Canadian government of the-reindeer which were to fill the gap in rapidly diminishing animal life in the Canar dian district.
