METAL
GOLD. THE PRECIOUS
OF THE AGES

Gold, the yellow metal that has held
mankind's interest throughout the ages,
has again stepped into the limelight.
Since President Roosevelt announced
last week that the United States would
enter the world market and buy gold
at a price better than the world quo
tation, there has been lively interest
in the production of this metal
throughout the United States and its
possessions.
On last Wednesday the United States
was paying for the yellow metal S32.l2
per ounce. This was an increase from
around $29 that had prevailed before
the u. S. entered the market. For years,
and up to recent weeks, the price OF
gold had been steadfast at S2O63 an
ounce. 1t can easily be seen what a
great impetus this increase of over SIS
an ounce gives to the mining industry
and to the prosperity of the states
where gold is produced
Just what is this metal and the
history back of it, this precious metal
that mankind has hunted for and
fought for and burrowed into the
depths of the mountains in avid search
of, this glittering stuff that the miser
boards and gloats over and with which
mankind throughout the ages has loved
to hedeek his women
Gold, a soft, lustrous, yellow metal,
is 1881 times as heavy as water 1t is
widely distributed and there is said
to be two cents worth to every ton o.
sea water. Since the dawn of history
gold has been the one metal freely &C
cepted by every race in exchange fol
services. Over 1.400 years before thu
Christian era, the Greeks were usinE
geld for ornaments, but even they were
not the first to do this The Creek
borrowed the custom from the Egyp
tians, who had bedecked their womei
with gold thousand years before tn
Greeks borrowed the practice The us

use as money, and eventually as tn
standard upon which most of the cur

The nations of the ancient worl

This system was maintained until
The Middle Ages, when the silve
