Gold Mining Is Called l Safest
 Of Investments
Plenty of Yellow Metal Is In The Ground and Problem Is To
 Produce it at a Profit
(By The Associated press)

MOJAVE, Calf, Nov. IA - Contrary to popular belief, gold mining is not gambling. In fast, it is the safest investment known Gold is the only article on earth for which there is always a mar ket and the demand always ex- ceeds the supply. Therefore, all the hazards of marketing-which are of vital importance to the success of all other business-are eliminated, says A. J. Bruce, mill designer and mine operator in the Mojave district.
 There never has been a time when there was sufficient gold to supply the needs of the world.

ficient gold in the ore being work ed. Nor is there any great diff culty in determining the quant- ity of gold in a mine. There are we'll established and proven rul- es of calculating these values, both as to quantity and quality. If standard methods of mine ex aminations and mill construction and operations are used, under efficient management, there is no reason ever for loss in a gold mining investment.
 No Other Is Safer
 If these rules are observed there is no other business in the world where the investment is SO secure. It must be remembered in this that many of the larg est fortunes in the United States were founded on mining opera tions. And there is no reason to believe that there will not again

be bonanza mines opened up with in the boundaries of this count ry. These facts show the consist ent soundness of the gold mining industry. To be sure, it is true that a great deal of money is lost in mining ventures. These loss- es are due in the main to the fol- lowing reasons:
 Dishonest Operations
 Inefficient, or crooked engineers making first examinations and re commentators. Poorly and i'm properly designed mills and re- duction plants.
 In many instances large sums of money are expended on the in- stallation of mills before a suffi- cient quantity of ore has been developed to warrant it; and ire quently it is later learned that the equipment on which vast sums have been spent is not of the proper type.
 By far the greatest proportion of losses sustained by investors is caused by crooked stock man. ipulators. In great many in stances the values are in the mines and were the mines in the hands of efficient engineers and businessmen they would pay a handsome profit without the ex- penditure of more than is often spent on the property by crook ed promoters who are not look ing for legitimate profit from mine operation.
 If reports by honest and effi- cient engineers show that there exists in the mine a certain amount of gold; if a well plan ned mill is constructed; and if the business as a whole is hand. led in as efficient manner as are other successful businesses, with low overhead and not excessive capitalization gold mining in- vestment is the safest in the wor Id and has the possibility of yielding an unlimited return.

If all the known refined gold at the end of the year 1884 were cast in a cube, each side would meas ure only 33.4 feet.
 Plenty of Gold in Ground
 Gold being one of the yard sticks of value, to provide more of it for necessities is a constant problem; and the man who can deliver it performs a valuable service. There is plenty of gold in the ground. The only diff culty is to get it out at a profit.
 The recent increase in price from $20.67 to $35.O4 an ounce has made possible the profitable operation of a great many gold mines which at the old price could not possibly be operated at profit, and has increased con- siderably the profits of all well managed mines.
 Price Was S1O an Ounce
 For over a century prior to 1884 the price of gold in the world markets was fixed at $10 an ounce. At the end of that time the price was raised to $20.67 an ounce. This price was in the world mar kets until the beginning of the year 1883, at which time foreign nations began to pay higher price for the metal, the United States later following suit.
 Finally, in 1884, the United States fixed the price of gold at $35.04, since which time this has been the minimum price.
 An important matter to consid CT is the mining and refining of the metal at a cost whereby a profit may be had.
 Standard Methods Used
 There is no mystery in the pro- duction of gold. It is necessary only that well established, and known methods of mining and refining be used to make a gold mine pay, providing there is suf

Others Are Bitter

Philadelphia, June 22--(UP)-The round robin of Al Smith and other dissident democrats brought bitter comment from democratic leaders assembling here for the party's na- tional convention.
 Comment follows:
 Senator Joseph o. O,Mahoney, Wyo.: I'm afraid that Smith will never recover from the error he made when, at Chicago, he didn't move to make RooSevelt's nomina- tion unanimous"
 Senator William c. McAdoo, Calf: "Those gentlemen have been so long effaced as democrats that think their suggestions will be ig. nored. Their statement may increase the Roosevelt majority in Califor- nia."
 Senator F. Ryan Duffy, Wis: "As far as Wisconsin democrats are con- cerned, we're always glad to receive advice, but this is one case when we arc not going to listen to it."
 Al Smith Can Talk
 Philadelphia, June 22-(UP)-Al Smith or any other delegate who wants to talk at the democratic
 national convention will be given and opportunity to do SO, national chairman James A. Farley said to- day. However, 1t was indicated from New York, that Smith, having ore. sented his case to the convention in his appeal to delegates to repu- diate President Roosevelt would not make Q convention appearance
 "Al Smith does not need and ir- vitation to speak before the demo- cratic convention" Farley said. "fIe is a delegate and every delegate who wants 1t will get recognition if he asks. This is 6 democratic convention"
 At the same time 1t was learned that Smith had been asked to pre-. sent his views to the convention by Al Kennedy, an alternate delegate from Queens.
 No Smith Telegram Asked if the Smith telegram would be presented officially to the convention if received by the na- tional committee, Farley snapped: {: Positively not"
 Farley said he was going to con- fer with Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York later today regarding the seconding speech which Lehman will make to the nomination of MT. Roosevelt.
 He would not indicate whether any recognition of the Smith com- munication would be made in any of the convention addresses.
 T haven't anything further to say on that" Farley said. there are plenty of democrats in the coun- try who will give the necessary answer"
