'Before the war the estimated gold reserve ot the world was $10,000,- 000,000 which represented about 35 per cent of the bonded Indebtedness of warring nations. Today It repre sents less than 8 per cent. , The value of pure gold is fixed at $20.67 per ounce. This price was set when labor and supplies were cheap. Today It costs $30 an ounce to produce gold and the gold miner Is asking the government to pay the difference ot $10 an ounce on new gold produced so that mines will not be forced to close, when gold is needed as never before in world's history. Individually and Industrially onr whole nation depends on a maximum production from our mines and every man In the west should use his best efforts and Intelligence to see that gold and silver mining and the mining Industry as a whole is bet ter understood by the public at' large and measures adopted which will assure Increased production. - ENGLISH AND FRENCH Stockholm, Sept. 12.
