SAY GOLD IS NEEDED
.AS-
it Is high time that the people of
the west face the facts regarding the
gold and sliver mining Industry,
says the Coast Manufacturer.
'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. -
