NEW GOLD REGULATIONS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, <JP)~
Under nevT’ regulations issued by
the Treasury Department, consign*
menta of newly mined gold In
tended for sale or export must
.. contain at, least two ounces of re
fined gold, at least two parts gold,
fine, by assay. The gold is to be
receivable in the form* of bars, but
tons, retort, sponge lumps, grains
of dust in native free state free
from earth or stone, or nearly so.
All consignments must be accom
panted by affidavits showing the
source of gold mined or acquired
and these reports wmust be avail
*able for examination by the Trea
sury representative for at least a
year after the consignment has
l»een delivered.
TACOMA, Sept. 7, (/P)—Assur
ing operators of the western min
ing states and Alaska that they
will receive the best obainable
price for gold, Manager A. E.
White of the Tacoma Smelter and
of the American Smelting and Re
fining Company, announced that
his company will pay ore or bull
lo producers an advance of twen
ty dollars sixty-seven cents per
ounce and upon settlement later
the payment of the difference be
tween that amount and the world
price of gold. He said the Fed
eral Reserve Bank will determine
the world price and Baid with gold
selling today in London at twenty
nine dollars seven cents per ounce,
and additional sum for producers
would exceed nine dollars.
Editor's Note:
In an interview with Mr. Jack
son, President of the Miners and
Merchants Bank of Nome, he
states that the terms of settle
ment for gold purchases as given
above for the Tacoma Smelters,
are exactly the same terms that
the Nome Bank plans on giving
to their gold customers, but that j
he has telegraphed for a summary
of the regulations to be sent to
Nome by wire and upon receipt of
this information the Bank will ■
make a definite announcement of
their terms.
Mr. Jackson also states that the
figure of $20.67 per ounce re- ,
fers to an ounce of pure refined i
gold 1000 fine. The actual price
a vendor would receive as an ad
vance on his gold would be that |
percentage of $20.67 that _there
was 100 per cent fine gold in his
lot. In other words if a jot of
gold, when assayed, showed 750 1
fine an advance of $15.50 per
ounce would be paid, less the!
handling charges. The reason;
that the figure of $20.67 is used
is because it is the price the gov-1
ernment pays for an ounce of,
gold of 1000 fineness and is the:
same figure that has been used by !
the local bank for the past thirty;
years.
VISCOUNT GREY DEAD
CHftliSTONBAJMK, England.,
®ept. 7, (A5)—Viaconnt Grey, of
Falloden, former British Foreign
Secretary died at the age of seven
ty-one, after a week’s illness.
Viscount Grey was also Ambass
ador to the United States, and was
conspicuous in British public life
through his diplomatic efforts to
avert the world war and bis insist
ence when the struggle became in
evitable that his country, could not
honorably Temain out of it.
He brought England into the
war with the laconic announce
ment that the “neutrality of Bel
gulm must be preserved,” and be
fore and after the war was a spon
sor and life -long worker for a
League of (Nations to prevent war.
... Viscount Grey of Fallodon, a
title to which be was elevated in
1916, was bom April 25, 1862, the
son of Captain George Grey, “a
Grey of (Northumberland,,” from
whose father he Inherited a baron
etcy Before the war, as Sir Ed
ward Grey, he was known as an
aristocratic democrat, a "silent
Pilot of British diplomacy” and
the greatest living authority on
fly-casting.
Despite his position of power as
a statesman, (Viscount Grey’s life
was frequently described as one of
negative success and disastrous
misfortunes. He sought to found
a league of nations and was com
pelled, himself, to throw his coun
try into the war against Germany.
His wife died in 1906, leaving him
childless. His only brother was
killed in action, leaving the Vis
count no lieir to estates or title
or to carry on the family line.
His stay in Washington as !
British Ambassador ended in Jan
uary in 1920 after a brief four
months in which he did not have
an opportunity to present his cre
dentials as this was the period of
President Wilson’s long illness.
Neverthelefcis, the President was
known to have great respect for
his ideas with Tegard to the Lea
gue of Nations.
After this short term as Ambass
ador. Viscount Grey remained prac
tically in retirement, nursing the!
affliction w'hlch was gradually de
priving him of his sight, and div
iding his time between his “sanc
tuary” for wild fowl on his es
tate at Fallodon and long sojourns
afield with his fishing tackle.

ready Cuban waters bristled with
American warships. Marines are
concentrated as expeditionary forc
es at Quantico.

Cuban capital aboard the cruiser
Indiatnapolis, but thus far he feared
eruption which might bring blood
shed, disorder, anarchy and a de
mand for Intervention may not
come after the new coup Tuesday
by the army, navy and enlisted men
which caused the provisional gov
ernment to resign. Hoping that

be necessary, Roosevelt in an un
precedented move called diplomats
of the leading Latin American nat
ions to his desk to tell them bis
feara, hopes and extreme reluctan
ce to intervene. Swanson is to
assist Ambassador Welles in advis
ing the Pa-esWent of the fast mov
ing situation on the Island.

LOOKS LIKE WAR IN CUBA
HAVANA, Sept 7. (/P)—Cuba’s
tui Du ent situation reached tbo
impasre for which no one saw any
thing but a bloody solution left.
The Administration continued on
the surface to be optimistic an.l
that the coup would be successful
and declared that order would be
maintained. There will be no Am
erican intervention but all sec
tions more conservative than the
opposition group saw intervention
as an accomplished fact unless an
abrupt change in the situation
took place.
In the face of this five man
junta administration set up after
the enlisted men ousted the com
missioned officers and obtained a
free hand. The government tack
led its most dangerous problems.
The Secretary resolved to dis
arm all civilians and began to try
to restore to their former positions
the ousted officers. Impartial ob
servers believed that neither effort
will be successful.
