SUMMARY GIVEN OF GOID
PRODUCTION UNITED STATES
To supply the mineral industry
promptly with data on gold and
silver production during the last
year, the following information is
furnished by the United States Bur
eau of Mines at Washington, D. C.,
under date of October 8:
The total gold production in the
United States in 1933 amounted to
2,552,459.85 ounces, valued at $52,
764,028 based on the statutory value
value of $20.67 per fine ounce) as
against 2,513,756.90 fine ounces in
1932, valued at $51,963,967 (at the
same basic valuation per fine
ounce). This represents an increase
of 38,702.95 fine ounces and an in
crease in value of $800,061. The
value of the 1933 gold production
based on the average weighted val
ue of $25.56 per fine ounce was
$65,240,873 or an increase of $13,
276,906 over 1932.
The smallest increase was regis
tered from the thirteen Western
States and Alaska, where the total
gold production gained only 0.1 per
cent over that of 1932. Output de
clined in Colorado, Nevada, Texas,
Utah and Washington, but gains
were recorded in Alaska, Arizona,
California, Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota and
Wyoming. Cause for increases and
decreases follow no empirical for
mula, and changes in output must
be considered not only State by
State but also district by district.
There was a quickening of the in
dustry in the placer and dry-ore
areas from September through De
cember, which has continued and
will be reflected in an increase in
1934.
I A complete account of regulations
pertaining to gold and silver and
detailed statistics of production, by
States, are given in the chapter on
“Gold and Silver” in Minerals Year
book 1934, issued by the United
States Bureau of Mines. This vol
ume of-1154 pages includes 72 chap
ters on all industrial minerals, and
may be purchased for $1.75 from
the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Wash
ington, D. C.
No year in a generation has wit
nessed such rapid developments ir
■ the domestic gold market as prevail
ed in 1933. After April 19 there
would have been profit in selling
gold abroad, but an Executive Or
der of April forbade the hoarding
of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold
certificates. On April 20, 1933, an
other executive order,' relating to
foreign exchange and earmarking
and exporting of gold coin, bullion,

or currency, forbade the export of
gold bullion. On July 27, the news
papers announced a decision of the
attorney general, effective August
9, that permitted export to 75 per
cent of the United States gold-mine
production but made it impractic
able for the remaining 25 per cent,
a situation which would have soon
resulted in the closing of many
smelters.
The President on August 29, is
sued an executive order coupled
with an anti-hoarding clause, under
which the United States Govern
ment acted as agent for producers
of newly mined gold to obtain the
world price through the United
States Mint and Federal Reserve
banks.
On October 25, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation began buying
newly mined gold at arbitrarily fix
ed and periodically rising prices,
the day-by-day price generally be
ing above the world price. On Oct
ober 27, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation was authorized by Pres
idential order to extend Govern
ment purchase of gold by entering
foreign markets and began to bid
for gold in Paris and London mar
kets, offering $32.26 an ounce. On
January 16, 1934, the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York began pay
ing depositors by check the United
States price of $34.54 per ounce, less
a small commission, coincident with
the President’s message of January
15 to Congress recommending that
the upper limit of permissible reval
uation of the dollar be 60 per cent.

AN OPEN LETTER V
NOVEMBER 7th. 1934.
'
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME :
Believing it is pardonable, we take pride in bringing to your attention
the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly
the service given you since the disastrous fire which destroyed practically all of
this city’s business section.
Within twenty four hours after the fire started our fast steel cargo
' and passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo
for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from
Seattle to Nome. Immediately th^S. S. Dellwood sailed, another of our steel car
go steamers, the S. S. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overflow
cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to
particularly point out the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed.
Upon arrival here the two vessels discharged their cargoes with all dispatch and
have now returned to Seattle.
The United States Government gave to .Nome for emergency relief
purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP
COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates in half, contributed practically the same
amount. With that, this company, if it could be possible, gave even more prompt
and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon
struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart
edly and we are proud that we did give it.
L. .. ".t
To give Nome people full opportunity to order needed goods, after
all other steamers had sailed for Nome, our S. S. VICTORIA sailed later than
she has for many years past. She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now
nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage.
Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the
spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con
ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the- re
building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had
u extensive part in this work and we would like to compliment you upon
your integrity, your spirit, your Btrong heartedness, and place with it the sincere
hope that you will never again be stricken as of this recent fire.
Most sincerely,
ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY
