AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
iormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
About Money
Some facts about money may
be of interest, although that
commodity itself is rather
scarce so far as most of us are
concerned. Our word “dollar,"
by the way, is from the Ger
man term “thaler,” a piece of
money first coined in Bohemia
about the year 1518.
The United States silver dol
lar was first minted in 1794.
Its intrinsic value is less than
half its face value, as it con
tains only 412.5 grains of sil
ver. The origin of the dollai
mark (8) is not known with
certainty.
The motto “In God We
Trust,” first appeared on c
bronze 2-cent piece in 1864
and since 1865 has been issued
on gold and silver coins. The
eagle appeared on the first j
coins issued, and on most of
the coins ever since. Coinage
of silver dollars has practical
ly ceased in recent years.
It may not be generally known
that half-dollars, quarters and
dimes are legal tender only for
debts not exceeding ten dol
lars, while nickels and cents j
are legal tender only up to
twenty-five cents. But any old
kind of money will be accept
ed as legal tender in any j
amount just now we imagine—
especially on subscription ac
counts.
World Money
Among the many noted fig
ures who have come out in fa
vor of a change in the present
monetary system of the world
is H. G. Wells, famous British
author and student of work
affairs. In a recent article he
said:
“It is manifest to everyone
that the existing cash and
credit system is breaking
flown. It is ancient and worn
out. The industrial life of the
world is being strangled in an
immense tangle of debts. A
single world currency and a
world controlled credit system
j constitute a necessary prelim
inary to the rationalization of
: economic life which is the only
i sure foundation of world
peace and prosperity.”

The Holy Geld Standard
Commenting on the aband
onment of the gold standard
by England, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and other countries,
i he Wallace (Idaho) Press
Timer declares that the col-;
lapse of the gold standard is i
now complete and adds:
“The collapse of the gold !
[standard is complete. There1
: are only two countries in the i
world which have sufficient i
gold and neither of them, J
I cranee or the United States,:
dare give up much of it for |
fear of undermining their own !
financial structures. When will
the gold fetish worshipers con
cede that their idol has fallen?
Will they still blindly and
stubbornly refuse the facts and
by so doing accelerate the
chaos and ruin toward which
the commercial world is now;
drifting?
“There is yet time to retrieve
the situation, if reason and
common sense shall prevail,
and constructive thinking be
done and constructive action
be taken. j
“The recent plan for bank
relief for the big eastern \
banks, announced by President i
Hoover with much flourish, !
while good as far as it goes,
■s really only palliative, in
tended to relieve a special in
terest, under special condit
ions, and does not even touch
the underlying cause of dis
tress.”

Mountaineer Boy: “Shore.!
How?”
Officer: “I’ll give you five

Mountaineer: “All right.
Give me the five.”
Officer: “Oh, I’ll pay you
when we come back.”
Mountaineer: “Mister, you
hain’t cornin’ back.”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
November 2, 1921
A moving stunt of more than
th,e ordinary magnitude was
successfully completed when
W. L. Balch finished the
moving of the Ocean View
Cabaret building from Stew
art to Hyder, B. C., this week.
The building, which is 30x48
feet in size and one and one
half stories in height, was
lowered onto a large scow at
high tide and brought to the
new site in about 30 minutes
after leaving Stewart . The
[structure is owned by W. R.
Tooth, who plans to add an
other story and convert it in
to a modern hotel.
Letters received from parties
who attended the sessions of
the American Mining Congress
in Chicago speak in the high
est terms of the Alaska min
eral exhibit, and especially of
Hyder’s contributon.
Somewhere in Hyder or
Stewart, an American flag is
cached away which is needed 1
to fly over the Hyder school-1
house. The flag belongs to
Dan Lindeborg and was offer- j
ed to the school board, but
when he went to get it, it was
not home. Then he remember
ed that he had loaned it to
some one and Mrs. P. R. Back
us, secretary of the school
board, went on its trail. The
chase led all over Hyder and
Stewart, and she eventually
found that it had passed thru
so many hands that all trace of
it was lost.
Tomorrow evening is the
regular monthly meeting night
of the Hyder Commercial As- i
sociation. This association can
be made a powerful organiza-1
j tion for the benefit of the com- j
j munity only in proportion to
| the interest taken in the
I meetings. By concerted ef- .
fort alone can any material i
benefit be accomplished, and
self-interest, aside from any al
truistic principle, should draw
i all the residents of the com
| munity together, whether
| property owners or not.
J A son was born in Rupert on
October 21 to Mr. and Mrs. R.
L. Clothier. This is their sec
ond boy. Pretty soon Roy will
get out of packing in the wood.
Jens Pederson and Jack Web-|
ster rode in on the storm Fri- i
day with their 30-foot launch
from down the canal. They j
have been prospecting along
the coast for two months,
spending most of the time on
Cleveland Peninsula along
Behm Canal, where they made
some promising free gold lo
cations.
Some fine ore from the Pay
Ore group was brought to
town this week by Wm. Mur
phy, who has been working
on the property for two
months. The group is situated |
northwest of the Indian group 1
and three leads have been
found on it. A tunnel on one of |
these shows three feet of solid
steel galena and iron pyrites.
Another vein caries a consid- j
erable quantity of chalcopyrite \
as well as galena.
The Northern Pool Hall j
which, under the ownership of
Robt. C. Jeffrey has become j
one of the most popular recre-!
ational resorts in town, has
been purchased by Walter
Blanton and Holger Johnson
and is under the latter’s active |
management.
