FIFTEEN MONTHS
The probable duiation of the per-1
iod of silver purchases under the
terms of the Pittman Act, which
guarantees domestic producers $1
per ounce for the metal until such
time as the 208,000,000 oz. sold to
Great Britain during the war have
been replaced by mint purchases,
is estimated at 15 months by H. N.
Lawrie, managing director of the
American Gold and Silver Institute,
according to the Engineering and
Mining Journal-Press of New York.
The act went into effect in May
1920; since then monthly average
of purchases in 1920 were 3,738,420
oz., in 1921, 4,888,544 oz., and in
1922, 4,798,770 oz. The total silver
purchased to July 25, 1922 was
119,960,506 oz., leaving a total of
approximately 87,000,000 yet to be
purchased. The monthly average
for the 26 months is 4,513,943 oz.
At that rate the 87,000,000 ounces
would be purchased in a period of
19.3 months, At the monthly rate
purchases for the year 1922, how
ever, the period of purchase would
be shortened to 18.2 months. With
the increasing production of copper
and lead, the production of silver
will increase this year, it is esti
mated, by about 6,000,000 ounces.
.
If the probable increase in pro
duction for 1922 is maintained dur
ing 1923 it will decrease the dura
' tion of the Pittman Act by about
three months, indicating a total re
maining period of 15.2 months. It
will be noted that the monthly av
erage of purchases during 1922 is
slightly less than that of 1921,
which does not reflect any decrease
in production for 1922. When al
i lowance is made for the time of
smelter treatment, the increase in
ore production now taking place
will not become evident in the silver
returns of the Mint until the last
months of this year and the first
months of 1923.
To protect their interests silver
producers should be guided in their
operations and plans for the future
marketing of silyer by the mini
mum estimated life of the Pittman
Act of 15 months from July 25,1922
or to about November 1, 1923, ac
cording to Mr. Lawrie.
