MINERS URGING
GOLD SIANDARD
OF NEW VALUE
The miners of the Black Hills
have started a movement for a re
adjustment of the gold standard at
one-third above its present level,
and an appeal has been made to the
South Dakota delegation in Con
gress along these lines.
The following is the resolution
i
! adopted by a mining committee rep
resenting interested Dakota people:
“We, the undersigned gold miners
and other citizens of South Dakota,
have, with the intention of advising,
instructing and directing our con
gressmen in the matter of desired
adjustment of the gold standard,
unanimously adopted the following
preamble and resolutions, to-wit:
“Whereas, for sheer lack of suf
ficient gold with which to function,
the old gold standard established
two centuries ago has now utterly
collapsed, and
“Whereas, a gold standard can
only be re-established and steadily
sustained by a vast increase in the
regular annual production of gold,
and efficient steps to that end must
speedily be taken; and
“Whereas, the maintenance of a
gold standard rests upon the gold
mining industry; and
‘‘Whereas, the gold mining indus
try has suffered severely owing to
the scarcity and high cost of labor
and the prohibitive prices of ma
chinery and supplies and to such an
extent that more than one-third of
the gold mines throughout the coun
try have been forced to suspend op
erations; and
‘•Whereas, notwithstanding the
recognized importance of gold to the
welfare of the nation, yet it is the
only important product still selling
at the old standard price of S27.67
established two centuries ago; and
“Whereas, the so-called bonanza
mine is a thing of rare occurrence
and contributes but a negligible
quantity to the total supply, the
stable supply being obtained from
large deposits of low grade ore: and
“Whereas, there are vast deposits
I of ore containing S2 to $3 in gold
and one ounce in silver within the
gold mining states which will add
materially to the annual production
if a sufficiently high price is paia
for the product to stimulate pros
pecting and development of these
deposits; and there are. furthermore,'
innumerable veins which have been ]
neglected and are now untouched
due to the high cost of development
and low price paid for the product;
; and

. “Whereas, the production of gold

in the United States since 1916 has
decreased from $95,500,300 to $68,
500,000 in 1918, demonstrating the
fact that gold cannot be produced
profitably under present conditions;
and
‘•Whereas, excluding Alaska, South
Dakota ranks third among the
states of the Union in the produc
tion of gold and the welfare and
prosperity of the Black Hills mining
section of South Dakota is depend
ent upon the gold mining industry;
“Now, therefore, in the faith of
the premises,
“Resolved, That the Congress of
the United States be respectfully
petitioned and urged to take as
promptly as possible, such appropri
ate action as may be effective to
grant the fullest relief to the gold
mining industry of the nation, and
“That the market value of gold
be fixed at not less than $30 per
ounce, and that all newlv-mined gold
be paid for at the newly established
prices.”
Lists have been circulated care
fully in all of the Black Hills towns
and mining camps and over 1,100
signatures gathered.

ZIMMERMAN MAKING
LEOGE
J. F. Zimmerman, well-known
Fairbanks hard rock man, whe went
into the Kantishna district several
weeks ago, is engaged at the present
time in making a search for a galena
ledge on the right limit of Eureka
creek, near the headwaters of that
stream.
Arrivals from the Kantishna state
that Zimmerman recently found ga
lena float in the creek, and he is
now working on the theory that the
ledge is near by. He is very hope
ful of locating the ore body before
the close of the season.
Zimmerman went into the Kan
tishna on the McGonegal boat at
the time A1 Copeland and Tom Blay
lock invaded that district on a
prospecting trip. Copeland and his
partner, however, crossed over to the
Kuskokwim side of the range, while j
Timmerman confined his prospecting
to the Kantishna region proper. And
he had not been there long before
he discovered the float which con
vinced him that he was in close prox
imity to a ledge of galena.

BUZBYY SAW ALASKANS
ON HOMEWARD VOYAGE
i Jay Buzby, Fairbanks boy, who
returned from the States on the
jlast boat, reports that he ran across
two former Fairbanksans on the
| ship which brought him back from
France. They were Virgil Myers,
|son of Mrs. Dr. Myers, and Joe
Doran, both of whom enlisted early
(in the war and managed to get over
'to France. Buzby did not knew
they were aboard his ship until he
i chanced across them after they had
.left Brest.
Buzby is the first Fairbanks boy
to return North from France. He
was stationed at Ploermel during the
entire time he was overseas, so did
1 not get into the fighting. But he
says there was plantv of rain, hard
ly a day passing without a shower,
i during the three months he was
there. His station was about 120
miles inland from Brest.
! Howard Curtis was met at Brest,
;and he seemed to be pretty well oc
cupied with his port duties.
