M’FADDEN STILL HOPEFUL
OF PASSAGE OF GOLD BILL i
•
SEATTLE, April 5—The attitude j
of various house committees on the :
McFadden gold excise and premium j
bill, commonly known as the “gold !
bonus” bill, indicates that there is
much sentiment in Congress in favor
of such a measure and J. F. Call
braith, secretary of the American!
Mining congress at Washington, D. j
C., in a statement received by the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, ex
presses hope for the passage of the
bill. He says a gold bonus act would
mean much to the mining industry
of Alaska. Mr. Callbraith’s state
ment on the McFadden bill says:
“This bill was introduced by Con
gressman Louis T. McFadden, chair
man of the banking and currency
committee of the house, to prevent
a further decline in the nation’s
gold production and the continued
wastage of developed gold ore re
sources by caving, flooding and the
rotting of timbers when tne mines
are shut down. The gold production
, of the nation declined from 101
million dollars in 1915 to 49.5 mil
lion dollars in 1920, which indicates
to what extent the mines have al-1
ready closed down.
“Our present limited resources
are principally low grade ores, de
veloped at great cost and requiring
large-scale operations. The mines
that are still working are mostly re
stricting production to their best
ores, “gutting the mines.”
“The director of the mint reports
that the gold supplied for the man
ufacture of jewelry and other in
dustrial uses in 1919 amounted to
75.5 million dollars, in excess of
the production for that year of 15
million dollars. The price of gold be
ing fixed by the Government has
rendered gold production unprofit
able during this period of rising
costs, while the jewelers and other
consumers of gold being supplied
with their metal at pre-war price
are in effect subsidized.”
