VAST SUMS GOLD
LOST YEARLY IN
FAROFF LANDS
NEW YORK. Jan. 30.—What be
comes of all the gold produced by the
mines of the world, is a frequent in
quiry, particularly with the growing
importance of gold shipments, and the
question may be answered as fol
lows:
Coinage among civilized nations,
which accounts for about one-fourth
of the production; use in industrial
arts; waste, a five-dollar goldpiece,
for example, losing lVfe per cent in
weight after one year’s use; hoarding,
by which millions of dollars are mys
teriously swallowed up annually
among primitive peoples; and loss, as
through fire, shipwreck and similar
causes.
Gold mining in this country has
fallen off because the industry has
found it hard to turn a profit at post
war prices. The price* of gold has long
been fixed by the government at
$20.67 an ounce. Year in, year out, re
gardless of supply and demand, it re
mains “pegged” up at this figure.
The purchasing value of gold, mean
while, varies, fluctuating with price
levels. An ounce of gold, economists
compute, purchases perhaps only 60
per cent as much now as before the
war. Mine costs, in consequence,
could not be realized on many lower
grade workings and many have shut
down.
Yet gold the world over continues
to come from the earth at a rate esti
mated in 1923 at about $20,000,000,000
worth a year. Gold bullion priced at
$2,501,000,000 was on deposit last year
in the vaults of the U. S. Assay office
in Wall Street, which is regarded as
the most important clearing station in
«
this country for monetary gold and
gold used in fine arts.
At this closely-guarded crossroads
from the goldfield to the bank vault,
the; incoming alloyed gold is melted as (
I
much as 5 times in refining; 5 to
seven assays are made from samples;
the whole weighed and re-weighed,
checked and re-checked.
Platinum is a most valuable by-pro
duct of the refining at the Assay of
fice. As much as 1.500 ounces of it
have been recovered in 12 months, all
velvet for the government, and, quot
ed from $250 to $300 an ounce, worth
from $375,000 to $450,000.
Gold in bars was bought last year
from the' Assay office by American
makers of fine arts objects at a
monthly average of $5,000,000, accord
ing to one outside estimate. The Di
rector of the Mint, from such data as
he had available, calculated the gold
used in industry in the calendar year
1923 was $69,292,245, of which $40,
013,175 was new material.
The Far East and Africa are held
responsible for the disappearance of
much of the world’s gold. India is
called “a great sink for the precious
metal,” and in the last half century
it is estimated to have made away
with at least one and one-half billion
dollars in gold. Gold is used there in
decoration, ornaments and textiles
and hoarded and buried by owners
who die, in many cases, without re
vealing the location of their caches.
This drain is put at several million
dollars annually.
China is said to be even more of a
sponge for gold, while in Africa the
gold paid in wages to Kaffir laborers j
at the mines goes with them to their
kraals and somehow never returns, it
is said. Trading posts well in the
heart of the Dark Continent also re
port a lively demand for gold coins of
whatever currency. Native chiefs,
headmen and veil braves covet the
shining tokens to lavish upon their
women for coin necklaces and ban
gles.

correct this practice.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
