No Advertising: Accepted for First Page METALS, MONEY AND PROSPERITY IT IS SIGNIFICANT that the con traction in amount of national currency��� of gold or of paper backed by gold or something of tangible worth; something that will buy anything and everything in the marts of the world���is always coincident with an economic decline and often a forecast of disaster. It is immaterial whether or not the gold is in circulation. It matters nothing whether advantage is taken of the government's promise to exchange paper money for gold; inaction in this respect merely indicates that the people have confidence in the national stability. There is ample historical evidence to show that the failure of mining or the diminution in metallic reserves has been the signal for economic decay. Ancient Rome furnishes an excellent example. The silver discoveries in Mexico and South America had a very potent effect on the countries themselves and also on the nations that absorbed the output. The rise of Great Britain has been due largely to the accumulation of metallic currency and the success of mining operations all over the globe; her decline in recent years has been coincident with a diminution in metallic reserves. The economic chaos in Germany may be traced directly to the absence of currency of international trading value. With the obvious facts in history available, it is difficult to appreciate the posi- tiveness with which the abolition of gold as a standard is recommended by some as a cure for economic instability. Early in 1922 Mr. Ford suggested the issuanee of national paper money, backed by nothing more tangible than the undeveloped water- power resources of the South.- More recently Mr. J. M. Keynes, well known as the author of "Economic Consequences of the War," has published another book, "Monetary Reform," in which he affirms that the gold standard is a "barbarous relic" that is now "remote from the spirit and requirements of the age." No logical alternative to the gold standard has been suggested, and those who advocate its abolition would do well to study history and note the close harmony that has always existed between prosperity and the accumulation of metallic reserves; and, conversely, the chaos that has resulted from depletion. Of course, one may say that the possession of gold naturally indicates prosperity; but several economists ahd near-economists appear to argue that national success may coincide with an absence of tangible reserves. Statistics on the mining," use and resources of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc will always offer a good index of national prosperity.���Engineering and Mining Journal-Press.

The discovery was made by Archie McPhail, who sent samples of ore south for assaying. The samples were taken from the Rex property and the values obtained were platinum $4.80 and gold $10.80 per ton. Previous assays had gone as high as $17 in gold. The ore carries 97 per cent silica. This is, as far as is known, the only ore sample in thi district toi above the Baldy tunnel. A tunnel is now being driven from the Baldy workings to strike the ore vein now being mined, at a lower depth, and when this has been done increased shipments from the mine will be made. ALICE ARM MINING HAS BRIGHT FUTURE (Alice Arm Herald) Although the prospects for the operation of the Dolly Varden mine are not particularly bright for this year, due to entanglements of the owners, it is evident that several properties will be operated this year. The Homestake Mining Co. will be assayed for platinum, and the results obtained will undoubtedly |comraence development work on their property as soon as the snow is off and transportation available.

Hyder residents celebrated Deeoration Day, May 30, byj clearing up the new cemetery and grading a road in to it f rem the main Salmon river road, thus fittingly observing the day that was originally set aside as a memorial to those Union soldiers ���who lost their lives in the civil war1 during the early Ws, and is observed in all the settled communities by decorating the graves of former soldiers and sailors. The town of Hyder was deserted, the women and children making a picnic of the event, while the men did the heavy work of falling superfluous timber, taking out stumps and doing the necessary grading. At noon everybody had a big outdoor lunch, in the preparation of which Lon Doggett acted as principal chef. A mammoth mulligan and a corresponding pot of baked beans, vamp style, formed the central attraction, but there were the finer accessories, usually associated with social functions of the effete Outside, such as ice-cream, angel-food cake, nuts etc. The new cemetery site is located on the gentle slope above the "first rock cut" on the Salmon river road, about a mile north of Hyder, and is a vast improvement over the original ^DUWet site set aside by the Forest Service, which is in the midst of heavy timber on the river bottom, a mile further from town. In anticipation of a new site being selected, Frank Johnson, who died last winter, was buried Stewart* Opera House June 7 GUY BATES POST In "Omar the Tentmaker" June 14 Richard Walton Tully Presents "TRILBY" Commencing 8:00 sharp.
