WORLD PRODUCTION OF GOLD SPURRED Sc&rcity and High Purchasing Power Is Cause. Washington.--The search for gold is how being carried on at high speed. And, curiously enough, the reason is the economic depression. Whereas there is a surplus of most other products,' gold is scarce and its purchasing power is high. In consequence prospectors are in the fteltl in large nuinbersT old-gold mines, abandoned because of poor yields, have been reppened and are proving profitable jigainj the gold centers of the world nre unusually actifp; and gold stocks have reversed the trend " of market, going up instead of down. Final figures for the world's gold production in 1932 have not yet been have th<* world issued, but according to Conservative estimates a new high of 23,500,000 fine ounces was reached. Our . Washington Letter v. *- :v-' • Df ••. National Editorial Association Washington, February 22--Less than ten days remaining before the gavel falls on this session ©fCongress. The calendars are cluttered with thousands of bills, which have little or no chance of eoactmeat. The auihors of various measures which they regard important either t# themselves or to the country are scampering around trying, to make deals, which will insure a vote. There are0 indications that filibusters will develop effectively blocking definite action on vital legislation. The passage of the prohibition repeal bill in the Senate was unexpected. •The real fight now shifts to the states where it must be ratified by convention within seven years. The belief is expressed in some quarters that the Senate's action was taken too late at this session to permit certain state legislgitur'e& giving consideration to tlie measure;. The scheme; ,of si^te ratification is also -confusing. 1", Reactions from the attempted assassination of President-elect Rdose-. y*slt foreshadow the tightening of re- •strictioais against aliens and liberality., in providing expenses for Secret Ser-1 vice. This special government agency is one of the hardest working groups and probably underpaid considering the importance of their activities. There are few men in the Secret Service whose pay is about $2900 a year. Aside from the protection of the President and his family the Secret Service operatives. are charged with the suppression of counterfeiting and other crimes. Chief Moran told the House Appropriations Committee recently that he was economizing to the extent of adding only seven men after July 1, although he really needed twenty new operatives- The Miami tragedy will undoubtedly increase the Secret Service force. Business leaders of tfte country who were summoned to testify before the Senate Finance Committee are wondering whether any of the ideas they advanced will be incorporated into legislation. The opinions of these national figures were sought by the Senate in an effort to prescribe for the depression.

This was the highest yield since 1924. Prospectors Reappear. An interesting development of gold production in the United States last year was the reappearance in great numbers of the picturesque old-time prospectors, who had practically disappeared In recent years. There is always the chance of gold being found from Oregon to the Yosemite, and unemployment In the western states, particularly In California and Colorado, has sent a small army of the Idle, armed with picks, shovels, pans and1 sluice boxes, into the mountains and valleys. ' ' • One expert of the bureau of mines estimated* that 100,000 men are now engaged in such labors, as compare^! with perhaps 1,000. before the economic whirlwind hit the country. Our Producing Areas. The principal gold-producing areas in this country are in California, Alaska, South Dakota and Colorado, in the order named. Practically all the Important mines In California produce ""Btraight gold," and that is true of the Ilomestake mine in South Dakota, the largest individual producer, and of the mines of Alasfia and Colorado. Placer mining accounted for 20 per cent of;the American production in 1929, which was considered a normal year, while lode mining produced 80 per cent In the placers "the gold is recovered from gravel and sand by hand washing, sluicing, hydraulicking, drifting or dredging, while the -lode mines produce gold mainly from un dergroupd workings, from ore as (to languished from gravel, originated in their own fertile brains. This attitude has been largely responsible for the scuttling of worthy reconstruction measures. The bankruptcy bill has been delayed largely because it did not harmonize with ideas of a few Senators. There is much talk in Congress about the control of production in in dustry and in the control of crops in agriculture. Various proposals have been submitted at this session and Jacob Adams.

Law Suit Over Cemetery ^ Recalls Death of Squaw Fremont, Mich.--There is a depute in court as to ownership of . the old Indian cemetery between John Warmelink. Owner of the farm from which the cemetery originally was taken, and the city of Fremont, which holds quit-claim deeds from the heirs of the original own«fr, Henry Pego. Henry Pego's farm was a half mile south of the city on what was then called rndian Town road, now Stuart street. Pego and a number of other Indians took up many farms from the government along this road. Among the Indian residents was one Wab-e-cake. His squaw ma some mapie sugar, which she took t<£' the home of Wilkes Stuart and ex" changed for two dozen eggs. She boiled them hard and ate the whole two dozen. Within three hours she died In agony. Henry Pego set aside a plot of ground to be used as ao Indian cemetery. and Wab-e-cake's squaw was buried there. As time went on, other Indians also were buried there. Then, In ISKS. Pego sold his farni to I. N. Robinson, but in the deed he reserved the cemetery. . Robinson failed to exempt this plot- In his deed to the next owner and from then Qn down to Warmelink, the deeds^ have Included the'burial plot. No owner, however, before Warme link, ever made any attempt to occtipy the premises. The city was giveh a temporary Injunction against Warm el ink which they will attempt to make permanent. If this is accomplished, the stones in the cemetery will be replaced and a monument to-' the memory of the Indians Will be erected. Twenty Foreign Nations Use. U. S.
