ECONOMICS CAUSE MODERN GOLD RUSH Depression Cure May Be Found by World Army of Seekers. B the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo,, December 1.—Scat- in many parts of the globe, an of men and women has been mak- ing a flank attack upon worldwide eco- fln‘c disorder in a determined search d. Wg)!lle this concerted effort is bring- dng financial gain to many of the searchers, there is always a chance that some discovery may open up & new bonanza to bring a rich flow into the they started with. Moest of the amateur prospectors worked in the hills around Grants Pass and in Baker County, in Eastern Oregon. Several schools were set up by chambers of commerce in Oregon to instruct in small-scale min- ing cperations. In Washington, Clarence Jordan ac- quired an old claim on Flag Mountain, | near Wenatchee, scooped out about $10,000 worth of gold, and then de- cided to let the rest of the treasure remain under ground so as not to be bothered with too much wealth on his hands at one time. This occurred in the Swauk Creek area, where, in years past, miners took out about $4,000,000 | in gold. - Airplane transportation has revolu tionized gold mining in Alaska, miners now covering great distances with ease, | whereas in the old days they “mushed” tor!uous]& over forbidding passes. Gold shipments from Alaska during October | this year were valued at $1,743,630, the | largest in any one month in a decade. | Much of the gold represented clean-up | from dredges in the Nome and Fair- | banks districts. .

HIGHER FARM PRICES CALLED ESSENTIAL | Southeastern Council Session Told | Need of Agricultural and Industrial Parity. By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 1 —Restoration of parity between agri- | culture and industry, and raising agri- cultural commodity’ prices offer the most immediate problem for economic betterment in the United States, Gen. R. E. Wood of Chicago, president of Sears, Roebuck Co., told the Southeast- ern, Council here. “But please bear in mind,” said Gen. Wood, “that the raising of prices ap- plies only to domestic consumption. Any attempt to fix or peg a price on a world market is doomed to disaster.” Discussing the South’s problems, Gen. od said they were similar to th of the Middle West and the two sec- tions suffered from the same causes: “The farmer is forced to buy in a pro- lkecttfid market and sell in a world mar- et. The domestic allotment plan of farm relief, Gen. Wood said, probably will be agreed upon by farm leaders of the country out of several proposed meas- ures to aid the farmer. Dr. L. N. Duncan, regent of Ala- bama Polytechnic Institute, told the council of many examples of what could be accomplished by co-operation of the city dweller with the producer. INFLUENZA HAS GAIN An increase in influenza, centering in the West and Sout.i, was noted yester- day in Public Health Service reports. ‘The total number of cases for the week ending November 26 was 6,306, as against 3,086 for the week previous. Alabama had 1940 cases, as against 204 the week before; Louisiana, 600, against 23; Arizona, 479, against 175; California, 1721, against 903, and Oregon, 112, against 81 WILLIAM H.

Hill, | died at his home here Tuesday after | an extended illness He retired from his railroading activ- ities more than 25 years ago, after | being & leading figure for 30 years in railroad building and the agricultural | development of Northwest States. Pisher started his railroad career, when 20 years old, as & clerk in the offices of the Dubuque & Sioux City Railway at Dubuque, Iowa. After nine years in the employ of that company and the old Cedar Falls & Minnesota Railway he came here in 1873 as at- torney for the receiver of the old St. Paul & Pacific Railway. ‘The road was reorganized by Mr. Hill later as the nucleus of the Great Nortl ern System and Mr. Pisher worked with the “Empire Builder” until 1884, when he became president and general man- ager of the St. Paul & Duluth Rail- way. He and his associates built the first railroad connecting St. Paul with Duluth and was one of the leaders in developing the iron mining industry in Northern Minnesota. In 1888 he became vice president and general manager of the Duluth & Win- nipeg Railway, holding that position until he retired. Millionaire Loses Divorce Fight. LOS ANGELES, December 1 (#).— A motion for a final decree of divorce from Mrs. Margaret Plato Whitaker, former film actress, filed by Francis ‘Whitaker, Beverly Hills millionaire, was denied Tuesday by Superior Judge W. 8. Baird. Whitaker won an interlocutory decree of divorce on a cross complaint when he contested Mrs. Whitaker’s divorce suit two years ago. She accused him of habitual intoxication and cruelty, while he charged her with intoxication and infidelity. The decree was denied pending out- ct.){me of an appeal made by Mrs. Whit- e: MANITOBA HOLDS TWO IN DEATH OF "INFANTS By the Associated Press.

Tushes to Colorado in the late 50's, to the Black Hills in South Dakota in the "10s; the great gold strikes in Australia d South Africa, and the spectacular tampede to the Kiondike in the late '90s—all had effect upon the economic conditions in the perods in which they occurred. Economists have traced re- covery from many of the depressions through influx of new gold. Driven by urgent need to pan a few dollars’ worth of gold daily from creeks and worked-over gold fields, or lured by | hopes of wealth, power and luxury to prospect in remote and unbeaten wilder- nesses, hundreds of thousands of men— and some women—have been engaged with pans, picks and sluice boxes. Many unemployed have received instructions, in gold-mining schools. Some have made | good strikes, many have made wages and many have faiied. Many abandoned | ‘workings have been reopened by operat- ing companies. Results of this concerted effort are attested by the increased flow of gold | into the United States Mint. While the total production of gold in the world has increased by about 10 per cent, there has been a corresponding increase in this country. Deposits Doubled. Individual deposits have doubled at the Denver Mint, which receives a large share of the new gold produced in the West. For the first 10 months this year & total of more than $12,500,000 gold ! b A was received, an increase of about $1,-| .

One of the notable contributions was s bag of nuggets worth about $200, which had been gathered by a one-| armed Mexican from the Weaver Creek | district in Arizona beside the main highway between Prescott and Phoenix. Gold hunters numbering 12,000 to | 15,000 operating in the fields of Calis | fornia during the Summer took out be- tween $400,000 and $500,000 of the yel- low metal, Walter W. Bradley, Califor- nia State minerologist, estimated. This was exclusive of quartz or deep-mine operations. Gold hunters in California operated all the way from the deserts in the South to the Oregon line. The great majority of the California gold army barelyeked out an existence during the Summer, Bradley said, in | estimating the avefsge daily earnings| &t 40 to 50 cents. A few of the luckier | ones ran $1 to $2 a day, and one or| two picked up nuggets worth $40 to $50. There was a case of one gold| hunter taking out $300 from one patch of gravel. Two or three comparatively | rich strikes were made, including one | at Jackass Hill, Mark Twain’s stamping | ground in the Bonanza days. Bradley said one pocket hunter took $15,000 to $16,000 worth of gold there in about two months. A Nest of Tables is always an acceptable gift at Christ- mas time.
