q ~; 4— Tie Nevada City Nugget, Friday, October 28, 1949 MINE MEN WILL ACCEPT ONLY METAL MONEY Adoption of a motion to accept only metal money was made by mining men attending Westetn, Mining Council Saturday at Grass Valley. The resolution was introduced by Charles O. Hemler, Modesto, who operates mining property in Sierra county. Wendell Robie, Auburn lumberman, seconded. It was the most newsworthy evént of a meeting devoted principally to discussion of gold mining operations and marked by an aggressive talk by Harry Sears, ‘Calaveras gold miner, in which he attacked actions by the government to “put mining out of business.” The dinner’ meeting was attended by approximately 80 representatives of small mining. interests of Nevada, Sierra, Placer, Calaveras, Yuba, Sutter, StanisIaus and other mining counties. J. P. Hall, publisher of a mining journal at Santa Cruz, and president of the council, presided at the meeting. Many condemnatory expressions that government is “strangling gold mining” were made! and Hall quoted President Harry . S. Truman “there are’ too many . small mines which do not have' a_ right to be in business.” The council: demanded right to, sell its product at a price not set . by government order but one set by free open market. The council voted to secure in, formation concerning recent gold shipment to Italy and a report as to. where all gold was being sent. Elton Carvin was appointed by Hall to head a committee for formation of a Nevada-Sierra chapter of the Western Mining Council. Sears in his address outlined a plan of action for the western mine operator which “can bring a large measure of economic revival to our vast western gold mining territory.” Sears said. the government is violating the rights and privileges of gold operators and said, “If it is the intent of government to put us out of business now is the time to find it out.” Sears recommended the council support and press for convertibility of paper money into gold upon’ the. basis;of:.a, gold’ price level determined by, demand instead’ of -govértiment edict; a free gold market; prepare for a legal test to force modification and revision of gold regulations so producers may sell entire production broaden such rights as it had, and through propaganda and opporjtunism build up the belief, in the minds of economists, bankers, the general: public and even gold producers themselves that the price and sale of their gold was limited by the absolute power of government as expressed in gold regulations of the treasury department. The government does not have that power. “Gold mines are held by their owners by direct grants from the government. Whether by claim these grants are valid contracts, specifically conveying the gold, and ‘they are property. Rights acquired against the U. S., arising out of the contract with it, are protected by the fifth amendment of the constitution which holds that no person shall be deprived of property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. “When’a producer is compelled to yield up processed gold at a price fixed by the government, another purchaser and receive a higher price, it is clearly a violation of his property rights.” “PUSS” GRAY AWARDS location or as patented ground . and is-denied the right to seek; PRIZES TO SWIMMERS Br-r-r-r!
