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.”

Nevada City high school’s Yellowjackets stung the San Juan

for a 57-yard gain to the Spartans’ eight. Another Penrose pass
to End Norman Ellis put the locals in front and Doug Atkins
drop-kicked over the bar for a
7-0 lead.

marched to the Yellowjackets 5
where Nevada. City held for
downs. Penrose kicked from the.
end zone to the Yellowjackets 36.
From there the visitors scored
ona pass, Powell to Zimmerman
but failed to convert.

game into the second quarter.
Penrose passed from the midstripe to Ellis on the Spartan nine
and two plays later the samé
combination gave the Yellowjackets a second touchdown. Atkins’ kick was blocked. "
*A touchdown drive in the second quarter paid off with Penrose flipping to Nick Pello on the
Spartan 10. Pello dodged a tackler and was in the end zone and
the half ended with the home
team ahead ,.20-6.
Spartan David Davis intercepted.a third quarter Yellowjacket
pass for its second touchdown.
Nevada City immediately got
the score back. On the first play
after the kickoff Smithson threw

seventh touchdown by recovering
a Yellowjacket bobble at midstripe. Davis crashed through left
tackle, side-stepped the secondary and went all the way. The
conversion ended scoring at 27
