WDRLD'SSUPPLY
. DF GOLD COING
I MIS MT
Geologist Thinks There
Will Be No More Mines
in Few Years.
BERLIN June 20.—The gold stocks
* of the world will soon be exhausted in
. the opinion of Dr. G. Bern a promi-
nent member of the Prussian Geologi-
cal Institute.
» According to Dr. Berg silver produc-
■ tion can continue for an indefinite
> time but he believes that within some
« 30 or 40 years the production of gold
{' in the districts which have been so far
*• exploited will not pay any more and
' thereafter must be stopped.
. . FEW NEW FIELDS IN SIGHT.
- As practically the whole globe has
j already been researched for gold Berg
- does not believe it likely that new
' veins will be struck in the future ex
k cept possibly in Central Aliiea. cer-
tain parts of Eastern Siberia and
* Northern Canada. But even dis-
. coveries of these districts would ac-
• cording to Berg only postpone qxhaus-
J tion for a few decades.
r Professor Berg points out that in
f South Africa which supplies half of
. the world's production gold mining
can be maintained on a profitable
" 'basis by employing the most complicat-
v ed and up-10-date machinery ns the
» South African rock on the average.
? does not yield more tan ten grams of
' gold per ton.
HEAT WILL CLOSE MINES.
I He calculates that within twenty or
thirty years the mines will have been
sunk so far down that work will be-
' come impossible on account of the tre-
> mendous heat reigning in such depths.
* His calculation is based on the assump-
tion that digging would be continued
at the present rate. The world’s total
’ production in 1922 amounted to 63.-
. 000.000 pounds sterling against 96.4
million in 1915.
J The North American mines will
. probably become exhausted about the
same time according to Professor
B-rg. whi e the less important centers
of prodretion might be able to carry
on for onr decade more.
BETTER STEEL DEMAND
FARRELL Pa.. June 20.—Steel
manufacturers report improved de-
mand for pig iron bars plates and
shapes. Sheets and pipe also are in
better demand. Orders for carloads
are coming in more frequently than
* heretofore and one maker predict
' that district plants will be able to
maintain an average of 50 per cent.

enough to flavor it.”
