About This Item
Auburn: J. P. Hall, 1946. First edition of the October, 1946 issue (published monthly). Quarto. 32 pp. illustrated and with ads. Publisher's printed yellow wrappers, Short split at upperr joint but a very clean and sturdy copy.The main story is the anger over the governments preemptory declaration of mines that have been worked for a number of years as "Non-Mineral." to quote from the front cover-"Owners of and Estimated 6,000 Claims , Developing and Producing Mines, are losing their holding to the U.S. Navy without benefit of Engineering and Legal Help, Many are being ordered to Relinquish Their Rights, for Nothing on Interior Department Engineers' reports that said Claims are "Non-Mineral." Or as it is more succinctly put in the headline for the main article "A Sin! A Crime!! A Damnable Outrage!!!." It seems most of the mines affected were near Randsburg and those mines were still producing. A government order was issued at the end of WWII to close down the gold mines as they were not considered an essential wartime industry. Another reason was the decline in the value of gold.
