Gold again lures investors

In 1956 Canada freed gold for trading prompting investors and speculators to buy. A major Canadian bank contracted for the output of the Consolidated Discovery Yellowknife and New Dickenson mines and purchases gold from others. Refined kilo, forty and 400 ounce bars serve small and large buyers, with Noranda Mines as a key refiner. Total Canadian gold output runs about 41 million ounces yearly, worth around $185 million, with government subsidies affecting half. The piece notes two drawbacks: no interest and storage costs, and discusses price prospects and past price moves from $20.67 to $35 an ounce.

Dirt to Drug Discovery From Backyard Soil

Curiosity about a handful of dirt led James Burns to isolate a soil organism in collaboration with Dr. D Frank Holtman at the University of Tennessee. They produced an antibiotic, Tennecetin, to fight fungi like ringworm and athlete’s foot, with Massengill Co backing for potential FDA approval. Burns heads the hospital bacteriology department and will receive his PhD next month, while his wife’s death six weeks after their third daughter’s birth is noted as a tragic counterpoint to their scientific success.

US Tightens Quake Watch With Strong Motion System

San Francisco tightens quake monitoring in the western states with teleseismic recorders and 77 strong motion seismographs. The system, centered at the U S Mint in solid rock, provides instant data to field staff and enables rapid on site observation and analysis across the quake belt. Seismographs in Los Angeles and San Francisco buildings, many built from soup kettles, will record local tremors helping engineers assess suitable construction across terrain.
