Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's an English translation of the Reuters
dispatch in German, sent to you last night, about

story is much more favorable to gold than we were
able to convey to you last night.

How can you tell if your gold jewelry is real?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

as described by Hugo Salinas Price in the
essay distributed to you earlier today,
could be the decisive blow against the
suppression of the price of both gold and
silver. It would not only show that, given

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Hugo Salinas Price -- businessman, philosopher,
and Mexican patriot -- describes in the essay
appended here the great progress being made in
Mexico toward the remonetization of silver. He
argues for what GATA has been arguing for
