YORK (AP) The sudden emergence of a two-price system for gold has placed the nation's three largest gold-mining concerns in a sales dilemma The new system permits the mining companies to seek the highest bidder for gold Previously they sold almost exclusively to the government at $35 an ounce "We have no sales organization" said a spokesman for the Newmont Mining Co operators of the Carling Nev gold mine NeWmont Homestake Mining and Kennecott Copper are the three largest domestic gold producers They turned out about 16 million ounces of gold last year Plans Uncertain Spokesmen for the three companies say their future gold-mining plans are still uncertain because of the unsettled gold-pricing situation Homestake which operates the largest domestic gold mine at Lead SD says it is making no plans for expanded production until a two-market price level is established "We're trying to make ar'rangements to see what we will do" said a Newmont spokesman "We've had several calls and we're trying to sort it out" Clouded By Strike Kennecott's situation is clouded by' the eight-month copper strike Kennecott produces gold at Bingham Utah as a byproduct of its copper operations One Wall Street source said the two-price system because of what appeared to be a higher free-market price would boost the earnings of the gold-mining companies Heretofore the government has held the price of gold at $35 an ounce a price which remains for official government transactions Because of the expense gold mining has not been very profitable says a spokesman for the US Bureau of Mines Costs Per Ounce Wall Street gold analysts say it costs Homestake about $32 an ounce to get gold from its Business News Roundup Steel Union Okays Strike Fund NEW YORK (AP) Maj Gen Maxwell chief of supersonic transport development for the Federal Aviation Administration describes the big airplane project as "the beads and wampum of international trade" Maxwell an Air Force officer told a Wings Club luncheon Wednesday that the sale of one SST abroad would offset the import of 8 million fifths of Scotch whisky or 20000 Volkswagens or 10 million Japanese transistor radios "It will also offset the visit of 23000 US tourists to the continent for a month" he said Maxwell said the aircraft Industry provides the skilled high paying jobs that are commensurate with the US stan dard of living and added that there would be 50000 such jobs associated with the manufacture of the SST which in turn would create 200000 more in goods and services The general said he wa unable to understand why the recently announced year's delay in the SST program to correct technical difficulties caused surprise He said the prototype design simply was not good enough yet to give assurance it would serve as a foundation for a successful operational vehicle Maxwell said every airplane has had deficiencies in range and payload The delay likely will push back the maiden flight of the 2000- mile-an-hour plane
