Con-. AND GoLD.-A curious fact IS
stated in the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can From the annual report OF the
Director Of the t.. 5. Mint, it appears
that the value of all the gold coined in
the L s. minis for twenty four years
prior to 1911, was SI2.7ll,653, or
somewhat exceeding the average sum OF
half a million a ycar--a very conSldrra-
bic addition to the stock OF American
wealth; but it appears from the returns
ofthe coal trade in Pennsylvania, that
the value of this commodity brought to
market in that State is annually equal to
the above large amount the last year, for
example, the value Of her Anthracite
brought down to Internationally 81
100000 tons--was actually equal to the
value OF all this gold dug UP in the
South during the whole twenty four
years. From this it appears that our
Northern Maryland as well as Pcnnsyl-
vania,) coal mines are more valuable
gold mines than those Of thr South.
