NEwYoRK HISTORICAL SoCIETY.-The follow
ing extract from the proceedings of the last meeting
of the NewYork Historical Society is interesting ::
GA paper was read from memorandum book of
Robert Fulton, relative TO the first steamboats, on
the North River, and their expenses, the latter of
which, from July, 1909, to 1910, were $4,000 !;
and of the steamboats, which piled to the points
NewJersey, the receipts from which in the same
time We're $1,000. The boats on the North River,
two. in number, receipted from 200 to 800. In
1912, there were three boats, whose average re-
cepis were about the same in 1909 and 1910.
The whole expenses at that time for running boat
on the North River were $4,000 per year, and Mr..
Fulton concluded at that time that 10000 acres of
wooded land would furnish fuel for all the steam
boats on the North River perpetually.. A half
dollar American coin, cast under the administra-
ton of Washington, which bore one side the
head of Washington, with the inscription-'G G..
Washington, LIST, 1872 and on the other side an
eagle, and the issue of which was suppressed by
Washington, and the dies broken after six pieces
had been cast, was exhibited"

80 lar as we nave been able to gather from the
conflicting accounts of the shipments of gold from
San Francisco, the above is correct statement
That there have been shipments other than these,
we have no doubt. Our accounts from the Sand
witch Islands, up to the Both December, state that
the receipts of gold from San Francisco, amounted
to $500, 600 OF this only about $50, 600 had been
shipped at other ports, leaving balance of $3.50 900
unaccounted for Our impression is that the aggre-
gate expectation of gold from San Francisco, up
the latest date, amounted to full two millions of
dollars. 1t must be borne in mind that these ship
ments are entirely from the digging of last year,
from June to December, period of six months
equal to about one hundred and fifty working days.
and the product of the labor Of fifteen hundred
men. From these estimates which have been
formed tine total product amounts to between three
and four millions of dollars, from which deduct the
export, and there remains in the hands of the peo
pie of California between one and two millions of
dollars. This is by no means an over-esiimate
Such is the result, derived from the best authority,
of the proceedings in the gold region for the year
1913. We are now about commencing operations
for the wear 1S49
