Commerce states that the total production Of
California gold sine its first discovery. must be
considerably over one hunlrod millions Of dol
lars: thus being equal to onc-hllf the total
coinage of the country since its separation from
the British Empire. To the S-0,OOO,0 900 re-
ceiyed at the Mint must be added large amounts
received here, and consumed by dentists and
jewellers: considerable amounts shipped from
| San Francisco directly to other countries; the
whole amount of the gold coinage and c%ircula-
ton Of California itself, including the $50 pie
ces stamped bv the United States Assaycr the
shipments received since the LIST Of October,
amounting at this port to noarly or quite 90
100000; and all the god dust now IN the hands
of miners and merchants on the Pacific side
It will not be too large an estimate, probably
to put down the entire production, so far, at
Sl20, 100000.
