in consequence of fright, superinduced 10y a
sudden collision of the ferry y-boat Bell, which

The GoLD HARvEsT.-At the time of the
first discovery of gold at Suffers Mill, in
California, the amount of gold in the United
States was estimated at $50 100000 Since
that time $3.50, O00,0 600 have been shipped
from California to the Atlantic States, and
$50, 100000, from other places OF that
amount 1920, 600, 600 have been sent abroad,
so that California has nearly trebled the
amount of gold in the Atlantic States in less
than seven years? There cannot at this
time be much, if any, short of $3.50, 000, 600
Of gold in the States east Of the Rocky
Mountains. In addition to this supply for
warded to the Eastern States, we have built
up for ourselves gold currency Of not less
than $50 100000 including the uncoined
dust and bullion in the State. In this esti-
mate no calculation is made for the gold
sent direct from California to foreign ports,
or taken in the pockets and under the special
charge ofpassengers in the steamers. Were
these amounts to be counted, it would add
at least $4,000 600 TO the grand total of
the yield Of California mines-in all $780,
