OUR Production LAST YEAR OF GOLD AMI
SILvER.-Ihe Round Table has an interestIno
summary OF the doiDgs of our gold ana silver
mines during the year 1865. The Weld OF placer
mining has continued to fall off, but the extrac.
uon OF the metals from the quartz rock has been
prosecuted with increased skill and success The
various new methods Of breaking the rock which
nave been tried in Nevada and Colorado have
been abandoned for the old apparatus of stamns
which Is not equaled in effectiveness BY any of
the more recent devices. The stamps are used
however, with greater care, as the finer the stone
Is pulverized the more thoroughly its precious
con'ents are got out. In Nevada the most
remarkable feature in the years operations ia the
decrease IN the product Of the Comstock lode
discovered in lS65, and hitherto SO SURPRISINGLY
valuable. The deeper the rock is worked in that
iooe the poorer il is found to be.

Nevada has furnished silver to the value of mil.
non collars during the last six months. In Idaho
