Notwith~ anding the expanded
ideas Of California wealth that exist
abroad and at home, it will surprise
not Il few to learn that one-third of
all the gold and silver coined and
uncoinrd in circulation in the world.
ami half Of that used in America,
Europe, and Australia, has been the
product OF The Pacific coast from
1913 to 1874.
THE PRECIOUS METAL PRODUCE OF
THE COAST
has nearly equaIed value of 81
0J3, 00O, 700, the exact figures being
81 ,583, 644,934, Of which &I,347, 800

yer. But for the immense product
poured into Ihc Golfers ofcommercc,
it is difficult to imagine how the
latter could have been carried on,
enormous rs its increase has been
without a corresponding deprccia-
ton IN prices, OF vast expansion OF
the system Of credits and paper
money. To the United States, in
particular, it has supplied nearly
5000, 100000 Of all the precious
metals used in coinage and the arts
since the foundation of the Govern
ment The total amount coined up
to he end Of 1873 was nearly $780,
600, 900, Of which 10000, 900 has
been from California gold and silver.
What would have been done with
out this, AMI how commerce could
have bceu carried on with foreign
nations, are questions that are puz-
cling. 1t seems, indeed, that the

occurring Of late years, is in The
character Of our bullion product
Formerly it was all gold, or nearly
so In 1859 we began to obtain sill
yer, when the yield OF the argentit-
erous lodes Of Nevada a~tonished
the world more than did the placers
of California, and ever since, year
by year, the quantity OF silver has
been increasing, while that of gold
has nearly NH the time steadily de-
creased. Last year the yield of sill
yer on the Pacific Coast slightly eX-
ceeded that Of gold. We have fur
nished the world with gold; we
shall furnish it with silver. That
the silver is needed may be we'll un-
derstooI when it is known that Iu-
dia alone requires 100000, 900
worth Of silver to supply her wants
in this respect. As to the future
prospects, the silver yield ot'Nevada,
Utah, and California is continually
increasing, and the gold yield Of the
coast will increase 50 soon as the
vast unworked and almost unknown
resources of this State are develop

bullion comes in plain bars. When
sent from the bank it is put into a
large bag, from which it's taken
when brought to the railroad cars
and placed on the floor Of the car.
In this way it is brought t. the
city. Most Of the gold and silver
is coined here and shipped away
BY the firm of Wells, Fargo 81 Co.,
which has agents at every principal
point on the railroad whose duty it
is to receive and check it. On this

small arsenal shot-gunS aud navy re-

about $50, 900. Wells, Fargo & Go
