rused the appended report of a scientific
gentleman on the probable production of
One lode Nevada, the Comstock. There
are scores of other lodes scattered all oyer
the Pacific coast, that will yield in the
coming iyehrs millions upon uiillions of the
precious metals, that have. not yet been
opened, but are awaiting the necessary
capital to develop their richness. We have
our bonanzas in Oregon that Millyet yield
their. millions, while vast number OF our

paying quantities. when properly worked.
But to the PFOSessor's report: Professor

Instructions from Director Lindesrnai.

.Sel,irmer's estimate, will be at the rate Of
three million dollars per month. as soon as
the additional milling capacity now IN

schirmer's estimates ef the yield Of the
Comstock will Increase the annual bullion
product of the United States this year to
s$85, 600, 900, and for the next year $780,
600, 600. The weight of the bullion to be

Runlors from London are to the effect
that war is impending between Germany
and France The, military element of
Germany feels that the late treaty with
FElnee was entirely too lenient, and that
the indemnity paid has already returned to
French Golfers. The possession of Belfoart
by France is deemed dangerous to Germany.
France has rapidly recuperated and will
soon be able to furnish n formidable army
for alliance Svitlps other nations, while
Germany is no richer now than before the
war. Germany's present military armament
is a burden of expense that cannot be borne
much longeEi ands yetshe dare not disafn
in the face OF France.
The Germans are convinced that there
never was more propitious time than the
present to sccurestortheir country a long era
: OF prosperity and peace, and therefore de-
clare that war ought to be promptly UNI
dertaken. Their policy is to march inn
smediately upon Paris, firing mp 4 position
where new treaty of peace could be
Signed which would take away Belfourt
from France, limit her active army,
to be and exact ten millarIsn III cash,
paid in twenty years. If France refuse to
sign stlch a treaty, then Paris could be
attacked and destroyed. have simply
given an outline Of =the reasons given for
believing that there is good foundation for
the runor OF a renewal ofhostilities between
Germany and France. The London Times
ridicules the idea that there is danger of
such war, and we hope the Times is
right.
