Yield Of precious Metals I'm 1875.
J. J. Valentine, General Superintendent
of Wells, Fargo IL Co., publishes the annual
statement of the production of precious met.
ais in the States and Territories west of the
Missouri river including British Columbia
and West coast of Mexico, during 1875,
which shows an aggregate yield of $50, $3.50.
OBJ, being an excess Of 50. 487 ,9S2 over that
of 1874, which was the greatest annual yield
in the history of the coast. The yield in Ne.
vada, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, British
Columbia, Montana and Arizona, increased,
and in California, Idaho, Utah and Washing.
ton Territory, it decreased. The increase is.
actual, except for Mexico, Oregon and Ari.
iona, where 1t is apparent, rather than real,
as compared with other years, the regular
product being accounted for and reported,
which was hitherto omitted. The decrease
in California is in the main, occasoned by
stinted supply of water for placer and nv
draulic mining. Present prospects indicate
an aggregate yield of 800 ZOO, 900 for 1915,
of which Nevada will doubtless produce
$50 100000.
