lock, who has had men on their trial tor
L long time, was apprised, and with three
deputies thoroughly armed, proceeded 70
the lair, Tuesday night last. The night
was intensely dark, and the rOOst in the
center of a dense thickct. The officers
Lolsclessly approached, and were about
10 charge upon the outlaws, when the ac-
cidental discharge o. gun alarmed the
latter, and they disappeared in the thick
ct. A volley was fired by the officers,
necessarily at random. bur, rs subseQu, Mt

returned by the robbers until they reach

away. unSucceSSully pursued by the

appeared at a ranch on the Sidney roGd,
which was furnished. and where Black

that the latter have uniformly and greatly
exaggerated the production of silver In
this country, II is one OF the common
estimates that in 1913, the date OF the
California discoveries, the bullion value
Of the worlds stock of plate, coin and

900, 900 in silver. The total production
Of gold and silver in the five years
ending with 1859 was S950,0 900,
being al addition of only IA per

and the greater addition OF 62s per cent.
to the stock OF gold in coin and bars. In
the % years ending with 1873 III" aggre-
gate production OF gold aud SILVER was
S4.582. 0cJ. 1000, which was an addition OF

the gold stock in 1918 in coin, bars and
plate OF ll5 per cent, and to the stock in

of the amount of the worlds stock Of the
precious metals in 1913, or IN any year,
vary considerably, but on any estimate
the two facts are Illustrated, that annual
