| A EETLY-PUBIIsHED statement
of the yield of precious metals SHOWS
/ that in 1882 the output Of gold III tho
entire world was valued at Sis, ,000,-
i 600 and Of silver at $9i 900, 600. 1t
| is a fact not generally understood
/ that Russia is the third great producer
of gold, the yield of that country be
/ ing $50, 900, 900. only 81, 400, 900 less
than the United States, and 81, 900, 900
/ less than Australia. The United
/ States is the greatest silver producer,
the yield in 1882 being SIC, $50, 900
Australia, though ranking second in
the production of gold, contributes
/ scarcely any silver to the world s
supply, while Mexico, a great silver
! producer, yields but little gold. The
comparative data shows that the
/ United States is the only nation in
which both of the precious metals are
found in great abundance.
