In 1882 the sum of $9,939,975 were paid
in dividends by incorporated companies.
This was slight falling off from the pre-
ceding year. One hundred and seventy
five companies made assessments upon
stockholders for the purpose of carrying
on operations amounting to about S9,000,-
600. During the year there was greater
decline in the amount deposited at the
mints and assay Offices than the difference
between the gold production of 1881 and
1882, but there was larger amount of
gold consumed by the mechanical indus
tries of the country. The amount of sill
yer deposited at the mints and assay
offices increased about 3,500,
600, which corresponds closely to
the increased production of
the year. The excess of production over
consumption for the year, added to the
net imports of gold, resulted in a net gain
to the circulation of less than 100000
gold, but by coinage and net import of
coin the metallic circulation gained nearly
$39, 100000 in gold and about S27,6OO,OOO
in silver coin. California still maintains
the second place in the list of gold and
silver producing states and territories, and
is likely to do so for some time to come.
The suits brought to prevent the deposit
of debris from placer and hydraulic mines
have been virtually settled. More
attention is also being paid to the de-
velopment of quartz mines in Califor-
MIA, and their low grade ores by
improved amalgamated processes, which
promise to yield in future steady if not
large profits. Its gold fields show no evil
denees of exhaustion. On the contrary the
magnitude of the deposits in ancient river
beds,th number and permanence of quartz
lodes, as well as virgin ground yet un-
developed, insure golden harvest for many
years to come. Nevada shows a decrease
in gold and silver of about $1,5C0,0OO,
which is chiefly due to the pid decline in
the yield of the great Comstock lode.
which reduced it from first to third rank
This state has suffered probably more
than any other mining section from stock
speculations and mismauagement in min
ing, but a reaction seems to be setting in.
and mining in Nevada is being conducted
on more substantial basis. In Idaho the
production in gold is slightly less than in
the preceding year, but there was nota-
ble increase in silver. In Montana the
! mining industry increased in Importance,
the increased yield having been in silver,
which from $2,63OOOO in 1881, is in 1892
$4,370,OOO. Utah shows an increase of
production 100000 in silver, and the
permanency of her mining in the
territory is assured. Arizona has
maintained her large production, nearly
$6,5OO,O0O. New Mexico, the Oldest min
ing section of the country, has not hither
to appeared as large producer of bullion,
but during the last two years rich discov-
cries have been made which increased tn e
annual production to $8OO0OO. In Col
orado it has been claimed there was a
large excess of production in 1882 over
1881, but from an examination of the re-
ports, the shipments of ore and bullion
and smelling works shows the increase has
been in the value of base metals.

over the border to South Carolina. Last

and worked in queer, almost mysterious
manner, making converts. Two weeks
ago other Mormon preachers to the mum.
Der of fifteen joined them, and more ear
nest work was begun. The Mormons be-
came more open in preaching their doc
trine, and broke up congregation of the
Baptist church, making proselytes of
nearly all the members.
Attention has been directed to practices
which are barbarous and shockingly inde-

ministered at night in streams or ponds.
the women being in state of absolute
nudity. Spies on watch made this discov-
cry, and the greatest Indignation was
aroused, which is fast spreading all over
the state. The MOrmons meet the women
in the fields or houses alone and convert
them, baptize them in the way stated and
at once send them west. In four DAYS LOG
int
The missionaries state they are not afraid,
but will begin work in districts nearer the
center of the state. They are now con-
Quoting their operations in Rutherford
county. 1t Is understood plans are on foot
to deal out punishment to them, and lynch
law will be given them it is intimated. The
press of that part of the state is taking
vigorous hold of the subject and the shot
gun recommended as the only thing proper
for remedy. 1t is probable ere long a
tragedy will result unless the Mormons flee
the state. The missionaries work sepa-
rately, but once a month meet in secluded
places and compare notes. They devote
themselves to women, and form the ac-
quaintance of these by casual calls at the
houses. The wives of two men have disap-
peared, and these, it is believed, have been
baptized and shipped away secretly.
Thursday night one of these baptisns took
place in Duncan creek, near Rutherford
ton, at which nine women were stripped
by the missionaries and then immersed.
There are vague hints of even more repul-
sive practices, which add to the indigna-
tion. There will doubtless be an attempt
to secure the action and aid of the state in
the matter, but within ten days, unless the
missionaries depart, their work will be
brought to a terrible ending.

GOLD And SILVER.
The Product of 1882 as Reported by the
Director of the Mint-Our Mineral Re
soures Apparently Inexhaustible.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The following is
an abstract of the special report of Burch
ard. director of the mint, upon the pro-
duction of precious metals in the United
States now in the hands of the printer.
The yield of mines of the United States
for 1882 was $32,5O0,OO0 in gold, and
46,8OO,000 in silver. Compared with the
previous year this shows a decline of
s., 100000 in gold and an increase of
$500, 900 in silver. The comparative de-
cline in the production of gold was greater
in California than any other state or ter
ritory, the yield being $1,400,000 less than
in 1881. This resulted from the inter
ruptiou of hydraulic mining in some of
the northern and middle counties of the
state, owing to litigation, and also from
the falling off in the production of the
quartz mines at Bodie. In Oregon where
the mining is chiefly placer, there was
diminution, and also in Nevada, Idaho
and Dakota. In silver the principal in
crease was In Idaho, Montana
and New Mexico. Idaho showing an
increase of 100000, Montana $1,740,OOO
and New Mexico $1,5OO,OOO. Colorado
furnished about 100000 less silver than in
1881. Of the bullion production of the
country $3O,964,958 gold and $31 1,4OO,792
silver were deposited at the mints and as
say Offices for coinage or return in bars to
depositors. OF the deposits gold $5,6OO,-
600 were paid in bars for manufacturing
purposes, and the remainder went into
coinage, $4,000 was furnished by the
principal refneries for manufacturers use,
and there was an export of $4,000 in
silver bars. OF the total silver production,
$15,75O,OOO were exported, $5,994, 900
furnished by the mints and
assay offices to manu-
facturers, $35O,OOO, by private refinery
for the same purpose and $24,7OO,OOO used
in coinage. the production of the coun-
try was from the states and territories as
follows.
