gold product OF the last year at $2s, 1885,
GAO, and the silver at $43, 1000, 900. The
production of silver does not vary ma.
tcrially from that of late years. Recent
important gold discoveries in the north.

sections, are expected to make the gold
product almost if not quite equal to the
silver. Whatever may be said of silver

A Great Express Suit.

The Wells Fargo Express company has noti-
iedthe Northern Pacific that they shall require
cars and conveniences for doing an express
business throughout the entire line Of the
Northern Pacific commencing March l. The
latter has directed its officials to eject all ex-
press matter from its trains belonging to the
Wells-Fargo company. If the latter succeed
by legal process in forcing the Northern Paci-
tic to carry their matter, retalitory measures
will be instituted by the Northern Pacific Ex-
press company, by establishing express routes
on railroads now controlled exclusively by
Wells, Fargo & Co. There is great excitement
in railroad circles where the facts are known.
A hard fight is expected
The railroad company, which had mutually
satisfactory contract with the Northern Pacific
Express company will defend the latter's in
terests as far as it is able The officials say
the company will not refuse the Wells & Fargo
people what they ask, but will insist upon grant
ing the cars and conveniences necessary only
upon terms which are equitable and just It
is the intention Of the railroad company to pros
ecute the matter to the utmost limit, and it is
generally expected that testimony will be ad-
duced showing some inside history of express
concerns, and their manner Of doing business,
that will be particularly interesting to those in
teCested in such matters.
