GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION.

GOLD AND SILVER fSODUCElON.
WASHINGTON, April l9.-Burcharcl, di-
rector of the mint, in his special annual re-
port on the production of goli and silver in
the United States for the calender year 1884,
which has been ordered printed, estimates
the production of the country to have been:
Gold, $50, 900, 900; silver, computed at sill
yer dollars coming rate. $4S, 500, ,O00; total,
$40, 60O,O This shows an increase over
the yield of the previous year of about
$500, 09O gold and s., 400, 600 silver. The
total deposits of gold at the mints dnring
the year amounted to $50, SIS, III, of which
$50, S67, 200 was reported as domestic. Ex-
ports of gold bullion, exclusive of United
States bars, amounted to, only $ll5, Geo
To the amount deposited at the mints and
the small amount exported might properly
be added 100000 worth of gold cont ined
in silver bullion exported, and also possibly
500, 900 OF undeposited gold in. the form of
nuggets, grains, etc, used in ornamental
tions, and 5000, 900 in bars in private retin-
cries used for similar purposes. which would
make in all an addition .of about 81, 500, 900.
But of gold received from British Columbia
and the northern states of Mexico, amount
ing to about 81, 100. 900, only s4O0, 0o0 was
deposited at the San Francisco mint as for
eign, and statements furnished by rehners
show that it was refnsd by them and in
cuded in refined bullion deposited at that
mint under the head o. domestic.

reached the floor of the bridge, which
caused the water to pour into the riverside
