S4,000,00O, with prospect of this be- ing increased in the future.
 Oregon's product of the precious metals nearly all gold, approximates S50,000,000, the annual output being now nearly $1 100000 As many parts of the State abound with valuable de- posits ot gold and silver the product of these metals is bound to undergo early and marked enlargement.
 Utah. which has been a steady pro- ducer of gold, silver. lead and copper for nearly quarter of a century, has. during this time, turned out these metals to the value of $100,000.000- say, B per cent. silver, Is per cent. lead, per cent. gold and per cent. copper. The annual yield of bullion amounts now to nearly $8,000,000. which output can be maintained and probably increased for many years to come.
 Although Washington Territory has not up to this time greatly distin- guished itself as a bullion producer its record in this respect is likely to undergo an early change, recent ex- plorations slowing the country to be rich, not only in gold and silver but also in mineral deposits of various other kinds. Thus far the Territory has produced gold to the value of about $2,G00.C00 besides some small values in silver and lead The coal output of Washington amounts now to over 100000 tons, worth at the mines nearly five million dollars.
 Wyoming very properly foots the list of our bullion producing States and Territories, its entire yield of the precious metals amounting to less than a million dollars. Its mineral resources are, nevertheless, very con- siderable, gold and silver being among them. Within the past year a number of mining enterprises have been set on foot in this Territory, all with good prospects of success.
 Figuring up the value of the bullion produced within the limits of the United States. it is tound to amount to no less a sum than $2,540,0O0000. As nearly the whole of this has been taken out of our mines within the past forty years, this production greatly exceeds that made meantime in any other country in the world. And yet this output, enormous as it is, does not denote the production of the precious metals we are likely to make hereafter, the yield of our mines hav- ing been steadily on the increase for several years past. How long this vast production is destined to go on is not very clear, though it may and very likely will be, continued for sey- eral decades and may even extend far into the future-S. F.
