OF INTEREST TO THE POOR MAN.
a Large Increase In the Gold Output OF
the World.

WASHINGTON, March, GA produc-
tion of gold throughout the world of
$50, 600. 900 for the calendar year 1893
is the latest estimate OF the bureau of
the mint, and the figures which have
recently been received verify the esti-
mates made early in the year The
gold production of 1892, as revised ia
the last report of the mint bureau,
was S1is, SCI 900
The increase Of 1900, 900 will be
mainly furnished lay tho United
state, South Africa and Russia.
The figures for the United States,
although not yet quite complete, in.
dicate an increase of 81 900, 900 over
those for 1892, the increase in South
Africa will be about 81. 900, 900, in Rus
sia about $500, ,00O and in Australia also
about 100000. There will bc small
gains in other countries, including
China and japan. but they may be Off
set by small losses elsewhere The re-
turns from Russia and Austria are not
yet complete aud may show an even
larger increase than has been
estimated by Mint Director
Preston. Tho reports which
are constantly reaching the
treasury department indicate the pro
duction of gold is being pushed to it's
maximum, and that improved pro.
ccsses of extracting the metal will Ge
used TO their utmost limit to increase
the output for 1894. Gold to tho
value of $50, 900 was deposited within
a day or two at the Denver mint, and
like deposits are likely to come at
frequent intervals during the remain
der of the year.

they were startled by the sound of
breaking branches and the unmistak-
able rushing of some heavy animals
through the thiclset.
Both men looked to their rifles and
then drew rein to watch the issue. A
few seconds only had elapsed when two
fell-grown giraffes were seen 20 break

But the two hunters were quite un-
