To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The United States Treasury authorities
estimate the worlds production OF gold
the present year at the large sum OF
Nf,co9OW. This Is the largest amount
In any one year in the history OF the
world. IL is larger han at any time du-
ring the palmiest days Of California and
Australia. This fact IS known 10 but
few people, and is significant and impor-
tant. II is in the highest degree probable
that the Mint estimate is too small, as
the officers are very conservative. and the
worlds production is likely TO reach $780,
10000, or nearly that amount.
The United States OF America alone
will probably reach sl5,OO0,OCo, but South
Africa is the banner country, and Austria
liza has recently begun TO produce phe-
nomenal amounts.
