more fnct you must know, rs it has been
several years since you left the mining re-

they are finding rich deposits of gold orc
in formations where biologists had doclar-

instance, good ore has been found in what
looks like rotten sandstone, and in South
Africa 1t is found not only in beds of COM
plctely broken and conglomeratod rocks,
but in u material that looks somewhat
like a waxy, yellow clay turning to stone.
For all these and many other reasons 1 es-
Innate that tho gold yield of this country,
which has stood for some years In tho

to $40, 900, 900 for the current year and so

Gold Production In til Past.
Mr.. Preston continued with many inter
esting details of tho work of his office and
tho methods at the mint, but these have
been presented in many popular works.
The point want to get at Is the proof Of
his general statement by comparing his
forthcoming report with those of previous
years. The old tables present many Gu
rious facts, and perhaps the most curious
Is this: That from the establishment of tho
mint in 1891 till tho close of 1884 tho on
tire amount of gold produced in the Unit
ed States was only $14, 900, 900, and of sill
yer there was not enough to count.
In the next 10 years the silver was $780,
900 and the gold 81, $780, 900, after which
the yield ran down so rapidly that in 1S47
all tho gold produced in this country coin
ed but $3.50, 0S5. Then the boom began,
the wonderful, truly marvellous boom. In
1913 tho yield Of gold was $40, 900, 900, in
1S49 it was $40, 900, 900, and so on till
1853, when it was sos, 900, 900. Ono year

A CHAPTER ON BAGS.
THEIR USES ARE VARIOUS AND THEIR
NUMBER LEGION.

Pretty Affairs Especially Adapted to the
Extravagant Purposes of the E>ay-Party
Bags, Shopping Bags, Opera Bags and
Bags For Fancy Needlcwori.
Any ono who has ever kept house,
first with bags and then without, must
appreciate their undoubted worth.
Among those who have never known
them the bag enthusiasts certainly have
missionary work to do. Ragbags, piece
bags, stringbags buster bags party bags,
fanbags, opera bags shoobags, ringbags
and stocking bags-what moro of text
can any ono desire to preach from than
that? On this present occasion atttAtiOn
is called to three handsome varieties of
bags recently illustrated in The House
wife and suitable for any of the pretty
extravagant purposes of tho day, none
of them being made on the disks, which,
by the way, are cmphatically not proper
for bags to be carried on the arm.
The large bag Of brocadc with its soft
silk lining is Il party bag made to Ca1Ty
slippers, fan, handkerchief, bang comb
and such unconsidcrcd triflCs. Done i'll
black silk or satin, either plain or self
figured, this bag, Is inches in depth, is
just right for shopping bag or to carry
for any similar everyday purpose.
The second is of rich brocadc and lace
and is distinctly an opera bag to contain
glasses, handkerchief, salts bottle and

PORTLAND, Or, June 4.-Merchants in
flooded districts have been at work NOV
ing out goods or raising them on platforms
above the water The river continues to
rise every hour, and the situation becomes
moro and moro perilous Tho river here
is 81 fcet above low water mark. Three
fourths of the Wholesale district is under
fast encroaching upon the best part of the
retail district. Hundreds of small houses
on the flats ;fre surrounded by water up
to the second story and have begun to turn
over. A further rise of n foot will take
them out.
Many merchants are unable to get lum-
Der with which to build platforms to keep
their goods above water. Every available
boat in the city has been hired, and boat
men receive from 81 to IS per hour for
services. The Western Union Telegraph
company's office is surrounded by six feet
of water.
On the cast side many of the elevated
roadways leading to the river arc sub
merged. The Madison street bridge at
the south end Of the city is the only bridge
open to traffic. a rise Of six inches more
will shut off the gas supply of the city.
The Union depot is two feet under water.
and the Union Pacific car shops in Albna
are surrounded by five feet. The Southern
Pacific is the only railroad running trains
into Portland, and they are compelled to
stop at the south end of the city, being
unable to reach either depot. Tho Union
Pacific is hopelessly tied up both by rail
and by boat.

IL the North Atlantic division, which
Constitutes the principal manufacturing
section of the country, section made up
largely of urban populations, the single
are found in smaller proportion than in
any other part of the country. and the
uarried and widowed in larger proper
5iors. Conversely the South Atlantic and
South Central divisions. which are almost
purely agricultural and rural, contain the
largest proportion of single persons and
the smallest proportion of the married.
These results are directly opposed to
popular belief 1t is assumed that the de-
velopmeut of urban population diminishes
the number OF the married. The explana-
ton which naturally suggests itself is that
the larger proportion of marriages in the
manufacturing sections of the country is
due not only to the fact that the native
white population married young and in
large proportion at all ages, but also to the
fact that thu foreign whites, who have
settl, 4 in large numbers in the North
Atlantic division. were either married or
of marriageable age at the time of their
