CaIifornia's Rich Gold Fields.

Expert miners predict that the new
South African gold fields will prove
richer even than CALIFORNIA;. This
seems hard TO believe when the i'm
mense amount Of the precious metal
yielded by California l. considered.
The gold produced In that state since
1850 exceeds 81 $50, 100, ami the
yield at pretent am m1unts t. about Sl3,-
DU,OOOayear,or perhaps 81, ,OOV, 900 more
than that of any other State. The out
put has dscrea ed somewhat in recent
years, bat the decline is due not to
any general exhaustion OF the ,erri-
tory, but to the suspon sicn OF the hy-
draulic mines, which Of tn amselves
turned out something like 5000, 600
annually.
These figures set high mark for
boomers OF the South african gold
fields. They represent n contribution
TO the wealth OF the world never
equaled by any similar area of terri
tory on the face Of the earth. Ana
California, Notwithstanding the diver
sion OF vast sums OF her energy and
capital to profitable mining operations
for other minerals, Is still turning out
more than one-third OF al the gold
produced in the United States.

Herman Sacrifices In Russia.

A Siberian paper gives the following
account Of the human sacrifices, which
are still practised in remote parts Of
Russia, aud which the orthodox church
aud the Government have long tried
70 suppress in vain The victims OF
these sacrifices are always voluntary
people who for old age, or ill-healtb,
or poverty, or some other reason, are
tired of life and resolve to quit it.
The Tchuktchi who has made up his
mind TO die immediately notifies his
neighbors and nearest relatives. The
news spreads in the circle of his friends,
and all of them soon visit the unhappy
person TO influence him to change his
mind. Prayers, reproaches, com
plants and tears have no effect on the
fanatic, who explains his reasons,
speaks Of the future life. of the dead
who appear TO him in his sleep, and
even when he Ia awake, calling him TO
them. His friends, seeing him thus
resolved, go away to make the Gus
tomary preparations. At the end oi
from ten to fifteen days they return te
the hut Of the Tchuktchi, with white
mortuary garments aud some weapons
which will be used by the man in the
other world TO fight evil spirits and
hunt the reindeer. After making his
toilet the Tchuktchi withdraws into
the corner OF the hut. His nearest re.
lstive stands by his side, holding in
his hand the instrument of sacrifice, Q
knife, a pike or a rope. After the sac.
rifice the assistants place the body on
q sledge drawn by reindeer, which
draw it to the place Of the funeral.
Arrived at their destination, the
Tchuktchis cut the throat Of the rein
deer, take from the dead body its
clothing, which is torn to pieces, and
place the corpse on lighted funeral
pile. During the incineration the as
sistants offer up prayer to the happy
in the other world, and supplicate
these to watch over them and theirr.
These horrible practices are followed
to-day with the same exactness as in
ancient times.
