Of this prodigious quantity the 1-2soeth part is sediment. Thus 1t will bs seen that the Mississippi annually derosits enough mud in the gulf to cover square mile of sur face to depth of 240 feet.

 The newest of western mining camps, the CochitI camp, in New Mexico, lies near the ancient Indian village of that name on the west bank of the Rio Grsrde, southwest from Ssnte Fs. The mines lie in ledges which cross at right angles the walls of three csnons, the Cochih, the Pino and the Perslta. Some of the ores already taken out here are very rich. and If the claims ss to their abundance are verified In the con- .inued working, Cochid will prove one of the great gold-beariDg districts of the United Statee. At the mouth of the Pino the central canon of the three, the hum ming, brand new town of Allerton Is situ- sted. Two smaller town sites, Kent City and Eagle, have been laid of, about six miles to the east and to the west respect lively. A few frame and more log houses are interspersed among the tents which constitute the greater part of the residence and business structures of the camp, in which about 2.000 people abide. Saloons and gambling and dance houses are plena- ful and buoy, and even the "old timer" with memories of Dssdwood. and Lead vile, admits that the Cochih has generally the symptoms of booming camp.
 The London Economist calls attention to the persistence with which gold con- tinues to flow to London from foreign countries It says that there has not been single week siros the beginning of the year in which the receipts of gold at the Bank of England have not exceeded the withdrawals. The net influx for the sevsn- teen weeks amounts to s22. .sa0. 900. As there has been during the same period gain of l4,12s, ,475 gold from the domes- tic circulation, the banks stock of the yellow metal has risen to the enormous total of $159, ,191 ,035. in comparison with s122, ,442, ,560 at the end of last year. The Economist draws 6 pertinent lesson for the bimstallist alarmists from this plethoric supply of the yellow metal. "When bimetallists," 1t says, "are be- wailing more loudly than ever an alleged scarcity of gold, 1t would be well if they could give us some reasonable explanation of this accumulation. They have always been proclaiming that. unless larger use was made of silver, the struggle for gold would become so intense as to produce widespread disaster. And we see how their predictions are being fulfilled"
