THE COLO AND SILVER PRODUCT
Annual Report by Wells, Fargo
and Company.
A Careful and Reliable Compilation
of Interesting Statistics.
What the Gold and Silver Producing
States Did During the Year
1S93-The Product
in Mexico.

The annual statement by Wells, Fargo
& Co. of precious metals has just been
received, and supplies much informs-
ton.
In the introduction the report says:
The following is our annual report OF
precious metals produced in the states
and territories west of the Missouri river
(including British Columbia) during
1893. which shows in the aggregate:
Gold, $34. 202, 692; silver, $3s, 49l ,521 !;
copper, 1923, 631, 339; lead. 7756,040.
Total gross result, $104.081, SOL. The
commercial value at which the several
metals named herein have been esti-
mated, is: Silver, "a cents per ounce
copper, 10 cents per pound; lead, $3.50
per cwt.
AS in former reports, allowance must
be made for probable variations from
exact figures, by reason of constantly
increasing facilities for transporting
bullion. ores and base metals from the
mines outside of the express and the
difficulty of getting entirely reliable data
from private sources. Estimates OBJ
tanned in this way are liable to be exsg-
gerated, and are. to considerable de-
gree, guess work but with some modi6-
cations on this account, made herein,
the general results reached, while only
approximately correct, may be accepted
as the closest approximation possible
under the circumstances.

companies as the only company issuing
policy combining accident, total disa-
bility and life insurance in the same
policy. This has made it very popular
wherever introduced. The cost has been
remarkably low, as will be seen from the
following:
