WORLDS GOLD PRODUCTION
This Years Estimates Place the Totals
Over $3.50, 900, 900:


The total production Of gold for the year
1898 was sl57 ,022, ,000 which is fifteen hun
dred thousand greater than the figures given
by Director of the Mint Preston In his report
word having been received from Russia that
$4,000, 900 worth OF gold must be added to
the report OF her production. Already there
are ten and half millions OF increased
product Of gold for the present calendar
year in sight and were snch gain
maintained without any corresponding
increase, the total production for the
present year would aggregate the enor-
nous sum of Sl7s,00 900. And 1t must be
remembered that the frst six months OF a
year are always the period OF the smallest
production of gold because OF the seasons.
Returns from the United States and European
nations indicate that the last six months Of
this year will shov greater increase over
last years productlen sf gold than the ten
and n half millions Of gold referred to above.
Instead OF the production being for this year
Sl78,00, 900, 1t is more likely to exceed
100000, 900 surprising Director Preston's es-
innate OF Sl6S. 900, 900 by more than sl20, ,000-
600. His estimate for next year Is about slsi,-
600, 900, and il the ratio OF increased produce
tion continues, as 1t is likely TO, the pro-
duction OF gold for 1895 may equal S200, ,0O0,-
900 In value. The developement OF new
gold fields In significant, showing that further
discoveries may come at any time. In 1893
the production Of the United States aggregat-
ed nearly $50, ,000, 900, and II Is estimated that
it will exceed S43, 3,000,0 900 this year. Gains
are expected from South America and Russia.

ticipation in violence and the obstruction Of
mails and commerce on the railroads last

one for each railroad In which Debs and tho
other officers Of fhe union were charged with
conspiring with persons on the railroad who
committed acts OF violence.
II was feared that II a conviction was not
secured on one o! these indictments. the
Government might be barred from trying the
officers ON the Others for the reason that the
conspiracy alleged is practically the same aud

In order to avoid any danger on that score
