Mint Directors Report.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Mint Direc-
tor Preston has submitted his report
for the fiscal year 1895 to the secretary
of the treasury. The estimate OF the
approximate stock of money in the
principal countries of the world places
gold at $685. 100000, silver $4,000
100000, uncovered notes, -, 469, 5OO,-
000 The industrial arts utilized
$1O,65S, 6O4 gold and $10,SS3,O4S silver
during the calender year of 1894. The
estimated metallic stock in the United
States July /, 1895, was: Gold, $685.
229,S25; silver, S625.S53,929. The
estimated production of gold and silver
in the United States for the calendar
year of 1894 was Gold, S39, 800, 900;
silver, $31 ,422 1000 The worlds pro-
duction for the same period was: Gold,
$3.50, 626, 100; silver, 1915, S92, 200 (coin-
ing value). $1O6,522, 800 Commercial
value).
Mr. Preston states that the real de-
mOnetization of silver took place in
1858, when the weight of divisional
coins was reduced about Z per cent.
This was not an accident or oversight,
the. house of representatives expressly
declaring its intention to "make gold
the sole standard of value" in large
transactions, and silver subservient to
it for small ones. The act of 1873 was
only nominal, and concerned the law
to the actual monetary condition, so
far as the metallic currency was con-
cerned, that had already existed for a
quarter of century. Since 1873 the
currency laws had not only been in
consistent but contradictory, obstruc-
tive of each others operations and
mutually destructive.
On January l, 1879, the date of the
resumption of specie payments, the
only currency except coin certificates
redeemable in gold, was $346,6S1 ,061
legal tender notes, which the gold re-
serve of $100,000,000 was deemed suffi-
Gent to maintain But paper curren-
cy redeemable at presentation has
increased $155, 100000, issued in pay
ment of silver bullion under the act of
July, 1890. OF these notes there we're
outstanding November l, 1895, $141,-
O92, 2S0, making the obligation of the
government as money $4S7 ,773, 266 re-
deemable on presentation.
Aside from this there were outstand-
ing November l, 1895, 1888 .456 ,236 in
silver certificates, and as the act of
July, 1890, declared it to be the inten-
ton of the government to "maintain
the two metals at parity with each
other upon the present legal ratio, or
such ratio as may be provided by law"
there was on November /, 1895, total
of 1921 ,229 ,532 resting on the basis of
the gold reserve of $100,000,0O0, and
In order to maintain the parity be-
tween the two metals the government
has been compelled to borrow $780,
10000 in gold within the past two

The output of the principal cargo
mills for October shows a decline of
about 100000 feet from September
shipments. There was slight in
crease I'm foreign shipments but q
marked decrease to domestic ports.
The October shipments to foreign
ports were 10,S9S, $40 feet, to domestic
16,933,5 total, 1882, 451. The re-
ports OF ten of the principal cargo
mills on Puget sound, Gray's Harbor
and from South Bend, Wash, show
that up to November there have
been shipped to foreign ports III, 103.-
3ll feet, to domestic ports l53,744,007
feet. This is decided increase over
1894. The Port Blakely Mill Com
pany, of Port Blakely, Wash, will cut
more lumber in 1895 than any other
single mill in the world. ANYWAY.
this mill5has been running one side
nights and both sides IL hours and
turning out nearly 100000 feet in the
"a hours. Up to October | il had
shipped 63,OOO,0OO feet foreign and
some to domestic ports. Now out in
this land which lies SO favored that
the Japanese currents keep it warm

shut down about October and cnt

CLUMP, the defaulting ex-treasurer
of Clallam county, has been sentenced
to six years. The county lost about
$4,000 through his speculatiors and
$37 900 by the failure OF the 1st., Ma
tional bank of Port Angeles, during
his term.
L. r. GRIMES, state auditor, died at
his home in Ellensburg last week, of
complication of diseases. The Gov
ernor Tuesday appointed ]. E. Frost,
a young Ellensburg attorney and
formerly auditor of Kittitas County,
to fill the vacancy. The new auditor
is sterling republican and very pop
ular with all who know him.
The output of the Everett smelter
from January to September l a.
mounts to 100000 worth of gold, sill
yer and lead. A bullion shipment
valued at $4,000 was made to San
Francisco last week. The smelter has
just arranged to treat copper ores. The
Tacoma smelter shipped bullion valued
at $71 ,O1S.O2 to California during
October.
GARDNER, one of the four persons
who took part in the egging of Sutton,
the A. ?. A. lecturer at South Bend,
has been refused new trial and fined
900 and costs. AS the trial has been
quite long, the costs may reach $500.
The trials of the other assailants have
begun, but difficulty will be experience
ed in finding enough people in the
county to act as jurors, who are not in
too close sympathy with one side or
the other. That penalty is quite a
severe one.
The name of John O'Brien Scobey,
editor of the Olympian and represent
ative from Thurston County, is being
quietly sprung on the unsuspecting
public as candidate for gubernatorial
hOnOrs, in the interests of Southwest
crn Washington. However, the press
in various parts of the state are speak
ing good words for Mr.. Scobey and
would undoubtedly give him strong
support. He is good republican
and worker, one who will stay with
a good cause to the end. This, taken
with his ability and wide experience
IN public affairs would make him an
ideal governor. The Southwestern
combination will likely be for Scobey.

Land Titles.

The adoption, in Chicago, of what
is called the Torrens Land Title svs-
tenn, is of interest. In brief, the
system consists of carefully made.
and perfectly authentic registration
OF all real estate titles to land in the
district adopting it. Upon the COM
pletion OF such registration, made by
officials specially designated, a short
certificate is issued to every owner.
This certificate amounts TO the old
warranty deed, and accompanying alb
stract, and the title evidenced thereby.
is guaranteed by the state. In case
OF sale or mortgage, the registrar notes
the transaction in the books. and
makes necessary endorsement on the
certificates, The whole matter can be
done III few minutes, and it has
been found possible to reduce the fees
OF the registrars to the nominal one of
few cents in each case III Austria

erty worth millions can be conveyed,
