GOLD AND SILVE r
Product of the Two Metals During the
Year 1894
An Increase In the Gold Output, While
as to Silver There Was
a Decrease.

Mr.. Preston, director of the mint, esti-
mates the production of gold by the mines
of the United States. approximately. during
the calendar year 1894 to have been 1.010,-
500 fine ounces of the coming value Of
$50, 500. 900, an increase over 1898 of s.. 5OO.-
600. which is the largest amount produced
IN any year since 1878.
The production of silver from the mines
of the United States is estimated to have
approx. mated in 1894 40. 100000 ounces of
the coming value of $64, 100000. showing a
decrease, as compared with 1898, of 1O,-
.00, 600 ounces.
The Leads in Gold ana Silver.
In the production of gold California leads.
with an output of s13.57O.OO0; Colorado
coming second, with s0.491,Oo0; Montana
third with S3,651 600, and South Dakota,
81, ,29S,O 900.
Colorado heads the list in silver by an
output of q. .2S1 400 fine ounces of the COIN
ing value of $50, 1O1 200; Montana second,
with a production of II 500, 600 fine ounces,
followed by Utah, with a production Of
$500. 900 fine ounces, and Idaho with 3,24S.-
500 fine ounces. At the average price Of
silver for the calendar year 1884 C$O.635),
the commercial value of the silver product
of the mines of the United States is $751;
49,, 800.
The estimates of the agents employed
by the mint bureau TO gather the StatlS-
tics of the product of gold and silver for
the several states and territories. make the
gold product aggregate $43, 100000 and the
silver product 81 ,oOO. 600 ounces. The esti-
mate Of the director is based upon the de-
posits of domestic bullion at the mints
and assay offices and upon the returns
from private refineries. which have courte-
ously reported the amount of their output
of both gold and silver and the source
whence the ores from which the same
was extracted were received and not from
the reports of mine owners.
The Worlds Product.
In regard to the worlds product of gold
and silver for 1894 the returns are incom-
plete, but SO far as received show an in
crease in the production of gold over 1893
of about s21,OO0.0O0. the largest increase
being in Africa, namely, s9.6OO.000; Aus
tralia, 5000, 600; followed by the United
States, with an increase Of $3,95O,OO0.
Australia leads the list Of gold producing
countries for 1894, with a production of
s41 ,OOO, 600, the United States taking Sec
ond place
The production of silver in the world. 1t
Is estimated, will be from 45.OOO,0OO to
$50, 100000 ounces for the calendar year
1894. The heaviest falling off in the pro-
duction is in the United States followed by
Australia, Mexico showing a gain Of g.
100000 ounces. Mexico also gains in her
production of gold about one and one-half
million dollars.

PATENT OFFICE PRACTICE.
The Massachusetts Court Decision
VIII Not Affect the New Rules.

The Massachusetts Court Decision
Will Not Affect the New Rules.
The decision of the Massachusetts court
of appeals upholding the Berliner telephone
patent will not affect in any way the prac-
tice of the patent office nor cause the abo-
lition of the rules that were adopted a
month ago in consequence of the overthrow
of the patent by the lower court.
These rules. it is said, were merely in
tended to facilitate the work Of the office.
By them the length of time within which
any notice of alteration or appeal must be
given was reduced from two years to six
months and it was further provided that
when a case had been pending five years
and there seemed to be evidence of in
territorial delay the applicant might be re-
quired to give evidence that such delay was
unavoidable. The Berliner patent had been
pending for fourteen years when it was is
sued, and the objects of the new rules were
to prevent other cases lasting that long.
The Berliner patent was not Cancelled by
the patent office, but by the court, and
there is no need to reissue 1t in consequence
of the decision of the appellate court.

time thirteen claimants, all Of those who
presented themselves. had been put through
the formal questions and had established
the preliminary points of their cases. Two

citizens who aided in the creation of the
fund that was used to relieve their wants
after the death of the heads of their fami-
lies. This relief fund was wisely and gen.
needed assistance until Congress came to
their aid with the appropriation of 5000
in each case of death. 1t was raised quick
ly after the accident by some of Washing
toms large-hearted citizens. and the re-
cipients of its benefits are now earnestly
thanking the donors for their prompt as

CHICAGO, May 22.-Wheat jumped 3
cents on the board today before noon, and
gave promise of holding the greater part Of
it's advance. Liverpool cables We're soaring
outside, dolN 'stic markets were up and the
country was flooding the pit with buying
orders. The main cause for the advance.
however, was the continuation of crop
damage reports. They came into the pit in
a stream from all parts of the wheat belt.
and ranged from stories of slight damage
to narrowing tales of complete destruction.
The July option opened with 1-cent lunge,
starting at "A 5-S. 1t dropped IA cent for
an instant but Immediately plunged up
ward again, touching 10 3-S. The astonish-
ed spectators rested for time aghast at
the sight of 75-cent wheat.and during tenn
porary lull in the excitement prices dropped
back to a trifie below the high figure. An
other wave of buying orders soon struck
the market, however, and July wheat went
sailing again. landing at &c 5-S, just 3 cents
above the opening price. and almost 9
cents higher than it had gone before the
present advance.

terday morning. 1t seems that feud
has existed between the party for
about six months, Ball claims, on ac-
count OF trespnss of stock, and Bodine's
friends claim on account of the fact
that Bodine's family would not associ-
ate with Balls. 1t seems that Bodine
and Ball had an alteration about two
weeks ago over some remarks that
Ball made. A fight resulted, and
threats on both sides of getting even in
the future followed. Yesterday morn
ing, as Bodine was going to his work,
accompanied by his son, boy of -, he
met Ball and his son, who were on
horseback, on the high road. Bodine
had stick in his hand at the time,
and, stepping out in front of Balls
horse, caught the bride, saying
as he did so that then was the time to
settle their trouble. At the same time
he drew back the stick to strike. Ball
thereupon drew his revolver and said,
LET go, or 1 will shoot" This Bodine
did not do, whereupon Ball pulled the
trigger, the ball striking Bodine in the
mouth. Though fatally wounded,
Bodine threw the stick and struck his
slayer, inflicting wound on the side of
his head, and almost Immediately died
in the presence of his son. Ball went
Immediately to Manassas and gave
himself up to the authorities, and was
given preliminary hearing before q
magistrate. Ball was committed to
Jail, but at the hearing some further
facts were elected, which goes to show
that Bodine assumed the aggressive,
and Ball will probably be able to
prove that he acted in self-defense in
the shooting.
