THE GOLD PRODUCT.
Likely to BE Larger Than Ever for this
Next FIFTY YeRrs.

It is now evident that the production
of gold for the next so years will be al
together unprecedented. This produc.
ton has been vigorously stimulated
by fresh discoveries of mines, by new
and cheap mining processes and by the
fall of silver, leading miners to pay
greater attention to the other metal.
The operation of the latter factor is
best seen in Colorado, where the pro-
duction of gold rose from $5,300,000 in
1892 to $7,527,000 in 1893, and to about
100000 in 1894. The production for
1895 in Colorado is confidently expected
tn reach $2O,oO0,Oo0. The director of
the mint is of the opinion that the pro-
duction of the United States rose from
$3S,014,0s1 in 1892 to about $50, 100000
in 1894, while other good authorities
put the production for 1894 at $780,
100000. The annual product of other
great producing countries show large
increase of late years. In his notable
article in the North American Review,
Mr.. Preston states that the worlds pro-
duction of gold for 1893 was "the
largest in history, amounting in round
numbers to $155, ,522, ,000." The product
for 1894, however, very largely exceed
ed-probably by 25 per cent.-the
product of 1893. There is scarcely any
assignable limit to the gold known to
exist in the world, or even in the United
States. 1t is said that simply by re-
moval of the restrictions on hydraulic
mining California can produce half a
billion of gold. The quantity easily
obtainable in Colorado is stupendous.
Other parts of the United States are
also rich, while Australia and Russia
probably possesses q stock equal to
our own, and are increasing the annual
output every year.
But the most surprising, and, so to
speak, revolutionary facts. regarding
gold that have recently come to light,
are those concerning the great Wit
watersrandt mines of South Africa.
There gold is found in enormous guam
titles and in a cheaply workable form
in a new geological situation-"in
strata, the component parts of which
are pieces of quartz held together by a
clayey cement."-Popular Science

ESCAPED FROM A MOS.
Alleged Barn Burner Takes Flight While
His Companion Is Being Lynched.

Lexington, KY, Feb. 1s.--A mob of
20 masked men attacked the Wayne
county Jail ut Monticello ut an early
hour Sunday morning. The jailer was
overpowered, his keys taken away, the
cells unlocked and Fountain Martin
and James TroXell (white men), who
were arrested several weeks ago
charged with burning the barn of Bon
ME Bates, were taken from the prison.
The men were carried to n point near
Steubenville, where, in n little grove,
the body of Martin was found, cold in
death, hanging from limb. He had
no coat, hat or shoes.
TroXeil appeared Mt n farmhouse
three miles from the scene of the hang
ing and got breakfast Sunday morn
ing. lie said that while the mob was
hanging Martin, he made his escape in
the darkness. This was the third at
tempt to lynch TroNell. Three weeks
ago he was taken from his home by a
mob and hung to tree until he was
nearly dead, in order that he might
confess to the burning of Bates barn
or tell who did it. He swore out war

prominent men in and around Steuben-
vile, but he never appeared against
them, and he was later placed in jail
with Martin, who had at first been
charged with burning the Bates barn.
While in Jail each accused the other
of burning the barn and of other barn
burning. The Steubenviile people
learned of these conversations between
Martin and Troxell, and believing
them both guilty of destroying nearly
a score of barns in Wayne county dur
ing the past year, they determined to
make short work of them. No one has
seen TroXell since he got breakfast
Sunday, and it is believed he is making
his way into the Cumberland noun
tains, where pursuit would be well-nigl
impossible. Monticello not being +;
