IN OPPOSITION to this array. it might al

the nominating conventions are held.
And, therefore, it is more thar probable
that both will nominate s~ure-enough

less of a bluff or a straddle in both party
platforms. In this case the election will
stand a good chance of being thrown into
the House. for the Democracy will carry
the South with poor chances of making
up a majority with Northern votes. while
the Republicans viii carry New England,

Sacramento will proceed during the COM
ing year, and during the session of the
Legislature this winter the miners will
endeavor to settle the availability of the
like appropriation by the State, which
has been called in question.
Drift mining in these placer mining
counties has also begun to feel the gen.
e-aI stimulus. The vast beds of pay

formations present a great and profta BILE

There is such a demand for investment
that attention is now actively turning in
this direction, and many drift mines are
being opened, giving promise that in the
comparatively near future the output of
these upper counties will be greater than
ever before.
OF course the discovery of the Randsburg
gold fields has been one of the great events
of the year. and its development will be
one of the important features of the COM
ing year.
All this has brought general prosperity
in It's train, and there is every promise
that during the coming year and the next
one the mining industry will give pros
perity in greater measure to every other
industry and business interest in the
State. There has during the year been a
yery great increase in the amount of min
ing machinery and appliances manu-
factured in this State. Nearly all this

revival greatly within the year. Hydraulic
mining will probably show an increased
output of about 81. 500. 600. Those counties
which hydraulic mining is unhampered
are enjoying an increase in operations and
prosperity, and on the watersheds of the
Sacramento and San Joaquin, where re-
straining dams and the supervision Of
Government engineers are required, the
great operations which were so suddenly
checked years ago are being steadily re-
sumed. Nearly 200 permits to operate
hydraulic mines have been issued by the
Debris Commission under the Caminetti
law to date, and many applications are on
file. Here again the gold output of the
year has not shown the years increase in
mining operations, as time and money
are required to build restraining dams
and reach the point of production. This
years output of the hydraulic mines will
be nearly $4,000 600, and this amount Will
show large increase within two years
from the mines now preparing for opera
tions. The expenditure of the Congress

Seventh, repeal of the law requiring
the assent of two-thirds of the stock
holders of any mining corporation for the
purchase of any additional mining ground
or for the leasing or disposing of prop
erty. This law was directed at manipula-
tions on the Comstock.
1--WE also wish to submit constitu-
tionaI amendment, declaring mining to
be public use. This the Legislature has
repeatedly done, but the Supreme Court
holds it to be a private use and that the
exercise of the right to eminent domain is
not applicable thereto.
"But little claim to originality is made
for any of this proposed legislation, the
various bills being made OF the best fea-
lures of the statutes of the various min
ing States and Territories, all of which
have long since seen the necessity for sup
plying the deficiencies in the Federal
mining law"
The Miners Association has thus a
large programme on hand for the field of
legislation. but the miners are asking for
nothing at the expense of any other indus
try, or for anything at the expense of the
taxpayer.
The San Francisco call., 1896-12-25

! the reports of the Bureau of Mining
several hundred in excess of 1895, while
double the numDer of miners have been
engaged in the laborious occupation of
opening up new mines or in working those
already in operation. Prospectors have
been tramping over the entire State. and
the results of their labors are beginning to
be felt. Mining experts have found their
time fully occupied in inspecting proper
| ties for foreign and local capitalists, who
are prepared to purchase and operate
those properties that fulfill their exacting
| qualifications. The season is now over,
but it is stated by competent authority
| that more mines will change hands within
the next three months than was ever
known in as short period in the history
of the industry. Most of the mines thus
transferred are those which the original
owners had not enough capital to develop,
and many have laid idle for years.
The new owners are prepared to push
development just as soon as the impedi-
ments OF title are swept away and the
season permits active work. There has
been granted by the Debris Com mission
ers permits for operating over Tsp
hydraulic properties. Not all have befk
worked in 1896, but many have, and, It rs
estimated, over $1,500,000 will be the
product from the new hydraulic mines.
The new Randsburg district has hardly
fulfilled expectations as producer,
though S250000 is expected from this
source as new contribution to the gold
production of the State. This district has
shown some wonderfully rich surface in
dications. but no tunnels have been driven
thus far over hundred feet in depth, so
that really nothing is certainly known of
the future production of the district until
proper depth has been reached by the
shafts now being driven.
The statistician of the Mint, President
Valentine of Wells, Fargo, & Co., the
Selby smelter and others who ultimately
handle the gold production of the State,
all agree that there will be marked in
crease in the production for 1896 Both at
the Mint and at the smelter the receipts
of gold have greatly increased over those
of 1895. Wells, Fargo & Co. also report
increased receipts to date, but full reports
will not DE made until after January l,
when the receipts of all the Offices for the
year have been aggregated. From all
sources that it is possible TO con suit it is
believed that there is no county in ths
whole State that will not show some in
crease, while many of them will show a
very marked one. The following esti-
mate by counties may be regarded as
conservative:
The San Francisco call., 1896-12-25
Production by Millions.

1t is interesting to note that the annual
gold productio has been very rapidly in
creased during the last FIVE years. The
product of the world for 1895 IS estimated
by the Director of the United States Mint
at $203, ,443, 772, an increase of $21. 600 900,
or II per cent over the product for 1894,
which in turn was an increase of 26H per
cent over the product of 1898. The same
authority places the United States at the
head of gold producing countries in 1895,
the percentages of the total product being
as follows: United States, 23.1 per cent
the Transvaal, 21.2 per cent; Australasia,
21.1 per cent; Russia. (mainly Slberia).
167 per cent, and the rest of the world
Is per cent.
In 1895 the production was as follows:
Australasia, SAL, 100 500; South Africa,
$40, 346,000 United States, $39, 500 900;
Russia, $27.646, 600. The value of the
product of 1895 from the three principal
gold countries was as follows: United
States, SAG, $50, 200; South Africa, $40, $685.
S69; Australasia. $40. 793. .S24. The world s
product for 1895 was double that of 1888,
when the lowest point was reached.
California and Colorado together pro-
duced nearly $31, 0O0 900 in 1895, and it was
mainly the increase from these two States
which placed the United States again at
the bead of the list. While last year and
this year the production of these two
States has been nearly equal, the gold re-

their population during the past year.
Thousands have been added to the popula-
ton OF the mining regions, and this. with
the influx of money, has given new pros
perity to the business men of every line
in the mining towns. Little machine-shops
and foundries in the principal mountain
towns are busy repairing and making
machinery. Teamsters again line the
mountain roads. Abandoned road houses
have had the broken window panes re-
placed and their doors opened again to
the wayfarer.
There is no question in the minds of
mining men most familiar with the con-
ditions in all the great gold regions of the
world that the revival now begun in Cali
fornia will bring a constantly larger
annual Increase, which will soon place
this State again at the head of the list of
the worlds gold fields. South Africa and
Australia are not likely to much increase
their present annual output, and when
the $S5, 100000 once yielded by California
and the extent and richness of the little
worked lodes and gravel deposits are con-
sidered, this will be seen to be no mere
hopeful dream.

manufacturing has been done in San
Francisco, and the value OF this manu-
featuring output of this City is estimated
at $1,000 600 for the year. OF course a
great proportion of it has been made by
the few great makers of mining machinery
and placed in large mines in other Pacific
Coast States, and shipped to Central and
South America, Australia and other
foreign markets. for San Francisco is yet
the leading creator of the best and biggest
mining machinery. During the year the
Union Iron Works placed in the Ana
conda mine the largest hoists in the world,
and it has contracted to build some of the
largest mills ever constructed.
But California has greatly increased the
demand for mining machinery and Cali
fornia manufacturers have been able to
well hold the home field against Eastern
makers as we'll as successfully competing
with them throughout the West. During
the year the demand has been largely for
prospecting and developing machinery
and a large mum Der of the smaller manu-
facturers have been kept busy. Besides
the demand created by new operations the
market in this line is further stimulated
by the demand for new, improved and
more economical machinery to replace old
appliances, as more attention is being
given now to careful work in milling.
The manufacturers are thus engaged in a
keen competition to produce the best.
There is great present demand for
electrical machinery and supplies for
mining operations and the electrical COM
panies expect great increase in the de-
mand for 1897. 1t is the same with the
powder demand, which has i'm mensely
increased.
But we must 20 tothe mining region to
vividly realize what the mining revival
has done for the prosperity of the State.
The towns along the mountain slopes are
humming with prosperity. Many a de-
serted town has wakened up into life.
Many little towns have doubled or trebled

EARLY ESTIMATES.
Some Figures on the Gold Yield
Given by C'ose OBJ


In mining circles predictions are conf
IDENTIFY made that the yield of 1896 will
approach that of 1881, when $40. .223. 155
was produced. If this prediction is veri-
fed it will mean an increase Of nearly S4.
600, 600 over the product of 1895 and place
California beyond the reach of rivalry in
gold production of any section of the
Western Hemisphere. The State of Colo
rado has been looming up far
the past two years since the Won
derful DEVELOPMENT of the Cripple Creek
district, as possible competitor for the
rank OF the leading gold producing State
and if the unauthenticated estimates of
the production In that State for the first
SIX months OF the present year are sus-
tanned California stands some danger of
having to surrender first place to the lively
State on the eastern slope, but the chances
are that Colorado.as gold producer. must
be content to occupy second place now
and in the future.
The production of gold in this State
IN 1880 amounted to SIS. 334. .317, which
was Sl,4ll,O ,O56 in excess of the pro-
duction OF 1894. After 1881 the produc-
ton declined to about $4,000, 900 year
and remained almost stationary for a
period OF twelve years. The discourage
ment resulting from the enforced cessa-
ton OF hydraulic mining seemed to have
affected the whole industry, which con-
lnued until the marked revival OF the
present year has put new life and vigor
into the industry.
That the mining industry OF California
has taken on new lease OF life and
started on career that will rival that of
its earlier years there are abundant and
convincing signs.
The number of mines, old and new,
which have been added to the list of pro-
ducers In the present year, according to
