GOLD-PAST AND PRESENT.
Prior to California and Africa Discoveries
the Output Was small.

Prior to California and Africa Discoveries
the Output Was small.
From Chambers Journal.
Just before the California discoveries,
namely, in 1S49. the worlds annual output
of gold was only about &C. 000, 600. Then
came the American and Australian
booms, raising the quantity produced in
1858 to the value of $50, 900, 900. After 1853
there was gradual decline TO less than
e200Oo,0OO in 1888. This was the lowest pc
riod. and then the De Kaap and other
discoveries in Africa began to raise the
total slowly again. Between 1888 and 1887
the FL Callao mine in South America and
the Mount Morgan in Australia helped
greatly to enlarge the output, and then in
1887 the "Randt" began to yield of its
riches. The following are the estimates of
mining expert of the worlds gold pro-
duction during the five years 1s9o-9i,
namely: 1890, f23. zoo. 900; 1891, a26, 100 000
1892. e2926o,0 900; 1893. eS1 III. 900: 1894 esq.,
100000. In these estimates no distinction
seems to have been made between mine
valuations and mint valuations; but 1t
will be observed that the estimate for
1894 corresponds with that of the United
States mint authorities.
As to the future of the South African
sources of supply, it is estimated by
Messrs. Hatch & Chalmers, mining engi-
neers. who have lately published an ex-
haustive work on the subject, that before
the end of the present century the Wit
watersrandt mines alone will be yielding
gold to the value of 22o. 000, 600 annually:
that early next century they will turn
out f260oo.0oo annually. and that the
known resources of the district are equal
to total production within the next half
century of e700, 0O0. 900. of which, proba-
bly,. e2OO,0o0,0o0 will be clear profit over
the cost of mining.

Elevator Suit Settled.

The case OF Jas. S. Bishop against the
Board Of Assessors has occupied the at
tention OF the Circuit Court for several
days past, John B. Arnold, Esq, APP
pearing for the plaintiff, and John a.
Murphy, of this city, and Mr.. Wilkinson,
of St. Paul, for the defendants. The
case has attracted considerable interest
among our citizens as 10 the final out
come. The action was commenced by
mandamus proceedings to compel the
assessors to place the Great Northern
Elevator upon the roll for taxation on
the grounds that tins elevator was built
when this was not the terminus of
the road; that private capital would
have built all needed elevators if the
railroad had not; that at the time it
was built, to-wit: III 1886, there was
plenty of storage capacity in Duluth,
where the road passed through, for all
actual needs; if at the time the needs
existed that they no longer exist, and
hence the elevator had passed out from
under the law of eXemption--citing
the warehouse decision from Milwau
kee TO substantiate their claim-while
the defendant claimed that this case
was similar to that of Washburn. Wis,
the same circumstances surrounding
both. Judge Einje was extremely lib
eral with the plaintiff in the introduce
ton of testimony, and showed his lean
ing toward the people as the ones need
ing protection, which was very crafty
ing indeed. After the plaintiff rested
the defendant renewed his motion 10
quash tie proceedings OF mandamus.
The motion was argued at considerable
length, and on being submitted the
Judge ruled sustaining the motion,
sors were right and that the elevator is
not subject to local taxation. The evil
dence showed that about ninety
per cent of all grain passing through
the elevator was for eastern trans pOrta-
ton and but very little was delivered
from other reads through the Great
Northern to the elevator. This decision
we believe, could not have been other
wise in accordance with law and eyi-
dence, but the question arises, can the
law be so changed that these large cor
porations- railroads, elevators, coal
docks, saw mills and loggers that draw
SO heavily upon the city for fire and
police protection can be made to pay
their Just proportion of taxes? None
make such heavy demands upon the city
and county az these, and yet they CON
tribute but little if any to our fund; es-
Gaping with nominal state tax. We
should add to the list our street rail
road, which by an act of the last legis-
lation was taken from the tax roll, and
by that means their taxes were mater
tally reduced. We would pectfu,ly
ask the attention of our legal steering"
committee appointed by the bar associ-
iation for a remedy, and especially
the tax payers to watch the steering"
committee that the enactments be made
clear and comprehensive to the Ordin-
arv mortal without the aid of court or
attorney to determine the intent of the
legislature.

We refer to the marriage Of Miss
Elizabeth Smith and Mr.. Edmund
TwOhy, which occurred ut eight o'clock
last Saturday morning at the Sacred
Heart church, West End. Only the
members OF the two families were pres
ent, beside the officiating clergymen.
Some intimate friends were expecting
the event at about Christmas time, and
this was we believe the true plan, but
business called Mr.. Twohy east, and
the question naturally arose in his mind
we suppose, ''why not take his bride
with him?" Thus accounting for the ex-
listing condition. Aftera wedding break
fast the happy couple left at once for
New York, Chicago and Washington,
and upon their return home will reside
at the West Superior for the winter.
Miss Smith has grown to womanhood
in our city, was one of the first grad
yates from the Nelson Dewey High
school, and is the eldest daughter of
Mr.. Neil Smith, the pioneer grocery
man of the East End. Mr. Twohy is a
member of the mercantile company
which bears his name and is considered
one of the best business men in our city.

ulatiOns

Public Library Report.

Mrs. Della L. Frccstonc, librarian,
has prepared the report showing the
number and character of the books read
during the month of November: Fic-
ton, 80; history. POS; travel 1873; BIZ
ography, 103; literature and poetry, f35;
art, science and philosophy, l6l; mis-
cellaneous, 30; total, 3,356. Books de-
lvercd at the different stations was rs
follows: A, III; i, So; c, I29; d, 80. The
directors Of the library have for some
time been discussing the question of
closing either the reading room or the
stations i'll the interest of economy, as
it is expected that the funds will all be
used NJ by the first of July. Another
proposition is to close up the entire
library during the summer months, and
as there is the least reading done dur
ING the summer months this may be
found the best way to meet the diff
Guilty. The stations are an expense of
about $40 per year and the closing of
them would result in a much larger saw
ing of expense than would the closing
of the reading room. The room itself is
leased for number of years So that by
the closing of the reading room there
would be no reduction of rent and the
only saving would be in the matter of
light and about 5000 per annum in sub
scriptions to the different magazines.
