The east room was the glory of the
house. Since the last reception it had
been renovated completely, and it was
fairly Respondent in gold and silver and
white. In Its vast proportions the con-
tents of a whole conservatory of plants
and flowers were swallowed up, without
IN any sense crowding the decorations
In the magnificent east windows stood
a gigantic pyramid of green, made up OF
stately palms and rubber plants, towering
up toward the high ceiling, founded in
masses of ferns and grasses, interspersed
with big, blazing red stars of poinsettas.
The three great crystal chandeliers were
the centers of perfect jungles of creepers,
asparagus and smilax, while on the man.
tells were enameled jardinieres filed with
quaint China primroses and itineraries
and other bright-hued flowers.

The GREATEST IN GOLD
MINED MORE LAST YEAR THAN
ANY OTHER NATION.
Forty Million Ounces of New Silver
Put Into Vaults of the
Purchasers.

New York, Jan. 2.-The Engineering and
Mining Journal today contains statistics
of the mineral production of the United
States during 1896. The production of
mines and metals In the United States for
the year 1896 ds given. with a total value of
1858, 81 ,46S, showing a decrease, as COM
pared with 1895, OF s24,6 ,266, or about ga
per cent. This decrease was largely In
values rather in quantities. In none of the
chief articles was there any marked de-
crease, while In several there were consid-
cradle increases. The total production of
metals in 1896 was valued at $242, 81, 4S1, an
increase of $1,694,111 over the previous
year, while the value of non-metallic sub
stance was $410. 999, 9S7, a decrease of $780,,
SS3,3T from 1895. A large part of this was
due to the lower values of coal, STONE and
few other important substances, very lit
tie resulting from the smaller quantities.
The increase of copper has been extraor-
binary, the gain amounting to 67,063, $50
pounds, which was made in spite OF
large decrease in the domestic demands,
but was more than absorbed by the ex-
traordinary exports for the year, which
- the largest on record.
Leaders I'm Gold.
eproduction of the United States
In 1896 reached the total Of $57, 100000, a
gain over 1895 of no less than $10,169.sO'.
This extraordinary advance, which far
surpasses the gain reported from any 9TH
er country in the world. puts the United
States i'm the lead of producing countries.
Our output of gold was no less than 26 per
cent Of the total reported of the entire
world.
The production of lead from domestic
ores In 1896 amounted to 175n7 short tons,
showing an increase of 20, 1868 tons over the
preceding year. In addition to this there
were $1,000 tons produced from imported
ores, or refined bullion.
The quicksilver output for 1896 was 81, O22
TASKS, of 761s pounds each, showing de-
crease of 1855 TASKS from the previous year.
Silver Production.
The production of silver from domestic
ores reached a total of 45,465,175 line
1896 amounting to S65, O62 ounces only. The
silver production has thus been main
tanned better than has been anticipated.
Moreover, there were produced or refined
from foreign ores and bullion by our
smelters no less than A, 000, 900 fine ounces
of silver, making the total quantity re-

this country IS, 465,173 fine ounces. This
large production was almost entirely alb
sorbed by the markets, and the average
price of silver bullion for the year shows
an actual advance, having been 67 cents,
toward the close of the year 1t
fell about per cent below that point.
OF the silver obtained from foreign Jres,
1t Is estimated that 100000 ounces came
from Mexican ores and bullion, and 3,0OO,-
900 ounces from materials brought into
this country from Canada, chiefly from
British Columbia.
