TOLEDO, o.. Aug. IA legal battle has begun
in Justice Cooper's court here which promises
TO DO q notable case. The case lie brought by
the Dairy and Food Commission Of Ohio against
a grocer named Peter Munich on the charge of
selling adulterated sugar. The defendant is
really a branch of the Austrian Sugar Trust. In
whose Affairs the Austrian Government is lust
now taking great interest.
The charge is that tho sugars have had ultra.
marine added in the process of refining. Expert
chemists have testified that this is true OF all
Granulated sugars. and that the amount used is
not deleterions.
The blueing matter lie added for tho same rea.
son that II IL used in laundrles, to render The
material a fine blue, while 1t was also shown
that Is used In granulated sugars
only, and that IL cannot be detected except by
chS!nical analysis.
The fact was brought out that the prosecution
OF the sugar dealers was by SPECIFIC Instructions
from the Food Commission. but the prosecution
WAS unwilling TO produce the instructions on
the subject. "
Prof. Weber OF the Ohio state University tsa.
tined for tbs defence und said that ho had
analysed many samples Of graduated sugar
made In this country and that In every case the
blueing matter has been found. In the case Of

based, analysis proved 1t TO be 09.7 pure.

GEOLOGY OF THE GOLD FIELDS.
An Elaborate and Interesting Report Prepared

An Elaborate and Interesting Report Prepared
by the GeoloGtcal Survey.
WARRINGTON, Aug. Tho Acting Secretary
of tho Interior to-day received a complete and
elaborate report on Alaska. including reports on
tho geological formation Of the gold regions of
that country. Tho report was prepared by tho
Geological Survey. and will DO published from
the Government Printing Office. 1t will contain
many hundred pages. and hundreds of maps and
plates. Tho report is a mine of valuable in
formation.
The most interesting Of the various reports IL
the one prepared by ]. 8. Spur on the geology
of tho Yukon gold district. He was assisted In
his explorations by II. b. Goodrich and CT
Schrader. An appropriation WAS made for the
expedition by Congress. and In May, 1896, the
party left for the gold regions, and spent four
months about the KlondiEe. They returned in
October Of the same year. In Mr.. Spurs report
he gives an interesting history OF the early ex-
plorations Of the interior Of Alaska, and es-
pecially OF the first discoveries OF gold. He fol-
lows this with an account of the placer mines.
the rush for them. and the laws which govern
them.
Another interesting report is made by O..
X, Becker. who investigated tho gold fields Of
Southern Alaska He 1evotes q large part Of
his renort to explanations OF tho geological
formations of the quartz.hearing rocks in this
district, and covers the field very thoroughly.
The report will appear in form for public dis

In justification OF the estimate of the increase
in tho countries named. 1t may be said that that
OF the United States Is based upon the deposits
OF domestic gold at the mints and assay offices
for the first six months Of the year, Indicating a
largely increased production as compared with
the first six months Of 1896. and 1t is confidently
believed that the increase will aggregate 81, OOo,-
900.
The gold product OF Africa for 1895 was about
S44. 00O, 900. For the first six months Of tho
calendar year 1897 tho mines of the Rand, as
shown by the official figures. give an increase OF
about $4,000 ounces as compared with the
same period of 1896. There Is no doubt that
the rate OF production In the Rand mine s will be
maintained for tho remainder OF the year, and,
In fact. increased. for their production has been
greater for the last six months of the year than
FOR the preceding six months. Their output of
