BIG FIGURES AT THE MINT.
The Receipts of Gold Are Now Going
 Up by Leaps and Bounds.

From present appearances it is ex- tremely probable that the receipts of gold at the Denver mint for 1897 will reach $12,000,000. Several months ago it was predicted that the annual rec ord for 1897 would reach $11, ,OOO. .O0O but the receipts of the past two months nave been so large that it nuH reaches within $SO,OOO of thai figure. and if the receipts during December are maintained the average will be brought up to $1,OOO,OG0 per month. December is usually a dull month. owing to the closing down of a greater or less number of mines for the win ter months. The number that will run all winter is much larger than hereto lore, and as nearly all the Cripple Creek shippers will continue opera tons during the winter, the mint of hclals do not anticipate serious fall ing off during the coming month.
 The officers of the mint have kept very close watch of the Cripple Creek production, and say that it runs very evenly with the mint receipts. and there is no doubt that it will reach S2,0OO and possibly more, and that the rest of the state will not fall short of $S,OOO,OOO, making the total produc- ton of Colorado for the year $2O, ,OOO,- OoO.-Denver Republican.
