completed the statement of the gold
bullion received during the fiscal year
ending ON June 30 For convenience the
books were closed on The 10Th.
As will be seen from the table below
lhe Increase of receipts for 1897 was
phenomenal, amounting TO more than
10 per cent. of the receipts of 1896
which We're the largest in the history
of the institution. The heaviest increase
was during the last quarter of the fiscal
year. at Il time when the unusually
heavy snow and rain falls of April and
May retarded mining operations to
such an extent that it is estimated that
work in the mines is behind not less
than six weeks. Had IT not been for this
fact there is little room for doubling
that the yield for the last quarter
would have been not less than 100000
greater and the total mint receipts for
the year about ST,5OO,OGO
If the figures given by the director
Of the mint and by the Wells-Fargo
Express Company, both of which give
Colorado approximately S1J,Wo,oo0 are
accepted. there is good reason to antici-
pate production In this state during
1891 Of not less than S25.OOO.000. For
the last two quarters of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, and the first two
quarters of the present fiscal year the
receipts of the local mint were S4,24G,-
235.1S, n little less than one-third of the
total production of 1896. according to
the authorities named. Assuming that
the last half Of the present year will he
equal to the half JUST closed, Colorado
will have in mint receipts for 1897 over
$9,0D,ODO, and with all due allowance
for unforeseen accidents, If the ratio
between the mint receipts and total
production in 1896 holds good during
1897, the estimate of S2J0oO,00J il
within the bounds of reason. 1t is well
known to all mining men that the out
put for this year will he heavy in
crease over that of last, and estimates
made 50 far based upon what is known
of the present production of leading
mines and districts range from SO
100000 to S25,OGO,OOO. with the possibili.

Representative Bell of Colorado has
introduced bill in Congress 10 pro-
vide for the location of mining claims
on confirmed land grants. In some of
the Mexican or Spanish grants the
mineral was reserved and belongs to
the government. the grant owner only
having title to the surface. This has
led to considerable confusion MS TO
how prospectors or discoveries may
acquire title. The owner of the grant
may exclude outsiders and prevent
prospecting, but has not himself the
right TO work any mines.
Mr.. Bells bill provides that anyone
authorized to prospect on the public
domain mny do so also within the lin.

powered to locate n mineral claim and
