More Gold Mines.

The excitement and interest caused
by the recent finds of gold in the
Klondike region are still further slim
ulated by report coming from Lon
don TO the effect that the Peninsula
OF Kamchatka, directly across from
Alaska, on the Asiatic side. is likely
to prove as rich in the precious metal
as our own fields. These statements
create good deal OF interest
especially among those who are fol-
lowing closely the enormous gold de-
velopments OF the world which have
recently occurred An examination
OF the map Of North America will
show at a glance that the great gold
field of Alaska which is now being de
veloped is part of the general line of
mountains which supplied the enorm-
Gus gold production of California, in
stead OF the same general line which
produced the gold of Peru. of Central
America, Of the United States and
now of Alaska. Take vour map Of
the world and follow this mountain
range and you will find that it seems
to cross from the North American
continent to Asia at the Bebring
Straits, and that the extension of this
general range across into Asia covers
the very country into which the Rus
sian government is now pressing gold
developments and the general search
for gold, The dispatch referred to
above states that Russian expedition
has discovered twelve gold regions in
the vicinity Of the Okhotsk, and il Sc
lieves that the western peninsula Of
Kamchatka win develop gold fields
which will, as the dispatch puts it,
when opened, .be q second Califor-

Fifty years ago only 50 per cent. Of
the gold OF the world was coined; now
Go per cent. is eoiLed' 50 il appears
that while the amount Of gold for
each individual in the world has been
doubled in fifty years, the proportion
of that gold which has been turned IN
to coin has also been doubled, thus
making the gold money of the world
four times as much for each individ
ual as it was fifty years ago. This in
crease in gold, coupled with the in
crease in the percentage of that metal
which is coined, is one Of the most
important facts to be taken into con
sideration in the determination Of the
cause Of the falling of Of the demand
for silver ard the consequent falling
