This is an Increase of Nearly Twenty Per
Cent. Over 1S96-The Gold Product of
the United States for the Last Year Will
Approximate se1, 800 900. for Africa
$5S,OOO,O 900, Australasia S51, 100000.
Washington, Dec. 31.-The director of
the mint says that there Is substantial
evidence that the worlds product Of
gold for the calendar year 1897 will
approximate s24o,ooOO0O. an increase of
nearly 20 per cent. over 1896. The gold
product of the United States for 1896
was $53, 900; for 1897 it will approxi-
mate $61, 100000. The product of Africa
for 1896 was $44,OOO,oO 900; the indicated
product for 1897 is $5s,O0o,0OO.
Australasia's product for 1896 was
$45,0OO,0 for 1897 the indications are
$1,000, 900. Mexico's product for 1896
was IS, 3So, 900; for 1897. $1O,0OO,OO0. Can
ada's product in 1896 was $2,s00000; es-
timated for 1897, $7,50O,O00. India's pro-
duct for 1897 is estimated at $7,500,00O,

sia's gold product for 1896 was $21,55
900: for 1897, SIS, ,0OO,0 900.
The Indications for the United States
are that Colorado will lead in the pro-
duction Of gold for 1897, as it Is estimat-
ed by Ex-Governor Grant that it will
not be less than $20,O00,0O0. California
will follow, with product Of probably
$4,000. 900. With the exception Of the
states of the South Appalachian range,
9 it is believed that there will be an in
crease in every state and territory OF
the gold product over that of 1895.
New York, Dec. 31.-The Engineering
and Mining journal in its number of
January / will report that the value. Of
the total mineral and metal production
Of the United States for the year 1897
amounted to $762, ,061 LOG of which $751;
451,172 was for metals and $500, COS, ,934
for non-metals. These figures show a
total increase Of S1S,290,228 over 1896.
The most prominent item was coal. The
pig iron product was the largest ever
reported. In gold production the Unit
ed States slightly exceeds the Trans
vaal and still holds first place. The sill
ver output was 56, 900 ounces, de-
cline Of about two and one-quarter mil
lion ounces. The quantities of all the
important metals, such as lead and
zinc, show large increases. The United
States has not only been the heaviest
producer Of gold, iron, steel, copper,
lead and zinc, but has also been a large
exporter.
