which to extract the gold which is I'M
doubtediy In the water Of the sea. and at
the same time to feather his nest, which
at last accounts. believe. had been
transferred to some distant land; yet sci
ence will show that Mr.. Jernegan. though
none the less a fraud. could present a
very fair argument from the actual facts
and figures In the case.
For example. we scientists fsve c.'m-
puted that the average depth of the ocean
Is loco feet. which: occupying as il does,
two-thiTds Of the surface of the earth,
would give 100. 900. coo cubic miles Of water.
This would be equal in weight to say one
%trillion, eight hundred and fifty billion
tons, and as each ton of sea water Is said
10 contain five sixty-ffths of
a grain of gold. the entire
ocean would contain ten billion
two hundred and fifty million tons of
practically pure gold. Now. gold, general
~ speaking, is worth 5000 o a ton, and IL
Is therefore easy TO figure hat ten billion
two hundred and fifty million tons of gold,
at 100000 a ton, would give a total value
Of gold in the entire ocean of five quad
rillion -four hundred and twenty-five tril-
lion of dollars. an amount of money be-
yons all human comprehension, as IL is
far in excess of all the money of all eX-
chequers of all the nations since the be-
ginning of the world. In comparison with
this tremendous amount the estimated
production of gold from 1892 to 1898 OF
$500 tons, valued at s., $50. 600. 600, is but a
nickel i'm the slot.
Hence, when the Rev. Mr.. Jernegan
showed by the figures, and figures do not
lie, that there was enough gold in the wa
ter of the ocean to pay each one of the
one billion three hundred million people
ON earth the sum of S416, 900. 1t was a pow
erful inducsment for some of those need
ing about that much just at this time to
put "A few dollars into his scheme i'm or
der to secure their share right away.

County for Herself and Her
Children-Complaints

Mrs. Benjamin Cox, living at 1923
North Wyoming street, believes that her
husband has been murdered or has met
with a fatal accident. she called on
County Auditor Davies yesterday for
help for herself and five children and
said she was driven to seek aid from
the county because Of the disappearance
Of her husband and his failure to con-
tribute anything toward the support Of
the family. Cox is a miner n last year
he worked in British Columbia and reg
ularly sent money to his wife. He came
back to Butte to visit his family in
September Of last year and in March ne
left home to return to British Columbia.
He bad his wife and children goodbye
and promised to be back home again
this September. That was the last his
wife ever saw him and has never heard
a word from him. His silence has been
so unlike him that Mrs. Cox feels con-
WINGED that he Is dead, and that he was
murdered. She thinks that if anything
like an accident or fatal sickness had
overtaken him she would have been no
tilted of it,.

house "A few days ago and stole a pair
of shoes from one boarder and went

missing. a warrant was issued for the

COINAGE OF A YEAR.
Annual Report of Director of the Mint
RObertS-Russia,s Gold Hoard

Annual Report of Director of the Mint
ROberts-Russia's Gold Hoard.
WASHINGTON, Nov 2i-In his annual
report Mr.. George e. Roberts, the director
of the mint, says: "The most important
events of the fiscal year in the world of
government finance have been the consum-
nation of the long-planned resumption of
specie payments by Russia in gold, the re-
organization of the monetary system of
Japan with gold as the standard. and the
refusal of the government of India to CO
operate with the governments of the United
States and France in an effort to establish
bimetallism by international agreement.
THE gold coinage of the world in 1897 was
the largest recorded. amounting in value to
$437 719 342 against 1885, 500 SIT in 1896. OF the
former sum $146.622, 1874 was recoinage. and
approximately 1921 ,097, 1lS, net addition to
the stock of gold coins. The principal coin
age was by the United States. Great Brit
ain, Russia. Germany Austria Hungary,
France and Japan. The extraordinary coin
age of the year is accounted for by the
preparations of Russia, Austria Hungary
and Japan for their monetary reforms In
the case of Russia, particularly, gold which
has been accumulating for years. much of
it i'm bars. was passed through the mints to
prepare IL IOG CIRCULATION. Inc completion
of Russia's plans OF monetary reform and
the opening to the uses of commerce of her
great gold reserve, systematically gathered
year by year until it is the greatest single
hoard of treasure the world ever saw. is in
itself a most notable event. The develop
ment of Russia, her position as an exporter
of breadstuffs, her policy of developing
home manufactures, will all tend to protect
her stock of gold and make use for more,
but her own gold production is increasing.
and unless she is about to enter period of
unprecedented activity and development,
seems likely to supply her needs.
Throughout the world among all peoples
who are sufficiently civilized and ambitious
TO have international intercourse, there is
manifest a desire to bring their own cur
rencies into definite and stable relations
with the money Of the peoples with whom
they trade The exporter desires that the
money with which he buys at home and
the money for which he sells abroad shall
have a common unit of value The manu-
facturer who is competing in foreign mar

FINAL ANSWER To-MoRROw.
spaniard~ Preparing to Announce

Spanfards Preparing to Announce
Acceptance of Americas Terms.
PARIS, Nov. 24.-The Spanish commission
ers at noon to-day had not fixed on the day
to submit their final answer to the Amer
lean propositions, but it is deemed most
likely that Saturday will be the day appoint
ed. The opinion gains good ground that the
Spanish will accept the proposals of the
United States. A significant indication of
this view of the situation was a remark
dropped by Senior Abarzuza, of the Spanish
commission, to-day, that they expected to
remain here about a fortnight longer. The
secretary of the Spanish commission. Senior
Ojeda. said to-day that the instructions
from Madrid were not sufficiently matured
to enable them tC appoint the next meet
ing.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
eslxed Senor Abarzuza to-day if the COM
missions would be able to leave Paris next
week with the treaty and he replied, with
sidelong glance, as though to observe
whether his questioner noted the signifi-
cance of the reply: II suppose we shall be
here for another fortnight
why" the Spanish commissioner was
asked, sis the opinion expressed so emphati-
caly by portion of the Paris press that
you will decline the $2OOO00O0, but will sign
the treaty with a protest that you do so
only under the pressure of superior power?'
well. it does seem THAI $20,OOO.OOO is not
very satisfactory"
This was the semi-evasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat answered the
question. His questioner continued: 'aThen
it has been affirmed that Spain will refuse
TO sign the treaty. decline the money offered
I<a a facf to he nd l, =
her commissioners will go home. Is that
the most likely result?'
'Ah, but we should not anticipate; we
should know day by day what happens day
by day
And so you anticipate a fortnight more
of daily developments here?''
'Ah. yes, a fortnight. Perhaps some af-
fairs may be attended to in that time"
Thanksgiving day is cold, wet and dreary.
The United States peace commissioners were
the guests Of Whitelaw Reid at a thanks
giving day luncheon at the hotel.
The Petit Bleu reafiirms to-day to GER
tainty that the Spanish commissioners will
refuse the offer of S20,OO0,0O0 for a treaty
cession of the Philippines.
The Temps says: ''If Spain should with
draw from the peace negotiations the war
would not be resumed but the protocol
would come into force again. The Spanish
army would evacuate Cuba and Porto Rico.
while the Philippines would remain in Dew
ey's occupation but not in Americas pos
session. The only result would be that
diplomatic relations would not be renewed.
Such "a course is preferable to a renewal of
hostilities. but one would rather wish TO see
a movement of reason and conscience in the
United States, and NOT an abuse of the
rights of conqueror, or at least, an avoid
ing of a recourse to force which the civil
lied world would neither understand nor
approve"
