Tho South African Republic Leads
in the Production Of Gold for
the Calendar Year 1897, With
ond, Australasia Taking Third
Rank.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-The Direc-
tor of the Mint in his report upon the
production of the precious metals dur
ing the calendar year 1897, just sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, deals not only with the produc-
ton Of gold and silver in the United
States, but in foreign countries as well,
and draws a comparison between the
production of leading producing coun-
tries of the world The sources from
which information has BEEN derived are
the most authentic and reliable and the
possible to obtain.
The value Of gold products in the
United States during the calendar year
1897 was $57, ,363.0OO The South At
rican Republic holds first place, produce
ing gold to the value of S57, ,633, ,S61 !;
Australasia, $55.6S4, ,1S2. and Russia
23,245, 763.
There was a notable increase in the
production of the gold in the world dur
ing 1897 over 1896. The United States
increase was $4,375,00O. The South
African Republic made the remarkable
gain Of $13,S54, 1872, Australasia in
creased $1O5O3,24 and Russia ST.
7O9. 100.
The United States produced during
the year 81, 3,S60000 fine ounces of silver
and Mexico 3d. 5O2, $50 fine ounces, a de-
crease for the United States Of 4974,- =
800 fine ounces, and an increase for

100000 fine ounces, value $69,673, 172.
While many Of the most productive
silver mines Of the past are closed
down, the increase in the production
from lead and copper ores has offset
this loss.
The worlds production of silver is
shown to be largely in excess of any
previous year. that of 1895, when the
production was 167 5OO,960 ounces be-
ing the largest.
The total value of gold deposited at
the mints and assay offices during the
year was $751;, ,924 ,232, consisting of
$67 ,923, $50 domestic and $4,000, ,591
foreign.
The value of silver deposited at the
same institutions for returns in fine
bars, which were used in the industrial
arts or exported, was $12, 7C7,1iS, OF
which amount $11 ,S47 $50 was domestic
and 1888, ,59S foreign.

the year was: Gold, SIC, OBS, ,4S5; Sill

WORD FROM DEWEY.
Says Nothing About Political Sit
uation in Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA telegram
was received by the Eecretary of the
Navy to-day from Admiral Dewey at
Manila, saying that the collier Nero
arrived at Taku on the 18th with her
coal on fire, and suggesting that as
he had no further use for the vessel,
she be sent home.
Dewey said nothing about the polit-
ical situation in the Philippines or the
capture of any more ships belonging
either to the Spaniards or the insur-
gents, or at least if he did the officials
of the department will not admit it.

DECIDED IN FAVOR OF GAGE.
His Action Relative to Issuance of
Bonds Sustained.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Judge Cox,
in the District Supreme Court, to-day
decided the cases of George B. Wight
man and of William H. Wharton
against Secretary Gage in favor Of The
Secretary of the Treasury.
One suit sought an injunction and the
other a mandamus, the basis of com
plant in each being the rejection by
the Secretary of bids for the war bold
issue by the complainants. Secretary
Gage rejected the bids, believing the
bidders really represented certain in
stitutions.
Judge Cox to-day held that under the
Act of Congress the Secretary had DIS
cretion in the award of the bonds. and
that the intention Of Congress was
that they should go to individuals, to
the exclusion of banks and corpora
tions.
