THE NATIONS GREAT WEALTH.

We referred yesterday to the wonderful
productive capacity of this country, to
the products Of the soil as well as the
products Of the mill. We might have said
also that the mineral products Of tho
country were never so great as they are
to-day.
According 10 the Engineering and Min
ing Journal the mineral production Of the
United States during the last calendar
year amounted in value to SAC 2509S2 as
AGAINST s737. g5s.76l in 1896. This is the
largest annual mineral output recorded
either I'm the United States or any other
country. Indeed the statstician tells US
that this amount IS considerably in excess
Of the entire mineral and metal produc-
ton of continental Europe.
The largest item is bituminous coal,
valued at Sl2oOOOOoO; then iron, valued at
$92OOOOOO: anthracite coal valued at Ss5,-
100000; gold. valued at 100000 copper,
valued at $4,000 900; and silver, at the
commercial value of s33,OoOOoO.
There is good reason to believe unless
the war shall seriously interfere that the
output will be greater this year than dur
ing the year last past.
