desperate effort, and with wondrous
strength cast the mnllah from him, and
with savage kick knocked him down and
against the wall of rock on the far side
OF the mountain pathway. Before the
priest could recover himself Goodwin was
on his feet again, and had rushed to his
rifle and picked it UP. By the time the
mullah was in an upright position the
muzzle was again pointed at his breast.

This familiar little missive she slipped

There have been instances, however
when the change of envelopes is inten-

to get together the people she wishes at
her dinners said once she secured two
difficult and desirable people by sending
to each the invitation intended for the
other. She knew they were mutually con-
genial. Another strategist affirmed that
she made the match between two of her
friends by changing the unseaIed envel-
opes which she found on her mothers
writing table inviting both TO the same
function. She suspected an attachment,
but the man was shy and the maiden was
coy.

LARGEST DEPOSITS.

The largest number of deposits for one
month in the history of the mint was in
August, 1899. They reached 1853, aggre-
eating nearly 100000 ounces, value about
S12, coo. For the three years prior to
that time deposits averaged from 500 to
700 a month, which was considered very
good business. The heaviest deposits for
one day in that month aggregated four
tons of gold. A large consignment of
English sovereigns arrived that day from
Australia, and were sent to the mint to
be recoined; a large lot of dust and mug
gets were landed from the Klondike, while
some gold came from Pacific coast mines
and Mexico.
This was only exceeded once, as far as
the records show, and that was one day
in October, 1887. The deposits for the
month were $685. and the coinage $1,000, 600
But six tons of gold came in one day.
valued at about $3,000,00O rating a ton at
,0C0, which is the accepted valuation.
This deposit consisted largely of British
sovereigns from Australia, though there
was considerable Klondike gold received
that day.
For the first two months of the cur
rent year the coinage was 1922, 63S, as
against the corresponding two months Of
the last fiscal year, $10697, 1884. Nearly all
the gold from the Klondike and Cape
Nome has found it's way of late to San
Francisco. Last year the gold was sent
from Seattle to Philadelphia for coinage.
Now that the bulk of the gold product
of the North comes to San Francisco the
best record of the output IS obtainaD!e
here. On Sept 1 of this year $9,4t1 49S was
deposited from that section Since that
date about $f,50O0O0 more has been re-
ceived at the San Francisco mint, making
practically 81 900. 600 from the Klondike
this season thus far Judging from the
receipts Of last year 1t is safe to estimate
the total output for the year at $4,000 600.
If this be realized 1t will exceed the out
put Of last year by S3,000,0O0,

Ordinarily people speak Of gold bullion
when quantities are mentioned as so

where the receipts of gold bullion at the
United States branch mint are referred to
as SO many tons for certain days 1t
sounds like an enormous boast, bordering
On the fabulous, yet it is true The min:

One day in August last four tons of the

receipts for one day were six tons That

The coinage Of the last fiscal year, end
ed June 80, 1899, according to the report
just completed, was the largest in the his
tory of this mint 1t consisted of 1883
S75 pieces, valued at $50, S62, 275. That coin
age has been exceeded only in amount in
the coinage history of the government on
two occasions. AT the mint in Philadel-
phia, in the year 1861, some $40, 0G0 600 was
coined, and again in the same place in
1881, something over $76,0OO,G00 was coined.

The largest amount heretofore coined in
the San Francisco mint during any cal

year the coinage is expected to at least
approximate that of 1885, Prior to 1887,
and for the fifteen years preceding, the
coinage of the San Francisco mint aver
aged about $25, 600, 900 year. In that year
the amount took sudden leap and went
