the past IL months we have imported
about 100000, 900. The discovery of a
few bonanzas will give us the ''balance
of trade especially if the production
of our mines increases at the present
rate.
These figures appear large and the re-
port of mines producing millions in
gold and silver may sound fabulous,
but the yield is small compared with
that of the Transvaal. That district
produces $5,250,O00 a month. Mr.. j. c.
Butterfeld, mining engineer who has
visited all OF the mining districts of the
world, and who represents an English
syndicate, stated to me that these mines
were practically inGXhaustible. His in
yestigations led him TO believe that the
mines could produce even more than
the present amount for at least 80 yearr.
They are not now worked to the great
est capacity, as newer and more eco

Colorado is now the largest gold pro-
ducing state in the United States. Close
estimates place last years yield at
about $7,000,000 more than that of Cal
ifornia. The indications are that the
yield this year will be much larger,
and that California must take its
rank as second place in the gold
producing states. The production
of Colorado last year was $23, 3,500,0O0 in
gold and $50 200, 600 of silver, while Cal
ifornia produced 10000 900 in gold and
about $1,000 900 in silver In addition
Colorado produced lead to the value of
$4,5O0,O0O and about 100000 worth of
copper. This places the total mineral
product of Colorado for 1895 at $50
100000. New copper districts are be-
ing developed, and these with the great
er activity in developing the new gold
and silver mines, will increase the total
yield of the present year at least 25
per cent. If there should be another
great strike, such as Creede or Cripple
Greek, the yield of last year may be
even doubled. There is perhaps moth

The men were negroes. All were
hanged together ON one scatfold in

anything on the scaifold. They all,
however. made confessions to the
sheriff before they were taken to the
gallows.
Gardner chokcd to death As the
drop fell. the rope caught the black
cap and jerl;ed it from his head. The
knot slipped forward about three
inches. and. as the rope frightened,
Gardeners distorted face was whirled
toward the witnesses, who turned
away sick. The death struggle was
terrible. Breath come in terrible
oasps, the knees drew up with con-

was commuted to life imprisonment by

The crimes for which Gardner,
James and Myers were hanged were

after the strike. The lucky prospector
becomes a millionaire in day, and he
cannot estimate within several millions
the extent of his fortune. The Cripple
Creek mines yield nearly $1,000,00O a
month and experts who have sunk dia-
mond drills as far as it is possible to
drive machinery are of the opinion that
these mines will yield, at the present
output, for at least a quarter of CEN
tury. What the owners will do with
this vast amount Of riches is also prob
lematical. The production of the pre-
cious metals at this rate may also have
a deprcciating effect upon the money
