HOW BULLION ROLLS IN.
The Year Is Breaking the Record at
the San Francisco Mint.

The San Francisco Mint received $780,
900 worth OF gold in November, and as
there were no Australian shipments Of
British coin the whole amount is new
gold, fresh from the veins and gravels OF
the Pacific region from Alaska to Mexico.
Superintendent Leach says that 1899 will
break the record of the receipts of bullion.
though the total receipts may not be as
large as in some years when receipts OF
foreign coin were heavier. 1t shows, how
ever, the rapid increase In gold produc-
tion.
or course the Klondike is largely
thanked for the years receipts. Mr.. Leach
estimates the years output coming from
Dawson at $4,000 900 or a little over. A
little OF this comes from the American
side in that region, having been sold in
Dawson. Nearly all of the Klondike gold
reaches the San Francisco Mint. The
Cape Nome gold which has come down
this season has about all reached the
Mint, too. Its fineness is found to be
higher than the Klondike gold, averaging
about SIT 10 about SIS or SIS 80 for the gold
from the Klondke.

Who Turns Uncle Sans Boun-

Henry Curtin, a veteran of the civil
war living on the Vest side, has n room
in his residence that impresses all his
visitors as a veritable chamber of hor-
rors. This is because its most conspicu-
Gus decoration and ornament is a rov
of human legs suspended on the wall,
and entirely circling the room. Mr.
Curtin always laughs at the fright o.
strangers at the first sight of this room.
and the explains that the legs are only
artificial ones, and there's nothing to
be afraid of. Then he tells them how.
I h legs come to be there.
You see," says Mr.. Curtin, "in Ca :

The r~esounding and effusive court
oratory of the past is not much in fash
ion nowadays. especially in cases which
are not tried by %iurics. and in which the
Judges are SO well convPrsant with the
law that they seek little more than ,.
concrete presentation of the facts. A
story is told of the late Mr.. Justice Mil
Ter, of the United States supreme court,
which illustrates the demand of the
courts nowadays. Mr.. Justice Miller
