tory OF the Country-Ths Kloadike's
Contribution.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-The larg-
est stick of gold coin and bullion
ever held in the United States is
now accumulated I'm the Treasury
aud Its branches. The total has BEN
rising steadily during the whule of
Tie pre'+ mt year, and tine amount is
now si74, I08. 1886, or abuut 76,O"O.-
900 greater than at the cI.se OF ss9.
The incrrsse up to June 3o was
about $23.O0O,000, but since that
time has be-n about $1,000, 900 for
July, s6.00e,0O0 for August, siO,-
100000 for September, $I8 600, 900
Tor October, aud $i7,OOU,OOO thus
Tar In November The gold is not
all the direct property of the United
States, but IL held against outstand-
ing gold certificates. The amouns
of these, less the amount in the
Treasury and its branches, was
$239. .755,s09 Wednesday. All the
remaining gold, amounting to about
s243, ,000, 900, belongs to the Treas
ury as a iart Of the reserve fund of
$3.50, 100000 or the free fund OF
1913, ,OO0,O00 in the general cash.
The influx of gold into the Treas
ury comes partly from the new gold
from the Klundike and other mines,
hut its retention is due to the prey
sure for currency, which leads to the
acceptance of gold certificates and
other paper money In preference t.
coin. The Treasury has recently
been shipping small notes In large
quantities to New Orleans and other
points upon deposits Of gold In the
New York sub-Treasury ny the New
York reserve agents of the Southern
banks.
The gold supply of the country
on the last day of 1896 was estima-
ted at S692,947,2l2. The estimated
amount November !, 1900, was
81 ,O8,O27, ,4O7, and it is probable
tnat tine report for December 1, will
show at least 81, 100, 100000.

Wood Factories in North Caro-.
lima.
Charleston News and COurier.l

Charleston News and Courier
North Carolina appears to t'e lead
ing all the other Southern States in
the important industry of manu-
featuring its forest resources into
more valuable products than planks
and scantlings.
Besides its 500 saw mills and 85
-hingle mills, says The Dixie Maga-
zine, which gets it's information
from The American Lumlertnan,
there are in the State 1872 blaming
mills and sash, door and blind tac-
tories, 63 factories making furni-
ture, chairs, show cases, etc; 36 max
ing wagons, carriages, agrl' uitural
implements, etc, and 25 making
boxes, crates, venet'rs, etc, a total of
800 establishments engaged in wood
working which employ more or less
s+killed" labor.
Or particular interest, says the
magazine, is the number Of concerns
manufacturing "hardwoods" into
furniture, wagons, agricultural im-
plements and so on. This branch OF
industry was until recently lracti-
cally monopOlized by the North.
Now there are ''sInall towns in
North Carolina, each with five or
six such establishments" and from
the fact that they have SD greatly
increased in number in the last few
years, sit would seem that they
have proved profitable."
There are comparatively very few
such concerns in 5 nth Carolina. and
there are many Counties in the Stale
We believe, which are we'll supplied
with valuable ''hardwood," in large
quantity and variety, but which dt
not turn a wheel for their manufac
ture into any form. II is a promis
ing field for enterprising wood
workers from other States, as tn.
experience of North Carolina suff
GENTLY shows.

capacity of 10000 bu>hels. The
Moore Milling Company is building
a flour and meal mill with caIaci-
~ Of 100 barrels daily, and an eleva-
tor capacity of $4,000 bushels. A
cotton mill is being built with an
equipment of 1868 spin,lies and
200 looms making yarn and cloth

Gold i'm Helena's Streets.

A Helena, Montana, dispatch says:
Gold was ,und Oh Main street this
afternoon in considerable quantities
below the surface Of the street.
George Booker, q well-knOwn char
acter, .'panned" several buckrts of
earth taken from an opening in the
street in the presence Of several
hundred people. Several dollars Of
the yellow M tai was secured.
The city of Helena is located on
"Last Chance gulch," at one time
the richest placer property in the
world. OId-time mining men say
there still remains under the city
more gold than was ever taken out.
When the Montana club building
was built the contractors paid the
cost Of the building from the gold
secured in the excavation. Several
people living up the gulch have
gold mines in their cellars.

Great Britain has spent $500, ,0O0,-
900 in trying to destroy liberty in
South Africa. The United states
has spent $500, 900, 900 in trying to
destroy liberty in the Philippines.
Here'is $500, 100000 spent for the
acquisition Ut land and gold. The
great middle class furnish the mon
ey TO carry on the wars, but do not
yet one foot Of the land nor one dol
lar Of the gold.
The men for whose benefit these
cruel wars are waged say the gov
ernment Is too poor to own the rail-
roads, yet the SS0O,V00,OOO worse
than wasted in foreign war would
have paid one-fourth Of the cost of
every railroad in the United States.
What fools We lnortals be.
