INCREASE IN GOLD OUTPUT.
Report OF Mint Superintendent
shows Large Gains.


SAN FRANCISCO. April H.--The super
intendent Of the United States mint at
San Francisco has forwarded to the dircc-
tor OF the mint at Washington report
showing that the gold and silver product
Of California, for the calendar year 1899.
amounted to $15.S40.043 Of which SIS 1886 J31
was gold and $5O4,012 silver.
Comparing the totals of gold and silver
with the corresponding figures obtained
from the same sources In the year 1898.
the gold yield Of the state shows a de-
crease of S570.4H and the silver yield an
increase of $50 957; making a net decrease
from the previous year of AS0. 400. This Is
attributed to tho fact that, owing to tie
dry season. many mines were shut down.
The returns to the mint show the employ
ment OF S.7N miners in the gold. silver,
lead and copper mines Of the state.
Alaska has more than doubled Its bull
lion product In the last year. The receipts
OF Alaska gold at mints, assay offices. re-
tineriee. smelters etc. for the calendar
year 1899. were $500, 012 and the silver.
500 343 total of IS s3l a55 or S, 1873, s44 more
than In the year 1898 OF this increase IL
Is estimated that 81. 10000 come from the
new placer camp at Cape Nome last sea-
son. the first year In its history and the
rest of the increase from the quartz mines
of Southeastern Alaska.
The receipts at minis. assay Offices pri-
vate reineries and smelters for the cal
epdar year 1899. from the Klondike, were
SIS $50. 625 gold and 1857 800 silver, a total of
SIG, 2H .l07 This shows a marked advance
in output for the Klondike field, since the
increase over the previous year Is e .02S. l9s.

ing for their extra expenses out OF the

subject.
The latter held that there was no legal
objection to suth procedure, and his opin-
ION was approved by the then secretary
of war. Secretary Root said that allow
ances for extra expenses were
made at that time and have
since been continued TO four ofIit ere.
namely. the military governor OF the Ia
land, the military governor of the city Of
Havana, the collector OF the port of Iia-
vana. and the treasurer of the island.
