and others came in after the official

Pension Legislation.

New York, May 9.-From 100000 to
100000 year is the amount Commits
sioner of Pensions Evans roughly esti-
mates will be added to the pension eX-
penditures of the government by the ac-
ton of the house of representatives today
in passing the bill, which has already
passed the senate, amending the depend
ent pension law of 1890.
The measure, known as the Grand Army
bill, makes two important changes in the
present law, designed to meet objections
which pension attorneys, backed by the
Grand Army, have raised to the rulings
of Pension Commissioner Evans. Failing
IN their efforts to have the commissioner
grant pensions in excess of what he and
the reviewing officers of the interior de-
partment believed the law showed, they
turned their attention to congress, and
the pension commissioners of the Grand
Army drafted the bill which has now
passed both houses substantially as it
left their hands.

Hut Little Resistance.
London May l0.-Although the British
expected considerable opposition at the
difficult drift Of Zand river, the latest
adyices from Smaldeel, Orange Free
State, indicate that the federals are not
vet ready to make a determined attack
to stem Lord Roberts advance.
The latters front indeed is 50 wide
and so overwhelming in numbers that it
is difficult to see how the Beers can help
being ousted out of Virginia Siding as
they were out of Smalldeel, even if they
elect to give battle. The same CON
sidelations would probably affect the
situation at Kroonstad. Hence the be-
lief that little real opposition will be en-
countered south of the Naal.
Repairs to bridges over the Vet river
and Vaal are expected to retard the gen
eral march from Smalldeel and Fourteen
Streams for three or four days when
General Butler will also be ready to
move.
The general idea is that General Rob

Mining Industry Open to All.

Mining Is the most profitable business
open to men Of money and brains. So
long as prospectors by the hundreds are
In the field constantly making new dis.
coveries; so long as a steady increasing
force Of miners are constantly developing
mines from prospects and increasing the
output OF the mines already developed; so
long as the best brains OF the country are
busy In developing new APPLIANCES hy
which II is made possible to treat lower
grade ores at profit. Just so long the
mining business will continue to grow In
public favor. Mining is no longer consid.
cred u gamble by well informed people.
Il has come to be acknowledged as a le.
gitimate and reasonably certain road to
wealth. The field Is open to all and when
intelligence and capital are united, it is a
field full Of golden promise. - Mining

Below that the ore becomes more refrac.

WORLDS GOLD
PRODUCT.
Interesting Facts Regarding
the Yellow God.

Until 1903 the United States had been
the largest producer Of gold In the world
but in that year II was surpassed both by
Africa and Australia.
The bearing that the South African gold
production will have on international af.
fairs Is one Of the questions Of the near
future. The industry has developed In
that region with marvellous rapidity. Pro.
duction began In 1887. IN the twelve
years that have elapsed the total output
has amounted to S32s 900 900. Practically
the entire yield is from quartz. The fact
that the dark continent has become SO
suddenly such an enormous producer Of
the metal, without passing through the
usual preliminary stage Of placer and
stream mining, indicates Enthusiastically
that II is going to remain a steady and
large one.
In the year 1872 the production was
1919 tons Of gold and 1909 tons Of silver;
and between the years 1900 and 1870 the
coinage ratio and the commodity valua.
ton was as one Of gold to 1870 to 1851
OF silver.
~ the year 1909 the production was $40
tons Of gold and $500 tons Of silver; and
the decentralization Of silver among the
nations having taken place US7I.73, the
commodity ratio began to change In 1874,
and at the close OF 1890 stood at 3s.2.
The legal value Of gold Is &2o.67 per
ounce. At this rate q troy ton Of the
metal Is worth Sa06, 6,ia,.2o, and an avoir.
dupois ton Is worth S6o2, ,02i.93.
The director Of the United States mint
estimates that IS. 600 900 worth Of gold Is
annually used IN this country In dentistry
and 81 ,ooo, 900 worth IN sign painting.
For the last ten years the manufacture
Of gold bars and coins by the various ma.
consumed on an average about 37s avoir.
