The Gold Oufpuf.

From advance sheets furnished by
The Engineering and Mining Journal
it appears that the United States was
the greatest OF gold and silver pro-
ducers during the year 1900. In gold
production Australasia dropped from
first to second place and the Trans
vaal, which beat this country's output
in 1899, fell far to the rear, owing to
the stoppage Of mining operations by
the war. The following table indicates
the relative position Of the countries
named except the Transvaal, whose
record last year puts 1t below some

The Population of HerndOn.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Census Bulletin No. 81, purporting to give
the population of Virginia by counties and
minor civil divisions, is so egregously in
correct as to the population of Herndon
that the attention of the public should be
called to it. Fairfax county is given gain
during the last decade of 1915. The county
has six magisteriai districts. Dranesvlle,
In which Herndon is located, is given an in
crease of SIT, Falls Church district gains
67s. Mount Vernon 300. Centerville 49, Lee
r. Providence, decrease. II. Now, it will
be seen that the gain in Dranesville district
is very close to 40 per cent of the total gain
in Fairfax county. Where, then, is the
principal gain in Dranesville district? There
is no particular locality aside from Hern-
don that has made an increase of any con-
siderable number, and yet the census bule-
number of pupils enrolled in our public
schools is 231, a fraction over one-third
given in the bulletin as the total population
of Herndon. Then it would seem that the
business of the post office would indicate
the upward or downward trend. During
the last three months of 1900 the business
of the office was 90 per cent over that of
the last three months of 1890 Now, taking
these several points together, it would seem
that Herndon has been Wronged. that in
stead of q decrease of 103 there has in all
probability been an increase of over double
that number. We have been called the
smartest town on the W. and o. branch of
the Southern railroad, and we were begin
ming to believe 1t. Think then, of our sur
in bulletin 81 placed more than 100 less than
it was ten years agoi Is there no way to
rectify such wretched blunders as this?
