the close OF business hours for the nine
teenth century and the year 1900 yester-
day afternoon Assayer Fred A. Wing Of
the United states assay office at Seattle
said that IN the past twelve months
his receipts az the office have been
forty-six and one-eighth tons Of gold
and silver.
The total quantity Of gold Tor the
year was 1895, 1884 troy ounces, with
an assayed value OF 81. O3s, 1872, and 1t
represented the individual deposits OF
7.l0G persons.
over Si6,9O0.0 900 came from the Klon-
dixie and the remainder from other
parts OF Alaska, British Columbia,
Washington and other States
The highest mark was reached In
July last, when over fourteen tons OF
the yellow metal was deposited In the
assay office in twenty-six working days.
Nomes output was 81 7232i2A, which
IS considered good taking into account
the lack OF water there and the almost
endless litigation.
