UNCLE SAM RICH in GOLD
HIS STRONG BOXES ARE FILLED
WITH THE PRECIOUS METAL.
Total or s59s,OOO,OOO in store, More
Than Any Other Nation, Except Rus
STA Has Ever Possessed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The sum of gold
now in the United States treasury exceeds
that of any previous time in the history of
the country and. with one possible excep-
ton. ii exceeds that of any country at any
time in the history of the world. The
single reported exception is that of
Russia about eight years ago, when
that country was preparing to resume gold
payments. At that time Russia is said to
have had in its treasury s59S,O00O00 in gold.
Last Saturday the vaults of the United
States treasury contained s57S, 1856. 1874, an in
crease since July l.. 1901. of S190S,S97 This
stock of gold is now being added to at
the rate of from 100000 TO 100000 day,
with no immediate prospect of a cessation
IN the rate of deposits. This condition of
things is eminently satisfactory to the
treasury officials, who regard 1t as the best
possible evidence of prosperity and of con-
fidence in the financial stability of this
country.
The gold now coming in is being replaced
by gold certificates, United States notes and
silver certificates, the former being sup
piled where the denominations wanted are
$50 and over, the United States notes for
tens and silver certificates for fives, twos
and ones.

land he frequently made use of a caravan,
part of which was an elaborate dining car
