The report of B. H. Tatem, assayer
in charge of the assay office in Helena.
to the director of the mint, for the year

Montana that year was 500, 397, 619. OF.
Ofthat amount "a, SO2, H. 39wasin gold,
S1S, 334, 442.26 in silver, SO, Isl, S37. "a in
copper, and $498, 622.02 in lead. AS
compared with the production of 1900
the decrease is about $4,000, 900, due
to the 1essened production of copper.
The report shows that since the dis
covery of gold in Montana, 40 years
ago, more than one billion dollars has
been taken from the streams and noun
tains of the state. Little change in
the value of the gold produced as COM
pared with the previous year is shown,
and attention is called to the enlarged
use of the cyaniding process during the
year. There was also little change in
the value of the silver produced.

Many persons who have been amaz-
ed during the past few days at the
holdings of stock certificates that rep
resent millions of dollars by some of
the magnates of Wall street have
more than once wondered where on
earth the stacks of certificates are
slowed away over night. Some Of the
certificates are passed day after day
in their business deals from owners
to owners who have not strong under

safe are already deposited more Sc

Some surprising ocean depths

These seem to confirm the theory
held by photographers that the Allan
tic in the vicinity Of Porto Rico and
Bermuda is of the greatest known
depressed area, except that in some
few places in the Pacific. Reports re-
ceiyed at the navy department in
Washington from the Dolphin state
that the record of 4.561 fathoms OBJ
tanned by the Blake in 1882 has been
surpassed by one made about seventy
miles westward of the position of the
greatest previously discovered depth
in the North Atlantic. The Dolphin
found bottom after 1862 fathoms (over
five miles) of wire had been run out.
This is said to be the deepest spot SO
far found in the entire Atlantic.
AS compared with depths ascertain
ed in other parts of the world, these
soundings indicate that the next deep
est places found in the Atlantic are in
the Caribbean Sea south of the Great
Cayman. where the oceans bottom wa,
touched at 3.2S4 fathoms.
The deepest known spot in the
South Atlantic ocean is place of
