GOLD AND SILVER
ESTIMATE OF PRODUCTION IN
THE UNITED STATES.
Director Of the Mint Roberts Shows
the Increase During the Last
Fiscal Year.

George E. Roberts, director of the mint
has issued his final estimate of the produc-
ton of gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1901. Mr.. Rob-
erts' statement shows that during the year
the United States produced 3,SOo, 500 ounces
of gold, valued at $7S,666, 200, a decrease Of
S5o4, 300, or 0.636 per cent, as compared with
the yield of 1900.
Ten of the nineteen states and territories
yielding gold showed an increased produc-
tion, California leading with S1.U75,20o, an
increase due entirely to the normal develop
ment of the mining industry. Nevada show
ed the material gain of s957 600 which came
largely from the ewly-discovered camp of
Tonapah. in Nye county, although nearly
every county In the state increased Its pro-
ductlon. South Dakota also made a gain of
S30l 500; Idaho, $144, 600, and Oregon S123,-
400.
The greatest decrease-amounting to ST.
2S5,300-was in Alaska. This was due to the
lateness of the seas son, which delayed the
opening of the placers, and to litigation
which interfered with the development of
the industry. Colorados production dimin-
lshed ~, $500, fact explained by the de-
cline in the grade of ores extracted the
tonnage having increased.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted to
ooSl4,Ooo ounces, of the commercial value
OF S33, 12S. 400 which was . 433 900 ounces. or
per cent, less than it was in 1900 The
greatest gain-1 ,493 200 ouuces-was in Utah.
almost all of which came from the Park
CITY district. Nevada, New Mexico and
WASHINGTON also made substantial gains.
Inc production of Colorado, owing to the
decline in the grade of ores extracted, fell
on 2o46,1 1D fine ounces, while Montana 3
ye yield diminished 1,O63,7OO ounces. Idaho's
os6.2oo and South Dakota's 1882
The total value of the precious metals
produced by the United States in 1901
amounted to Sill, 1856 100, which was ST.
.N4, 100, or per cent, less than the Weld for

CHEAPER MEAT IN VIEW
PROBABLE REDUCTION IN PRICE
IN LOCAL MARKETS.
Retailers Note Decline of Twenty Five
Per Cent by the Whole
sale Dealers.

Business men, artisans, housewives, every
one, will be glad to learn that there is a
probability of their buying meat cheaper
than at the prices that obtained during the
spring and early summer.
1t will be a relief to know that according
to statements made by representatives of
the big western meat dealers who, to a
great extent, supply the local retailers with
meats, that prices are lower by about %
per cent that they were couple of months
ago. This refers, of course, to the prices
demanded by the wholesalers from the re-
taiers.
This is understood to be due to the fact
that grass-fed cattle are being sent to the
eastern market. Advices from st. Louis
today are that meat is cheaper by 20 to %
per cent than six weeks ago.
~ What the Wholesalers Predict.
Local wholesalers who were seen by an
Evening Star reporter this afternoon were
not backward in declaring that meat will
be cheaper and that lower prices will pre-
vail, most likely, from now until the first
OF January at least Bountiful crops and
the arrival of large consignments of we'll
fed cattle at Kansas City, st. Louis Chi
cago, omaha and other beef centers are
SAID to be the causes for the decline in
prices.
Retailers of meats are selling at prices
much lower than prevailed ninety days ago.
dealer quoted these prices this afternoon:
ND ND loasts 10 TO ~ cents a pound; porter
mouse, 70 to % cents; sirioin, Is to 20 cents;
soup meats, 6 to cents
some OF the retailers seen this afternoon
admitted that the western grass-fed cattle
that are being brought into the market are
Hot the best, but say the meat is good
Corn-fed cattle are said to be bringing
prices trifie higher than those quoted.
