WORLDS GOLD HOARD.
In Uncle Sans Treasure Vaults Are
Nearly 1900 Tons.

Nearly one thousand three hundred
tons of gold lie today in the vaults OF
the treasury of the United States-ths
greatest hoard of the yellow metal ever
-Four hundred tons of this gold are piled
like bags Of salt within the four walls
of the subj treasury in Wall street, New

is in circulation through the country a
nearly equal amount of gold coin, max

dred tons of gold in the United States
bearing the imprint of the eagle The
value of this coin is more than 1,260
million dollars
one Of the remarkable things about
this gold is that. despite the fact of its
forming one-half of the country's cir
culatlng money. it is rarely seen in tho
course of ordinary business. one may
live in New York or Chicago or San
Francisco without seeing a single gold
coin for a year. This is in striking
contrast to conditions abroad. where
