FLOW OF GOLD.

Last week the bankers of Berlin. Paris, London and
New York made an effort to advance money rates. alleg-
ing as a cause the peace requirements Of Russia and
Japan, says the Denver News. But a single dealer in
bullion, who was not interested in the general scheme,
defeated the plan by shipping 100000 in South African
gold bars from London to New York, in which market it
met a flow of $17OOO,OOO in fresh gold from Alaska and
other millions in co,n and bullion from our own pro
ducing mines, from Japan and from Australia. The
single consignment from small
In amount-caused the price Of call loans to recede, and
the financial journals once more announced that cur
rency was adequate to the demands of trade, with great
crops and great improvements added.
This calls attention to the revised reports of the
director of the American minis for the calendar year
1904. He placed the gold output of the world in that
year at $341, $4,000. to which America contributed $50,
723, 200, meaning 3,904,9S6 ounces. The total for South
Africa was S75.S 1873, 600. 1t is probable that this country
will show a further increase this year, but South African
production will exceed the United States output, as Sos
900 600 is reported for two-thirds of 1905, promising about
500, 100000 for the twelve months. With an aggregate
of about S400.OO0,000 this year, the Transvaal will provide
a fourth. and the United States probably more than a
fifth. Examination of last years result in this country
shows Colorado the leading producer of gold, with over
$4,000 600, almost a third of the total, but as compared
with the preceding year, California made the best gain,
$40, 1O9, 800 in value, exceeding the figures of 1903 by
about 100000. This is the best exhibit for that state in
over a generation. The recent increase was due to dredge
operations. which are still larger this year. Alaska ranks
third, with a value of S~9,3O4,2OO; South Dakota fourth,
with $%7.O24,6OO, and Montana fifth. with ~$5,O97,sOo.

RAILROAD COMPARISONS.

The Bureau of Manufactures, Department of Com
merce, recently called attention to the following con-
trasts
The freight rates on English roads is 1893 cents a ton
mile. A ton mile of merchandise or live stock in England
costs 2.91 cents and on all commodities an average of
232 cents. Against these, the figures for the same ser
vice in the United States are surprisingly small, being
.5S of a cent. On German roads it is LAP cents; on the
French 1.55 cents; Austrian lie cents and Hungarian
130 cents.
Engand's passenger rates per mile in the same
classes were 4 cents, Germany's 3S cents. For their
average days wages, workmen can travel as follows:
American 50 miles, British 50 miles, German SO miles,
French 40 miles, Belgian SO miles, Italian 3S miles, and
East Indian Fl miles.
On American roads, locomotive engineers average 81
a day; English $162; Belgian, $1O1. American firemen
get $2.2S; British 81 cents; Belgian ~ cents. Railroad
section hands in the United States are paid two to four
times as much as section hands on foreign roads.
Forty per cent Of the gross earnings of American
railroads goes TO labor, while only 25 per cent goes to
capital. In England labor gets p per cent, capital 80 per
cent. In Germany the division is equal.

STOCKING STREAMS
WITH YOUNG FISH
Consignment of Thousands
of Bass and Trout for
New Mexico
NOW BEING PLACED IN STREAMS

Fisheries car No. 8, Of the United
States department of fisheries, arriv-
ed from the east last night attached
to passenger train No. 1 and will re-
main here several days. The car is
in charge of Capt. T. c. Pierce and
contains thousands Of young bass and
trout. The fish are from the govern
ment hatcheries at NeOsho. Mo, and
MerodOsia, H.. and will be used to
stock the streams Of New Mexico and
Arizona.
On the trip to Albuquerque stops
were made at Springer and Maxwell
City, where 1000 fish were placed in
the ponds in that vicinity. A stop was
also made at G,%orieta, where 5000 fish
were sent up the Rio Pecos to stock
that stream and its tributaries. Ter
ritorial Game Warden Page b. Otero
is superintending the stocking of the
streams in the Pecos country.
The car will remain here several
days, during which time several thou
sand fish will be sen to Flagstaff, the
Grand Canyon and southern Arizona,
where the streams in those localities
will be stocked. The remainder of
the fish will be sent to Lordsburg, Mo-
Rarity, La Veta and other points in
New Mexico.
Captain Pierce reports that very
few fish died on the trip. The car in
which they are contained is fitted up
with the latest appliances for the
transporting of young fish and is a
very interesting sight to see.

PRESS BULLETIN.

Bulletin 1879, of the United States Geological Survey,
released yesterday to the press, contains an investiga-
ton of the black sands" of the United States, and from
it The Citizen selects the following:
"A circular letter requesting samples of black sand
was sent last March to the 5000 placer miners of the
United States and S2S samples of sand have been re-
ceived for investigation. These came from Alabama,
Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, California, Central
America, Colorado, Cuba, Georgia, Idaho, Indian Terri

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
This shows a greater interest in the matter OF OBJ
tanning additional useful values from black sand than had
been expected. OF these, 1876 specimens have been as
sayed for their contents of gold and platinum, with the
results shown in the accompanying table,
In this department, New Mexico showed the follow

After Many Years.

The old Commerce mine at Ash Peak is again being
worked, and it is turning out some picked ore that will
run more than a thousand dollars to the ton. Some years
ago the Commerce was opened up by Mike Twomey, and
he was working a large force of men on it. one day the
powder magazine, which was in one Of the drifts, blew
up, and several men were killed. The property was shut
down, supposedly until settlement of damage suits could
be made. Soon after this Col. Twomey died, and the
property since then has been in charge of a Waterman,
who has kept up the assessment work. 1t is now being
operated under the management of Ed Murphey, who has
been sinking a Wine. in order TO connect two levels,
and so improve the ventilation, and in this sinking he

A POET WHO SINGS OF
SOME THINGS THAT ARE TRUE
BY M. L. Corey
BY M. L. Corey

Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself has said,
MY trade of late is getting bad,
III try another ten inch ADJ
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him, no bank account shall swell:
No angel watch the golden stair
TO welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
BY local line or ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly friends, let no rude sound,
Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him lie in calm repose,
Unsought, except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispell
The quiet that he loves so well.
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss;
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

been monopolized by the government. The total gross
revenue from the tobacco monopoly in France is shown
to have been over $4,000 900 in 1902, which is tanta-
mount to a head tax of $2OS. By dividing the quantity
Of tobacco officially consumed into the gross revenue
the average cost to the consumer can be determined.
What per cent Of the total outlay for tobacco goes to
the government in the shape of excise, in such countries
where the manufacture and sale of tobacco is left to
private enterprise can not be stated with any degree of
certainty.
In this country the total value of tobacco manufac-
lures, according to the twelfth census, was in excess of
$263, 100000, exclusive Of the value of imported manu-
features of tobacco and profits of all kinds, which are
comparatively high in the tobacco trade. The total gov
eminent revenue of 65.S million dollars constitutes thus
a much smaller percentage of the total consumers cost
than in the European countries, with the possible eX-
ception of Germany and Belgium, where the tax on to-
bacco is comparatively small.
Great Britain does not produce any tobacco, but i'm
ports all she uses from abroad, principally from this
country. The duties are very high, the average rate per
pound being five times as high as in this country, with
the result that, while the per capita consumption is
relatively low, 1876 pounds, as against ga pounds in the
United States, the total revenue from tobacco is almost
as high as in this country.
The taxation of tobacco appears to be highest in
Italy, France and the United Kingdom, and lowest in
Belgium, Mexico, Germany and the United States, in
the order named. On the whole, it is true that the
countries with the highest taxation show the lowest con-
sumption and inversely, though there is no exact CORE
s%pondence, for the reason mainly that, while the tax con-
stitutes a very large portion of the consumers price,
high taxes or increased taxation may result merely in
decreased consumption of the more expensive grades Of
the article and increased consumption of the cheaper
grades.

Benefits From Banks.

The prosperity of a community depends largely on
the policy pursued by its banks.
For thirteen years the Bank of Deming has been
identified with the progress of Deming, New Mexico.
The funds of its depOstOrs have been wisely and
conseryatively handled, and every call for "a return of
the same has been honored with unfailing promptness.
The resources of this bank have been used to pro-
mote and strengthen worthy and responsible enterprises,
and much Of the progress of this community is due to
the careful, get liberal, policy followed in making loans.

IN PHILADELPHIA.

1t has been brought to light. in the effort to clean
out the political Augean stable of Philadelphia, that in
a single election there were more than $1,000 repeaters'
while 5000 illegal or phantom names had been placed on
the list and voted by the machine.
1t is estimated that no less than 10000 Illegal votes
were cast in Philadelphia last November.
Mayor Weaver has presented another lesson, not so
big, but more comprehensive, by the small taxpayer. In
three months, by insiting on business principles and the
elimination of graft wherever he could, Weaver has
saved to the city just $7S6,933.

COMPARATIVE USE OF
TOBACCO BY LEADING NATIONS
San Francisco Chronicle

The United States leads all other nations in the total
consumption of tobacco, while Belgium stands at the
head of the tobacco-consuming countries, so far as the
per capita consumption of the fragrant weed is con-
cerned. Germany and Russia are the only two other
countries besides the United States which show a total
consumption of over 100000 600 pounds. The following
table, which furnishes the figures of total and per capita
consumption of different countries, shows that the
United States consumes twice as much tobacco as Ger
many, which stands second on the list:

FIELDERS OF TO-DAY.

So far as the figures themselves are concerned there is little to show that the fielders nowadays have anything on the fielders of twenty years ago First base playing nowadays shows marked improvement in the number of assists. and the bag is played difier- ently; but comparisons of the outfield- CTS work do not put the old timers in a poor light. In 1887 Jimmy Fogarty had 8 assists in 129 games. in 1889 he had 42 assists in 12S games; while Jim my Ryan. one of the greatest throwers that ever graced the outer garden. had 8 assists in 120 games in 1889. George Browne. a fine thrower. had 20 assists in 149 games in 1904, and Sebring had ? in 136 games. In 1885 Mike Kelley had g assists in s5 games. There was more throwing men our at the plate from the outfield on line in those days than now. The base running may be faster now than then. but as against wagner's B stolen bases last year Fogarty stole 1O2 one season and Johnny Ward III. and in fewer games than Wagner played. The improve ment in baseball is more in team play than individually.

WRESTLING.
ARTICLES TO
 BE DRAWN
This Afternoon Will See Swanson and Cnaki Sign For the Championship of the World

Representatives of Alex Swanson or this city and Billy Cnaki of Bridgeport will meet tonight at 8 o'clock to draw up articles for their wrestling match which will take place in City hall this month. In all probability the match will be made for S100 side and for the welterweight championship of the world, at 145 pounds. It will not take very long evidently to come to terms because both men are eager for the contest. It should be an interesting affair, too, for good many reasons. Swanson now holds the welterweight championship belt. having won the same from Harvey Parker in New York. Cnaki has not met as many of the top notchers as has Swanson, but he has done some good work. Every body will remember his match with John E. Kelly in this city, when Kelly was in his prime, when Kelly and Cnaki went of the platform in mix up and Kelly was injured. Swanson and Kelly were about evenly matched as to ability. Ed O'Connell of New Haven has beaten Kelly and Swanson has beaten OConnell within the past few months. Therefore this match will bring together two men who hold equal records. with the exception of SwansOn's defeat of Parker. Un- doubtedly the articles will call for the winner to take everything.

SPRINGFIELD AND o'NEILL

="
 There will be no sale of the Spring field baseball team until fall, and If there is one then it will only be at the price named by Owner Dan O'Neil, $7,5O0. Yesterday the Springfield man. ager declared that sale talk should be forgotten until the end of the season at least, for he has decided to end all negotiations.
 It's doubtful whether Manager O'Neil could deliver the players now signed on the Springfield list if he should decide to sell. Determiled op- position to sale plans were expressed by the players. There have been many little by-plays which have welded the feelings of friendship between Man ager O'Neil and the players. In Jew London Tuesday the Ponies had a three hours sail on the ocean and only the coming of storm cut short their sport. During this trip the Ponies de- clared strongly in favor of the present management.
 Frank Fitzpatrick. the Springfield captain. arrived in Springfield yester- day. He will have several days of working out before attempting to join the Ponies. FitZ has been in Water bury recovering from his accident ill Norwich three weeks ago when he sprained an ankle.
