The membership of these organiza

in the railroad world who would be
similarly effected by any reduction in
the earning capacity of the railroad
lines of this country. and what impress

OF the issue IS this:
why have the railroad interests III

WHERE DOES THE GOLD Go?

The gold production Of the
world is so great an amount an
nnally that the question has
been asked: "What becomes Of
all the gold:" The worlds gold
output last year was in the neigh
borhood of S250,00O, 900, and as
it is reasonable to suppose that
all that had been previously pro-
duced was still in EXISTENCE
minus loss by wear, the question
Of what becomes of each years
new production is a very INTEREST
ing one.
A London paper has sought to
find an answer, and prints fig
ures showing to what extent the
leading banks of the world had
increased their gold stocks dur
ing the year 1904, comparison
being made with the year 1903.
The figures account for $258,
$4,000 held the worlds leading
banking institutions. January l.,
1905, over. the amount they held
on January /, 1904. The total
figures as presented in the table,
are: On January 1, 1905, gold
stocks of the leading banks of
the world, s2,O7O,9 75, 200; on
January 1, 1904, 81, 812, 105, 600,
AS seen, these figures account
for about S258, 900, 600 taken from
the worlds gold production of
1904, and leave aboutS100, 600, 900
unaccounted for. The arts re-
quire much gold each year, but
not to the extent of this unac-
connted-for amount. The only
possible explanation is that there
is a large percentage Of gold pri-
vately boarded each year, and if
search were made it is probable
that a large proportion of such
percentage would be found in

C. D. Chamberlain in recent letter
from QuartZite has the following TO say
about some of the mines and what is
being done in and around them:
''The Belle of Arizona, located by II.

main shaft is about 2l0 feet deep. At
that depth drift was run % feet east;

water is plenty.
The Desert Queen company has not
renewed work on its properties in the
Plomosa range. The manager, Mr..
John Wyatt is pushing the Tunnel pro-
iect on its Copper Bottom group in

that such use Of any lands will
be prevented by proper actions

Transplanting Trees at Night

Pie best season for transplant
ing trees with leaves that fall is
November to April, but Novem-
Der to January is preferable, es-
peeially IN dFyish soil. Ever
greens, such as cherry laurals,
shonld be transplanted in Au-
gust and April. BY the use of
special means and precautions
some trees and bushes of these
kinds may be transplanted in the
summer. 1t appears, however,
from experiments, that trans
planting by night modifies these
ordinary usages. 1t had already
been observed that trees com
mencing to bud could be trans
planted by night better than dur
ing the day, and many trees and
flowers of different sorts have
been successfully transplanted,
even in summer months, by do
ing it at night. Care should be
