Although it was known in a gener-
al way that the production Of gold in
all parts of the world has shown a rap.
i'd development in recent years. the
details of the increase are not read
lily available in compact form, and
hence two papers by NJ. L. de Launay,
an eminent French mining Engineer
and professor at the Ecole Superieure
des Mines, published in recent issues
OF the Revue Generate des Sciences,
demand present attention. NJ. de Lau-
nay treats the subject, first from sta
tistical point of view, and second, as
a geologist and mining engineer, and
some review of both portions of his
discussion will beg iven.
Tho pnOrmOnS increase in the rate
of the production of gold is one of
the remarkable industrial and econom-
ic phenomena of the present time. The
curves representing the production of
other metals have shown upwoM ten
dency, more or less marked, but the
line showing the gold production OF
the world shows such a remarkable
upward tendency that at times it al
most approaches the vertical. When
the curve is separated into its three
components. representing respectively
the three principal sources, the Trans
vaal, the United States, and Australia
it is seen that there is marked SINH
larity between them, interrupted only
by the break due to the war in South
Africa. The figures for the year 1905
as given by NJ. de Launay, in francs
are: Transvaal 524,OOO,OOO; Australia
432,OO0,0O0 the United States, 436;
100000; total of l, 100000 francs
or about $278,O0O,O00, or 55,O00,O0(
pounds sterling. These three countries
produce u per cent of the world
total, which reaches 1905, OO0,OOt

of Montana at Missoula, and who ran
second to Dan Kelly when the Ore
gon sprinter broke the worlds rec
ord for the 100 years in Spokane las

Frank Chance, captain and manager
of the Chicago team of the National
league, pennant winners, is already
figuring on next years prospects. Il
think We have the championship in
hand, sure, for another year." he said
few days ago. "Of course am fgur.
ing that there will be no injuries to
players. There is no doubt but that
New York was badly hurt this year
by the loss of so many players, and
l presume they would have given US a
harder race for the pennant if the
team had been able to get through the
season intact"
1t is because of the failure of Beau.
mont this year, that the Pittsburg
team Of the National league has not
made better showing. Beaumont,
who for years past has been consid'
cred the peer of centerfielders in all
departments of the gmae, fell down
during the season just drawing to a
close in batting, fielding, base running
and general inside work, and it prob
ably that the base ball career of one
of the most remarkable players Of
the age is drawing to a close.

berry.
A young woman, wearing many jew

headquarters in the hope that she may
be able to throw some light on the
mystery
In what manner either King or Miss
McBetty came to know anything about
the robbery was carefully concealed
by the police.
Mystery is also made of the circum-
stances under which the Corwin jew
els were stolen. Persons interested re-.
fused to make public even the location
where the theft occurred

EXCLUDE POLITICS.

London, July 20-Introducing the
Indian budget in the house of COM

sounded a warning note on the neces-

ing of Great Britains foreign rela-
tions, he declared, were the Aslatic,
those involving this country with
China, Japan and Russia, which was
an Asiatic as well as an European
power. Every false step in India
would send Great Britain in confusion
infinitely more dire and more disas-
trous than had the false step taken
in South Africa.
