GOLD YIELD INCREASES
Interesting Figures Showing
Increase In Gold Production.

Increase In Gold Production.
Some interesting figures are given
by Joseph Pinkham of the Boise as.
cay Office, relative to the amount
OF gold and silver handled in the
Boise Office.
During the past year the sum of
81, ,OO7, 399. on in those two precious
metals passed through the Boise Of
fee. OF this, 1911, ,330.74 was in
gold, the rest being silver, amount
ing to $50, ,568.21.
These figures show Q material
gain over the year 1906, when
1887, ,945. 80 in gold and s27, 159. IA
in silver wac received, . total Of
1896, 1O4.47. The silver showed .
considerable proportional gain over
the gold in that time, being an in
crease Of about 80 per cent, where
as the gold increased but ~ per
cent. This increase comes partly
from the increasing value Of silver,
but is attributable mostly to new
ruling Of the treasury department.,
which allows the assay Offices to
receive bullion with q larger pro-
portion Of silver than formerly.
The old rule was to allow no pur.
chase of bullion that contained
one.tenth Of it's value in gold.
This has been changed somewhat,
offering larger market for bullion
containing silver.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Pinkham
that the increase Of gold will stead
lily increase in the state. The
notable gain Of last year, when the
shortage of water for both placer
and quartz mining cut of the ex.
pected product most seriously,
shows that new properties are
being put into the producing list.
The weather conditions are more
noticeable in the assay Office than
in any other Office in the state, as
little as there might seem to be in
common between gold and water.
Last season and the season before,
there was little water for placer
mining, the shortage being 60 acute
that last year some Of the regular
producers did not turn on the
water at all. In localities like
Buffalo Hump, where the quartz
miners depend upon water power
for the power to run their stamp
mile, the shortage has the same
effect, that Of curtailing the out
put. So far this year there has
been an unusual snowfall in the
state, and this is expected to re-
store normal conditions for mining.
Should this be SO, the Boiee Office
may be expected to gain largely
this year, possibly even up to the
two million mark.
There is little accurate data on
which to estimate the gold pro-
duction of the state. Not all the
gold mined in Idaho is sent to the
Boise Office, some going to Seattle,
some to the east and some being
worked up in the arts and trades.
Up to this year. the assay Office has
been endeavoring to make stat
istical return of all the gold in the
state, but this year the duty has
been assumed by the geological
survey department. Statesman.
