1t requires no great penetration to see
that such bath Is very exhausting and

Manufacturing Gold.

The time has come when gold is an
article of manufacture. There are
practically exhaustless tracks Of rock
and soil in which gold is being pro-
duced in enormous quantities with alb
Solute elimination of risk. 1 shall
briefly consider two typical instances
of "gold manufacture" either one of
which is sufficient to doom gold as a
medium of exchange.
In 1884 the discovery of the greatest
deposits of gold in all history was
made known. This was in the Wit
watersrand district of the Transvaal OF
South Africa. Compared with it the
famous Comstock Mines were moth
ing. Not until recent years has it been
possible to go ahead in the extraction
of the billions in gold which are scat
tered through the rocks and soil of the
Witwatersrand. 1t required new
processes, but science and invention
supplied them. Here is a gold bear
ing reef, forty miles in length, twenty
miles in width. and in which borings
to q depth of $500 feet show gold in
undiminiShed quantities! How much
gold is there in the Witwatersra :?
Hundreds probably thousand Of bill
lions Of dollars of it!
The Witwatersrand conglOmerate
carries only the insignificant amount Of
ten penEyweights of gold to the ton.
but it runs uniform. Therefore it is only
a question Of machinery and labor to
determine the yield. Money supplies
the machinery. and China the labor
The annual production of the Trans
Naal gold factories now exceeds $780,
100000, and the record is broken every
north. If labor can be had there is
no reason why the output should not
reach half billion a year. and the
rock can be worked for centuries with
out making q serious impression on its
vast extent.
Not many years ago it was discOv-
cred that all of the soil in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin Valleys was
filled with gold We will consider
what is being done in the Sacramento.
For hundreds of miles this river runs
through broad valley of width
varying from twenty to more than one
hundred miles. When it became

there was built a floating gold factory
at cost of s25O,000. 1t took position
near bank Of the river, and with It's
dredging appliances began to eat i's

Logical Reasons For Serious Con-

Now York, Aug. 1S.--Leslie M. Shaw,

the financial and industrial conditions
today:
Our farms produce more than &c.

good for an average crop. Our mines
Weld more than 1.5OO, 100000 and our
forests more than 81, 900 100000. The out
put of our factories, in other than 1ood
products. is approximately Sl2'ooo'o"o,-
600 and no fires have been eXtingulShed.
The railways earn more than $2.ooo.oOo,-
COO and they are all in succeSs1ul oper-
alton. The pay rolls of our factories
and railways aggregate approximately
s3.100 0G0,000 nd the scale wages mas
nnt Lcen reduced. In other words the
real sources of the peoples wealth
have not vet been affected and the
ability of Industrial concerns to pay
dividends is not measured by the mar
i1et price of their stocks. Logical real
SONS for serious conditions are there
fore wanting. Psychological reasons
are never wanting.
IF I Judge correctly the people will
have exactly what they expect. III those
who have money in the banks Withdraw
it and lock it up; if the banks refuse
10 grant accommodations, and the con-
Stunning public refuses to place orders
then we will very soon witness the
effect.
LET those who think that times OF
disaster follow each other at regular
intervals, bear in mind that this coun-
Try has never yet experienced period
Of severe depression that was not
trace able to financial or economic aGi-
tatiOn or legislation, and usually to
both.
"In 1893 the redemption of green
backs in silver instead of gold was
openly advocated. The party in power
was under promise to remove the pro-
tective tariff from our industries and
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to I was championed by prominent
members of both parties. The country
might have survived any one of these
series of alarms, but it could not sur.
yive all three.
AT this time no one questions ON
financial system and the tariff will not
b. touched for at least IS months.
'SOme check in the speed at which
we arc going is most desirable and the
checking process has probably begun
1t will not require a fair measure OF
confidence and courage to prevent un
due rctardncnt i'll our industries. Capt.

sanity was more essential to our wei
