One Of the earliest finds Of gold in the
United States was referred TO by Thomas
Jefferson in his diary 1t was a lump OF
pure gold found on the Rappahannock
River. in Virginia. Now many millions Of
gold is produced every year. The Cripple
Creek district in Colorado alone has pro-
duced over Sl25.0O0,OO0 In CaIifornia's
palmy days as much as $50 O00.O00 worth OF
gold was produced in single year. The
surface Of Alaska has only been scratched.
but upward OF 100000 Of gold is pro-
duced there annually. Alaska is said to
contain the richest gold deposits in the
world. the gold placer field in Seward
Peninsula alone containing 20oe0 SQUARE
miles. The latest claimant for horors
as a gold-bearing territory is the Nevada
desert. where the mining camps OF
Tonopah, Goldfeld, Bullfrog, Rawhide, and
a number OF others have sprung into
being within the last few years. From
that region is pouring a steady stream
OF the precious metal.
II the scarcity OF a metal is any indica-
ton Of its value, silver ought TO be more
valuable than gold. as the world IS pro-
ducing S400.oO0,0O0 Of gold and only slo0.-
100000 Of silver per apnum. A large part
Of the American production of these
metals is consumed by the United States
mints- The coinage OF the PhiladeIphia
mint last year was Si4S. .12S. .05l9 SO. not in

That there is a wide field for the min

increased fvefold between 1880 and 1906.

these. SI9.4s0 men were kept busy at a
total annual salary Of S4o0 900. 600 such
are the tremendous proportions to which
