county.
Mines in Yuba county that have re-
mained closed for some years are re-
opening and the production of gold in
the coming year should be much in
creased.
While some attention has been called
to the reported falling off in the gold
production of California in 1907, the
totals for gold output from the begin
ming of placer mining in this state
to the present time make refreshing
reading. The total is getting close to
81 500, 100000 and will undoubtedly
touch that mark in 1910, or possibly
aggregate of $4,000, 100000 is but
$40 .OO0. 900. 1t is true that no year re-
Gently has made up record OF
$50 .000. 900. for gold production in this
state. but the dredgers are increasing
in numbers, in areas for operation and
in efficiency. Any two recent years to-
gether make up gold production total
of more than s30,000.000
Gold production reached its lowest
ebb in this state in 1889, when 1t sank
to s11, 100000. Since then the srecovery
has been reasonably steady. No year
since 1889 can be accredited with less
than S12,000,000 and none since 1900
with less than s16,000,00 In these
computations the figures of the United
States geological survey alone are used

1t may be considered odd to class San
Francisco as one of the mining counties
of California yet the fact is that this
county has produced in mineral sub
stances. nonmetallic, of course. and

open court, annulled and Judge Hund- ley, of the United States revoked the order made recently by Judge Thomas G. Jones, appointing Alexander C.. Beirch referee in bankruptcy in the court of the Northern district of Ala
 bama. Judge Hundley ordered the clerk to refer all matters in bank ruptcy to Referee Steele except when he, the judge, was in the city on the bench and special directions are given. Judge Hundley gave out a lengthy oral decision in the matter. It is expected that Judge Jones will answer.
 This is the second time that the two judges have appointed referees, both having removed the others ap- pointee. Judge Hundley is recess appointment of President Roosevelt, the senate failing to confirm his ap- pointment before adjourning recently.
