of ground about a mile east of the
city for the disposal of the sewage.
Thru this land runs a small creek with
running water the year round. This
creek continues east thru the south
part of Malcolm. AT first there was
nothing done with the sewage but to

Washington, May IA pre-

tables bearing on the production of
gold prepared by the bureau of sta

of gold money is practically seventy
five per cent more than decade ago.
1.-THE gold production from the dis
covery of America to the present
time it is stated, aggregates 13 bill
lion dollars in round terms: and the
amount of gold now in existence is
estimated by experts, still speaking in
round terms, at II billion dollars
value while the value of the gold coin
in all the countries of the world
from which statistics are available
nog aggregates billion dollars.

RECLAMATION OF LANDS IN THE
SOUTH

In the Carolinas much progress is
already being made in reclamation
work, while Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas and Arkansas are giving
great attention to the same subject.
In Louisiana at least 100000 acres of
land may thus be reclaimed. Much
of that land is not even swamp, but
stretches away so level for such great
distances that the rainfall is not dis
posed of rapidly until ditching of the
simplest kind is resorted to. When
that is done-it is being done upon
an ever-increasing scale, especially
since the incoming of a number of
western land operators and large con-
tractors-the soil, most of it merely
the detritus of the ages, ranging to a
depth of 1000 feet, readily commands
a minimum of from $50 to $50 an
acre. In North Carolina plans are
forming for draining Mattamuskeet
Lake, which, when carried through,
will add 10000 acres of fertile land
to that portion of the country and en-
nance the value of other thousands
of contiguous acres. A larger under
taking looks to the drainage of some
millions of acres in the Florida Ev-
erglades.-Richard H. Edmonds.
