Southern Gold and Southern Cotton.
Before 1Si9 the south furnished the
chief geld fields of the country. but
since that date the south has not been
in the running. This section has been
outclassed by California. by Colorado
by Nevada. and last but not least by
Alaska. In the last fiscal year Alabama
produced gold to the value of SAL 200
and silver to the value of 5000. This
state was outranked in gold produc.
ton in order by North Carolina
Georgia. and South Carolina but
no one of them turned out enough
gold to make the round figure of s1O0..
900. The entire production of gold in
the south in the last year was $685.
400 and s273.OOO in silver. Nearly all
the silver was mined in Texas.
1t is pretty plain that Alabama and
all the rest of the south can get more
gold out of the soil via the cotton boil
than it can dig out in the gold mines
proper. The climate and the soil can
in that way be coined into gold. Tho
method is trifie more circuitous. but
II yields in cotton alone more money
nine times over than do all the gold
fields in the country, for the total
yield of gold in the last fiscal year
in this country was but s94, $50 .0OO.---
