compiled by the director of the

Of the gold production in the
United States Including Alaska
and the insular DosscsSiOns) was
500. 055,214, a decrease of $685.
1856 from the value Of the output i'm
1909, which was 500. 673, 400.
Important in ,reascs in pr0duc-
ton are indicated for California
Nevada and Arizona and smaller
increases for New Mexico, North
Carolina, Utah and Wa. hington.
Decreased output Of gold is noted
for Alaska, where the production
from the Fairbanks and Seward
Peninsula gravelt has finally hcgun
to decline; for Colorado, where
operations in Cripple Greek mines
until near the end of 1910 were
somewhat less active pending the
completion of deep drainage by
the Roosevelt tunnel; for South
Dakota, where the greatHomcstakc
and other mines and mills have
made less than their normal yield
owing to labor diffic utios in the
early part Of the year; and for
Idaho, Montana. Oregon and
Virginia. where the decrease in
output Is less important.
With the prospect of further
increase in production in Nevada.
continued good results in Calf.

of production at Cripple Creek
and in the Black Hills, and with
normal conditions elsewhere, the
outlook for 1911 is good.

 defense an affirmative reply Judge Doan ordered the jury boiled be- fore the verdict should be recorded, and the clerk, first reading the in. dictment to the jury, then calling each individual juror in his order on the panel, put the question lis this your verdict?" And recording the question and affirmative an- swer, did as directed. Then the yer dict was recorded and read to the jury, who collectively acknowledg. ed the verdict was theirs, and they were discharged from the case.
 By order of the Court the import of the verdict was communicated to Franco, and he was returned to the iail to await sentence, the time for which was set at 9 o'clock yes- terday morning. Then the court was dismissed for the day.
 The family of the defendant, which remained in the court room, was informed of the verdict, and there ensued a distressing scene. The wife of the defendant wept in a heartbroken manner, and his sons and brothers, grown men, bore every evidence of distress and anguish, although shedding no tears.
 One of the four mentioned. is an uncle of one of the men now taken, and he is a man with hard re. putation, long suspected of having had a leading hand in the many mysterious murders that have been committed within the past ten or twelve years along the Santa Cruz valley. Then it is said that before this last tragedy the Chinese in Nogales, Sonora, had a count of twenty-five who had started thence for Tucson by night and had never got through to their destination. Itis reasonable to suspect that this same gang had hand in their misconnection upon the midnight line into the promised land for all ambitious celestials.
 Then here was an opportunity for meting out punishment richly deserved by two of the murderous gang that has infested Santa Cruz county ever since its creation and long before, and striking into the hearts of their associats terror that would have given the county for number of years surcease of tragedies so shocking as its people have experienced. Yet the foolish sentimentality of two or three men on jury defeated fine op. portunity. In the Franco case the Court got a jury made of sterner stuff; and there was given a righteous verdict. And it is about time that Santa Cruz county juries began finding such verdicts. Ii IS to be hoped that this verdict will be followed by others of the kind until Santa Cruz county is nd of it's murderous element, either by execution or by growth in their hearts of the fear of the law.
 Yesterday morning the defen- tendant Franco was brought into Court for judgment and sentence was pronounced that he be taken to the Territorial penitentiary al Florence, and there, on Friday July 7th, 1911, to be hanged by the neck until he is dead.
