PRODUCTION OF GOLD.
Decrease ss,e1s,1s in 1910 Compared
With That During 1909.

Washington, Jan. 24.-California
has displaced Colorado as first in gold
production, according to preliminary
figures for 1910 just issued by the
United States geological survey. Ne
vada outstripped Alaska during the
same period, taking third place while
Arizona is awarded seventh place over
Montana, which held it in 1909. South
Dakota and Utah retain their posi-
tions as fifth and sixth respectively.
The total gold production for the
year was $96O55,214, a decrease of 49,
61S1S6 compared with 1909.
The increase in CALIFORNIA; gold pro-
duction was 100000 during 1910; Col
orado decreased $1,40O.O00; Nevada
gained $1,5OO,OO0; Alaska decreased
$3.50 900, and Arizona increased $780,
0OO
The estimated export trade in gold
in 1910 totalled $S5OO,O0O. while i'm
ports are given at $5S,33O,OOO The re-
sulting $4,000 balance in favor of i'm
ports is a reversal of conditions in
1902 when SSS,793,S55 excess in ex-
ports was exported. Most of the i'm
ported gold in 1910 came as Mexican
ore and bullion.

lar position in Rhode Island.
After serving for two years as pres
ident of the State University of wis
consin and a similar period as head
of st. Johns College, Mr.. Barnard was
appointed in 1867 to be the first Unit
ed States Commissioner of Education.
He remained i'm that office three years
and laid tho foundation for tho Nalttn =
