WORLD GAINS IN GOLD
The United states shows Slight Loss
IN Years Output.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The gold produe-
ton of the United States during 1911
was 1896, 2SS. 52S, and the silver produc
ton S57. 2323, 52S. according to estimate
issued by George E. Roberts, director
of the mint This is a reduction in
gold of about S45,0OU, and in silver of
about 100000 ounces, as compared with
the returns for 1910.
Among the states and territories the
principal gold producers We're: Califor-
mia, $40, 310,9S7; Colorado, SIS, 153, $50; Ne
vada, $1S.968,57S; Alaska. $16,002,976;
South Dakota, S7,4S0,567; Utah, 81,
747; Montana, $3,169,S40; Arizona, 81,
954. $50. and Idaho. S1,169, PSI.
In the order named, Utah, Montana.
Nevada Colorado and Idaho led as sill
yer producers. At the average price for
the year the total silver product was
worth $40, 1854. 500.
The net amount of gold and silver
used in the industrial arts was approx
mately $34. 100000 gold and 24,O00,00C
ounces of silver. The coinage of the
mis1ts was: Gold, $50. 1852: silver, Sc
457 -301; nickel and copper. SO. 1856, 726. To-
tai $65, 790,S50. The net gain in the
country's stock of gold coin including
bullion in the treasury during the year
was close to 100000, O00.
The directors report gives the final
figures for the production of gold of
the world in 1910 at $454.703,90O-
The director also makes a pre1imi-
nary estimate on the worlds pEoduc-
tdon in 1911 of 100000, or a gain
of about S12. 900 The Transvaal
Increased its output by about S14. 000,-
900 and other African fields gained
$4,000, 900. On the other hand. Aus
tralia showed a continuance of the
decline which has been persistent
since 1903. the loss in 1911 being
about 100000 The production of
North America was about the same as
IN 1910.
These three grand geographic di-
visions produced nearly $4O0,0O0.00O
and the gains and losses in other pro-
ducing countries probably about of
set each other.
although gold production continues
to- increase, the increase was at a di-
nznishing rate and the director ex-
presses the opinion that there is moth
ing in the present outlook to indicate
a repetition of the phenomenal gains
that were made between 1890 and
1 500 and between 1901 and 1908. They
we're the result of the discovery of the
cyanide process and of the develop
ment of the wonderful Transvaal field
The only country in the world that
is showing notable gains at this time is
Africa and the Transvaal field is near
ing It's maximum.

REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT
President Taft Defends His Course
Regarding Russian Treaty.

New York, Jan. Preceded by dis
sensions which seemed for a time to
threaten climax anything but pa
cific, the Citizens Peace banquet Sat
urday night proved in realization ev-
erything that its name implied 50 far at
least as concerned it's attendant con-
ditions President Taft. who was the
guest of honor and chief speaker of the
evening, while arguing for the pending
arbitration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain anu France,
as he has done previously at similar
gatherings, went further than in other
addresses and replied specifically to
some criticisms recently made against
the principles embodied in those trea-
ties. He also made answer to the charge
of inconsistency lodged against adVo-
Gates of the arbitration treaties, who
did not favor arbitration in the dim
Guilty between the United States and
Russia.
Those of us who are in favor of
these treaties have been criticized as
inconsistent because we did not invoke
arbitration in the recent difference with
Russia said Mr.. Taft.
II am not entirely willing to speak
as frankly as I might of that because
my tongue is tied in a slight way by
what we hope for in future negotia-
tons. All that can say IS that II
you will read the great argument OF
FHfhu Root on the question of when
why arbitration would not do, I am
content to stand on his exhibit and ex-
PLANTATION of that.
what we have got to come to is this.
said the president, to recognize either
that want arbitration and peaceful
settlement of disputes, or that we don
Ard we have got to mean business when
We go into arbitration. This playing OF
heads win and tails you lose viii make
no progress in Christian civilization 1t
is not possible that we should win in
every case
He Grows Emphatic.
In starting out the president spoke in
favor of the treaties with Great Britain
and France much on the lines he has
made familiar and only toward the close !
of criticisms and charges Of inconsistency. |
At one point in this portion OF his speech |
he became emphatic.
81 am not taking anything back ne !
said The president declared that If ever /
anything should be submitted to arbitra- |
ton it WIS questions of personal or ma !
fional honor. Then he stopped and said;
Perhaps have gone too far In my en- |
thusiasm,' but the audience would not |
have it that way and when he asked |
pointedly: Are we to step back2' he 4
got an emphatic no" for response.
The president was loudly cheered as he /
concluded
dent were included the speakers of the |
evening Andrew Carnegie Oscar s |
Strauss, former ambassador to turkey, |
former United States Senator Charles A.
yToyyne and Henry CIeWS, with Governor
elect Earle Brewer of Mississippi, Bishop

pal church Raoul Dandurand, chairman
of the interparliamentary group, Canadian

ter.

His Honesty Demonstrated.

Application for employment was re-
cent? made to a Louisville business
man by young chap from the noun
tain region of the state The Louis
VILE man was favorably impressed by
the stranger, but as no references We're
offered he determined to hold the ap-
plication in allegiance until he could
personally look into the young mans
antecedents. which he could do when
next he visited that part of the state
whence the applicant hailed
1t was not long before the oppor-
tunity was afforded. The Louisville
man sought out the sheriff of the
young mans home county and asked:
DO you know Bill Sparks?
Shore, I know him..
what kind of a young man is he?"
Pretty fair"
ssIs he honest ?"
Honest? Shore Why, he's been
arrested three times for stealth and
acquitted each time" = Louisville
