THE GOLD ESTIMATES.

In the annual number Of The Tribune
we estimated the world S gold produc-
ton for the year 1912 at Si75.0000 900.
We see that the Hon. George +. Rob-
crts. Director OF the Mint. estimates
that production at S465 100000. He
puts the increase in the gold prodUc-
tion of 1912 compared with 1911 at
s5,5O0.O00. But if there was an in
crease OF that kind, then our estimate
is really closer TO the fact than is that
Of the Director of the Mint, we taking
the report of the Z. S. Geological Sur
vey as the basis OF our estimate
The report OF II. d. McCaskey OF
the L. S. Geological Survey, was
printed by the Government in scpa-
rate pamphlet last year. That report
estimated that the gold production of
the world in 1911 amounted to sl6I,-
$4,000. If, therefore, there was an in
crease in the gold product in 1912 com
pared with that of 1911 OF $500, ,000
then the gold product of 1912 amounts
in total to $472 ,949 500, which is within

believe that the report of the U. S.
Geological Survey will practically con-
firm our figures.
The reports of the Director OF the
Mint are always conservative. and be-
low the reports Of tho u. S. Geological
Survey. Bnt we consider the Geological
survey figures the more accurate. be
cause the officials OF that Bureau have
access 10 the reports of all the compn-
mics. and their figures are practically
the same as transcripts from the bull
lion reports of the different mining
operations.
We think also that Mr.. Roberts puts
the production OF gold in this country
too low when ne puts it at only S9l,-
6s5. .l6S in 1912, compared with $685.
500 900 in 1911. 1t does not appear to
uy that there has been such a falling
off as that We conceded that there
had been some falling of, but not that
much.
All considered, VIC feel content 10
rest upon our estimate of sl75,00e,00
AS the world 5 gold production in the
wear 1912. and fully believe that the
L. s. Geological Survey wall practical
ly confirm those figures.

THE CLAWS RESIGNATION.

We soc that Mr.. Louis r. CLAWS has
resigned from the secretaryship of the
California State Water Commission, as
well as the secretaryship Of the State
Conservation Commission. Mr.. CLAWS
will be recalled as the gentleman who
made himself so bitter foe of Secre-
tary Ballinger in pursuance OF the
CLAWS ,Pinchot conservation fads as ap-
plied 10 Alaska The specially Of the
CLAWS .Pinchot crowd was the depriva-
tion OF citizens of the United States
Of their rights OF entry. occupancy, and
appropriation OF the public domain
for any purpose whatever, No matter
how honest. how legal, how absolutely
ineoutestable in law and fairness, the
claim of the occupant or the one who
fled upon the public domain was, Mr..
CLAWS and Mr. Pinehot set themselves
10 work diligently TO use every power
of the Federal Government TO prevent
the occupant or claimant from enjoy
ing his rights. Mr.. CLAWS was com.
pelled to give way for insubordination
Taft had 10 dismiss Mr.. Pinehot from
the public service on the same grounds.
And il now appears that Mr.. CLAWS
has fallen BY the wayside, being
charged by Surveyor General Kings
bury OF California with neglect Of duty
and devoting too much time "to the
interests Of certain lumber companies
while in Washington in behalf OF the
State organizations.
This means, of course. that the meth
ods adopted by Mr.. CLAWS while he
was in the public service of the United
States viii not answer when the re-
| quiremeuts of business and straight
oversight are applied TO him. Mr.. CLAWS
is Jealous public servant in his way,
but his way Is one that does not COM

THE USUAL THING.

IL has been said that the buying Of
stocks Of corporations that are attacked
by the United States for being monopo-
lies is sure investment for good.
II tho United States wins there are i'm.
mense distributions Of profits. and
great gains in the value Of the stock.
If the United States loses, the com.
pany wins. and the same result fol-
lows. There was, following the disso-
luton of the Standard Oil holding com.
pany a distribution of profits beyond
al parallel in corporations. The dis,
tribution following the dissolution OF
the Tobacco Trust was only second 70
that OF the Standard Oil. And so 1t
has been generally When any Of these
corporations was baled into court, the
stockholders have had reason every
time TO bless the prosecution, and have
pocketcd with qualifications enormous
profits therefrom, whatever the out
come.

uTAH's SILVER AND COPPER.

Utah's product OF silver in 1912 is
placed by the Hon. George +. Roberts,
Director Of the Mint, at l2,795,072 fine
ounces. The Tribune S estimate of this
product given in our annual number
was 13,43l ,29s ounces. a difference of
636,2e6 fine ounces. The difference is
not great, and vet we believe that our
! figures are substantially accurate.
The figures of tho Director OF the
Mint put Utah second in the list of
silver producing States. Nevada being
first. We think that the ranking
named by the Director is correct, but
VIC believe that his totals for Utah
arc below the mark. Probably they
are below also for Nevada, since 1t is
tie desire OF the Mint officials always
TO keep the figures so low that no pos
sible charge Of eXaggeration can be
made; so the Director S figures are al
ways extremely conservative, and are
below the figures of other officialdom
dealing with like questions.
We are, therefore, quite content to
leave our figures as they stand, conf
dent that the fuller investigation which
will be made later on will vindicate
The Tribune's accuracy and confirm
our estimate.
In copper, Mr.. Roberts is at one with
The Tribune in his estimate for Utah.
Our reckoning of the product Of copper
OF this State in 1912 was 150,000,000
pounds. Mr.. Roberts says "The years
production Of copper in Utah viii eI-
ceed 100000 pounds, an increase
Of 100000 pounds over 1911, the in
creased output being due to activity
in the Bingham district Which is
quite true. and the increase would
have been moro but for the strike which
disturbed the operations OF that dis
trict for nearly a month.

the interests allied thereto. The
United States won a partial victory in
the ruling of the L. 5. supreme Court,
but on the direct case the corporation
won; so it NAV be said to have been
a standoff, but the usual result fol
lowed. Reading advanced its dividend
from six per cent to an eight per cent
standard, with corresponding increase
in stock value. There is no relief in
the price of coal. On tho contrary, an
advance is threatened
The com mpaDies were already earn
ing great dividends, and tho public was

riciousness Of the anthracite coal con.

now that the government won on a
side issue, but the corporation was vic
torious on the main point, the gaff is
applied TO the public more cruelty than
before.
Comment is made upon this as Gin
e1plicably foolish in view Of the fact
that public opinion had already been
aroused TO antagonism, and il is held
that "whether it is brazen disregard
Of public opinion or whether it is in.
e1cusable ignorance, the penalty will
have to be paid sooner or later" A
calm, dispassionate financial paper
that looks chiefly to the commercial
side Of all questions, makes the com
ment quoted, and it adds that "noth,
ing can be better calculated to hasten
Government control or ownership OF
the coal mines" And further, that
"Socialists Will hail such action with
Joy, as between an avaricious monopo.
y and Government ownership there will
be only one choice in the minds OF the
average voter.

that if the people are driven to tn,
