dictate that big mining is surprisingly
modern and that the great output OF
other minerals has been pioneered by
gold. Until the last few years gold
outputs have shown parallelism with
those of coal, iron and copper; with
the growth Of railways and the de.

that gold output has about reached its
zenith, and is now giving indications
of future decline, as the returns OF

The Output in
Various Countries

"The relative production of gold
from all countries is given in percent
ages for the prewar year 1918, and on
war basis the countries can be clas-
sihed as Allies, Central Powers and
neutrals, with percentages as follows:
Allies, 91.3 per cent; Central Powers,
0.6 per cent; neutrals, 81 per cent. Of
the Allies, it is seen that Great Britain,
with her colonies and dependencies,
produced 62.6 per cent; the United
States, 1913 per cent, and Russia, 5s
per cent. The principal gold producers
of the world rank in order thus: Trans
vaal, United States, Australia, Russia,
Canada and Rhodesia. Australias gold
output from 1851 to 1908 amounted to
approximately $2,060,000, 900. The out
put In 1903 was about $87,0000OO, and
since then production has decreased
gradually, until in 1915 it amounted to
only about s89,00O,00O, or as per cent
of the production in 1903. There is at
present no indication of any large in
crease of output in the future. The
Canadian gold output was very small in
1891, but mounted rapidly until 1900,
when the Yukon placer workings
seemed to have reached their maxi
mum; in that year the Canadian fields
produced $2S,000,0O0. Since 1900 there
has been fuctuating downward ten

Sammies Enter Field at Penn Relay
in Athletic Classic.
The great war left it's indelible mark
on the Penn relay, Americas greatest
amateur athletic classic, when five
distinctive army stunts were added to
the events which have constituted the
meets since its inception.
New events added were the rescue
race, the bayonet charge race, wall
scaling, squad drill and bugle comps-
tition.
The rescue race is distinctively q
Red Cross or medical corps stunt The
runner must carry another man on
his shoulder. The form used Is that
used by mon in service to rescue
wounded mon from areas under fire.
The bayonet charge race combines
both speed and accuracy, for the run
ners must bayonet dummies set up
at the end of the course.
The Penn relays this year uncov-
cred at least two phenomenal athletes,
Shea, the great Michigan middle dis
tance runner, who carried his team
mates to victory In two-mile relays,
one for tho college championship OF
America, running the last quarter in
almost record time, and William Bart
ellis, Pennsylvania freshman, the PEN
tathlon winner.
1t was the first time in the history
of the Penn relay that freshman was
able to win from a field comprising
the best college men Of the country.
To be sure the field this year was not
up to the standards of other years,
when the all-around college cham
pionship was won by men like Jim
Thorpe and Howard Berry, but 1t
was a great achievement for Bartells

Bartells won the javelin hurl and

into the large lot across from tho
Central railroad station he went.
Back and forth across the lot he sped
with the boys after him. Business
stopped and followed the mad stam-
pede. The boys evidently thought It

they would sneak up close behind the
dig and then dive for him, sliding
