OF the quantity In existence can b
made probably only for gold and all.
Yer. Even for these two metals sat.

safe to a. me that became OF the
few sources and the primitive mining
method the quantity in treasures and
circulation at that time was but a
small fraction Of the quantity since
produced.
Since Columbus landed in Amer
lea, according to statistics assembled
by the director OF the mint, the world
production of gold through 1918
amounted to more than three-quarters
OF a billion Troy ounces. The esti.
mated amount is the equivalent Of
2s.44S.s2 tons of the precious metal.
occupying 49,100.S5 cubuc feet and
worth more than $17.75O.0O0. 900.
This tremendous volume OF gold
must be measured by q bigger unit
than the gold dollar If its magnitude:
is to be appreciated. II gold were
cast In gigantic dollars one foot
thick and having a. diameter of ap-
proximately eighteen feet nine. inches
each would weigh 1855 tons and
would be worth $10O,OOO.OO The
world gold production since 1892
would mage lit such dollars and
leave more than half enough for an
other. If stacked, therefore, these
gargantuan coins would form q tower
eighteen feet nine inches In diameter
and more than lit feet high. Since
1905 the average annual world pro-
duction would have added about four
and a half Of these dollars to the
stack each year, but in 1918 and 1919.
the lates two years for which stats
tics are complete, the output would
have made less than four of the $780,
100000 pieces each year.
"If the world production OF gold
since 1892 were made into a curb six
inches high and six inches thick It
would extend for more than thirty.
seven miles, practically the distance
between Wash tngton and Baltimore.
If spread into a paving surface half
an inch thick the same gold would
pave an automobile roadway twenty
feet wide and slightly over eleven
miles long. "' '''' 'r'
mot all the gold produced since the
discovery of America is available.
Much has been used, destroyed or lost
and much in the form of jewelry or
plate is out OF circulation and not in
treasures. The best available esti-,
mate Of gold in circulation and In
treasures places the amount at So
OoO,OO0,O00, or enough to make ninety
of the foot thick 'dollars.' Just about
a third Of this world treasure Is now
in the United States and this is not
