LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CtTY, moirr•NA. THE WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCT. The United States Takes Second Place aim a Gold Country, being Distanced by Australasia. A gold production throughout the world in excess of $200,000,000 is roger ded as assured for the present ‘•alerular year. Representations have reached the mint bureau from the producing districts of the United itat, A ustralia and South Africa which indicate that unless the rate of production is suddenly checked it will be easy to raise the product above $200,000,000. Returns from South Africa indicate the Witwatersrandt region alone is now producing gold at the rate of about \4 per month, or $48,000,000 per year. This was the average for May, which showed a production of 197,000 fine ounces. Earlier months of the year would pull down this average slightly, but the tendency has been in favor of a progression each month, so that the re- mainder of the year is counted upon to carry the total to $48,00P,000. Other dis- tricts of Africa are counted upon to sup- ply the deficiency even if the W itwaters- randt fails to reach the figure unwed. Africa's product in 1894 was valued at $40,246,000. Australia's product is also climbing upwards and promises to largely exceed the $41,760,000 attained in 1894. The race is getting to be hot between these two countries and the United States for the highest record for the year. Australia was the winner in 1894, with Africa a close eeoond and the United States third. Africa seems likely to take the lead this year, with Australia and the United States fighting for seoond place. Colorado people are promising to raise their product from $9,491,514 in 1891 to a round $17,000,000. Cripple Creek region, which has been averaging only $300,000 to $400,000 per month, has suddenly climbed to $500,000 per month, indicating a gain of about $1,500,000 for the year. Leadville district is also show- ing an increase, and old mines are being worked with improved machinery all over the state. Hydraulic mining is now allowed under certain restrictions in California, and is counted on to increase the product of that state. Facts regard- ing the product of Mexico indicate a seeming increase because of the appar- ent suppression of the actual production of previous years under the influence of the export duty on the precious metals. Even the distant Territory of Alaska is promising a bigger product than in 1894, and tests are being made in South America which are likely to increase the gold output of those unexplored coun- tries. A production of $200,000,000 in the single year will equal the aggregate product of both gold and silver as re- cently as 1885, and will be twice the av- erage gold production during the years from 1881 to 1885. • BROKIK LARIAT Montana', old Warhorse Breaks His Hob- bles cool gee. on : t.. t;raze In New l'iast uteri : Sanders has explained it. He says he wantaa \cosmopolitan currency.\ The awful suspicion had taken possession of the public mind that he desired an am- phibious, heterogenoue and at the same time contiguous currency. The colonel has ceased to be dubious; he has grown positive about hie wants. In the days when the colonel bossed the job of hang- ing a man who was suspected of steal- ing a sack of grub, silver was good enough to pay the piper; the man wbo perpetrated the precinct 34 outrage upon the electors of Montana and helped steal a seat in thé senate for Sanders did not demand a cosmopolitan currency. They took their pay in gratitude and shortly afterwards went out of business. Colonel Sanders hu been guilty of a good many mean jobs since he came to this part of the World and the records show that Montana people have not been sparing of their applause when he suc- ceeded. The agony of the present dia- oovery that he is a goldbug and is out doing battle with the enemies of the people of this state is, in a measure, amusing in the light of the fact that Sanders is notoriously tricky, the willing worker with the bond buyer, the active agent of the mineral land grabbers. Montana made Sanders dangerous be- cause she made him prominent; she placed in his treacherous hands the club with which he seeks to beat out her industrial life. Sanders may be an ingrate but he ia no fool. It doesn't take him long to de - decide between the strong and the weak; he will give the under dog a kick every time; for a consideration. In the matter of meanness he is an aristocrat; it is not surprising to find him declaring for an aristocracy in the currency. Of course he knows that all this talk allout \honest money\ by the goldbuge is a dishonest dodge, and the \campaign of educatiqi\ which he is helping Wall street to make is an organized system of falsehood and theft. Sanders knows that silver is good money, honest money, the money of the people. He knows the story which the goldbugs have put tnto his mouth about a cosmopolitan currency is, to use his own elegant and expressive language \rot.\ The ory that the silver dollar is a fifty-oent dollar is a lie -web and woof. Gold is not the money of the world uni venial. It is &lame, unknown to two thirds of the human race. Gold is the money of the usurer and of the usurer alone. To make gold the only money of ultimate payment 18 to eurilave the world to those who own the gold. And this is the one effective way to destroy the freedom, civilization and progress of mankind. Sanders is a mean mall; he souks tu bell his neighbor into slavery. Seeders is no good; the men of Montana should have found that out many ears ago.- New Northwest. C0F PER AND LEAD FOR 1804 Official Review by the C. Geological Surir) of the Industry for the Year. The review of copper and copper min- ing for the year 1894, made by the United States geological survey, bitt-; been com- pleted. It says that copper mining suf- fered from the general depression of the year. Still, consumption was in advance of 1893. On the whole, copper mining resisted the tension better than the other metal trades. The exports were less than 1893, and were almost entirely of the refined metal. The production of copper for 1804 was 158,120 tons. A little over half of this came from Mon- tana, and two-thirds of the remainder from the Lake Superior mines. Other sources of supply included Arizona, 44,- 500,000 pounds; Colorado, 6,500,000 lbs.; southern states, 2,400,000 pounds; Utah, 1,100,000 pounds. The available copper supply in 1894 is placed at 195,000,000 pounds, not includ- ing stocks from previous years. The ex- ports from the United Staten for 1894 were 173,000,000 pounds, valued at over $16,000,000. The production of spelter during the year was, in round numbers, 75,000 tons, derived from the following states: Illi- nois, 29,000 short tone; Kansas, 26,000 short tons; Missouri, 12,000 Lona; west- ern states, 7,000 short tons; southern states, 1,000 short tons. In discussing the lead mining industry for 1894, the geological survey says that the year was one of exceptionally low prices. Mining declined and it was nec- essary to draw on foreign sources to sup- ply the deficiency. The production of refined lead in the United States has grown from 1,500 short tons in 1825, to 219,000 in 1894. The product ot 1893 was the largest on record, amounting to 229,- 000 short tons., The following show by states the domestic products: Colorado, 50,600 tons; Utah, 23,200 tons; Montana, 9,600 tona. The total domestic production is put at 132,700 tone. The consumption of lead is placed at 102,371 tons. Prices (hiring the year ranged from $3.07 to $2.03 per 100 pounds. First Bull Fight In the United states. Montana is first in many things and in the matter of bull fights is certainly away ahead, says Geo. F. Cope in the In- dependent. In 1864 a man named John Creighton, now a prominent Omaha banker, drove a lot of Mexican cattle from Texas to Virginia City. He had a number of \greasers\ along to take care of the stock, and theme fellows, with Creighton, arranged for a big bull fight. A large corral that was being built in the town was hired for the occasion. It wie finished and • kind of platform builtin around it. Then two ferocious looking Texas hullo were selected, and the fight arranged for Sunday. \Was it well attended, did you ask'? Well I should say it was. There were thousand/4ot miners in Alder gulch then, and anything so novel as a bull fight was hailed with delight by them. Why, it attracted moro attention than a hang- ing it was decidedly more uncommon than such an event then, you know. Well, when the hour arrivedstlie corral was fairly crowded with minere, every one of whom had paid $2.50 in gold dust to see the performanoe. The bulls were turned into the enclosure. A mounted Mexican and another on foot then en- tered the ooteral and the battle began. It au a tierce tight for a time as the ex- cited bulle, goaded on by the Mexicans, would charge at the men and make des- perate attempts to gore them. Of course, it ended in due time with two dead bulls. \Why Cripple Creek is 31 years be- hind the times.\ , The Spotted Horse Mine. The once famous Spotted Home mine, will not again be opened up as previous- ly reported. Mr McAdow, who at one time operated the property most sun- oessfully, ha\ been at the mine for never - al weeks past doing some prospecting, but has given it up and returned to hie home in the East. It seems he found the mine in much worse condition than he expected and came to the conclusion that it would coat him too much to long- er operate the property. This, and his advanced age lead him to abandon it, and as the time for redeeming the prop- erty will expire October 2 -th, it will no doubt pass into other hands at that time. It seems too bad that a once great mine should longer remain idle, - - - and it is to be hoped that its new own• ers will open it tip and place it again in the front rank of the great gold produc- ers of the state Babies have teen described as coupons attached to the boride of matrimony, but DO paper gives a prize tor collecting them.
