Please " j of ,urrHi. to a good many people, who in the period of depression in the early '90 s felt that the one thing needed to preserve the business health of ths country was a larger volume of gold. Equally forcible are the figures relating to the holdings of the banks, and all such governments as carry gold reserve out side of the banks, representing practically all countries of the world. These holdings in gold were last year 3521 millions, sgainst 1915 ten years sarlier, or in 1896; the amount being held in the United States increasing in this period more than three fold. Director of the Mint Roberts, looks for an unprecedented world's Output of gold in 1 907.' Enormous bank holdings have not prevented a sharp money string ency at the turn of the year, with interest rates temporarily very high at all financial centers. The secretary of the treasury meanwhile insists that all moneye in act ual circulation in thie country have in' creased over 200 million dollars during the past 12 months, and believes that the temporary stringency has been caused by the unprecedented prosperity in this country, and reasonable prosperity every' where in the civilized world.

This is cer tainly a step in the proper direction. There is rio doubt but what many valuable min ing properties in Oregon and Idaho are un developed today from the lack of money, wh'sh would be forthcoming wre it not from the fact that so many investments have been made upon what was purported to be valuable prospects that upon invest igation proved to be only a scheme to ex tract money from honest investors.
