COST OF GETTING GOLD.
It costs ninety cents to produce
every dollar's wortb of gold mined
in California last year. To be pre
cise in figures, the value of the ore
mined was $13,969,529 and the cost
of getting it $12,506,555.
This statement is quoted from an
article in the New York Mail and
Express by a writer who evidently
knew what he was writing about.
And he produced other statistics
corroborative of this paper's claim
that gold mining is not all profit. It
cost f 3.05 m Alabama and $5.56 in
Wyoming to produce a dollar of
bullion from the mines. In Colo
rado the total mined was $23,000,000
in round numbers at a cost of $13,
500,000, so that it cost fifty cents
there to mine a dollar of bullion. In
Montana the cost was forty-five
cents. In 1890 the total gold and
silver mined in this country was
$99,283,752, and the capital invested
was $486,323,338, or $4.90 of capi
tal for every dollar of bullion pro
duced. Putting it in another way,
there was only twenty cents of bull
ion produced for every dollar of
capital. The totai expenditures in
mining this sum was $63,451,136.
The amount of expense per dollar of
bullion gold and silver was 64 cents.
More than 3000 mines produced less
than $10,000 each. Only twenty
eight mines of the 6000 produced
over a half a million each; fewer
than fifty produced between $250,
000 and $500,000. It is estimated
that 1000 non-profit-producing mines
were worked last year, and that there
were 1266 idle or abandoned, Cali
fornia has now first place in gold
production, but Colorado is close
behind, and the two produce an ag
gregate of $27,000,000 of gold per
year, California being about $1,000,
000 ahead of Colorado. The total
production now in this country aver
ages about $35,000,000 a year, al
though last year the production was
$46,610,000.
There is 2;old in Alaska and
British Columbia untold billions of
it. But when the quantity taken out
is compared with the cost of getting
it out, the showing will carry with it
more significance than attends the
bare statement of the output.
The London Spectator says that
the. American politicians have in
sulted England. That if a man in
sults another once, he may ignore it,
but the second time the only thing
to do is to "knock him down." It
then gravely goes on toj intimate
that if we "do it again," we will "get
knocked doFii." Of course that
may be possible, but England must
remember that she has attempted the
knocking down plan twice, with re
sults not satisfactory ta herself. She
should remember, also, that in all
her wars she has never yet, single
handed, whipped a civilized nation.
England has hit this country some
pretty severe blows, and can and will
continue to do so, but she never
strikes above the pockets.
The Oregonian thinks the con
gressional delegation made a mistake
in not making their recommenda
tion's with regard to the federal ap
pointments in this state before they
left Washington. This may possibly
be true, but whether it is or not, at
least by coming heme the delegation
had one advantage, and th-t is that
it was enabled to consult with the
Republican party through its leaders,
nearly every prominent Republican
in the state having called upon them.
They must have a pretty good idea
of whom the leaders of the party, at
least, desire to see get the offices.
There was no mistake about this.
It is Geer versus Patterson in the
race for the collector of customs ap
pointment in Portland, with the tall
agriculturist in the lead. At Salem
the fight has taken the shape of a
petition in favor of Mr. Geer's ap
pointment, and according to the re
turns, out of 126 business men to
whom the petition was presented,
105 signed it, while of the twenty
one refusing, only four favored Pat
terson. The ramifications of a
political squabble are as intricate
and uncertain as quartz stringers in
trap-rock. From present indica
tions Mr. Geer will get into the offi
cial harness.
The mining situation in the East
gives no sign of change, other .than
the offer on the part of the operators
to concede part of the miners' de
mands. The latter, however, refuse
to consider anything less than a 69-cent-a-ton
rate. This the operators
will not concede, and so the fight
goes meriily on.
Silver is going down and lead is
going up, being now higher than for
several years. -Wonder if those
blasted gold bugs are not booming
lead just as a slam at silver ? It
may be that the price of lead has
beea affected by Japan's abnormal
appstite in desiring to swallow the
Hawaiian islands and the Nicaragua
canal;

Remarkable Care of Chrome Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that 1
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankfnl
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
