(Jol.l Output In Oregon'.
No accurate data can Ixt had
with which to solve the ouestion us
to the annual gold output of the
state of Oregon. From the Ust
data obtainable, however, it nii-
roximates 2,000,000. The dilli
ulty in reaching a conclusion
arises from the fact that the gold is
shipped out to different parts of
the country, and by dillerent chan
nels. Much of it gies by express
and some by mail. No data is to
tie had from which to ascertain the I
amount shipped through the post-
mice. Again, much of the gold
iroduct of the state goes to the
he I by .Smelting Company, at Sun
raneiseo, whence it ultimately
tenches the mint and is credited to
California. About $1,000,000 is
annually produced in Southern Or
