DIRECTOR Or THE MINTS CHARGED V/ITH INCORRECT ESTIMATES. tbt* -.itput of Silver and l*n ilcrvaluiu; That < i Gold -Contrary to Mr. Preston’s Statement, There Is Great Demand For Silver. The director of the mints has estab lished a reputation for undervaluing the gold output of Americtm mines aud overvaluing the output of silver from the same source. In dealing with the latter meta! lie always quotes coinage value, forgetting that the government’s ft. 29 per ounce no longer interests the miner or smelter, because it is not the measure cf the silver product. The latter i3 fixed by a coterie of London brokers, who last year supplied Great Britain with 3,800,456 ounces of stand ard silver, the coinage y value of which was £l,O-15,125. It cost the British gov ernment £479,086, so that a handsome seigniorage was realized in supplying the wants cf the people at home and in the colonies, We refer to this British coinage of silver to correct an error in Mr. Preston’s interview of a recent date, iu which ho declared that there was “no demand for silver anywhere, not even for subsidiary coinage. ’’ The annual report of the deputy mus ter of the British government corrects this impression, it shows the purchases of bar silver we have noted herein and also the coinage of 25,970,839 pieces on British account, 2,160,000 pieces for use in Canada, 10,759,000 for lion:: koug. 815,000 for N wfouudlaiid and 3,935,540 pieces for the Straits Settle ments. There is a large difference be tween this total of 49,021,433 pieces cf subsidiary coin aud ’‘uodemuud at all," and it represents iu a measure tlie amount of accuracy which the director of the mints—in his efforts to please the gold element —brings to the service of his estimates. With the above in view we can safely return to the gold output of ISO 7, as guessed at by Director Preston. In round numbers ho allows for an in crease of §7,000,000 in the United States over his own totals for 1890, which were approximately as follows: Alaska $2,055,000 Arizona. 2,00-I,At California 18,285,90s Colorado 11,911,0(11) Idaho 2,155,800 Montana 4 .::•■), 1:1 Nevada 2,468,800 Oregon 1,451,C0G Louth Dakota 4,009,10!] Utah l,B3!’,!'!Xj Other states and territories bring the total forward to $03,088,000. In this \ table for 1593 Colorado is short at least 11 ,500,000, while California bewails an arbitrary reduction of nearly $2,000,- 000, the mint statistician at San Fran oisco, with 25 years of experience, ing one of the complainants. But if, as the director states, out probable gold increase for 1897 is only f7,000,000, bow does the chief officer of themiut propose to anuortiou it? Ac- cordiug tfi too reports tffus iar received —aud half the year is now over—the claims of the respective states will stand as follows in tbo item of total gold output for tho year: Colorado ?24,000,001 California 18.000,0n.

Min ’ luUu'-nr.ins tho Body. Au account was recently lead at a meeting of the American Neurological association which demonstrates very forcibly the power of the mind over tiio body. A young woman of good stand ing after reading a clinical history oi cases of abdominal tumor became, con vinced that she was a lii-tim of Unit disease. She suffered acutely, and bet friends shared her fears. The doctor l * believed tho case one of hysteria, aud, all other methods for relief having failed, consented to perform a dangerous operation for the removal of the tumor. Tho girl was dieted for several days, her room stripped of wall paper and car pet and made to.resemble a hospital in barrenness. Contrary to custom, knives and surgeons’ paraphernalia were freely exhibited. Physicians aud nurses stood around tho operating table, uud tlie pa tientwas carefully etherized. An in cision, barely skin deep, was made, and the girl carefully stitched up in elabor ate dressings and bandages. When slm was allowed to recover consciousness, she was too weak to raise her hand. She felt the irritation of the wound and was thankful to find herself alive. Iu two weeks she was completely cured. — Chicago Time.s-Herald. Newport’s Fad a Fortune Teller. Newport inis a nsw fad.
