The Stale C'-ological Surrey estimates that the total production of gold in the State from its earliest discovery till 1S9£ was I16.22S.730. Statistics from the director of the mint show a total coin ing value of $546,000 for the gold re ceived from Georgia during the four years following 1895. Of course the output nnd the coining value have in creased considerably since the above statistics were complied. There are four gold belts in Georgia according to official authority.

The Dahlonega belt has a length of about 150 mile- with a width varying from one to five miles. Irregularly located deposits are in Towns, Union, Gilmer. Fannin and Meriwether Counties. Official reports further say that the richer placer mines in Georgia have long since been exhausted though dredging operations are at present being successfully con ducted on some of the rivers in the Dahlonega belt. Deep mining has been developed as yet to only a limited ex tent in Georgia. Among some of the well-known mines In the State may be mentioned the Barlow. Finley and Hand mines in Lumpkin County, the Creigh ton mine in Cherokee County, the Loud mine and the Yonah mine in White County, nnd the Royal mine, in Haral son County. There Is considerable ac tivity in mining matters in the region of Dahlonega. The State geological department says there is every reason to believe that when properly developed and equipped for extensive operations, the gold deposits of Georgia will rank among the best dividend producers of the world.

A well known customer came in during the height of the run. and nerv- nty-four j ously asked the president how matters a half- ; stood. "All square." said he frankly. Whereupon the depositor said: "I have $40,000 in your bank, all the money I own in the world. I drew a check intending to draw it out I know you are in trouble, and I do not want to increase it. If you say it is ail right I will let the money stay, for I have great confidence In you.” He received the assurance, and went his way. ACTED AS IF HIS MENTAL FAC ULTIES WERE OUT OF GEAR "In lust for lucre lurk the darkest wiles. The base and deepest passions of the soul.” The little flurry of the past few days on Wall street suggested to some one to ask me when was "Black IYi- dny?” September 24, 1869, was the memorable date. A financial -writer says: On Thursday preceding. $324.- 524.000 in gold were sold at the gold beard on Wall street. The next day, Friday, the sale reached the high fig ure of over $500,000,000. In sev enteen minutes—from 11:50 a. m. to 12:16 p. m. gold fell from $1.60 to $1.30. In these seventeen minutes tens of thousands of men were ruined. The ruin swept through New York—up the river, up and down the Atlantic coast, over the great lakes and prai ries. carrying away fortunes like chaff before the gale. One man who stood talking with a manager of tho gold hoard, in those seventeen minutes lost fSOO.OOO. Without a word he left the room and presented a certified check In payment of the loss before 2:15 o'clock p. m. The combination was a small one. but one of the most bold nnd daring that had ever been known In Wall street up to that time. It was not the work of brokers Jn the street, I NEW YORK. March 17.—After the Clyde steamer Iroquois had docked at the foot of Clarkson street today, Father Roman, of the Benedictine Or der of Priests at San Antonio, Fla., was taken from his statoroom, where he had locked himself In. by detectives and hurried in an ambulance to St. Vincent’s Hospital. During the voy age of the steamer the priest had acted in a peculiar manner and for two days the captain had sailors watching him. Before entering the monastery his name was Rev. Kirchner. which he changed to Father Roman. He Is 62 years old and his sister. Mrs. Kate Kirchner, lives in this city. Last week the priest obtained per mission from the abbot of the mon astery to visit his sister and on Thursday he boarded the Iroquois at Jacksonville. Fla. When the boat reached Charleston, Capt. Chichester said that Father Roman left the boat. On his return he acted Ih a peculiar manner and on Friday the captain says the priest asked that some one remain with him In his stateroom. When the steamer docked today Capt. Chichester went to the priest’s stateroom and found the door locked. Though he rapped repeatedly the priest refused to open It. Detectives were then sent for and the door was forced. According to the police, the priest was kneeling in prayer. NEW VORK. NEW YORK. March IS.—The cotton market was rather nervous and irregular during today’s session, but ruled well un der the closing figures of last .night, and while steady at the close, it was at a net loss of KilO points. Sales were esti mated at 150,000 bales. The opening was steady at a decline of 2a6 points in response to lower cables than due. good weather over the week end and continued large receipts. There was considerable selling all along the line, but there was a big demand for May and the relative steadiness of that position was the feature of the session. A local spot house with New England connections was a heavy buyer of the active spring month, taking one lot of 10 000 and an other of 5.000 bales, nnd this checked the declining tendency after a net loss of about 9al0 points, with May selling a point or two over the July option. Later the support was a little less sug gestive and May sold off even with July in the afternoon, when the market ruled about 9 to 12 points net lower. The clase was only a little up from the lowest on the old crop months. Liverpool cables were quite disappointing and private ca bles said that longs were liquidating, presumably to avoid tenders. The heavy buying of May here was thought by some to be for a concentrated long interest, which is understood to bo looking for a bullish Census report on Wednesday, while others think that a good propor tion of the demand is for covering of straddles between here and Liverpool, a theory which might account for the weakness of the English market. South ern spot markets were unchanged to He. lower. Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 27,480 hales against 33,978 bales last week and 14,313 bales last year. For the (estimated) 160.000 bales against The very violence of the recovery gave warning of its unreliable nature and speculative sentiment was quite prepared for a check and a reaction today. In fact, tho London market had already antici pated this course before trading began here and sent over a materially lower range of prices than the closing here. The drop in the opehing dealings here was wider than anticipated, and had little ef fect of reviving some of the excitement which prevailed last week. But it ap peared that the wider fluctuations were largely due to the plunging operations of a professional element which had become habituated to free action by last week's experience. Effective support appeared in the mar ket and the proceedings then were much quieter and more orderly, although the renewed weakness of the later market made the lowest prices of the day. The market continued to show the normal effects following such price contortions as those of last week. That is. it showed the lack of the large demand from shorts which were squeezed into covering in Saturday’s market, and felt the effects of reselling to make profits by those who secured stocks in Thursday's slump or who had bought on Friday merely for the purpose of supporting prices and averting what threatened to become a dis aster to the market. The diminishing ac tivlty of the market indicated the dispo sition to pause after the severe experience of last week and take stock of conditions and of promise before entering again on large operations in stocks. General in formation was to the cause and sources of the unloading which produced the convulsion In the market is largely lack ing. Certain conclusions, however, find warrant-'d acceptance. The extent of tho liquidation must have gone far to cure the trouble, whatever it was. It is taken for granted also that the investment demand uncovered by the extent of the decline must have large reduced the float ins supply of stocks in the market. Not only was the absorption by private inves tors very large, hut investment institu tions are believed to have taken advan tage of the opportunity to extend their holdings of securities at an attractive rate of return. Confidence is felt also that the reduo tion of credits effected will afford avail able resources for the better digestion of some _of the new capital issues which had become a glut in the market, ob structing Its channels against the move ment of other desired issues.

Dun & Co’s, weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Spring trade is niaking a most satis factory comparison .with the volume at this time last year, except in a few sections where the weather is still un favorable, and mercantile collections improve steadily despite the high mon ey market. Leading industries have or ders covering production well into the future especially cotton factories and steel mills while -the output of pig iron within the month opened was close to the largest on record. High prices in the footware industries continued plac ing of contracts for fall shoes at New England factories, some decline In pi’ices of hides and 'leather encouraging buyers to delay ordering the finished product but most mills are still busy on spring goods. Prices are well main tained in all sections of the country arid steel industry; premiums being frequently offered for prompt delivery, but orders are seldom accepted on these terms because of teh oversold condition of mills and furnaces. In addition to special pressure for pipes and tubes and all forms of rail way equipment, the proximity of set tled spring weather means extensive demands for structural shapes.

The banks in Now York then not only kept on hand the 25 per cent in gold and currency which the law demanded, hut also a margin of $30,000,000 addi tional. The clique locked up tho money in the way mentioned in the paragraph above. Cash could not be obtained even at the enormous rate of 363 per cent a year. A largo political organization was in the ring which sent gold up to its destructive height. When he first visited Africa in 1863 Millions of th" city money wore locked up. a large hank controlled, and tho individual members, many of them wealthy, and more of them influential, j united with speculators in the terrible work of that day. The combination boasted that on the morning of Black Friday it controlled the mighty sum of $200,000,000. The above is an illus tration of the power of a clique to pro duce universal ruin.

The Rresidfcnt had heard, however, that the young man was a hustler,- that he had shown ability to get along without the aid of red tape, and possessed a high grade, of engi neering skill. So he appointed Rous seau at the head of the Bureau of Yards and Docks. Rousseau is the youngest officer in the service to bear the title of ad miral. He looks younger than he is. having a smooth, round face and bright, sprightly manners. In looking over the field for a suc cessor to Rear Admiral Endicott on tho canal commission the President thought of Rousseau. He asked Sec retary Metcalf what kind of record ! Rousseau was making. Mr.' Metcalf spoke of the youthful bureau chief in the highest terms. In the reorganization of the com mission ail of the ‘'roll-top desk com missioners” will go.

The tragic death .of Mr. E. O.

He spoke in the strongest way concerning the ex pulsion from France of Manager Mon- tagni, secretary of the papal nunciature, adding: “While under that grief my first consolation was a cablegram from Arch bishop Ireland.” The Pope also spoke of the church in the , Philippine Islands, and compared the attitude of the United States there with that of FFrance. , saying that the action of the United States was the wav Governments should settle mixed political and religious questions. His Holiness asked Mgr. O'Gorman about President Roosevelt and expressed pleasure to hear that he was satisfied with the solution of the Philippine ques tion. He also requested Mgr. O'Gorman present his regards to President Roosevelt. The bishop informed Pope Pius that Mrs. Douglas Robinson, of New York, sister of President Roosevelt, would ar rive in Rome during Holy Week, and re quested his holiness to receive her.

In an article in the latest issue of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Dr. A. J. McKelway, refers incidentally to the widespread poverty in the South after the war of 1861-5. ”We were,” says he “as ‘poor as Job’s old blue turkey- hen,’ as we used to ’say, and were proud of it. It was at a time when it was something of a disgrace to be rich, since that indicated that there had not been sufficient sacrifices for the Southern cause.” This recalls a characterization of the same period by a Southern gentleman years ago as one during which it was “genteel to be shabby.” The prosperous young Southerner of today can scarcely- understand how this could have been so. but it was so nevertheless. Only those who had been soulless speculators or self-seek ing and unpatriotic cotton planters were able to hold their own in that era of legalized robbery-, oppression, depression and almost universal finan cial ruin. The former sold foodstuffs and necessaries at famine prices: the latter, disregarding the pathetic appeal of President Davis to raise food for the army and the people went on rais ing cotton and secreting it or with the enemy’s assistance, smuggling it across the lines, and relieving the cot ton famine abroad which the Confed erate Government hoped would force recognition from European Govern ments. Thus it came about after the war that the patriots were all poor, while only- the unpatriotic, the half-hearted, or tho traitorous, held in their grip enough to be called rich in that day and time. And as most of the people of social position as well as the bone and sinew of the land were in th? ranks of the patriotic, it was “dis graceful to be rich" and “genteel to be shabby.” ANDERSON DIED BY UNKNOWN HANDS Although the coroner’s jury, which held an inquest over the body of Alex Anderson, the negro who was mortally w.ounded at a picnic at Walden Satur day. made every effort to unearth evi dence that would lead to the identity of the murderer, It still looks as if the murderer's name was sealed with tho lips of the dead man. Following is the verdict of the coro ner’s jury: “We the jurors upon our oaths, say that Alex Anderson came to his death from a gun shot, which took effect in the back just above the right Instead of throwing stones people who live in glass houses should grow violets at a dollar a bunch.
