LESS GOLD IS MINED
$96,233,528 Was the Total Output in 1 1911. Sliver Production for Year Is 57,796,117 Ounces, It Is Announced in Preliminary Estimate by 'Director Roberts of the Mint. Washington.—The gold production of the United States during 1911 was was 196,233,528 And the silver production 57,796,117 ounces, according to a preliminary estimate Issued by George E. Roberts, director of the mint. This is a reduction in gold of about >45,000 and in silver of about 660,000 ounces as compared with the returns for 1910. Among the states and territories the principal gold producers were: Cali fornia, with >30,310,987; Colorado, with >19,153,860; Nevada, with >18,968,578; Alaska, with >16,002,976; South Dakota, with >7,430,367; Utah, with >4,769,747; Montana, with >3,169,840; Arizona, with >2,954,790, and Idaho with >1,169,261. In the order named, Utah, Montana, Nevada, Colorado and Idaho led as silver producers. At the average price for the year the total silver product was worth >30,854,500. The net amount of gold and silver used in the industrial arts was ap. proximately >34,000,000 gold and 34,000,000 ounces of silver. The coinage of the mints was: Gold, >56,176,822; silver, >6,457,301; nickel and copper, >3,156,726. Total, >65,790,850. The ner gain In the country’s st-ck of gold coin, including bullion in the treasury during the year was close to $100,000,000. The director’s report gives the final figures for the production of gold In the world In 1910 at The director also makes a preliminary estimate upon the world’s production in 1911 of >466,700,000, or a gain of about >12,000,000. The Transvaal increased its output by about >14,000,000 and other African fields gained >2,000,000.
Insanity on the Increase
Population of County Has Enlarged 11 Per Cent, and Cases of Insanity is 25 Per Cent. Washington.—lnsanity in the United States is increasing twice as fast as the population, according to figures gathered by the federal government in a special inquiry through the census bureau. *■ The figures show that while the population of the country grew 11 per cent, in the five years from 1904 to 1928, the population in asylutns for the insane rose about 25 per cent. As to the number of cases of Insanity not resulting in commitments to hospitals, the census bureau has no data. “Our figures,” says Dlrecfor Durand, “afford a striking indication of the prevalence of insanity, if not an exact measure. It is somewhat startling to reflect that the 187,454 patients confined in hospitals for the insane make up a population larger than Columbus, O.” The state which; in proportion to its population, had the largest number of Insane reported in institutions on January 1, 1910. was Massachusetts with '344.6 per 100,000 population. New York, however, had almost the same proportion, namely 343.1 per 100,000 population. ’ e ' , The number of insane in institutions in Missouri is 6,170. More than 8,500 persons were committe<rto asylums in New York state last year, 4,517 in Pennsylvania, 4,236 in Massachusetts, 4,085 in Illinois and 3,887 in Ohio. > 0 Arkansas had fewer insane commit-
PERSIANS FIGHTING THE RUSSIANS
..On the other hand, Australia showed a continuance of the decline Which has been persistent since 1903, the loss in 1911 being about $4,000,000. The production of North America was about the same as in 1910. These three grand geographic divisions produced nearly $400,000,000 and the gains and losses in other producing countries probably about offset each other. Australasia has fallen from $89,210,100 in 1903 to $62,000,000. Although gold production continues to increase, the Increase was at a diminishing rate and the director expresses the opinion that there is nothing in the present outlook to indicate -a repetition of the phenomenal gains that were made between 1890 and 1899 and between 1901 and 1908. They were the result of the discovery of the cyanide process and of the development of the wonderful Transvaal field. The only country in the world that is showing notable gains at this time is Africa, and the Transvaal field is nearing its maximum. 1
Woman to Be an Engineer

Spokane, Wash. —Randle Jeldness of this city, who was graduated recently from an eastern college for women, has decided to become a mining engineer under the tutelage of her father, Olaus Jeldness, known as a successful operator in the foremost camps of Colorado, Nevada, Washington and British Columbia. , Miss Jeldness was initiated in the dry ore district, north of Bear Dake, in the Canadian province, where, with her father, she ascended a mountain rising 8,500 feet above sea level, making the trip with a pack over a trail through the heavy timber.

BELL BUZZARD BACK AGAIN
Establishes a Winter Home on Roof of “Haunted House”—Also Visited Flocks of Chickens. Dover, Del.—The "bell buzzard,” which has been seen and heard In different localities in Kent county for the past eight or ten years, is now in Dover, making its resting place on the roof and chimney of the old Cowgill house, or “Haunted House.” It can be seen every day. and the jingling of the bell on its neck attracts the attention of passers-by. Evidently driven to town by the extreme cold weather and snow, buzzards are frequently seen in the back yards of the resiliences. But a few days ago a buzzard landed among a flock of chickens at the home of L. Schablnger here, and remained with the chickens day and night until forced to fly away by one of the family.

He started to work in a cotton mill .77 years ago, when a boy of eight years, for 75 cents a week and never attended school until he was seventeen; then only for a year and a half. So fast did he learn, however, that at the age of nineteen he was a teacher in the district school of Exeter, Mass., his native town. During the Civil war the Robert Knight mills were among the very few that continually kept going, and his profits were large.
