How do I know," continued Mr. Lawton, "that the sad ending of the Shllds family was not caused by them finding a portion of this hidden treasure containing more or less of the silver originally In tlie thirty pieces paid to Judas? How do I know that some of this that I have resurrected doe not contain more of It? Late figures from Washington show that the United States In 1922 produced 56,240,000 ounces, or about 26 per cent of the silver output of the mines of the world. But In 1800 onr share of the world's production waa only 110,010 ounces, or n fraction of 1 per cent. So that previous to 1800 practically all our silver money was coined from silver brought from other countries.
