It would be an immense benefit to all mankind if the stores of the yellow metal now-helby Individuals in India could be made available for general use. Ever since the dawn of history that country has been gathering gold and hiding if away. Pliny, who died In 79 A. D., complained that India drew from the great Roman empire not less than $2,700,000 in gold and silver yearly. A Frenchman named Bernier in 1699, writing a report to his government from Delhi, said that the gold and silver of the "world, after circulating for some time, finally flow to India, as into an abyss from which there is no return. It was estimated by Dr. Soet-be- er that during the half century previous to 1885 India hoarded $1,500,000,-00- 0 of silver and gold nearly one-thiof the total amount of coinage In cir, culation in the world. Treasures of almost incalculable value are possessed by many Indian princes. Recently the Maharajah of Burdwan died, and the stock of gold and silver left by him was so large that no member of the family could make an accurate estimate of It. A report made to the British government by a secret agent stated that on the estate of the defunct potentate were a number of treasure houses, one of them containing three rooms. The largest of these three feet long and was rooms was forty-eigfilled with ornaments of gold and silver, plates and cups, washing bowls, jugs, etc. all of precious metals! The other two rooms were full of bags and boxes of gold mohurs and silver rupees. The doors of this and other treasure houses had been bricked up for nobody knows how long. According to a custom of the Burdwan Raj family, all these valuables were in the custody of the Maharajahs wife, the vaults being attached to her apartments, but none of them was allowed to be opened save in the presence of the master.

Meanwhile, thanks to newly discovSpioes Pure and Ground Daily. ered fields and improved methods of mining, the gold production of the world is steadily growing, and will progressively increase for some years to come. The yield for 1895 has been the greatest in history, probably exceeding $20,000,000. The United States alone produced about $50,000,000 of this total, an increase of $11,000,000 over 1894. 9 It-iestimated that the worlds annual consumption of gold in the arts, DESERET, UTAH, chiefly in the manufacture of jewelry, is (One mile from Oasis Station.) . somewhere between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000.
