Directo~ of the Mint Roberts has pre- pared « statement showing the pro- duction of the precious metals for the calendar year of 1900. It shows that the production of gold in the world that year was 12,457,287 ounces of the value of $257,514,700, a loss in value of $49,070,200 from 1899. The loss was mainly in the Transvaal field and due to the war. The silver output of the world amounted to 178,796,796 fine ounces, the largest ever. known. The United States again leads all other producers with a slight excess over Mexico.
