Statements That Estimates of Gold and Silver Production Are Incorrect Are Refuted —_— The annual report of the Director of the United States Mint as to the esti- mated production of gold and silver of the country for the calendar year 1903 has given rise to some comment in cer- tain quarters owing to an error that appeared in the figures. The error is due to the telegFaphic reports sent out and, in speaking of the matter last evening, Superintendent Frank A. Leach of the San Francisco | Mint said: A few days ago I noticed in The Call an ar- ticle in reference to & critleism that had ap- peared in other publications, relating to the ac- curacy of the preliminary estimate of the Director of the Mint of the gold and silver production of the United States for the calen- r 1903. The accuracy of Director Rob- erts’” figures was questioned by reason of the apparent mistake in_the production of gold accredited to South Dakota, which was given in the table of figures as being about one- third of what was anticipated and what it really was. Because of this error the accuracy of all the other returns was questioned, and as further evidence that the figures were un- reliable, the critic called attention to the fact that the units were given In precise amounts. In justice to Director Roberts I wish to cali attention to the original estimate, wherein South Dekota was credited ivith $6,889,302 { value of gold, whereas the amount given in, | the table sent out by the Assoclated Press was $4,000,000 less., The Assoclated Press, I am | informed, sent out a_correction of its error a few days later, but I have no recollection of seeing the correction mentioned In any publica- tion on_the Pacific Coast. If the critic taken the trouble to foof up the column as published the discrepancy of $4,000,000 would have been apparent 1t has been the custom of the Director of the Mint for several vears to publish for the benefit of the public a preliminary estimate iat the close of the calendar vear of the pro- | Guction of gold and silver in the United States, and such fgures have always been given out s a preliminary estimate. The re- port of the production of precious metals in | the United States is not published or the cor- | rect figures given to the public until some ! months efterward, but experience has shown | that when the officlal statement is made pub- lic the figures very closely agree with those obtained {n making up the prelfminary esti- mate. Superintendent Leach also explained | the system used in the mints by which data is furnished the director for use in making up his annual report. He said the entire gold product of the country finds its. way into the mints and assay offices of the United States | and its source is carefully noted. | *“The reports of the mints vary but little Yrom the prpliminary estimate of | Director Roberts,” said Superintendent | Leich, “and the fact that the final re- | port agrees so closely with the prelim- | inary estimate makes it certain that the reports of the Director of the Mint are as accurate as it is possible to | make them.” ————— ALASKA COMPANY MUST He was as well groomed as Colonel Martin Brady and he had a bundle of extuses for the lodgers that would | have stumbled a hurdle jumper. The | | Judge immediately ordered him into cystody “with his right hand, while wits his left he assessed a fine of $20, or twenty days, on the prisoners. When | the landlord appears to-day there will | be something coming in his &rection that cannot be sidestesped. PR Louis Herman, a Mission district boy, | came before Jadge Cabanigs yesterday | {on the charge of carrying concealed | | weapons. “He appears honest and if ! | his words be true there is really noth- | ing to the charge.

The United ‘States Circuit Court of Appeals decided yesterday that the es- tate of W. D. Baldwin should receive from the Alaska Commercial Company $5000 and costs for damages for the loss of Baldwin's life. Baldwin was one of five mwn who were drowned near Yu- kutat Bay, Alaska, when the schooner Dora B was wrecked. During the trial the fact was devel- oped that the defendant contracted to tow the Dora B from St. Michael to Lituaia Bay with the defendant's | steamer Bertha, and that when the tow line parted the defendant aban- doned the schooner to her fate. The | hiil of the Dora was found on the beach several days later, the five mem- bers of her crew that remained on board having been drowned. It is expected that the heirs of the four remaining members of the crew will institute suits for damages agaist the company, they having been await- ing the outcome of this case. —_———— Consents to Transfer School Lot. The Board of Education yesterday notified the Board of Supervisors that it will consent to the transfer of a school lot on Kentucky street, near | Twentieth, to the Police Department, to be used as a site for the Potrero police station. ISTATE LIBRARIES MEET | WITH UNUSUAL SUCCESS Cahforma Association Does Much to Promote In-| terest of Plan for Free Education—Membership | piay makes Jack a duil boy,’ Is Rapidly Increasing and Outlook Is Bright The Library Association of California is the only body in this State organized for the special purpose of fostering general interest in public libraries and 6f promcting their welfare. Its mem- bership is composed of librarians, library trustees and others who are en- gaged in allied educational work. This association is now endeavoring to en- large its membership and its useful- ness. From time to time it will publish bul- letins of professional value and also some of the papers read at the associa- tion meetings, and through its advisory committee will furnish suggestions and advice to new libraries and others needing assistance. Joy Lichtenstein, assistant librarian of the San Francis- co Public Library, is the president of the association and Margaret A. Schmidt, librarian of the North Beach Branch Library, is its secretary. Such helpfulness in the organization and management of the small libraries of the State is greatly needed. A score of similar organizations in different States of the Union are doing excellent work tn raising the ideals of the public library system. Mill Valley has .just finished a new room in the schoolhouse for a school library and reading-room. The library wiil be well supplied with' reference works. The question arises, Why should not Mill Valley organize and maintain a free public library under the provisions of the general library law of the State? Mill Valley has an assessed valuation of three-quarters of a million dollars, is not burdened with oppressive debt and is rapidly growing. Nearly every public library in the State has grown from humble begin- nings. In San Juan, San Benito Coun- ty, a little library_ started in 1896 has gradually acquired 2000 volumes. Its history is like that of other libraries, of progress made under discourage- ment and many difficulties. The so- clety which supports the Itbrary and reading room is hopeful of better days for the institution. The City Trustees of San Mateo have recently decided to turn over the.large hall belonging to the city to the board of library trustees for library purposes, the present library quarters being cramped and generally undesirable. It will, however, be necessary to raise $2000 by popular subscription for the library equipment for the hall. San Luis Obispo has-secured a site for its new Carnegie library building, the lot fronting 74 feet on Monterey “‘reet and 114 feet on Broad street, and e library board now invites competi- tive plans for the building. The design calls for a one-story bullding with basement. The main floor is to have a general reading room, librarian's room to be used also by the trustees and a stack room which will accommodate 12,000 volumes. In the basement are to be a janitor's room, rooms for storage, fuel and bicycles, besides a dumb waiter to the main floor. The total cost must not exceed $3000, the gift be- ing $10,000. Andrew Carnegie has not been able till of late to bestow any gifts for library buildings upon the cities of Oregon. The State of Oregon had no general library law permitting suf- ficient taxation for public library pur- poses until a few months aga, and therefore not a city in the State could meet Mr. Carnegie’'s requirements for the annual maintenance of a library. The new legislation permits every city, unless hampered by charter restric- tions, to appropriate any amount for library support which the city au- thorities desire. Eugene, the seat of the State University, is one of the first places in Oregon to recelve an offer from Mr. Carnegie of a gift of $10,000. The proposition is now before the City Council. The second report of Portland, Or., free library was made January 20. It shows a marked growth in the useful- ness of the library. The total circula- tion of books for the year was 146,000. Owing to the limitation in the new charter of Portland allowing but one- fifth of a mill on the dollar tax on city property for library uses it has been necessary for the library to avail itself of the new law allowing a county tax for library support.

All that she got out of the investment was $1 20. Mrs. Frances E. Graham testified | that she invested $80 and sot back $8 07 L only. It was shown further that the com- pany's total deposits at the Germania Trust Company were $7074 61, and at the First National Bank $740, all of which had been withdrawn except $3 20 in the Germania Trust Company. i It was shown that the company nev- er had a cent on deposit with the West- ern National Bank, although that bank was named in the prospectus as one of the depositories. ———— Says Arbitrator Was Unfair.
