A Large laereaso In the Gold Out pat of the World. Washington, March, 24.—A' produc tion of gold throughout the world of 9150,000,000 for the calendar year 1893 is the latest estimate of the bureau of the mint, and the figures which have recently been received verify the esti mates made early in the year. The gold production of 1892, as revised in the last report of the mint bureau, was *148,861,000 The increase of *11,000,000 will be mainly furnished by the United State, South Africa and Russia. Tlie figures for the Unfted States, although not yet quite complete, in dicate an increase of *4,000,000 over those for 1892, the increase in South Africa will be about *6,000,000, in Rus sia about *500,000 and in Australia also about *500,000. There will be small gains in other countries, including China and Japan, but they may be off set by small losses elsewhere. The re turns from Russia and Austria are not yet complete and may show an even larger increase than has been estimated by Mint Director Preston. The reports which are constantly reaching the treasury department indicate the pro duction of gold is being pushed to its maximum, and that improved pro cesses of extracting the metal will be used to their utmost limit to increase the output for 1894. Gold to tlie value of *60,00b was deposited within a day or two at the Denver mint, and like deposits are likely to come at frequent intervals during the remain der of the year.
