WashingtonNov, 26. A report is
sued by the geological survey says
that the production of gold in the
United States during 1904 amounted
to 3,910,729 fine ounces, valued at $80,
835, 648. This represents an increase
of $8,243,984 over the production of
1903. The largest previous autput, in
1902, amounted to $80,000,000.
Silver Lags Behind
, The production of silver in 1904
amounted to 55,999,861 fine ounces,
valued at $32,035,378. This represents
an increase of 1,699,864 ounces over
the production of 1903 and an increase
in value of $2,713,378. The record
. output of silver in 1892, amounting to
63,500,000 fine ounces, the report says,
has not been reached in late years,
nor has the commercial value attained
the figures, of that year, which
amounted. to $32,101,000,
The principal sources of the increase
in the gold production compared with
that of 1903, the report says, are easily
traceable. Colorado added nearly
$2,000,600 to its production of 1903,
most of this amount coming from
the mines of Cripple Creek. Nevada's
output increased about the same
amount, chiefly by reason of the
phenomenal yields of the Goldfield
jnines.
California Leads
The greatest progress is reported in
California, whose production exceeds
that of 1903 by $2,300,000, the increase
beine caused tartly by a strong de
velopment of the quartz mining in
dustry and to a less degree by the ac
tivity of the dredgers. Alaska and
Arizona show increased yields,
amounting respectively to $476,893
and 748.708. A number of states
show small increases, while Utah,
Montana and Washington have less
gold to their credit in 1904 than in
1903.
The increase of value in the produc
tion of silver of $2,713,378 is some
what distributed among the various
states and territories, but is to some
extent due to the better price of sil
ver obtained. Colorado leads with, an
increase of $970,320. California,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah,
also added considerable value to their
silver production.
KING DEATH
King Death was a rare old fellow!
He sat where no sun could shine;
He lifted his hand so yellow,
And poured out his coal-black wine.
Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!
There came to him many a Maiden.
Whose eyes had forgot to shine;
And Widows, with grief o'erladen,
For a draught of his sleepy wine.
Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!
The Scholar left all his learning;
The Poet his funded woes;
And the Dcauty her bloom returning,
Uke life to the fading rose.
Hurrah! for the coal black wine!
All came to the royal old fellow.
Who laughed till hi eyes dropped
brine
A he gave them hU hand so yellow.
And pledged them In Death's Mack
wine,
Hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! for the coal black wine!

Miss Lillian rowell, Aurora, Ind., writes: .
4 'Last spring I caught a severe cold from getting my feet wet and being
out in the rain, and in a day I had a most miserable cold, but I neglected it,
thinking It would soon leave me. But It hung to me for two weeks, when
I felt something must be done, as my condition was serious. .
. " had heard so much about Peruna and In its praise that I boughta bottle
and began taking It regularly. 1 was gratified to find that in a week the
cold and cough was broken up, and three weens- ireaimem comptaeir re
stored my mualgood health." Lillian roweii.

This cold is dilly-dallied with, either .

cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called In, only, to '.
discover that the patient is in the first
stages of consumption. . - -
It was lust in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind., became sick.
She caught a cold, and not considering
it serious,- neglected it, thinking-as :
many others do, that it would "wear off."
However, it clung to her tenaciously, '
and in two weeks she found her health
in a serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had been brought .
to her notice, and she took a course of
this remedy before it was too late.
' In a week "the cough and cold were
broken, and a three weeks' treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing "all tho
while. Not a day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not '
have a similar experience with Peruna,
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
a cold. The next step is a failure to euro
it promptly. The third step is the de
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. It is
then consumption in the flrat stage. .
At any time daring the progress of ca
ttrrh, from the first onset of the cold to
its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
If you have taken a cold, buy Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the be
ginning will do more good than a half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
Thousands of Testimonials.
