' The paralysis of the silver mining Industry , In coniequGnuo of the low price , has created a lively hunt for gold-bearing mineral throughout the west. Not only arc placers abandot.oJ for richer prospects In former years being reworked , "but there 1 vigor ous pr03 | > octng { for gold going on In all directions. The remit is already apparent in the output , and U Is not improbable that the slump in silver , oven though temporary , will provo a blessing In dlsgulto. Developments * ! ! ! the Bald mountain nlacari near Sliorldnn , Wyo. , nro veiled fof some unknown reason , but the fact that the load imr company , tholTprtunatus , Is malting ox tonslvo improvements Is looked upon tc. proof of pay dirt. For over twelve jnonthi active development work has boon going ot nnd uono of tlio different parties Interested Imvo been so Umless in their work ns thi representatives of the Fortimntus company butfornoma reason not heretofore under ntood , this latter company hns persistently refused to make known the result of tin work done by its amalgamator , except in c report published the first of tlio.vo.ar an flouncing thut the ground ran in value of t per cubic yard. A .Sure Thine. -Oflato certain pcoplo in tores ted In the Bnl ( mountain district liavo been on the groum for tha express purposo-of discovering ivha the Fortunatiis people were really doing It is well known that , the company IB n present putting In the second amalgamate nt a cost of over $1)0.000 ) , nnd the initiate ! know that some unannounced result wa responsible for the hnsto iinu quietness wit ) which the second machine was attempted ti bo put In. Amonir others at Bald mountain are twi old nntl experienced miners , and thcso inci liavo made It their particular business t < watch mutters very closely in the imme dlato neighborhood of the liucyrua nmalgn .nmtor. "Why , " said ono of them to n correspond cnt , " 1 am 111 conlldcnt of Uald mountain' great wealth us I am that I am living and while- the reHUlts rnarhrd bv the Forlunatu company are richer than any ono had goo * reason * to liopu iur , ttio company has hcli the good news back for the simple rcaso thnt it had ndthing to lose nnd ovcrythin to gain in so doing. It made an eight dny run recently nnd the clean-up showed b ( tweon 130 and lf > 0 ounces of geld , nnd it mus be tindorstood that only surface ground tin been worked , bedrock never havin been struck iu the camp up to the presen tlmo. The experience of all men n Bald mountain has been that th deeper down that you go the coarse And moro the gold. What the result wi bo , therefore , when the amalgamator gets t working on bedrock would bo hard to cot Jecturo , so far as great wealth is conceruoc but I am positive , and my opinion is share by many practical minors , that Bald inoui tain is destined to develop into the riehc ! camp discovered in the United States i years. " The Fortunatus company will not talk fc publication , and rumors of a great strike at eemingly well founded. Increased Output. Reports rccoive'd at Washington show substantial increase in the deposits of go ! at mints nnd assay oOlcos during thu Jlr : six months of the year , amounting to $120 ! ( ] DOO moro than during the corrcsponi Ing period of 1803. It is believed tin the incrcaso for the year will I it least 1.000,000. The gold product < the United States for the calendar ycarlBi was J33,17ri,000 , and for 1803 $33,000,000 , i that the incrcaso is likely to roach 8 pi rent or even moro. It is believed at th Treasury department that the production c fold In other parts of the world will all how nn increase. Figures have alread como to hand of the product of the Wl wntersrandt district of South Africa "wlilc indicate that the steady in rcaso of produ tlon there baa not been suspended durir the present year. Tlio largest product up 1 1893 was In December , Ib'J'J , when il amount mined was 117,748 ounces , ropr Renting n value of over ? 2,300,000. Thei was a slight decline from this llgu : during the winter months , hi the production in every case wns larger tin In the same months of 1802 , and the llgun for Juno have reached 1S3/JII7 ounces , repr Bentlng a value of about f--150,000. Product This V r. The production for the llrstsix mouths the year has already reached 005,071 ounce representing a value of more than $13,000.K ( and promising nn output for the year of least $20,000,000. The estimate of lust yeai production made by Biroctor Leech was $3i 7U'WK ) ) , and his estimate of thu production the world was $130,810,000. un increase $10,000.000 over the production of 18 < J1. would appear thnt if there nro no losses other gold countries thu production for tl : year will rise to tit least $140.000.01)0. ) T ; present situation is thougho likely to stlm late the product Urn of gold , anil it Is buliuv that gold may yet bo discovered In unc ili v' ( | sections of the Andes or of Sou Africa. % jvci-urta from Idaho show thnt the c pcrlment of reopening abandoned gc mines is achieving wonderful success thei A clean-up of about $100 per ton has Ju been made from nine tons of oto from t Illinois mine.

In California the sudden growth la novr enterprises for gold mining Is most marked. After a lapse of moro than twenty-live years the Osbont Hill , at Grass Valley , has returned - turned operations. The Good Hope mlno on Albion Hill , In Yuba county , has been re opened. The assays at the fortieth foot proved the ledge bearing $21.80 to the ton. The hundredth foot shows even bolter. The ledge U well Uollncd , extending from the surli-co with a light southward slant at nbout an angle of llftcon degrees. It varies in width from eight to twenty inches. All who have Investigated th"o mlno express their opinion that the Good Hope -will create quite a fnnorln this vicinity , as no less than a dozen quartz claims are hold , awaiting the results of Its oporutions. Tno Odin gravel mlno at Nevada City Is looking well.

" The San Francisco Bulletin says : Ulch quartz discoveries have been inado at the head of the Shasta river , about seven miles west of Igorna. Two owners have a ledge nearly two foot in "width , which prospects well , showing gold to the naked -eye and as saying over $000 lo the ton. If this discovery should cauSO the development of othci ledges in that section a rich mining carat may bo the result , ns there is an abundance of water at hand for running mills and wash ing purposes.

It Is not incrustud with Jewels , neither Is it carved nor mosaicod , Altllough mute forever never n sound ls > sues from it , it constantly nnd eloquently repeats an always now story , dear to the hearts of the sons nnd daughters of America It is the old llbnrty boll. The oynlc 01 philosopher who believes that patriotism ii dying out or disappears with a broader odu cntlon , would learn n very Instructive am ] wholesome lesson by standing for nn hour bj the old boll. He would ilnd at nil hours o : tlm day crowds collected nrouno the old bat tered relic. Ho would see a patriotic onthu ulastn manifested by all classes and condi tions of people In regard to the boll , whicl would convince him thnt there wns a llav In his theory , so far ns American people nn concerned. Old men nnd women , to whom It hns evl dently boon n painful effort to walk to tin Pennsylvania building , seem to forgot thei : years' nnd itUlrmlUcs as they totter up thi stops and llnally get sight of the old bel which rung out the notes of freedom fo their ancestors.

" The big policeman simply handed to him small pamphlut which tolls nil about the bo : and said : "Head that. " About thrcn-fourths of the people who i spect the bell and have something to say < the subject have n different theory as the origin of the rupturo.
