Excerpt from Report of the Director of the Mint Upon the Production of Precious Metals in the United States During the Calendar Year 1898 It has been the custom of the Bureau of the Mint to make for every calendar year two independent calculations of the gold product of the country and to take their mean as the closest approximation that can be had to the actual outturn of the mines. The first of these is based on the amount of gold put upon the market by private refineries during the year, plus the fine gold contained in the unrefined of domestic pro duction deposited at the mints and assay offices of the United States, plus the pure metal of domestic production contained in ores, Copper matte, etc., exported to other countries for reduction. The second cal culation is based on the known disposition made of the newly produced gold in any calendar year._ Such gold is either deposited at the mints and assay offices of the United States, or exported from the United States in the form of bullion, ores, or copper matte, or used in the industrial arts. If foreign gold bullion enters into any of the above items, its amount must of course be deducted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Report of the Director of the Mint Upon the Production of the Precious Metals in the United States During the Calendar Year 1901 The total product of the precious metals reported by mint officers and agents in the foregoing table somewhat exceeds either of the above calculations of this Bureau, the difference between this total and the lower of the two estimates being per cent for gold and per cent for silver. A difference between the two sets of figures is naturally to be expected, inasmuch as they do not relate to the same thing, the figures reported by mint officers and agents representing the estimated fine contents of the ore, whereas the estimates of this Bureau deal with the finished product only. That the calculations of this Bureau, nevertheless, approximate very closely the results Obtained from the mines by mint Officers and agents in'the several States and Territories vouches for the practical accuracy of the estimates.
