Phuss. 5,101,150 cubic yards worked, divided by 244, equals 2,186,207 cubic yards, the quantity for ove year's dividends on the e6mpany’s basis, . therefore, 415,866,359 cubic yards of reservés, divided by the abuve quantity, fer one year, will give 190 years as the length of time which these reserves will last, if the rate of consumption estimated. is maintained! Bat it will be remembered as the washings approach the bed rock the ‘gold product increases, and.the-rate of washing becoinés slower, because thelowtime required to wash-off the whole mass of gravel-will probably exceed by several years the period now ¢al$4,948,937 22.~ The Governor takes lacks than for what it contains. is silent on the currency question— on telegraph monopoly—on the reduction of official fees and salaries— xeform—on the eleotion of President and Vice President -and .U, 8.
