A MATTER OF GUBSSWORK.
Estimating the Gold ‘and ‘Silver Output of the Country.
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Estimates of the mineral output of the
peveral states in which mining is a pro
minent industry for the year 1899 are
in order. According to custom, the
Director of the -Mint has given out a
preliminary estimate of the production
of gold and silver in the United States
‘during the calendar year jast closed.
Comparing this estimate with statements made by other computers of the
precious metal production of the sev
eral states in which they respectively
reside, oné cannot avoid noticing the
disagréement in the figures. Take,
for example, the gold and silver production of California. The Director
of the Mint estimates the gold produced during 1899 at $14,952, 392, as
against $15,637,900 in 1898, or a decrease
of $684,518. The statistician of the
Mint in San Francisco places the yield
of gold in 1899 at $15,000,000, as against
$14, 438,601 in. 1898, an increase of
$562,199, Turning to the returns of the
silver output, the same disagreement
is noticeable between the figures of the
Dircctor and the statistician. The former puts the yield of 1899 down at $1,896, 363 ‘and that of 1898 at $830,448; the
latter credits the State with having
yielded only $636,000, last year and $415894 the year before. While neither may
be correct, it must‘be apparent to every
one conversant with the mining industry in California that the Director’s
estimates as to silver are certainly
nearer the true mark than those of the

An analysis like this shows how little
reliance can be placed on official figures when they deal with our gold and
silver production. The Government
keeps a corps of statisticians to gather
data and compute general results for
its own purpose and the information
of the public; but when these results
are analyzed they resolve themselves
into the products of a system of guesswork upon which we can put just as
much dependence as our faith in the
ability of the guesser goes. The deplorable fact about.all this is that these . ;
uncertainties have cost the National
Treasury as muchas if they’ had been .
correct.
