Of the amount of gold coined within the last year, about S125, ,000 were derived from Mexico, South America, and the West h. dies; S19,Ooo from Africa, 166, 900 from the gold regions of the U. States, and about S38, 1000 from sources not ascertained.

 Of the gold of the U. States above men, toned, S24, 900 may be stated to have beer received from Virginia, S2o4,000 from N. Carolina, S26,o00 from s. Carolina, and S212,000 from Georgia.

 In the last annual report, the progressive development of the gold region of the U. States was illustrated by referring to the in crease of the annual receipts of North Caro- lima, which, previously to 1924, had been in, considerable, but, from that year to 1929, in- elusive, had advanced from S5, ,000 to 128,- GOO; and, also, to the then novel occurrence of gold having been received at the mint from Virginia and s. Carolina; about S25000 having been received from the former and S3,500 from the latter. The past year ex- hibits, in relation to all those States, con- spcuous increase in the production of gold, and presents, also, the remarkable fact oi S112,0C0 in gold received from Georgia, from which State no specimen thereof had been presented at the mint in any previous year.

 The coinage above exhibited exceeds the amount of any former year. The demand remains, nevertheless, unabated; and the mass of bullion now in fhe vaults of the mint is large beyond any previous example.

 These facts confirm the expediency of the provisions for extending the mint establish ment, and indicate that the measure has not been premature. In relation to the struc- ture erecting under those provisions, have the satisfaction to state, that although its progress has beer, during part of the past season, unexpectedly impeded, the prepara- tions making for vigorous prosecution of the work at the earliest practicable moment, au- thorize the hope that the commencement o the operations of coinage in the new edi6ce will be deferred but for short period be- yond the time contemplated when the foun- dation of the building was laid, namely, the 4th of July of the present year. Nor is less confident hope entertained that the charac ter of the structure, as public edifice
