So far as can be learned ti premiata is shiofly. paid for sesy ofce bare that come from private malfers in the west. The pramlam, in many cases is paid for the assay office obecks given when gold was depositat in the keeping cf.tle government. This amounts to the same thing na taking the goli itself.

The conclusion to be drawn from this trans- sation is that the syndicate is continuing its asenmulation of gold, which is supposed to have been going on for some time, but the extent of which has been carefully concealed.
Of course all this does not indicate that gold males at a premium, for there is no dificulty in obtaining it at the sub-treasury without paying
