This gives us room to promise for the Virginia office $500,000 a month for the year 1863 (though perhaps, judging by the steady increase in the business, we are under estimating, somewhat).

This gives us $6,000,000 for the year.
Gold Hill and Silver City together can beat us--we will give them $10,000,000.

To Dayton, Empire City, Ophir and Carson City, we will allow an aggregate of $8,000,000, which is not over the mark, perhaps, and may possibly be a little under it.

To Esmeralda we give $4,000,000.
To Reese River and Humboldt $2,000,000, which is liberal now, but may not be before the year is out.

So we prognosticate that the yield of bullion this year will be about $30,000,000.
