GOlD-PAST AND PRESENT.
Prior to California and Africa Discoveries
the Output Was Small.
(From Chambers' Journal)

Just before the California discoveries,
namely, in 1919, the worlds annual output
of gold was only about E6,000,eOO. Then
came the American and Australian booms.
raising the quantity produced in 1853 TO tho
value of $50, 100000. After 1868 there was a
gradual decline to less than G 10000. 900 in
1888 This was the lowest period. and then
tho De Kaap and other discoveries In AZ
RIGA began to raise the total slowly again.
Between 1888 and 1887 the Ell Callao mine
in South America and the Mount Morgan
in Australia helped greatly to enlarge the
output, and then in 1887 the Randi" be-
gan to yield of it's riches. The following
are the estimates Of q miniug expert Of the
worlds gold production during the five
years, lS90-94. namely. 1890, E32 100, 900: 1891,
G26, 900: 1892, R29,260; 1898, 3l,1l0.00O;
1894, 23G 900, 900. In these estimates no dis
tinction seems to have been made between
mine valuations and mint valuations; but
1t will be observed that the estimate for
1894 corresponds with that OF the United
States mint authorities.
As to the future Of the South African
sources Of supply, II Is estimated by
Messrs Hatch & Chalmers, mining en-,
gtneers. who have lately published AN ex-
haustive work on the subject that before
the end of the present century the Witt
watersrandt mines alone will be yielding
gold to tho value of f2o,000,00 annually;
that early next century they will turn out
f26, 900, 900 annually. and that the known
resources of the district are equal TO q
total production within the next half con.
fury of G70o. 0O0 900. of which, probably,
f2O0 900, 900 will be clear profit over the cost
of mining.
