OF the LARGEST mines to-day are in Queens
land and Western Aus :ralia. in places where
gold was not known to exist until a Few
years ago. Mount Morgan. the richest gold
mine of the verdi. is in Queensland II Is
n mountain of iron and gold which has vast
fortunes in sight. New South Wales pro-
duced a half million ounces OF, god in 1879.
and Western Australia turned Jut more
than a million and a half ounces IN l9on.
Indeed, Queensland and Western Australia
are now the leading gold producers. In
1900 they produced more thar two and
one-half million ounces of geld. OF more
than three-fftha of all the eo!d mined that
year in Australasia. TIE production of the
whole continent end New Zealand l. 1850
| was more than :f6.w0.0n. and in 1saa more
than sso,00,NG0. or almost three times as
| much as II wsa in 1890.
Desert Mtnes of West Australia.
i Indeed. It is hard to appreciate the enor-
. nous extent of the. undeve.oped gold coun-
try in this part of the world. / have. talked
with miners from Western Australia. They
tell me that the most Of hat vast terri
tory has not been touched. Said one min
ing expert:
1.-The gold we know of extends over an
area of mere than 6Ua,0O square miles. You
can take dirt from the road at any point
along a thousand miles. wash 1t and find
color. Many of the camps are 90 far in the
interior that camels have. to be used to
carry the supplies. Prospectors travel on
camels. and the ore IL taken out upon
camels. There arc parts. Of the country
where you can travel for hundreds of miles
and see nothing but sand and rock. hut the
sand and rock are mixed with gold"
The chief trouble. continued the miner.
SIS the Jack of water. 1t is impossible 10
get. enough to wash the gold out. and we
have tanning mills through which the dust
is run. The fans blow the sand away. and
as the gold is heavier it drops to the bot
tom.-Of course. a great deal of gold goes
of with the sand. but enough remains to
make 1t pay"
How the Government Helps Miners.
In such places water is worth money. In
the Coolgardie fields 1t has brought as much
as Is cents a gallon. and there is a regular
business of taking salt water from the
lakes and wells and running it through
condensers to make II fresh.
The Government does all 1t can to help
the miners. In Western Australia an APP
preparation Of 3l2, 100000 for waterworks
for one district was recently voted. The
Government is laying 200 miles of water
! pipes there through which II will pump s..

get. 1t weighed 1885 pounds. and was taken
out of a mine in Calaveras County. The
Welcome" nugget was found at a depth OF
$50 feet. but most of the others were nearer
the surface.
Placer Mines W.. Qua ts. :.
All together $3.50. 900. 0co worth of gold have
been taken from the earth about Ballarat.
and 1t is estimated that out of this State Of
Victoria alone the product has been 81, 250.-
Nta0ce. At first all of the gold was ~aiiuvial.
AT present the most of the mining is quartz
min Ing. and some of it IS. very deep. There
are a number of mines that are below 200
feet. and the South Star is mining at a
depth of $500 feet. There are twenty mines
here which have paid out. more than Ns.-
100000 IN dividends on an original invest
ment CT less than s..sos.0.e
The mines In Victoria, are economically
managed. In some of them. the ore runs
less than three pennyweights to the ton.
There is one mine in Victoria which aver
aged only an ounce Of gold to every six
and one-haf tons OF ore last year. and
notwithstanding this paid $4,000 in divi-
dends. Among the incidents of economical
management are seven mines which have
| Melted 131 per cent on their paidiup capital
| stock. In these mines only IS per cent Of
the gold found is spent In getting it out
and paying the cost Of management. etc.
i Over % per cent of the gold produced goes
to the dividends.
The Deep Mines of BendiHo.
Some of the most remarkable mines of
this State are at Bendiso, or Sandhurst.
about a hundred miles from Melbourne,
where the gold fields yield about a million
dollars a year. The mines are very deep.
The Lansell mine Is already down 1889 feet.
and 1t is going lower. There are eleven
other mines more than 400 feet deep. and
of these five have a depth Of over 1900
feet. They are being worked at a profit,
and 1t IS thought that the heat will not be
too great, at a depth of 1000 feet. Bendigo
has already produced about $aooJoOo.o 0O
worth of gold. and at the present time 5000
miners are working there. The men are
paid $l2.5O a week. They work eight hours
a day. with a half holiday every Wednes-
day. Most of the mines have day and night
shifts. three sets Of men being employed
to fill out the twenty-four hours.
