The estimate OF the total amount Of the
gold output for the world Is Si27 600, 600
as against $4lO.555, 900 for the year 1907
Africa, as usual. is the largest contrib
utor to this increase. the yield for that
country being $l65, 100000, as against
$15l 600 for the previous year
The production of the United States
shows the next largest increase Of gold
being this year $50, Bon. 900, compared with
500, $4,000 for last year. Alaska, Cali
fOrnia, Colorado and South Dakota all
show material gains. The sections prin
cipally contributing to these gains were:
Alaska. with an increase of 81. 400, $50:
California. with 81. 13o, 900: Colorado, with
almost s., 900. 600 and South Dakota. with
So, 10000. making a total increase in
these states of over ten and half mil
lion dollars.
The injuRctions against smelters caused
a shrinkage in the output of Utah. Labor
troubles early in the year had a similar
effect upon the yield of Nevada. The
shrinkage in these states. with the losses
in some of the less important producing
sections. cut down the increase for the
entire United States to about six million
dollars.
