TRANSVAAL TURNS OUT
A BIG GOLD SUPPLY
Nearly One=third of Worlds

fine ounces of gold, valued at $780,
793,303, an increase of 5S3,275. .269

vious year. The Witwatersrand area
alone turned out 7.O3S,3O6 ounces.
worth S143,4 1908 OF the estimated
gold output of the world for the year
1909 the Transvaal furnished nearly
one-third. The output of all South
Africa in 1909, including the Rhode
sian yield fS12,76S.279). will constitute
over 35 per cent of the worlds gold
supply.
In the eight gold mining districts of
the Transvaal there were in operation
on June 80. 1909. no less than 11S
mines with 1854 stamps and tube mills
at work, an increase of 743 over those
in operation on June 80, 1908. In adj
dition TO the stamps and tube mills
actually at work at the end of June,
1909. there were at that time 1858
erected for future use in gold produc-
tion. This number is being constantly
added to in order to keep pace with
the expanding industry The total
average number of persons employed
in the gold mines of the Transvaal for
the year was 1S0.916. of whom 1910
were whites, 10,242 Chinese and $780,
934 colored.
According to the latest official re-
ports the total gold output of Rho
desia for the calendar year 1909 was
623,33S.42 fine ounces, valued at s12.-
1929, an increase in value over the
previous year of S475,4S1. These fig
ures do not represent the actual prog
.ress made in Rhodesia gold mining, a
a great deal of prospecting and de-
veloping work has been done. the re-
suits of which, so far as mineral out
put is concerned. can not be computed
at this early date. In 1909. according
to the South African Mining Journal.
no less than $50 different companies
declared production, as against 435 in
1908 The grade of ore milled by the
whole country improved during the
year by 80 cents per ton
The success and extent of gold min
ing in Rhodesia, as in all of South
Africa, depend very largely upon the
available supply of native (colored)
labor problem constantly confront
ing the gold mining companies, and it
is admitted that the Rhodesian sup
ply has been quite inadequate through
out the year. The average number of
native laborers employed in the Rho
desian mines during the year was
32,S6S.
