DECLINE OF GOLD
PRODUCTION IN
SOUTH AFRICA

The shortage in the gold produc
ton of the Rand, the leading gold
field of the world, for 1913, has at
tracted world wide attention, and
some anxiety is felt as to whether
last years decline is TO be continued
in the immediate future. There are
so many different matters to be con
sidered when dealing with this ques-
ton that to handle it in "A salts
factory manner would require more
space than is available
While there can be no doubt that
the setback is due almost entirely to
the strike at the New Kleinfontein
mine and its extension, il must not
be overlooked that ever since the
early days of the Rand the average
yield and working profits per ton
have been constantly declining, al
most year by year, and sooner or
! later this decline must produce
prejudicia effect on the total gold
production.
The Rand hitherto has been re-
markably free from labor disputes,
only two of any Importance happen
ing in 81 years, of which that in
July, although lasting for a short
time, produced such i'll effects that
even today its influence is felt
throughout the Rand The year 1914
started with a threatened general
strike hanging over the industry, and
it was only by the declaration of mar
tial law that another general sus
pension of gold production was pre-
vented. The worst effect of these
strikes is. however, to be seen will
regard to native labor, that in July
reducing the supply from one o
comparative abundance to a state o
chronic scarcity Figures show that
owing to the i'll effects Of this strike
the tonnage milled during the Lass
half of the year fell off 2000.0Ol
tons, as compared with the first hal
of the year. For the Rand this is /
most disastrous occurrence, because
owing to the declining yield per toI
milled. it is only by increasing thu
tonnage milled that the gold outpu
can be maintained, not TO mention
being increased.
In 1908 the average yield per to-
milled was 3ls Sd per ton, but in fiv
years il has gradually declined. unit
4 last year il was only 27s sd. the low
est yield per ton for any ore yea
since the gold field was opened. Du
k ing the same time the gross profit
n per ton have fallen from lbs Sd
a 9s Cd. so that last year the aggr
II gate profits were practically the san
r. as five years ago, although the to-
II mage milled has increased more tina
II 100000 tons since the year 1870
Y. Despite this increased tonnage, wor
,r ing costs have remained at the san
10 figure, more or less of an anoma

it is due TO growing depths and lie

'21 INJURED IN BLAST
EXPLOSION IN TUNNEL UNDER
LAKE AT MILWAUKEE,.
Workmen Burned When Gas iQnites
From Drill Spark-None
Fatally Hurt.

Auwaukee.-The lives of twenty
i've laborfng men were imperiled
while working on a new intake water
tunnel under Lake Michigan, when an
explosion, said to be due to an accu-
mutation of gas, supposed to have
been ignited from a drill, occurred.
Twenty-one of the workmen were in
jured, some being seriously burned,
but it is said that all will recover.
The explosion caused a reverbera-
ton for miles over the lake. The in
Jured men were employed in the third
air chamber of the tunnel, about 1000
feet from the shore and over 100 feet
from the surface of the lake.
That they were not literally Gre
mated was due to the fact that the
gases which accumulated presumably
in the tunnel had not sufficient power
to cause greater explosion. Carried
out by other employees of the tunnel
project after foreman had unlocked
the air chamber, the victims were
rushed to a hospital
The workers caught by the explo-
sion were all found on the floor of the
large tube, where they had been
thrown by the impact of the exploding
gases. A number of them were I'M
conscious, and were thought at first
to be dead.
