OUTPUT 0f GOLD

The worlds gold output century
ago averaged, according to Prof. Scot
beer, about $7,3GO,000 annually, the
bulk of which was. derived from work
ings in the Ural Mountains Gradually
other sources Of supply came to be
added to the Russian production and
large increases occurred. Such gains
were especially marked in the late
forties and early fiftieSof last century.

in California and Australia tBallarab
The greatest discovery so far has
been of the Witwatersrand. Prior to

Al per cent Of the total gold output OF
the world, while the whole OF Africa
contributes over A. per cent.
Australia, Canada and the
United States
For. many years Victoria was the
premier producer of gold Of the Aus

comparatively small amounts. In New
Zealand and Queensland finds were
reported early in the sixties. In the
mid-nineties important discoveries
were made in West Australia and 9TH
er fields.
Until quite recently the output OF
Canada was nearly all by-product
in connection with copper smelling,
averaging up to the mid-nineties only
about s973.000 worth of gold per

1t is expected that the sugar crop
now being harvested will equal II not
exceed the splendid crop Of 1916
Weather conditions throughout the
past year we're, on the whole, faTora-
Bile for the growth Of the cane, the
only Objectionable occurrences being
the hurricane last August, which fortu.
flately did little damage, and slight
drought which was not OF sufficient
duration to harm tie growth OF the
canes.
There were no labor troubles during
the growing season, and 1t was only
when the Is centraIs in the colony
were about to uegin operations that
the laborers demanded higher wages
to offset the higa cost Of living. Tbs
matter was taken up with the Govern,
ment and an agreement was reached
whereby workers in the field and cen
trails received Increases varying from
5 to 10 cents per metric ton, accord to
the kind of labor performed. An in
crease of Acc. per metric ton. 2,204.6

Owing to the heavy demands In
France for sugar the prospects are
that the price for this commodity viii
be high and that as result the pros
perity of the entire island win be
increased. The annual export of sugar
from the colony averages about 40.

English sparrows were welcomed with
the rest, although they tried to bully
the others. Even grouchy old Sir Crow
was permitted to peck a bit.
