were suspect for a considerable
while. and but for pluck and persever-
ance, might have been overlooked.
However, in the end they proved sue
cessful. The policy of sinking a single
shaft few feet further saved the stu
alton, and though quite ten years were
taken to enter the stage of production,
India since 1880 has, to 1916, inclusive,
obtained from modern working about
$3.50, 100000 value.
The greatest discovery so far has
| been that of the WitwaSterSrand. Prior
to ascertainment of existence of gold
bearing Blankets in the Transvaal there
had been finds of quartz deposits In
other parts Of the Transvaal republic,
also at the Gold Coast. Quickly it was
ascertained that the region where now
is johannesburg was highly payable.
In September, 1856, the Rand was pro-
claimed a goldfield, production com
menced, and the output of the Trans
vaal from some $4,000 worth of gold
in 1884, five years later attained ST.
100000, and the output in 1899-the
year of the commencement Of the Boer
war-was at the rate of about $780,
100000 year.
Record Production.
For 1916 the value of production was
the record one of about $197, 800, 900,
and at the present time the Rand pro-
duction alone equals about 41A per
cent of the total gold output of the
world, while the whole Of Africa shows
proportion of over AZ per cent. There
were discoveries In Rhodesia, which in
1916 also attained a record production,
and West Africa, from which came ma
| tive-produced gold dust-hence the
names Of Guinea Coast and Gold Coast
and which in modern time has, with
some slight success, added to the
worlds supply.
| For many years Victoria, of the Aus.
tralian continent, was the premier pro-;
Queer of gold, but it now yields COM
paratively small output. In the mid
nineties important discoveries were;
made in West Australia, and the Cool
gardie and other fields quickly put on
the pace. The maximum output Of the
colony of any year was that of 1903
SAC, $50, 000-but gradually since its pros
duction has fallen off. In New Zealand
and Queensland finds were reported
early in the sixties.
Till quite recent years the output Of
Canada was nearly all by-product in
connection with copper smelling, aver
aging till the mid-nineties only about
81 100000 worth Of gold per annum !
but Late in the nineties the Yukon field
became a fairly important one, and
discoveries of out-and-out gold regions
in Ontario have recently commenced to
show some good figures. Yukon at
tanned its highest in 1900-some S18,-
100000; but in 1916 fell to $5,0O0,O00.
