Australian Gold Output Falling

Gold production Of western Austria.
liza continues to show steady decline.
During the six months ended June 80,
1919. the total Australian production
amounted to 573,279 fine ounces, of
which western Australia furnished
410,42s ounces. For the first six
months Of 1918 the Australian produc-
ton was 641 ,911 ounces, the state Of
western Australia furnishing 443,9SS
ounces. During the first six months
Of 1917 the total production amounted
TO 727,995 ounces. Of which amount
western Australia furnished 49O. 46G
ounces. 1t Is stated that the cause Of
this decline is increased working ex-
penses due to high wages and the high
cost Of machinery and materials. It
is not expected that much, II any,
Improvement can be looked for in the
immediate future.
