bounties on newly mined gold, or have
been doing so until recently. Australia
introduced a gold bounty in 1930-one
this to one shilling an ounce. Since
September, 1882, this bounty has been
suspended. The object was to encour-
age the revival Of gold mining in West

The government of Canada also has
q bounty on mined gold. 1t now buys

output. plus IL per cent-which Is the
current premium at the rate of United
States exchange. This involves a total
payment Of some $35. 000, 900 annually.

Ottawa. During 1892 the Canadian
government paid out just q fraction over
8 per cent premium on gold bought by
the Royal Mint-at $22.6l an ounce. the
