annual record Of 81, 2s3 900 ounces
as compared with the previous
high Of 20, TAO, 900 ounces in 1895

1928, the year prior to the current

The output during the first two
months of 1887 was 80 per cent
larger than q year ago, indicating
that another new high peak will
be attained this year. The main
tenance Of an Ga per cent increase
during the remainder Of the year
would result in an annual output
Of about SO, 00O, 900 ounces in 1887.

lent Of nearly all the new gold pro.
duced found its way in 1895 into

Virtually unknown q few years
