Show The Aunnal Bullion Product The year just ended does not show all told as well as others nave done in regard to the bullion product of the territory The output for the year 1879 6521974769 is the least since I 1874 which was 4000000 However How-ever it is gratifying to know that of this amount 75 per cent has been turned out during the last six months of the year The lead ore production is thtt hast while that of gold has increased in-creased Among the notable causes of the decreased production is the fire in tho Ontario mine which causes that property to shut down for such a long time thereby cutting nfl one of our main producers The number of ounces of silver exported was 1797589 and of gold 5693 As before Elated over 75 percent per-cent of the total amount produced this year was during the past six months which indicates a sudden and vigorous revival and as compared with ornier periods is greater than the production of any similar period since the commencement of mining in the territory The showing is gratifying as it poin ts to a reopening of our mining interests and gives ground for the supposition that during dur-ing 1880 the bullion production will greatly exceed that of any other year |
