The effect Oof the premium on gold is seen in the annual report of the Ontario Bureau of Mines, which disâ€" closes that the quantity of ore treated n <the gold imines of the province increased from 5,621,517 tons in 1933 to 6,504,835 in 1935. Figured at the old price of gold the value would have been $1,024,918 below that of the previous year.. The advance in gold has enabled the mines to treat ore of a lower grad>, thus lengthening the life of the mines and the communities now dependent on the industry.

In this connectitcn, says the report of the d4epartment, it is of interest to note that in the Transvaal the record for 1934 as compared with 1923 shows an increase in tonnage millâ€" ed of nearly eight per cent. but a deâ€" crease in grade from 5.844 to 5.150 dwt. per ton of ore or almost 12 per cent.

For thousands’ Of years gold has been considered as a metal of great value which does uot‘ in Canada were won in the six months perioq ending March 3lst, 1934. From time to time fears are ¢xpress ea regarding the future Oof gold. 4 Early in 1934 the United States estabâ€" lished a price for gold of $35.00. With the increased price of gold and particuâ€" larly with defacto stabilization at $35.00 which removed a considera‘ble part of the element of uncertainty, the whole ecomonics of gold mining was changed. ;The increased price of gold was in a large measure used to convert low grade material into ore, which,is shown by the drop of 22 p.c. in the averag»> grade of ore treated between 1932 and 1934, thus materially lengthening the lives of the mines and the mining comâ€" munities. Not only this but a tremer.â€" dous impetus was given to prospecting and the development of new properties, with the result that more new milling plants were started or put into operaâ€" tion in 1934 han in any time in the history of gold mining in this country.| Profits were also greatly increased but in my opinion the maximum profits per ton that we are likely to see realized 1932 1933 1934 Increasei $2,657,160 $3,786,686 $6,762,203 300 p.c. Taxes per Oz $1.29 $1.99 $3.56 ’ iTaxes, per fon â€" 59c Slic $1.34 | It is estimated that operating at the same rate, and with no change in the tax rate or basis of depletion, t11e:50| same mines will pay $850,000 more taxes | in 1935 than they did in 1934. In at least one Northern Ontario mine taxes last year were over $2.25 per ton and for every dcllar paid for wages 83¢ was paid in direct taxes. Levies on this j scale, which impinge directly upon working costs, are bound to have an adverse effect upon the industry, which has in fact been manifest since the bullion tax was imposed about a year ago. Taxes Increased Total direct taxes not including cusâ€" toms duties, sales tax, etc.:â€" It will be gentgrally found that inâ€" cluding purchases Oof new equipment forca pital account, other expenditures. exclusive of taxes, head cffice expenses and purchase price of properties, will practically equal wages. This means that the gold mining industry alone, excluding byâ€"product gold producers, paid $47,000,000 for wages, supplies and services, which is a most important conâ€" tribution to our naticnal economy. ‘ Taxes are also an important item, important not only in amount, but bc-!‘ cause they constitute a large and unâ€"| controllable item in the cost of producâ€" ticn. For these figures we must again go to Ontario, which at the present time is the only place where they ars availaible. The following table showing the ‘taxes of the seven Ontario gold mines subject to the bullion tax, indiâ€" cates the rapidly mounting cOsts of these imposts. : Mine Wages High The records of the Ontario Workâ€" men‘s Compensation Board of the averâ€" age weekly earnings of all claimants, which should be a fair basis of comâ€" paristcn for the average earnings of all employees, show that the average for the mining group was 30 p.c. higher than for any of the 23 other classes of industry in the province. It is rather difficult to determine the wages paid by the gold mining industry but we estimaite approximately $23,500,â€" 000. This of course is only for the golid mines and does not take into considerâ€" ation such mines as the Noranda and Hudson Bay, nor does it take into acâ€" count a considerable amtcunt of wages paid out by exploration and developâ€" ment companies‘ and for prospecting. In Quguec the Noranda was responâ€" sible for the major part of the producâ€" tion and in Manit¢ba the Flin Flon and San AntOonio were the mcost important factors in the preduction of that proâ€" vince. During 1934 Canadian gold mines treated more tons, employed more men, bought mere supplies, paid more wages, paid a higher average rate cf wages, and paid more taxes than ever before in their history. Increases Shown in Gold _ _ and Silver Production amounted to 2,964,395 ozs. valued at $102,242,481. This represents an increase of 15,100 078. in quantity and $17,692,244 in valuc. The increase in ounce production is particularly gratifying in view of the general decrease in the average grade f ore treated. The only available figâ€" ures for 1934 ~regarding decrease in rade are from Ontario and these show hat for the first nine months of 1934 he average recovery per ton was .324 z. cocmpared with .383 oz. for theâ€"corâ€" esponding period of 1933, a decrease of wver 15 p.c. M It is interesting to note that this perâ€" *entage decrease in Ontario is the same _1s on the Rand in Scuth Africa, for he same period. O the total Canadian producticn: (1) 71.25 p:c. came from Ontario (2) 13 p.c. from Quebec (3) 9.67 p.c. from British Columbia (4) 3.36 p.c. came from Manitoba. Of the Ontario production 97 1â€"2 p.c. ‘ame from POorcupine and Kirklandi Lake, and was almost equally divided setween the two camps but with Kirkâ€" Aand Lake occupying the leading tion. There was, however, a marked difference in the reccvery per ton, beâ€" ing .256 oz. per ton in Porcupine, and 907 oz. in Kirkland, so that with a little over 35 p.c. of the tOotal tonnagel of the two camps, Kirkland produced more gold than Porcupine.

During the past seven hundred years, there has been an average yearly appreciaâ€" ‘tion in price of approximately one per cont. or 700 p.c. in the 700 years. A year or more ago when countrics were cne by one leaving the gold stanâ€" dard the demand for gold was greater than ever, and in order to obtain gold on the London market, which was the only free markes left at that time, purâ€" chasers were paying a premium over the Bank of France selling price. While in couniries such as England the price â€"I gold will fluctuate in terms of curâ€" rercy, there does not appear to be any economic reason for an increase in the United States price cof gold in the near future and there is much less reason to expect any decline in price.
