In the first eleven months of the war, Ontarto‘s mines produced $110,â€" 008,713 in gold bullion and paild out the sum of $32820269 in dividends, or approximately 30 per cent of the proâ€" duction. In the eleven months that have elapsed since that time, Ontario boosted its production regularly and the high monthly record has bten broken four times, climaxing with July. Increase in value in the period was 14.8 per cent and increase in quantity 4.9 per cent. Trend for the remaining months of this year is expected to continue upward. In August, 1939, the month before the war started, gold production established a new high monthly record of $9,090,395, or a daily rate of $293,238. Quantity production was 257,050 ounces for the month, or a daily rate of 8,385 ounces, Mohawk Porcupine Mines Now Planning More W ork While total production for the month of July at $10,441,988 was the highest ever recorded in the Province‘s history, the month of June had a slight edge on daily output, the rate being $344,243, which was equal to $14,340 an $239 a minute, or $3.98 each second. On the basis of returns already reported by individual mines for the month of August, last month‘s bullion production is likely to have set another new high record. FPigures should be issued in the near future. Every time the clock ticked during the month of July,, Ontario‘s gold producing mines turned out $3.90 in new wealth an anaylsis of the latest figures issued â€"by the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Mines reveals This means that $234 in gold bullion was produced every minutes, or $14,040 every hour, or $336,960 every day.
