in Australia, the placer industry is in its dotnge. The lode districts within the periphery of >il}' 30“ mil- es from the coast line, are in their decadence. the great interior desert is partially unknown but has in re- cent years been much traVersed. The districts in the interior so far dis- covered, sit-ii as (‘oulgarditu Kal- goorlie, t'll.. are all decadent. The Maximum output from Australia was reached about five 'or six years ago, and it has been steadily decreasing ever since. U. S. Dredge Production Has Pass- ed Its Zenith. Placer mining in the United States made a recovery from apparent ex- tinction a few‘years ago by the rise of the dredging industry; this has passed its zenith and the output will soon begin to decrease if it has not already done so. Lode mining has had no accessions since the Nevada discoviries of ten years ago. Alto- gether the outlook is decidedly to« ward diminution of the output, for lack of sufficient new recruits to fill the places of those producers now imminent of death.

Further the opportunities for im- provement on modern methods, and thus the renewed play of lower- grade or refractory mines, are no longer of importance. The increase in percentage recovery from 60 per cent. of mm 90 per cent, offered many opportunities and realized much increase in production. but the region for expansion between 9?. per cent. and ultimate 95 per cent. is small. The cost of working has been re- duced to near bedrock by mechanical equipment, until the room for fur- ther improvement amounts to cents per ton and not dollars as it was formerly. And in this last connec- tion the cost of wages and supplies in this industry is increasing like all others and will more than offset any reduction due to improved me- thods.
