Since the discovery of America,
world production of gold has only
.slightly exceeded a billion ounces,
[approximately 1,003.500,000 ounces
being indicated by study of availa
ble records, says Scott Turner, di
rector of the U. S. Bureau of Mines,
in commenting on an economic re
view of gold production in the per
iod 1493-1927, recently concluded
by Robert A. Ridgway and the staff
of the bureau. Scattered produc
tion of which there is no record
would probably add no more than
one percent to this estimated total.
More than half of the grand total
of gold production for the past 435
years, or 516,273,000 ounces, was
produced in the first 27 years of
the present century. Of the cumu
lative world production of gold
since 1492, 467,000,000 ounces are
setimated to exist in the form of
monetary stocks, while 536,563,329

S ounces represent the balance of
|gold lost or absorbed in other than
monetary uses.
The scarcity of gold may be illus
trated by the fact that if the entire
world production since the discov
ery of America were cast into a
cube, its edges would measure only
38.5 feet. It might well be ques
tioned whether this gold, consider
ed merely as a metal characterized
I by certain properties, could be
jworth the toil and sacrifice requir
jed for its production; but as a basis
| of exchange, greatly facilitating the
| development of commerce among
| the peoples of the earth, its value
to civilization exceeds all reckoning,
Mr. Turner pointed out.
GOLD BUILDS NATIONS
It can hardly be doubted that the
United States gold production,
amounting to more than $4,500,000,
000 when reckoned roughly at $20
an ounce, must have been an im
portant factor in assisting the de
velopment of other sources of nat
ional wealth. The British Empire
production from the Transvaal i
(1001 to 1927) of more than 198,
000,000 ounces: from Australia, of j
more than 168,000.000 ounces; from
Canada, of nearly 32,000,000 ounces;
from India and Rhodesia together
32.000. 000 ounces and from other
harts of the British Empire of 12,
000,000 ounces, amounting in all, j
since 1801 to 442.994,369 ounces, or j
about $9,000,000,000, should be rec
koned an important factor in the
prosperity of that empire.
j In the world production of gold j
jfrom 1843 to 1927, North America)
was the largest producing contin- !
ent, contributing 281,056.639 ounces j
or 28 percent, with Africa a cloce
second, contributing 270.127,146
ounces, or 27 percent of the world
total. Australia produced nearly
169.000. 000 ounces, or 17 percent;
South America nearly 125,000,000
ounces or 12 percent; Asia 112,000,
000 ounces, or 11 percent; and
Europe nearly 44,000,000 ounces or
four percent.
RECORD OF PRODUCTION
From 1493 to 1850 South America
was the most important source of
gold in the world and during the
18th century 80 percent of the pro- j
duction came from that continent.
Africa was a close second during
the 15t.h century, but soon lo*t its
importance. North America, Europe
and Asia showed definite increases
in the first half of the 19th century.
However, in the last half of the i
19th century South America became
less important. North American and
Australia assuming the lead y;ith 36
percent and 31 percent of the wor’d
production. Both Asia and Africa
also produced more in this period
than South America. In the first
quarter of the 20th century Africa '
became the leading producer, as
42 percent of hte world production
came from the mines in that con
tinent. North America, with 29
percent was second; and Australia j
with 13 percent was third. Asia, j
South America and Europe follow
ed in order. In the period 1926 and
1927 the relative position of the
continents was the same except
