SOUTH AFRICA LEADS
Considering the production of in
dividual countries from 1493 to 1927
Transvaal has been the largest con
tributor, producing nearly 219.000,-j
000 ounces or 22 percent of the
world figure. This great total was!
{attained in 43 years, as the Trans- j
jvaal deposits were discovered in '
11885. The United States did not I
become important until 1848. Aus- j

produced 17 percent, Russia nine j
percent, Colombia five percent, j
Brazil four percent, and Canada j

FIRST DISCOVERY IN U. S.
j The date of the first discovery of j
I gold in the Territory which now I
'comprises the United States is not I
known, but the existence of gold in j
! the southern Appalachian states j
was discovered by the Spaniards in
the early part of the 16th century, j
A small production from North and j
South Carolina antedates the Revo
lutionary War. Gold was found in
Virginia as early as 1782, but until
1829 production was insignificant.
In 1829 gold was discovered in
Georgia, which soon became one of
the leading producers of the coun
try.
The production of gold in the
United States before 1848 was in
significant, as the total production
up to that time was less than 1,
200,000 ounces. In the decade 1831
to 1840 the average annual produc
tion was only 31.800 ounces, five per
cent ui me wunu tutiu. imineumte
ly after the discovery of gold in
California in 1848, production in
creased so rapidly that in 1849 the
United States became the leading
world producer. By 1853 the pro
duction had exceeded 3,144,000
ounces. In six years, production j
had been multiplied 73 times. Dur- I
ing the period 1851 to 1855 the
United States produced nearly 45
percent of the world total. At this
time the production of the western
states completely dwarfed the out
put of the Appalachian district,
whose production since 1848 had
been relatively unimportant.
From 1853 on, production declin
