GOLD RETURNS. AUCKLAND, January 17. " •The Auckland gold returns for 1900 reached a. total of £635,033, as compared wiish £011,150 for 1899. The decrease is not to be taken as a sign of deterioration. as it is more than accounted for by the fact that in 1899 a larger number of companies were engaged in ore treatment, most of whioa during 1900 de. voted their time to development. Consequently .the output: bad more sources of supply in 1899 than in the year just, dosed. Details show that there is un sign of falling-off in' the returns from the great majority of the regular hullion.producing mines, but an excellent average is being maintained. The year bus been a very prosperous one.
