New Zealand’s Gold.
Figures as a role form dr; reading, yet taken in email doses are both interesting and instructive. The gold returns for this colony, for instance, are full of interest. Up till the end of last year the value of gold obtained totalled a little less than sixty millions sterling, obtained principally from four oentres as follows : Otago £28,098,891 West Coast ... 18,528,282 Auckland ... ... 10,512,866 Nelson 6,684,855
In reality tbe Coast heads the list, the gold credited to Nelson being mostly obtained from the Coast. During last year the value ot gold obtained from the three gold producing centres was:— Auckland £695,551 Otago 575,492 West Coast ... 450,000 Tho total yield for 1801 was valued at £1,753,783, as against £1,489,602. The chief increase was from the West Coast, which advanced from £295,733 in 1900, to £454,000 in 1901. Otago had an increase of £54,000 and Auel land of £90,000. This year the return is expected to still farther advance.
