Premier's output will be less and the Nickel Plate has not been in opera tion but Pioneer, Union and Reno will largely offset this factor. This year gold will account for 75 of the gross value of Premier's output compared with 60 for the entire producing period of the mine to the end of 1930. "Lode gold production has fluctuated from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 a year in t)ie last five years," said Mr. Galloway. "During the period the mainstay of production has been the premier at Stewart with 60 of the five-year output, 1927 to 1931 Inclusive. The 1930 figures show that of the output of 160,728 ounces, -85 was produced by gold mines and 15 as by-pro duct gold. Of the production of 136,703 ounces from gold mines nearly all was contributed by five mines Premier, Pioneer, Nickel Plate. Union and Reno. Of these Premier has only a somewhat limited life falling new discoveries. .
