The Daily Dispatch: December 27, 1860., [Electronic resource], Yield of gold in Australia. (search)
Yield of gold in Australia. --From 1851 to 1859, inclusive, the yield of the Victoria gold fields, Australia, amounted to £87,045,000. The annual reports showed a diminution in the yield from 1856, although the number of gold-seekers has been on the increase, and the use of steam engines and other machinery has been introduced on an enormous scale. In March, 1857, there were at the mines 62,211 male Europeans, of whom 9,035 were miners; in December, 1859, there were 100,591 Europeans, of whom 15,342 were miners.
