RUSSIA TO HAVE
FIVE YEAR PLfiN ;
IN GOLD MR
_ j
According to official information
given out thru the Soviet press, a
very ambitious gold-producing pro
gram has been drawn up for the
second five-year period. In the .
fourth year of the first five-year
period the gold production in Rus
sian territory was about 52,000 kilo
grams (114,638 pounds—$13,049,320) ,
whch is said to be in excess of the ‘
pre-war production.
In this four years, about a half- (
million rubles have been expended
in developing the gold mining in
dustry in Russia with the result
that it has become a very import- (
ant branch of Russia’s industrial
activities. In 1913. of the gold won i
in that year only 20 per cent was ;
obtained by mechanical means, but
in the last year about 55 per cent
was thus won.
The gold-producing program for i 1
the second five-year period pro
vides that by 1937 the gold produc- '
tion of Russia will be as great as
the present production in the
Transvaal. In order to reach this
result, it is proposed to provide the 1
industry with 150 large dredges, 53
new' treatment plants of American
pattern 114 amalgamating plants,!
hundreds of small dredgees, etc.
