No Great Rise in Gold Output in 1921 Says Mint Report
1921 gold production in the United States totaled 4,875,479 ounces valued at 49,105,600 dollars while silver output reached 50,864.3 ounces. The draft notes that 1922 should show little if any increase, due to high costs and reduced development activity. California led gold output, with contributors including Alaska, Arizona and Colorado, and Utah and Montana headed silver. Mining costs rose, especially in labor and power, with California wages peaking in 1915 and power and powder costs remaining high.
