Like most other inventions, the Gold Ship is a development. A gold dredge was used on the Magdalena River twenty years ago; the device was further developed several years later in New Zealand; it was brought almost to perfection in California; at the present time, a dozen machine shops, scattered all over the United States, are rivalling one another in turning out a more and more perfect dredge. The home demand for these machines is so urgent that but few have as yet been shipped abroad; yet several of them have already gone to South America and several more to Europe. The present rate of out-turn is about one machine per week; in the course of a few years it will be one per diem; in ten years it will probably be ten machines per diem. When this takes place, and perhaps before it, the worlds production of gold, even should the quartz mines yield no more than at present, will be two million dollars a day. When, during the sixteenth century, the mines of America threw upon the world a vast and unlocked for supply of the precious metals, the result was to impart a sudden and tremendous stimulus to production, invention and discovery. The Halcyon Ages dawned; and Europe rose at a bound from penury, ignorance, and retrogression, to comfort, enlightenment, and progress. That such may be the bright future before us of today, nothing seems wanting but to let the Gold Ships pursue their eventful voyages in peace. FIG. I. SPECIMEN OF LOCOMOTIVES BUILT AT EPEKNAY. .
