c.1861: Estimated 'Reasonable Gold Yield' for Atrato was $2,000,000, with $20,000 in platina.
If Negroes had a little more interest, the gold gathered in situ at the basin of the Atrato would not be lower than two million pesos {$ 2,000,000}per year, with about $ 20,000 in platina, which usually is mixed with placer gold; more of what I've already said on this particular.
