Kalamazoo river is keeping upits record
with the other state rivers, and its
banks are flooded for half a mile on

oAEIroRsIA,s GOLD PRODUCT.
Fabulous Contributions From single
State 20 the Wealth OF the world.

Expert miners an6 prcspectois predict
that the new South African gold fields. OF
which the wonderful city OF Johannisberg
is the commercial center, will, wnen fully
developed, prove 10 be the richest ever
discovered. The character and extent OF
the deposits In that territory, rays the
New York Herald. certainly warrant TIE
expectation that further operations Will
place il among the most famous mining
regions in history, its output already
exceeding that Of any other district OF
similar geographic al area with the single
exception of California.
II is to California, indeed, that historians
must turn for the standard with which to
ascertain the comparative richness OF all
other gold fields. The record II that
State 70 the yield OF the precious metal
stands without parallel in the history OF
mankind. no other territory ever deyel-
ored gold deposits so extensive, so rich,
or so enduring, nor has any ever witnessed
profitable mining operations extending
over such long periods Of time
The gold produced in California since
1870 exceeds 81 ,25O.OOOOOO and the yield at
present amounts TO about 100000 year,
or perhaps 100000 more than that of
any other state. The output has de-
creased sCmeW hat in recent years, but the
decline IS due not 10 any general exhaust
ion If the territory, but 60 the suspension
OF the hydraulic mines, which Of them
selves turned out something like NDcOD,cD

These figures set high mark for bonn
ers Of the South African gold fields. They
represent a contribution to The wealth
OF the world never eqpaled by any similar
area Of territory on the face Of the earth
And California Notwithstanding the di-
version OF vast sums OF her energy and
capital TO profitable mining operations

duced in the United States
