CaIiiornia's Gold Produc...

Expert miners and prOspectors pre-
diet that the new South African gold
fields, OF which the wonderful city Of
Johannisberg is the commercial CEN
tre. will, when fully developed, prove
to be the richest ever discovered. The
character and ext It OF the deposits
in that territory, says the New York
Herald, certainly warrant the expec-
tation that further operations will
place it among the most famous min.
ing regions in history, its output el-
ready exceeding that Of any other dis
trict of similar geographical area with
the single exception Of California.
It is to California, indeed, that ~
torians must turn for the standard
with which to ascertain ths compare
tive richness Of all other gold fields
The record of that State in the yield
of the precious metal stands without
parallel in the history Of mankind
No other territory ever developed
gold deposits so extensive, So rich, or
so enduring, nor has any ever wit
messed profitable mining operations
extending over such long periods oi
time.
The gold produced in California
since 1850 exceeds 81 30, oOo, ,O)o, aal
the yield at present amounts to about
Sl3, 900, 900 year, g perhaps 81.
600, 900 more than that Of any other
State. The output has decreased some-
what in recent years, but the decline
is not due to any general exhaustion
of the territory, but TO the suspension
of the hydraulic mines, which ithem-
selves turned out something like Sl2,-
600, 900 annually
These figures set nigh marx Tor
boomers of the South African gold
fields. They represent contribution
to the wealth Of the world never
equsled by any similar area Of terri
torv on the face Of the earth. And
California, Notwithstanding the diver
sion of vast sums of her energy mi
capital TO profitable mining opera
tions for other minerals, is still 'lra-
ing out more than oue-third OF tho
gold produced in the United States.
