FORTUNES are now being made out of
California gold mines that were aban-
doned few years ago as not worth
working. 1t is said that majority of
the most profitable mines of the state
to-day are in the so-called played.out
camps and that few of the new dis.
tricts opened in later times have held
out we'll. This development is partly
due to discoveries of new ore bodies by
deep prospecting, but seems to be
mainly Attributable to improved meth
ods OF mining and of extracting the
yellow ore. The history of South Afri-
