Sl4,61S, 800, but there was possi-
bility that this advantage might
be overcome the next year. The
official figures give Colorado such
enormous superiority that there
can no longer be any question as
to the leader. Nearly all the rich
new strikes are made in Colorado
now. though California mines are
still steadily maintaining their

the early days when California
yielded enormously from placer
