WAR HITS GOLD MINING


In almost every year since the
days OF the forty-niners, nearly sew
en- decadec ago, California. the
Golden State" led all others In
the production of gold, and its total
output to the end of 1s17-$1,s12.-
ss1,s41-is far greater than that OF
any other state; yet. according to T.
G. Yale. Of the United States geo.
logical survey, department OF the In
terror, the output of gold In the
state is now decreasing from month
To month. This decrease is due not
40 much to the exhaustion OF the
placers. ore bodies. or veins. but
chiefly to war conditions. including
the loss Of miners, for many who
formerly worked in gold mines are
now prospecting or mining metals
and minerals that are Immediately
needed to make munitions OF war
chrome, manganese. magnesite, tung-
stem, molybdenum, and copper. Gold
mining seem to be the only mineral
industry that Is losing ground in Cal
ifornia. for the value Of the total
mineral output Of the state is now
greater than ever before.
