California Gold
 Mining Reaches
 Its Lowest Ebb

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Gold mining, an industry which virtually California into existence, has reached the lowest ebb in the history of the state, Fletcher Hamilton. state miner aiogist. announced here recently after a tour of the state.
 "One appears to be travelling in the wake of a pestilence," MT. Hamilton said "in visiting the mining districts where the industry was founded and from where natures golden harvest has been poured forth for the past seventy years.
 Towns and whole counties are be- ing depopulated. Mines are being al lowed to fill with water and mils and reduction plants are being abandoned to the clements"
 Hamilton pointed out that gold pro- duction had decreased because the price of gold has never joined the upward rush of other prices. The gold miner, he said, receives no more for his product than he did fifty years ago.
 Passage of the McFadden bill be- fore congress. providing for an excise tax of S10 an ounce on new gold used in manufactured articles, was advocat- ed by Hamilton as one means of stimulating gold production. The tax would be given to the gold miners, according to the bill.

MILITARY POLICE HALT RUSH TO
 OIL. YUKON

VANCOUVER, B. C.. Dec. IA. - A squadron of Northwest Mounted Po- leo, fur-clad and patrolling on snCw shoes, is holding back frenzied oil p-ospectors at Fort McMurroy, to prevent tthm from risking their lives on the 1000-mile trail to the fabulous fields opened up at Fort Norman by the Imperial Oil Co.

 Last winter concluded a period of such prosperity for the Indian trap pers that they have neglected to ac- cumulate thh usual store of winter food ond famine certainly would at tend any influx of fortune-hunters.
 The Fort Norman gusher not only taps what is believed to be vast res ervoirs of oil, but the product is of higher grade than any hitherto dis coveted in Canada. There are about 20 whites at the scene of the strike, ond claims have been staked for 15 miles up and down stream from the big find.
