CAL. IN FIRST PLACE AS
SOLD PRODUCER; 1915
California retained first rank in
gold production in 1915, with an
output of about $23,000,000, and
was followed by Colorado, with
over $22,000,000; Alaska, with
nearly $17,000,000; Nevada, with
nearly $12,000,000; South Dako
ta, with over $7,000,000; Mon
tana, with nearly $5,000,000; Ari
zona, with over $4,000,000; Utah,
with over $3,500,000; New Mex
co, with nearly $1,500,000; Ore
gon, with nearly $2,000,000; and
Idaho adn the Philippines with
about $1,200,000 each.
In California both deep mining
and dredging for gold have been
active, and the gold output was
the largest in 32 years, and, if one
year only be excepted, the larg
est in over half a century
Colorado the output from Cripple
Creek alone increased by over $1,
500,000, and this camp was more
prosperous than for several years.
The larger cyanidation plants
w^re active, 'and the output oi
rich ore front the Cresson mine
was notably large. An increased
yield of gold also came from
Lake county (Leadville) and
many other counties. In Alaska
gold mining was generally pros
perous, though there was a slight
ly decreased placer output, prin
cipally from some of the Yukon
camps and from dredging in dis
tricts on Seward penmsma, anu a
largely increased gold-lode pro
duction, principally from the Ju
neau region, where further con
siderable increases are expected.
Nevada mines increased their
total output about 4 per cent, the
bulk of the gold coming from
Goldfield and Tonopah. The pro
duction from the Seven Troughs
and National districts increased,
but the yield from Churchill coun
ty was somewhat less. In South
Dakota the great Homestake
nines and mills were continuous
ly active and maintained their
large annual output. The Gold
en Reward, Mogul, Reliance,
i rojan and other important cy
anidation mills added to the pro
duction In Montana the gold
output increased over 20 per cent
from dredging at Alder gulch;
from siliceous ores, especially in
Fergus county; and generally
from the copper and zinc ores of
Butte. In Arizona the produc
tion from several of the largest
gold mines decreased, but the
yield of gold from copper ores
increased, and the net result was
a small increase for the state as
a whole. Activity in the Oat
man district was of special inter
est in 1915. In Utah the output
of gold increased notably, espe
cially from copper and lead ores,
which were mined in increased
qnantities.
