Gold-Hunting Still Goes On.

The search for gold is going on very actively all over the globe, and with very remarkable results. Much more will probably be mined in California yet than has been taken out since pioneer days, and all up to Alaska and eastward to the Kocky mountains there Is plenty of average ore and even hope of rich strikes. Unquestionably there is much uncertainty in prospecting, but we know a great deal more to-day of the successful conditions than when ground was first broken in California and Australia. On the Randt, in South Africa, rich reef ore has been struck at a depth of over 2,000 feet, and many well-known veins have been traced and identified at that depth. Difficulties of working must be overcome when there is wealth in sight. In western Australia an extraordinary discovery of gold deposits has been made, raising expectations of richness to the highest pitch. This discovery comes after the man who found gold in Hew South Wales had declared from a special examination that the colony contained nothing auriferous. —San Francisco CalL
