It’s been nearly 200 years since the famous California gold rush of the late 1840s, but mining property is hot once again, at least in one area of Southern California. Record-high gold prices have driven demand for mines in the Mojave Desert, the Los Angeles Times reports. “It’s a modern day gold rush,” entrepreneur Sean Tucker told the Times. “People are snapping up claims as quickly as possible.” The physical dangers of mining remain, as do financial concerns, though real estate agents offer tempting promises like “You only need to find about 18 ounces to make this property pay for itself!” As the Times notes, plenty of gold is still being found, but as one truck driver-turned-miner noted, nothing is simple – or guaranteed. “It’s not easy,” Rudy Salazar said. “But I hope it pans out.”

Federal health officials have concluded their investigation into a multi-state E. coli outbreak tied to contaminated slivered onions previously served on McDonald’s Quarter Pounder burgers. The outbreak, first identified in October, sickened 104 people across 14 states, leading to 34 hospitalizations and one death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration linked the outbreak to yellow onions distributed by Taylor Farms, which immediately issued a voluntary recall of the onions. McDonald’s followed suit by removing the recalled product from its restaurants in affected states before finding an alternate supplier of slivered onions for hundreds of its restaurants. “The CDC and FDA confirmed that their respective investigations into E. coli at McDonald’s have been closed,” officials from the fast food chain said in a statement. “Federal and state officials have repeatedly said that our immediate actions in October made any risk to the public ‘very low,’ and the risk has remained very low since then.” Of the 104 reported cases, nearly 99% of the patients interviewed said they had eaten at McDonald’s before becoming ill, and 84% specifically recalled consuming

With a major oil refinery in Wilmington and Carson scheduled to close next year, Los Angeles County officials are looking to shore up resources for hundreds of workers who will be left without jobs. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a motion Tuesday asking county staff to work with local partners such as the city of Los Angeles and the South Bay Workforce Investment Board to develop a plan to provide hiring fairs, training and other job placement resources for affected workers. Oil giant Phillips 66 announced in October that the century-old complex, which sprawls across 650 acres and produces about 8% of the state’s gasoline, would cease operations late next year. Its closure will affect some 600 employees and 300 contract workers that keep its operations running. Supervisor Janice Hahn said at the meeting that more than half of the affected workforce is Latino and includes skilled workers such as operators, welders, engineers and safety compliance experts that would bring “years of specialized training and certifications” to other jobs. She said they should receive support to help them make the transition
