eyo like a huge drawn-out mass of tin

est, or main reef, runs for thirty miles
unlnttrruptedly, gold-bearing and hon-
oycombed wl:h mines throughout.
This, even were it alone, could speak
for the stability and continuous pros
perity of tho Trancvaal gold trade. On

days ago from the capo was said to bo
between 300,000 and 400,000 worth of
