Cabourer's ho is

to work ten hours a day under-ground in the deep levels. Nor is there any hint that during his three years' stay in the Transva al, he will be kept in a compound, from which he will not be allowed to stray, on his Sundays and holidays. Nor that he will have no opportunity to better his posi- tion. The day he reaches the Rand he be- romes an underground "ininer, and that he remains until the day when he is put in a railway truck to repatriated. Now the Chinese coulie is not entirely unenterprising or without ambition, and he likes to be able; to wander about and chat with his fellows and look at things when he is not working. Every Chinese coolie ja gambler at beart, and in on the look-out for a lucky chance to rise; on the voyage out he will be considering how he will

It is no use to rely too much on the protection that the Inspector of Immi- grants can give to the coolies. The magi- strates at Johannesburg are men connected with the mining industry, and to the Govern. ment of the Transvaal the chief anxiety is that the mines shall be made more re- munerative than they are. The condition of the coolie will possibly be a secondary .consideration.
