LEGENDARY

GOLD HOARD

DISCOVERED?

King Solomon's Mine Claimed Found.

ON A COMPANY'S CONCESSION

Broken Hill (N. Rhodesia). The long-lost King Solomon's mine, the search for which has cost thousands of men their lives, has been found in a mining concession!

This is the story brought back. to Broken Hill by a prospector who claims to have discovered the legendary workings while ,following a wounded buck.

For three centuries search has been made for Solomon's mine - the mine of enormous riches. from which gold in such colossal quantities was produced that the Bible tells us silver was die- regarded in Solomon's household.

Men, alone and in well-armed parties, have searched for this wonderful mine, the locality of which has been gradually nar- rowed down to a trifling matter of a 250,000 square miles or so. Arabs, while slave raiding, have searched, and in the search ¡for information have tortured thousands of natives in the hope of finding it, and adventurous Portuguese over two centuries ago travelled inland in the hope of locating it.
