When be has do eattle for the starchase of it send wife ho goes home to his Kraal to live happily ever after, and a new "boy" has to be trained for the work.

The mines have solved this pro blem by bringing in "boys" from Portuguese East Africa, who are atendier workers; and in 1927 there were 195,000 natives, mostly im migrants from the cast, living on he Rand; and here, as in the diamond fields, they are largely kept in compounds.

It was soon found that the irritating particles of quartz flying from the steel of the hand drills were breathed into the lungs of the driilor, causing a kind of consump tion called "miners' phthisis so that elaborate methods of moisten ing the air to keep down the dust

had to be installed.

Another difficulty is that of hoisting ore and lowering and raise ing men from the grent depths. Some of the hoisting engines work at an enormous speed, one at the City Deep moving 3,700 feet a mimate, or at the rate of an ex press train. The elevators in sky scrapers are slow affairs compared with it. Since the hoisting is done with a steel cable wound on a drum, it is evident that the weight of the cable itself comes into play, and it is found that this limits the depth for a hoisting plant to about 4,500 fect, four-fifths of a mile For mines deeper than this there must be two hoisting machines, one going to this depth and another below it for the greater depths.

Mr. May complained that on a Sunday evening while his bar was full Mrs. Potts made an accusation against him in regard to her daugh ter Kitty, who had been in his em playment as a barmaid.

The defences of Mrs. Potts were that the occasion was privileged, that the words spoken wore trae, and that Mr. May had suffered no special damage.

The judge. In summing up, said that either Mr. May or the girl had committed perjury.

Women who are not virtuous," said the judge, in many cases are also not truthful." But the jury had seen both in the witness-box; and it was for them to decide where the truth Iny. He did not say the. girl's evidense required corrobora. tion, but the jury ought to scrutinise it very carefully."

DON'T LET INDIGESTION AGE YOU.

Many a young person looks old and taggard through indigestion. The continual pain and discomfort combined with the inability of weakened stomach organs to extract nourishment from food are such terrible strain that they drive al trace of youth away. If you ever have indigestion, no matter how light-beware! Get to the root of the trouble before itbecomes chronic. Bisurated Magnosia will do this quickly.

The Mark of the Gold.

The many square miles of con glomerate mined from the banket rede far below the surface are crushed in huge mills and the pow-. dered rock, after elaborate treat- ment to remove the few penny- weights of gold it containa, is piled up as mountaingus heaps all around the city, changing the character of the landscape completely: Pyramids and flat-topped tablelands of palo grey silica rise in all directions ngsinst the iky-line, monuments to. the world's thirst for gold, trans forming, the bare plain into a COURS try of strangely shaped hills which the traveller locks at with astonish- ment. They will remain after the mines are exhausted and Johannes- bung sinks back to a country town supplying the needs of scattered Boer farmers, each on his thoumod neres of semi-arid innd whero cattle. sheep and goats make a spare living.

It Will Bo Worked out!

Like all mining regions, the Rand will be worked out, but the process will go on gradually; and it is pro- bable that for a generation at least it will be an important gold pro- ducer. It seems at present to be about at its climax: but several great mines are already worked out, and one or two others a barely paying their way. Mudi may de and on improved methods of min ing and treating the ores; for a lowering of expenses by dollar per ton would add immensely to the workable are feserves,

In 1826 South Africa produced 300 tons of gold, valued at ap- proximately £45,000,000, mainly from the Rand. No Inter statis- ties are at hand, but recent years have probably kept about at this. level. If you go home siá Cape Town you anny gen a ton or two
