The figures show what an enormous busi- ness our railroads are doing, and our progress is all the more remarkable when we remember that it was not until 1842 that the railroad was opened from Boston to the Hudson and from the Hudson at Albany to Lake Erie at Buffalo, In 1848 the progress made in railroad construc tion was so slow and unpromising that the total mileage of lines completed at the end of that year was only 5,996. In 1848, immediately after the annexation to the United States of California, the deposlis of gold of marvelous richness caused great excitement, and the first movement in the construction

THE MINING INTERESTS OF

AFRICA.

The mining interests of Africa, especially the wonderful gold and diamond fields, are partic 'ularly interesting at the present time owing to the unsettled conditions in the Transvant. Mich of the recent rapid development of Africa, especially in the southern part, is due to the discovery and development of

extremely valuable mineral deposits, particularly gold and diamonds, and incidentally it may be mentioned that the iron, coal, an other mineral deposits of South Africa give great promise when the wealth-seekers find time to turn their attention to industries which are less speculativo. N

The gold and diamond mines are wonderfully profitable. The Kimberley mines, which are located in British territory just outside the boundaries of the Orange Free State and about 600 miles from Cape Town, now supply about 98 per cent of the diamonds of commerce. The existence of these mines was unknown prior to 1867, and in the brief period since their dis- covery $350,000,000 worth of rough diamonds have been taken from the Kimberley mines, and the stones were easily worth double this sum after cutting. This enormous production would have been greatly increased but for the fact that the owners of the mines in the vicinity formed an agreement by which the annual out. put was so limited as to meet, but not materi- ally exceed, the annual consumption of the world's diamond markets. The supply is so plentiful and so comparatively inexpensive is the work of diamond digging that the industry has almost ceased in other parts of the world since the South African mines entered the field.

Equally wonderful and promising are the great "Witwatersrand" gold fields of South Africa, located in the South African Republic better know as the "Johannesburg mines." The strip of territory a few hundred miles long and a few miles in width to which this name is applied was, a few years ago, considered.
