be no doubt either, nor that Mr. Fould
is accustomed to do business in'the way
mentioned in Mr.. Parishs memorial;
bntsgreat doubt does exist that all this
has recently happened. The mine is
that of Bambouk, situated on tho
Faleme. which empties itsolf into tho
Senegal river. This latter river is pre-
served by treaty entirely under tho
control of Che French arms, and no ships
of any other nation are allowed to en-
ter tho harbor of st. Louis, lest their
crews should penetrate into the interior.
The fabulous wealth of these Bambouk
mines have been long known, as no
fewer than four sovereigns of France
have been on the point of fitting out
expeditions to visit them. A traveller
who returned thence in 1916, said he
met ettheretwoRussian geologists who had
been dispatched by tho Emperor of
Russia, ostensibly to'compare the quail
ity of gold with that of the mines of
Siberia, but in reality to mako u treaty
with the King. He declared that tho
wealth of the country was beyond dcs-
cription, inhabited by Moors of indus.
