Transvaal, in South Africa, is extremely
rich in mineral deposits. William Young
Campbell, president OF the chamber OF
mines Of johannesburg, who is now in
London, says that iron, copper, coal, silver
and gold are found everywhere in the re-
public. Thus far the mining OF gold has
received the most attention. This metal

known as the Rand field, south of Pretoria

To Blow Up the Iron Gates.

A German syndicate has recently been
engaged in preparing to undertake the
clearing of the Danube waterway by
blowing up the iron gates BY interna-
tional agreement it was settled at the
time of the treaty of Berlin that when
the time came Servia should give up the
quarries on the banks to whatever COM
pany was charged with the work at a
nominal valuation. Several hundreds
OF thousands Of cubic meters Of stone arc
needed in order safely to divert the course
OF the stream during mining and blast
ing operations.
Upon arriving at Belgrade. however,
the German representative found that
the government had anticipated him by
hastily putting up all the riparian quar-
ries to auction in numerous small lots,
and knocking them down TO their radi.
cal friends. Consequently the company,
instead of having to deal with the
crown, finds itself face to face with n
swarm Of individual proprietors, each Of
whose claims will have to be settled
separately. II is believed that the
strongest representations will be made
to quash the Iocent auctions, and the
company will probably ~ backed by
