Rich African Gold Fislds.

Baltimore Sun: The announcement
is made through the London Times of
fabulously rich gold fields in the Brit.
ish possessions in Africa. For several
years past it has been known that cer-
tain parts of Africa, and notably of
East Africa and in Mashonaland, were
gold-bearing. and that the gold mines
had been worked there in remote ages
by people or peoples whose national
ity is unknown or simply conjectured.
The ruins of the famous hill fortress
Zimbabye, with its inclosing wall, and
the discovery there Of crucibles still
containing particles of gold attest this.
as well as many other similar ruins
of less extent scattered over
East Africa. Some mines have
been opened in these districts. Their
yield, however. with the imperfect
working of the few English in that
country, was small, but in one OF the
mines which was most promising Lord
Randolph Churchill, while on his visit
to Africa, took stock. And now we
have n report of the astounding discov.
cry of u gold field eleven miles long so
rich in the precious metal that mines
! hare already scec opened there and
the experts who have made careful in
vcstigations testify that there is gold
in sight Of tho value of f3l5.00o, 900" /"
or, in American currency, counting IS
TO the pound sterling, of Si.-
$4,000. 900. 1t Is also said tina I
ssthe deposits are of q nature
that presents no great difficulties to
the working of them, and that the en-
| tire amount can be placed on the mar
kct in about ten years, provided the
most approved methods of extraction
are employed and proper facilities for
transportation arc furnished
The story appears to be almost in-
credible, vet the Times accepts il as
true and asserts that it shows "a pros
pcct OF such an addition TO the worlds
stock of gold during the years immedl.

Of the calculations Of the economists

may bc readily understood when Il is
computed that the entire amount Of
Australian gold put upon the worlds

mines of that country have been
worked has not been much more than

Shook the snow all OF the tree

dude,
With his arm out OF place a. they
sweetly slude.
But her bowling died and vague dis

And quart Of snow filed the back OF
her dress.
For the reins were held in a careless
hand,
And the basest drum in paradc's band
Went boom bum boom And one cold
day
A tandem left with an upturn sleigh
Alas for the dude; three cheers Tor

And hurrah for the chestnuts that ran

The saddest words at her fathers door
Were these; "You needn't come back no
