Transvaal Operators Looking Toward

San Francisco. Aug. 24.-f present
indications can be relied upon, the re-
cent political troubles in the Trans
vaal, South Africa, are likely to have
a beneficial effect on the mining in
dustry in California As is probably
well known, there has been an exodus
of mining engineers from the Transvaal
during the past few months. Ham
mond, Perkins and many other mining
experts who have had a hand in the
direction Of vast mining enterprises in
the johannesburg district, have retired
from the scene of the recent disturb.
ances for prudential reasons, and are
now in London. Many Of these gentle
men still retain their. South African
connections, but, instead of devoting
their attention TO African mining
affairs, they are looking for good in
vestments in other mining sections of
the world on behalf of the companies
and corporations they represent. Cali
fornia is attracting not small share Of
their attention, and, from what can be
learned from mining engineers now
here, there is disposition on the part
Of moneyed kings of the Transvaal to
invest heavily in mining properties in
this state.
