The riches which Aladdin is rcputed to
have been able TO call forth by the aid of
his wonderful lamp were IL mere baga-
telle as compared with the enormous
wealth which is now being developed in
the gold regions OF the Transvaal Repmb-
lie. Within the past year or two the in-
vesti..ations of trained scientists and the
systematic working OF the gold bearing
deposits have not only proved the TRUTH
fulnrss of the published stories, but have
established the TACT that the Transvaal
Republic contains the most stu1pcndous
gold deposits in the world. From the
Transvaal mines last year was produced
Sl0O,OOO,OO0 i'll gOld-tlle largest amount
ever produced in one year from a single

South Dakota Beaten in Its Case
Against Bonds,nan McChesncy.
South Dakota has been bea EN- in the
$1,000 suit against Tayl0r's bondsmen in
the New York supreme court.
A demurrer interpOsed by the state of
South Dakota to tile answer set up by
John I. Chesney to the complaint of the
state in an action to recoyor OH a bond of
William Walter Taylor, the defaulting
treasurer of the state, was overruled by
Justice BeeEman of the supreme court.
A bond of $3.50, ,0Oo was given by Taylor
when lie became treasurer to serve for tile
wears 1873 and 1894. There was balance
of $3t7 ,U32, which lie should have turned
over to his successor, but which he did
not. There were seventeen men on tile
bond of Taylor, incluling John I. Nc.
Chesney. All the bondsmen were sued
in South Dakota and IL judgment for the
full amount of tile deficit was entered. II
was then discovered that by the laws of
South Dakota the treasurer was only re-
quircd to give bond of $780, 900, and after
much sacrifice the bondsmen raised this
amount, which was paid on the judgment.
The action was brought in New York to
recover the remaining $l00,0O0 liability,
and McChesney fought it. Heset up that
all the claim that the state could have
against him had been satisfied by the pay
ment OF $3.50, 1000. On the argument OF the
demurrer interposed to this part OF the
answer il was claimed that outside Of the
state Of New York the majority of the
authorities hold that no further liability
is incurred by bondsmen than the amount
fixed by statute for bond, although a
higher bond be given. In New York
even the counsel for the plaintiff admitted
the law is not settled. The state of South
Dakota contended that the second defense
was not we'll taken. Justice Beelman
decided that it was proper defense.
