Gold seems to be uncertain, original,
unexpected and persuasive in it's ways as
human nature, observes John Habber-
ton in Golfers Weekly. Mineralogists
have long been agreed as to the nature of
the rocky company in which gold can
and cannot be found, yet; experts
among them continue to tramp over the
precious stuff without suspecting its ex-
istence, and recently the entire frater-
nifty of rock sharps has been startled by
rich discoveries in limestone, which has
always been regarded as entirely unac-
quainted with gold. The discoveries were
made in South Dakota, and while the
experts are wondering how to recon
struct their theories tho miners are tax
ing out rock which is very rich in gold.
This recalls the fact that the -Witwater-
and reef in South Africa, the largest
known gold deposit in the world, was
ignored by expert prospectors for years,
the rock being u conglomerate of sand
stone and quartz and pebbles, the latter
showing no "color," the sand having,
through some one OF Natures mysteri-
GUS processes. robbed the quartz of the
precious metal. Evidently the ways of
gold are a warning that science cannot
afford to put on airs.
