covery Of certain relics and ruins
proved clearly that both the Hebrews
and the Phoenicians had penetrated far
into Africa thousands Of years ago. and
itswas this that suggested the idea that
the tabled mines might possibly have
been located IN that part Of the world.
DIR. Peters was one Of the first per-
sons to advance that theory but the
fact}that he had supported IL called 1t
Immediately to the attention Of the
world OF scholars. For years DR.. Peters
had been one OF the most prominent OF
the many German explorers. Until
about two years ago he had been Ger
man High Commissioner In east Afrl-
ca, but when he was accused OF having
needessly slaughtered natives on more
than one occakion the Socialistic party
made such a fuss that he was called
home and placed on trial. His eonyic-
ton followed and he was discharged
from the imperial service.
Upon his dismissal DR. Peters left
Germany and went to London, where
he informed the public that ne believed
that he was on the track OF the great
King Solomon's tnines. A company
was AT once formed TO aid him In his
work He left for Africa. and until a

MANY PROOFS
Before DR.. Peters left England. near
ly two years ago. he had acquired geo
graphical information that led him To
believe that Fura was near the eastern
entrance of the Lupata Gorge. There
he found il.
In order to understand the fun i'm
portance of this discovery to DIR. Peters
1t is necessary to note that when he
was last In England he had stated that
he was of the opinion that this country
that was known as fura was ac-
tually the old Ophir spoken of in
the Bible. lie believed that the
name "Fura" was n native cor
ruption of the word "Afur." by
which the Arabs Of the six
teenth century knew the dis
triet. and that the word "Afur"
was the Sahacan. or South African
form of the Hebrew word "Ophlr"
