nothing more or less than that Fura was
Ophlr, the Biblical and of gold, the
source of Solomon's fabulous riches.
fura, the good doctor commended, was
the native corruption of the word Afur.
by which name the Arabs of the six
teenth century knew the district. Afur
was the Sabaean, or South Arabian, form
OF the Hebrew name Ophir. AS DIR. Peters
afterward assured a representative Of
Reuters agency. for the information of
the world at large, he had ample proof
that the Fura which his expedition had
discovered and explored in the summer of
1899 was the Ophir of the Old Testament
the Ophir whose incalculable wealth is
referred to in the First Book of Kings,
IN both Books of Chronicles, in Job, in the
Psalms and in Isaiah.
A chief, the doctor said, gave him
valuable information regarding the posi-
tlOn OF ancient ruins and workings, which
he at once investigated. Going to the spot
indicated he found ancient ruins of un-
doubted Semitic type. Fura itself he
round to possess a formation of quartzitic
slate n diorite. between Which gold
reefs We're running. The ancient work.
ings which he ound were not only sur
face workings, but there were also, he
declared, shafts and roads hewn into the
rock.
How the shareholders must have pal
pitalted when they read in a report DR..
Peters presented to the directors THAT
When the Portuguese arrived in East
Africa about the year 1900 the Arabs
called the district Afur, and told the
Portuguese it was the Ophir of the Old
testament. For a glance at I Chronicles,
chapter xiv, verse 4, would show them
h David gave to overlap the walls Of
the temple 5000 talents of the gold of
Ophir, and upon the authority of F. w.
Madden, M. r. A. S., author of History
of Jewish Coinage" ETC., they would
know that a talent of gold was worth
&c. OO.
Here, then, was ELS, 900, 900 worth of
CORD from Ophir, and the inexhaustible
nature of the supply would be ap-
parent when they pursued their Biblical
researches to find, in I Kings. chapter tx,
verse 70, that there was brought from
Ophlr to Solomon 420 talents of gold,
equal to a modern value of e. 500, 0OO, and
that again, in II Chronicles, chapter will,
verse IL, mention is made of another dip
by Solomon into the Ophir mines to the
extent OF $50 talents of gold, or E2, zoo, 900.
Blu by now cold shivers of doubt may
have succeeded to the first warm thrills,
for a year has passed since the wonderful
discovery was made, n two years since
the company was formed, and no millions
OF pounds, nor hundreds. nor tens, nor
even units have yet come the way of the
expectant shareholders.
But instead come unexpected whispers
that what purported to be King Solo

years old, but just a mere ordinary col
lection of sand and rock hills.

DR.. PETERS and
KING SOL0M0N'S
MINES.

This is a story quite on the modern
literary lines, for it ends with a note Of
lnterroga alton.
1t begins with the scene of DR.. Carl
Peters, the German explorer, rummag-
ing about in an old German castle a few
years back. .
In this ancient Teutonic schloss DR..
Peters came upon a musty volume, to-
gether with a quaint old map, pub
lis1hed in France in 1719 or thereabouts.
This work and map, according to one
OF DR.. Carl Peters associates, dealt with
the Golngs of the Portuguese 200 years
earlier in the country bordering on the
Zambesi, and are to form the key to the
Whereabouts of gold mines in the heart
of Africa. The course of the Zambesi was
shown on the map roughly, but accur-
ately, and on the south bank of the river
appeared Moun Fura. Now, concerning
Mount Fura, a thirst for science and a
thirst for gold had already bred in the
good doctor certain suspicious.
So he set to work, 1t is recorded, in
systematic fashion, to get all the works
he could find on the subject. He is
credited with possessing a wonderful
mo and of being capable of recol-
Letting minute details for years after
ward. Some Of the old writings thus
kluIlteQ up went DdCk 10 the seventeenth
century, and for two years was the trail
followed up, says an admiring ~chronicler,
through the dim and dust strewn realms
Of centuries old bookland.
The recent works were studied, too,
and at the end Of two years, in July, 1898,
the German raveler promoted in London
a comrany-the DR.. Carl Peters Estates
n Exploration company, limited-for
the purpose of purchasing properties and
rights which had been acquired by him
in Southeastern and Central Africa, and
for the conduct by DR.. Peters of a we'll
equipped and carefully selected expedi-
zion to the district where he hoped to dis
cover Mount Fura, and to test his sur
misses about that mysterious locality.
The vendors took $4,000 Ell shares in
part payment, and the expenses Of this
expedition and sufficient working CAPT
tai YOU be provided, said the pros
pectus, by the issue Of 25, 900 shares.
Well, the expedition, with DIR. Peters
ct it's head, and the clews afforded by the
old writings and the old map in constant
use, duly discovered the mountain OF
Fura by the middle of 1899, and DIR.
Peters was convinced his cherished hopes
were Well founded. Those hopes were
