Those who are in the habit of thinking
of Mr.. Kruger as mere farmer may be
surprised to hear that he is a millionaire
a least once How many times over that
nice round sum has accumulated in his
savings it is impossible to say.
To begin with. he has the handsome sal
airy as President of e 600 : year, together
with a coffee allowance which is sup
posed to be his entertaining money, OF
three hundred a year. Being Of frugal
turn of mind, Mr.. Kruger has for many
years past lived on his coffee money. while
out of his presidential salary and ''perqui-
sites" he is believed TO have succeeded in
saving about 10000 a year.
Over and above this Mr.. Kruger has
many indirect sources of income. It has
been shown that he has very large IN
terest in the Netherlands Railway, while
he is also directly concerned in the con-
sumption of dynamite, as well as several
other fourishing monopolies. Mr.. Kruger
owns over one hundred farms in different
parts of the Transvaal. Some are pro-
duetive others ere not. Fer instance. in
the Rustenburg district many of the best
tobacco-growing farms are his, and the
lessees pay him very handsome rents.
His gold mining farms have also brought
him in a goodly amount. A few he has
sold 10 the hated Uitlander capitalists;
others he retains. or hopes to retain.
Comparatively recently a farm ne had
held for some years was floated into
gold mining company. and although his
name does not appear in the list of share
holders he received almost the whole of
the purchase price in cash. 1t is said
that many of the Transvaal Presidents
safest investments have been made in
Holland and Germany. He is likewise re-
ported TO be a heavy holder of German
cousols and French rentes.
