The sensational report, printed in

 Besides the lees which have been discovered on the eaast there exists in Rhodesia an eHo .aous quantity ct old workings" mines which were worked in ancient times, but have long since been abandoned. By whom these mines were worked will probably remain forever mystery. From old pottery and tools which have been found 1t is evident that these old workings were exca. vated by or under the direction of men of knowledge and intelligence si- perior to those possessed by the present inhabitants of the country. Gold was extracted from these mines by smelt- ing, many furnaces having been found and alongside of them ancient molds in which ingots were cast Several ruins have also been discovered in Rhodesia the magnitude and workmanship of which prove that men of superior civilization either inhabitated or else occupied this Ialt of the world a few thousand years before us. To them ara probably due the ancient workings whick have been found. With the primitive instruments at their eom- mand these miners of a past age were only able to scrape the surface of the gold bearing reefs, so that the quan. tity of gold which has been taken from the mines hardly affects their value while they are a precious indication to !he pros pector and enable him to test the reef below the surface, and, as rule, the site of most of these old work iLgs seems to have been selected by competent meu.
