GOLD WAS COMMON
IN THESE DAYS

1t is interesting to note that as long
ago as 1470, the Portuguese, the orig
inal discoveries of the land, conferred
upon one OF their earliest settlements
the name La Nina (Elmina), in honor
of the quantity of gold obtained there
from. We know also on reliable au-
thority, writes John George Leigh in
the Engineering Magazine, that Cap
tain Thomas Windham on a single oc-
casion in 1851 conveyed to England $50
pounds of gold dust and that a second
English expedition, fitted out a few
years later under Captain John Lok,
brought from the now famed golden
land precious metal weighing 400
pounds and $50 elephant tusks In
more recent years, private estimates
and official returns serve only to in
crease the surprise that gold has not
been forthcoming in larger quantities.
The Royal African Company sent a
mission to Kumasi, an interesting ac-
count of which appears in a book pub
lished in 1919 by T. Edward Bowditch,
one of the delegation. If Kumasi real
ly was what Bowditch described it, its
wealth must have been astonishing, for
we are told that, at the reception of the
mission, "the sun was reflected, with
glare scarcely more supportable than
the heat, from the massive gold orna-
ments which clustered in every direc-
ton" The king sat on a throne and
was resplendent with breast-plate, ank-
let's and sword hilt, all of solid gold;
his guards wore belts and his band
played instruments Of The same preci-
Gus metal; even the most lowly of his
attendants were decorated with layers
of fine gold chains, while every native
in the town seems to have been adorn-
ed with what would now be costly
jewelry. Echoes Of the same tale have
come to us In later years; for instance,
Captain BOisragOn, after visiting the
Ashanti capital in 1892 wrote that THE
king alone was a sight to see, being a
mass Of gold from a kind of fireman's
helmet he had on to the tips Of his
sandals, which alone must have been
worth some hundreds of pounds"
