Profitable Way

News recently received from MADAGASCAR
indicates that the island is about to Justify
the hopes which have been entertained bv
numerous engineers as regards mineral re-
sources. This statement is made by United
States Consul Brunot at ST. Etienne, In a
report to the State Department, dated De-
cember 3. Circumscribed auriferous re-
gions, said to be very rich in gold, Mr..
Brunot states, are being worked on the
eastern slopes and near the port of Manan-
gary. The gold he says. is in the form of
small nuggets or of dust taken from the
aliuv1al deposit carried down by two
streams from neighboring mountain. Mr..
Brunot says that it is supposed that the
metal Is derived from the disintegration Of
rocks situated at the origin of these streams
(at point not yet determined), and that
there will be found the principal lode AL
ready, 1t is stated, two praspectors have
discovered blocks of quartz which they
estimate as capable Of furnishing four
ounces to the ton. The washing of the all
iuvial deposit Is effected in large wooden
dish. in which the auriferous earth is placed

but for the present. sufficiently remunera.
ative. The work is mostly done by the
natives under the direction of Europeans,
as they alone can stand the rays of
tropical sun and remain in the water for
hours at a time. Traces of gold, saws
Mr.. Brunot in conclusion have been found
over the whole island.
