OLD AFRICAN GOLD MINES.
Evidences of Extensive Operation
Carried on Many Years Ago.

Evidences Of Extensive Operations
Carried on Many Years Ago.
Rhodesia, or British Zamhasia, ranks
among the chief gold-bearing coun-
tries of the world. The ancients mined
and carried away enormous quantities
of the precious metal, but under the
scientific mining systems Of the pres
ent day their operations will be great
ly surpassed. In the recently published
work on the Ancient Ruins Of Rhode
sia," the authors. Messrs. Hall and
Neal. endeavor to discover who the an
cients were and whittier the gold went.
Perhaps Rhodesia was the ancient
land Of ophir, the land Of the myster-
ious king Solomon's- mines" but the
theory is strongly combated by some
investigators. The ancient gold work.
ings are the basis Of new workings.
For every ten square miles OF Rnooe-
ala there was one ancient mine, that
is, there are $1,000 -old holes, which
means that stupendous wealth was
dug out of the earth before the days
of Cecil Rhodes. Much Of this wealth
must have gone to the north and east;
it was probably wrought into the crown
of the Queen of Sheba and filled the
Golfers Of Solomon.
The ancient smelling furnaces are
still easy to recognize. They are sunk
into the floor. The furnace blowpipes
are made of the finest granite-powder
cement, and the nozzles OF the blow
pipes are covered with splashes of gold:

NAPOLEON OF AFRfcA.-In 1840, one
senussi, who declared himself of the
true blood Of the prophet. established
a mosque on the border OF the desert
at the back Of Tripoli. He gained great
fame as q worker Of :miracles, and his
house OF prayer became the center OF
an annual pilgrimage and Of a new
sect, says Pearson's Weekly. {
AS the number of his followers be-
gan to attract attention Senussi moved
back slowly into the desert, marching
from oasis to oasis until he reached
the unexplored depths Of the Jehoub.
There he at last established his head
quarters and initiated craft with Sc
cret signs and symbols.
In 1859 he died, and his SON succeed
ed him, and carried on his work. The
latter imported cannon and rifles and
ammunition, drilled an army and be-
came the absolute leader Of the desert
tribes.
The Mahdi arose and killed Gordon.
When he had established himself IN
Khartum he called on the Sheik Sc
nussi to become his ally, but the latter,
who knew that sooner or later the
British would retake the Soudan, re-
fused.
When Kitchener came the Khaltfa
renewed his request. Again senussi
replied in the negative, but he received
and took care Of the refugees from the
Khalifa's defeated army.
Today his power. is enormous, un-
dreamed Of by any except statesmen.
His aim Is to drive the white men from
Africa, and to found gigantic Mos
lem empire with himself as Its aNa-
poleon.
He has already an army OF over lo,-
900 trained men, and modern rifles come
to him by the thousands through GER
tain port in the peninsula Of Barka,
on the Mediterranean. His mokaddem,
or prophets, pervade the continent from
Morocco to Abyssinia, and If Senussi
makes up his mind to war, the result
will be the greatest struggle that At
RIGA has ever seen.

Toward the close Of the year 1873,
the army on the northwestern frontier
was almost destitute Of provisions, the.
roads were impossible and we did not
know what could be done. Among
other things proposed to remove the:
pressure upon US, q seine was directed
to be purchased and sent up to Lake
Huron-to catch whitef1sh. The quar-
.termaster purchased seine and the
whitefish were caught abundantly,
which was matter Of vast import
ance to the soldiers. The account was
sent on, and what do, you think was
the decision Of 1t by the accounting Of

run in the month Of November, and.
therefore, that the United States had
been cheated. [Laughter.] The good
officer had lived all his life upon the
Potomac, and had heard Of shad. which.

thought that no fish could run in No

parts OF the country, says the London

to be OF unusual size. What Is an un-

THE season of catching colds upon us.
The cough and the sneeze and the
- nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic eatarrh the most
common and dreadful of diseases. is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold. which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gem
orally starts in the head and throat Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
AT last the person has a cold all the while

nose. hawking. splitting. frequent clearing
OF the throat. nostrils stopped up. full feel

The best time to treat catarrh Is at the

cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh.
