ANCIENT GOD MINES IN AFRICA.
Proof That Extensive Operations Were Carried On Many Centuries
Ago In British ZambesiL

Rhodesia, or British Zambesia, ranks
among the chief gold-bearing countries
Of the world. The ancients mined and
carried away enormous quantities of
the precious metal, but under the sci
enti1c mining systems of the present
day their operations will be greatly
surpassed. In the recently published
work on the Ancient Ruins of Rho
desia," the authors, Messrs. Hall and
Neal, endeavor to discover who the
ancients were and whittier the gold
went.
Perhaps Rhodesia was the ancient
land of Ophir, the land of the mys-
terious king Solomon's Mines" but
the theory is strongly combated by
some Investigators. The ancient gold
workings are the basis of modern
workings. For every ten square miles
of Rhodesia there was one ancient
mine, that is, there are $4,000, old
holes, which means that q s%tupendous
wealth was dug out of the earth be-
fore 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 filed the Golfers of
Solomon.
The ancient smelling furnaces are
