a few bridges would do for this
country more than any thing else
that could be introduced. With a
few thousand dollars invested this
way, we could surely soon build up
our country. With good roads,
would come an increased value of
land along with them, and better
opportunities to improve our farms
and far less expense in getting
what we have to sell to market.
Then our towns would be tbronged
with prosperous trading farmers in
winter time as well as SIMMER,
whereas they now cannot for the
bad roads and high water. We
must have better roads, and a few
bridges or we must retrograde.

HEAVIEST PRODUCER.

In Precious Metal Output.

Uncle Sam in his gold product, as in
10 many lines Of industry, heads the
list az the great gold producer in the
world. South Africa for awhile equaled
II 1t did not exceed us in its output Of
the yellow metal, but had to fall back to
second place ~ the result Of the Boer
war. She is, however, still in the race
and II looks AZ II we shall have to fight
hard in the neal future to hold the
lead.
This gold production Of ours goes
steadily forward and has, as month by
month and week by week the quota is
added to our golden harvest, carried us
safely over many u hard place in the
road to prosperity when without it our
industry and progress would oft have
been checked.
The enterprise Of people, their ir.
resistible force, their intelligent direc.
ton is constantly opening up new min.
ing districts and prospecting for new
fields in the vast unexplored territory
known to give promise of returns more
or less substantial to the hardy miners
who shall uncover the golden deposits.
California, Colorado, Idaho and now
Oregon have for years contributed their
share OF the gold output. which, since
- 40" has added no many hundreds of
millions to the wealth Of the nations.
The riches Of the Comstock will
doubtless find a counterpart in some of
the new gold fields yet to he opened.
Alaska has not yet told its tale OF hid.

ANCIENT MINING
mi SMELLING.
Supposed to be Where King
Solomon Secured His
Treasure.

Rhodesia, or British Zambesia, ranks
among the chief collaborating countries
OF the world. The ancients mined and
carried away enormous quantities Of the
precious metal. but under the scientific
mining systems Of the present day their
operations will be greatly surpassed.
In the recently published work on the
ancient Ruins OF Rhodesia," the
authors, Messrs. Hall and Neal, en-.
dcavor TO discover who the ancients
were and whittier the gold went.
Perhaps Rhodesia wal the ancient
land Of Ophir, the land Of the mystic.
rious liking Solomon's mines." but the
theory il strongly combated by some in.
v%estigatUrs.
The ancient gold workings are the
basis Of modern workings. For every
ten square miles Of Rhodesia there was
one ancient mine that il, there are 49,.
600 old holes, which means that q
%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 Il war probably
wrought into the crown OF the Queen
OF Sheba and filed the coeffrs OF
Solomon.
The ancient smelting.furances 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. The
Innings Of the holes are covered with
specks Of gold.
When the first lining became worn by
the heat, a fresh lining Of cement Of an
excellent quality. which has out lasted
time, was smcared around on top OF the
old lining. One can take an old lining, |
split of the layers with u knife, and
find gold splashes in abundance.
Apparently the ancients wasted gold
lavishly. Gold has been found In large
quantities In the form Of pellets ~ large
rs buckshot in the vicinity Of the
furnace, and also thrown away in the.
debris heaps outside Of tho old build
ings.
Tho tools Of the ancient workers which
have no far been discovered include a
small soapstone hammer and FURNISH.
ing.stones Of water. worn rock, to which
gold still adhercs.
There are evidences that the ancients
carried on al extensive industry in the
manufacture Of gold and
utensils. Thirty.iiv thousand dollars
worth Of gold ornaments have been
taken in the last five years from the
ruins Of Matabclcland alonc.-Journal
