Mines Of Bible Days Are Located

mines Of incalculable wealth were discov-
cred by Solomon are and probably ever
| will be a mystery. There is one theory
that the early Phoenicians knew of them
thousands of years before Solomons
time, and that they passed from them into
the hands of the early Egyptian dynasties,
and so down to Solomon Again, it is put
forth that Solomon, deving into the tra-
ditions of his people and searching the
writings Of the day in his quest for wis
dom, may have come upon the secret OF
Ophir.
Queen Told the Secret
Were it not that Solomon in his build
ings displayed evidences of the possession
of vast stores of gold before the queen
of Sheba came to sit on the throne with
him, it would be possible that she brought
to him the secret of the mines, as Saba,
Of which Ophir is supposed to have been
a colony, was first under her rule.
But 1t was Solomon who developed the
mines to be one of the wonders of the
world and made the wealth of his king
dom proverbial Under his sway the city
of Ophir was built to the magnifcence to
which the ruins testify. With the beau
tiful Sheba and the all wise Solomon on
the throne the kingdom grew to unbound
ed wealth and glory.
It is declared that at times Solomon
dispatched hundreds of slaves to distant
Ophir for their loads Of gold How he
managed to keep the location of his treas
ure so absolute a secret that not even ms
most trusted ministers knew 1t is one OF
the mysteries that the reign of Solomon
has handed down the ages. The men in
charge of the gold expeditions were men
whom Solomon had sworn to secrecy, and
the slaves who bore the gold back to the
temple were led to their destination and
return by such devious routes that to re-
trace their way, would have been an inn
possibility
Traces of SoIomon's Skill
The hand of Solomon is also shown in
the buildings of the ruined city. The
ruins are Composed. of three groups Of
temples and forts, and encompass total
area of about two miles. From recent dis
coyeries it is believed that the original
buildings extended much farther. The
most imposing structure of all is an ell
liptical temple, a massive pile built en-
tirely of small granite blocks masoned
carefully together.
The Oldest portion of the walls are
fifteen feet wide at the base and eight
feet across the top. Despite the wear
and tear of centuries the walls stand now
from twenty-six to thirty-one feet IN
height The entrances to the temple are
all narrow and defended with buttresses.
The interior is divided into Enclosures or
courts, and in one Of these stands solid
pile of masonry thirty feet high, evidently
a shrine of worship.
The Interior of this temple has been
cleared of the soil which for hundreds OF
years had covered it, and now the old
floors are visible These floors are inlaid
with gold ornaments and in the dirt ex-
cavated from the ruin were found the
other golden articles that help solve the
mystery of the lost mines
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-12-18

In fact, for every purpose where men use
tin and brass and copper today the citi-
zens of Ophir used pure gold.
Zimbabwe is believed to be what is left
Of colony of the ancient empire of Saba
(Sheba), over which the beautiful queen
of Sheba ruled in the early days that Sol
omon ruled in the temple before they met
and loved 1t was in it's day the gold
purveyor of the world. To its borders
came caravansaries from the far off shores
of the Dead sea, from the Mediterranean
sea- from the shores of ancient Greco, and
from the empire of Solomon to secure the
precious stuff with which the colony was
supplied to safety.
Wealth Beyond Belief
The colony fourished, and Sheba was
the richest queen in the world Ophir, the
head city of the colony, grew to wealth
unbelievable. Down in the desert and
jungle of what is now Rhodesia a city
sprung up whose wonders of architecture
and construction are marvels to this day.
Temples of a beauty and grandeur ap-
preaching the one in Jerusalem; palaces,
monoliths and houses whose equals were
few. arose in the wilderness, conjured into
existence by the most powerful force In
the world-gold. Around 1t all there arose
a wall of granite, builded so solidly and
well that today Mr.. Hall is able to un-
cover it practically untouched by the
sands and elements of centuries.
The existence of this wonderful city Of
ruins in the heart of Africa was first
known In 1910 In that year the Arab
gold, ivory and slave traders found their
way into this region and brought back
tales which the early Portuguese heard OF
and gave to the world. Then the ruins
were still standing nearly intact but no
white man ever penetrated into the coun-
in state
then the ruins were lost sight OF until
1858, when Adam Renders an intrepid
elephant hunter, following his native
hunter far into the continent, red1scover-
ed them. By this time the sands OF the
desert, carried by the winds OF hundreds
of years, had swept down upon them anu
buried them. The descriptions given py
Renders were vague, but even tiien tiie
theory was advanced that the ruins were
the remnants of the city of Ophfr, where
were located the mines of King Solomon.
Finds the Golden City
From then on the idea that the boards
wherefrom Solomon drew the vast wealth.
with which he surrounded himself In his
kingdom were lying wasted and unknown
in the wiids of Africa became a chimera
for tha adventurous and avarieious minds
of the time to dwell upon. Freak mining
companies were organized to form expe-
ditions for the discovery OF the mines;
stories came abroad of young Englishmen
and others who started out from the
nearest outpost of civilization to hunt for
the lost mines Rider Haggard discovered
them. between the covers OF a novel; the
craze of Solomon's gold and the lost mines
was in the air.
But all was largely a matter of con-
lecture until Mr. Hall went into Zim-
babwe and delved for two years Now II
Is firmly established that the city of gold
did exist. and It's location is definitely de-
termined.

"She didn't make any reply, but went

when she unlocked the drawer the
gag reminded me of jack-fn- the-box

had been stuffed in by main force
popped out and fell on the floor with a
thud. 1t was the last deposit of about
twenty such in the small drawer, ana
all of them rubber banded, summer
