Gold in the TransvaaI.

During the first four months OF 1904
the Transvaal mined 1,192,514 ounces
of gold, worth $24,651,143. During
corresponding period in 1903 the out
put was 831, 1928 ounces, worth Sl7,-.
387.532. The total product OF gold
in 1908 was worth $61, 265,57O. If the
rate of production of the first four
months of 1904 is maintained, the
Transvaal will yield in 1904 at least
S77,864,000 worth of the yellow metal
i'm either words, as much as in the
years just preceding the Boer War
The introduction of Chinese labor is
expected to put the colony in a posi-
ton to maintain the production tlg-
ures of previous years. English en-
thusiasts are looking for future out
put in the Transvaal of $120,0OO,@OO to
S150,000,O00 a year.
What such a production must mean
to the worlds workshops is hard to
realize. It will mean vast increase
in South Africa's purchases of dyna-
mite, explosives, steel, quicksilver, cy-
anide, zinc, electric and other pumps,
steel hammers, stone-boring machines,
pipes, etc. Foods will be wanted in
vast quantities. 1t will take year
or two to get the increasing ratio on
a reasonable basis. What the effect
is to be on the stock Of the South
African companies can hardly be ar
rived at by means of the information
at hand, and no very great optimism
ought to be INDUCED in. The stable
concerns are now high above par, and
the others may never reach par, even
with increased production.

About Voices,

Fine voices, it is said, are seldom
found in a country where FISH diet pre-
walls. Those Italians who eat the
most fish Chose of Naples and Genoa)
have few fine singers among them.
The sweet voices are found in the
Irish women, of the country, and not
of the towns. Norway is not a coun-
try of singers, because they eat too
much fish, but Sweden is a country
of grain and song. The carnivorous
birds croak: prain-aating birds sing.
