October the I'm Rus officials stated that
more than 100000 worth of gold had been
mined. and that improvements We're under
way which would materially increase the
output. This mine was worked as far
back as 1877 B. c.. and vast quantities of
gold were taken out of 1t when the Pha-
raoh of the Bible was on the throne. At
that time II is said that the Egyptian
taskmasters worked the mines with slaves

Exploiting the Gases.
The opening up of the oasas of western
Egypt is an agricultural proposition
rather than a mining one. although ex-
tensive deposits of alum. phosphates and
minerals are said to exist there. Gold,
which runs as high as 81 per ton, has
been found in the lower beds Of the phos-
phate rocks. but 1t Is not known whether
1t IS merely a local freak of nature or
whether II may expand into richer gold
bearing ore.
The oases of Egypt lie 100 miles or SO
west of the Nile, in the heart of the
Libyan Desert. There are four great
centers which have been known for ages,
and some of which were noted for their
fertility when the Hebrews were still at
work under their Egyptian taskmasters
These oases are Kharga, which lies 120

was drst built by Joseph and others that
1t was a branch Of the Nile and needed
only to be widened and deepened. The
canal which feeds 1t now is called the
Bahr Yusef. which means Josephs canal.
It begins a mile or so north of Assiout
and flows through upper Egypt. watering
the Nile valley until about seventy miles
above Cairo. when it turns to the left and
flows through a break In the hills into
the Fayoum depression. The canal is 27o
miles long. 1 have seen it where it be-

part Of the Fayoum. 1t was 4J0 miles

pie In one village, and it Is the seat Of
the Egyptian government. There is a
government doctor there and also a tele-
graph office. Many of the inhabitants
have never been outside the oases, and
they are said to be interesting to an ex

porting the latter to Egypt. The new
company expects to raise rice. wheat
and barley. as well as cotton and sisal
hemp. 1t has already planted many thou
sand date palms and large orchards of
oranges, olives and pomegranates.
The Fayoum.
The largest and most fertile Of all the
Egyptian oases is the Fayoum. It is SO big
that 1t is a separate province. 1t contains
about $50 square miles and has popula-
ton of 10000. 1t lies about seventy
miles northeast of Cairo. and there is
only short strip of desert between It and

The Labyrinth.

| the most wonderful ruins of ancient
| Egypt. There is a pyramid about five
| miles from Medinet. in which a mummy
Of an ancient king was recently found
! and there are some traces left Of the
| Labyrinth described by Strabo and othel
| travellers. The Labyrinth is said to have
been quite as wonderful as the pyramids
1t was situated on the banks of Lake
| Moeris, and was vast palace which
| had 5000 rooms, half of which were
| above ground and half below. The build
ings composing the palace were connected
| by long covered passages which inter
sected each other and wound about SO
that a stranger could not go through
them without a guide. Strabo says that
the ceilings of every room consisted of
but a single stone, and that the passages
were covered with slabs of extraordinary
| size. Herodotus, who went through the
rooms above ground, says that the struc-
| ture was more wonderful than the pyra-
| mids. and that the windings through the
courts presented a thousand occasions OF
| wonder as he passed through. Just who
| built this structure no one knows: but

temple and a tomb by one of the Egyp-

done by artesian wells, some of which

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The Jamestown Exposition opens
today, Friday. The programme will
include speeches by President Roose.
welt and Hon. St. George Tucker,
president of the Exposition.
This opening demonstrates the
new era of prosperity of the South.
When we consider that it will COM
pare favorably with any of the
worlds similar events, we are imp
pressed by the stupendousness of the
undertaking. Beside the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars, there will
be that mate hospitality which is SO
true of all Virginians, and this alone
will attract the crowds during the
six months that the gates will re-
main open.
Unlike similar enterprises of it's
kind, the buildings will not be torn
down, as nearly all of them are Of a
permanent character and will stand
for years as a monument to mark
the enterprise of our sister state.
Maryland will join hands across the
border and extend every helping aid
to make this exposition success.
This, however, is already assured,
yet it will be our pleasure to have
it even more so.
