Great ElIiptical Temple at Zimbabwe. c. S., Investigating the great ruins on the spot, and the Rhodesian railways found themselves compelled to build a branch line from Victoria to Zim- babwe, because not only men of science, but also gold seekers and tourists are flocking to these weird buried cities of the African jungle from far and near
 For years explorers in the region between the Zambesi and Limpopo rivers brought home strange tales of how the natives told them they were trespassing in country full of mys. 'tery and awe, land of ancient peo- ples who toiled extensively for gold 5000 years ago.
 The strange thing is that Mir. Rider Haggard in his King Solomon's Mines" and "She" appears to have predicted this amazing discovery in Rhodesia. It is now beyond doubt that the ancient gold mines are here: but more remarkable still, the buried city of immense antiquity is here also. as we'll as the lighter skinned native race with Jewish characteristics, out. D lined in She"
 Great zimbabwe, as we know now, is the buried city, and the local Maka- langa or People of the Sun" are the lighter skinned native race. with dis 'tinctly Jewish traits. All over south ern Rhodesia are scattered the most extensive gold workings known on earth; and 1t is thought beyond doubt that at a conservative estimate they furnished s375,oo0.OOO worth of gold for King Solomon's temple.
 There are many other more recent workings, mined by Arab colonists of the middle ages. and also by the Portu- guese in the sixteenth century. This extraordinary find in the African jun gle lies in Mashonaland proper. at Q point 250 miles west of the ancient port of Sofala, on the Indian ocean. It was undoubtedly the metropolis of the ancient goldseekers and furnishes the most perfect and extensive monu- ,ments of prehistoric age in the form of Titanic walls, towers and temples. which suggest architects and builders at least equal to those of the Pyra- mids.
 To-day the six-foot python crawls in and out of the stones fallen from the walls of the temple; bright-hued lizards bask on the conical tower; and bluejays. doves and honeyoirds find a welcome shelter in recesses of the mighty walls. And these, here and there, are cracked and riven by hugo forest trees, clad with orchids and fes- tooned with lichen.
 The valley is dotted with tents and men are chipping off scraps of quartz here and there and washing and toll. | ing as for dear life.

WRESTLING GOTCH WILL
 NOT MARRY
Wants to Meet the Russian Before He Tackles the Marriage
 Game : Barnes Lost.

Des Moines, May 1S.-Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of Ameri- ca, will not be married, as has been reported. He has ambitions along other lines.
 In Des Moines yesterday he stated that if he is not successful this year in getting a match in this country with Hackenschmidt, the Russian lion, he will next year go to the old country, throw down the gauntlet and demand that the wrestler meet him on the mat for the champion ship of the world.
 T do not like Utah as a place to live," said MT Gotch, "and I would certainly have to go to that city if I made wives of all the girls whom it is reported that I am going to marry. l am not going to marry. I am going to remain single and stay in the wrestling game until some good man succeeds in putting me out of it."
 Samson of Holyoke won the han dicap wrestling match in Temper ance hall, Holyoke, last night, over Jim Barnes of Springfield, middle weight champion. According to the terms of the match, Barnes was to throw Samson twice within an hour or lose the decision and the side bet of $100. Samson was also allowed the additional concession of winning if he threw Barnes once within the hour. Barnes scored the only fall of the match, throwing Samson in 30 minutes and 30 seconds on a half Nelson leg hold. Barnes had Sam son going three or four times for what looked like a fall, but was un- able to score, and once or twice it looked as if Samson would score the fall he so much desired.
 The match was witnessed by about 450 persons, the largest crowd which has turned out since the recent re- vival Of wrestling in Holyoke. It was the toughest go seen so far this season, as we'll as the most strenu- ous, and aroused the crowd to high pitch of excitement. Joe Acton, the English champion, who is to wrestle Barnes in Springfield Wednesday, was referee, and at the close chal- lenged Samson to a catch-as-catch- can match. strangle hold barred, for not less than s100 a side. Samson refused the offer, but stated that he would consider an offer from Acton for mixed style match.
