Riches, Gold Camp in The World.

The official figure just received from
Johannesburg show that the gold out
put in the Rand district in the Transvaal
field in South Africa was about s55 ,OCO,-
600 for the first five months of 1907
covered by the report. Ii amounted to
sl20, Op0 ,Nl0 for 1906, At the rate OF
production which has been ebown from
the beginning Of January to the end Of
May this year the yield OF the twelve
months OF 1907 will be considerably
greater han that OF 1906, which was
$4,000 over that OF 1905, and the 1908
output broke all records up to that tune.
But the labor questiOD here intrudes it.
self. The Campbell-Banuerma min
istry has prevented the further importa-
ton Of Chinese coolies, who did most Of
the work in the r md mines, aud it has
decided TO send back tn their own
country the 10000 Chinese nine workers
already in the Rand. This makes the
cit uatIon for he mine owners rather
durk. They were forced to go to China
Tor laborers by the fact that none were
to be had at home. Whites refused
to do the work, aud native blacks could
10 be obtained in sufficient numbers.
There is a possibility, therefore, that
the continuous gold increase OF the past
few years will now be checked for a
time, although it seems likely, on ac-
count OF the start which was obtained
early ID the year, that 1907 will pass the
big record which was made in l9C6.
