mainder is composed of teachings from this body. Ten thousand tons of ore have already been taken out of the pockets near the reef, and it is calcu lated that the main body has more than 100000 tons of zinc, and that there are 100000 tons more above the water level. which occurs at 16 feet below the surface.
 In addition to these two hills there are five others here-all of tn em mighty nuggets of lead or zinc rising above the surface of the plains. Indeed the managers of the mines tell me they have enough ore in sight to keep them busy for five years if they were smelt ing at the rate of 100 tons per day.
 Among the Miners.
 I have spent some time here going about among the native miners. There are 500 at work under the charge of 22 white foremen. The natives are Bantu negroes from the tribes of the vicinity. They are small in stature, but they are said to be good workmen, and they furnish the mineral regions with

 now building which will connect them with the Atlantic in Portuguese West Africa. The capital stock is only A,0OO,- GOO, but the possibilities of the company are far beyond those of any other of the great mining syndicates.
 A Continent Roofed With Copper.
 These mighty deposits form copper roof to the lower part of the African continent. They lie on the height of land between the Kongo and the Zambesi, and in that correspond to the enormous min eral deposits on the height of land Of our continent. The great ridge of North America comes to its top just above Lake Superior A little farther north the ground begins to fall toward Hudson bay On that ridge are the nickel mines of Sudbury, containing the greatest bodies of that metal known to the world little farther east are the immense silver deposits of cobalt, the metal lying in veins on the very top of the rocks and so close to the surface that you can polish it with your heel as you walk over it. Below on both sides of Lake Superior are the enormous deposits of iron belonging to our steel trust. and also the famous Calumet and Hecla cop per mines, which were for a long time the richest of their kind in the world
 A similar wealth of minerals exists on this great ridge of South Africa. North ern Rhodesia is peppered with copper and iron. Here at Broken Hill are hills of lead and zinc which I describe further on ax tbts letter and the syndicate which owns them has found 5000 different de-

 posits of valuable minerals in this col ony. The ore seems to grow richer and more abundant near the top of the ridge and over in the Kongo possessions the whole country near the border is highly mineralized. I am told that the natives there have been mining copper for gen. erations past. They have smelted the ore and have wrought from 1t their hoes, spears and axes. Some of their imple- ments made by the natives are shown here. Both handles and blades are made of solid copper. have a copper axe before me as I write,. and a copper hoe stands by my side.
 On the Kongo watershed the copper lies right on the top of the ground. The mines can be worked like quarries. and they will probably be handled with steam shovels when the railroad from Portu- guese West Africa is finished The ore used by the natives comes from little holes which have been dug in the noun tains. They have their own furnaces and do much of their smelting with charcoal One of the chiefs has large number of men and women at work, and is produc- ing number of tons of copper a year.
 Speaking of the copper being on the height of land, while I was at Khartum in the Egyptian Sudan, I learned that there are rich mineral deposits on the ridge which forms the watershed of the Kongo and the Nile, and it may be that a wealth of copper and iron exists there.
 Copper, Gold, Tin and Iron.
 So far the minerals found on the zam- besi-Kongo ridge are copper, gold, tin and iron. There are large deposits of stream and quartz tin. At Bulawayo I was shown tin nuggets the size of wal nuts which came from the Kongo Free State. and also bars of pure tin which had been smelted there. At the present time only the smallest of furnaces can be used, as the only motive power is men, and the pieces of machinery must be reg ulated by what two men can carry. It will be impossible to do much with the mines before the railroads are construct ed The most of the gold which has so far been taken out comes from placer de- posits. The grains range from dust to nuggets the size of ones finger, and they are absolutely pure. Something like $900,- GOO worth has been washed out.
 As to the copper, it is of high grade. The average is from 13 to 15 per cent pure, and there is one place at Katanga where the ore runs as high as 35 per cent copper, and there is said to be any amount of 1t which runs 20 per cent

steady supply of cheap labor The wages which are now paid are only cents per day. to which must be added the cost of food and shelter, bringing the labor charge for each miner up to 20 cents
 These natives have a village of their own some distance from the European quarter. It consists of a hundred or So clay huts running around a court of five acres. Each hut accommodates five or six natives, and not a few of them have their wives with them Their food is cornmeal each man being al- lowed three pounds per day. The meal is made from Kaffr corn and it Is ground by portable engine right at the mines.
 White Settlement In Mld-Africa.
 As to the white officials and their assistants, they live quite comfortably, away off here in the heart of the black continent. Their town Is right in the wilds and a half days ride will give them almost any kind of big game. They have comfortable bungalows built of brick and native huts made of limbs chinked with clay from the white ant hills nearby. They are matched with straw. I understand that these native huts are more comfortable than the | bungalows. They have only holes for windows, so that the air can always blow through. Their roofs are cone shaped and so thick that the sun can not penetrate them. They rise Is feet above the walls and extend out over them so that there Is no danger of the rains coming in. The bungalows have roofs of galvanized iron, which make tn rem hot at midday.
 Many of the native huts are equipped with hammocks, beds and easy chairs. Some of them have other little huts nearby, which serve as kitch ems and as the homes of the black servants. Com paratively few of the miners board at the hotel. Several have their wives with them, but they are housed In the bungalows, which are surrounded by gardens. I understand that the climate Is healthy and that one can live quite as well here as in the mining regions farther south.

brOhen IN. w. tNhouSSi"' HAVE you heard of the mountains of copper which are now being X x developed just above here, in the heart of Central Africa? They cover ter ritory bigger than the state of Ohio, and they consist of two great belts 200 miles long. So far more than 100 copper mines have been discovered, and the mining en- gineers say that there are already more than 2,O00, 900 tons of copper in sight. They estimate the value of the ore exposed at over s1,O00, ,0o0,OOO. In the same regions there are tin mines running through belt of more>tha 150 miles. The tin is high grade, carrying the value of $l2O to the ton, and that in sight is estimated at se. GOO, GOO. In addition to this there are gold mines there which are now yield ing 1000 ounces month, and the gold carries platinum and palladium of high grade.
 The Tanganyika Concession.
 These wonderful deposits are in what Is known as the Tanganyika concession, a tract of country in the Kongo Free State just across the Rhodesian border. They belong to the King of Belgium and a syndicate of English capitalists led by MT. Robert Williams, who was practically the discoverer of the mines and who or ganized the company eight or nine years ago. MT. Williams became interested In the mines of northern Rhodesia and he got from Cecil Rhodes the right to locate 1000 mining claims with the proviso that the Chartered Company of British South Africa was to be entitled to 35 per cent of all the minerals found. MT. Rhodes was induced to give the concession be- cause he wanted a steamboat on Lake Tanganyika to enable him to push his Cape to Cairo railroad scheme, and I am told that MT. Williams furnished the boat. Among the first deposits discovered were those of the Kinshanshi copper mines, in Rhodesla, not far from the Belgian bor- der. These have already been developed to the deptlAof 400 feet, and 1t has been decided to erect smelter there which in about two years will be yielding several million dollars per annum. In prospect ing about Kinshansh Mir Williams got the idea that there might be important finds over the border. He took his min ing engineers and went on into the Kon- go Free State and there found these enormous deposits which promise to rev. olutonize the copper markets of the world He then went back to London and formed his syndicate. A concession was gotten from King Leopold by offering him sand certain Belgian capitalists 55 per cent of the stock. Since then the mines have been partially surveyed and a railroad Is

that 1t is impossible to travel rapidly or to examine the surface of the ground. It is only when the rains are over that the prospecting begins. The grass, which is soon parched and dry, is then fired, and the flames sweep over the country, burning everything close to the ground. The fire scorches the bushes and trees and makes the earth black. It thus ex- poses any outcroppings or rocks and en- ables the prospectors to see the various formations. The streams are first banned and any minerals found are traced to the mother lodes.
 The Broken Hill Mines.
 Take, for instance, these great mineral deposits at the end of the Cape to Cairo road. They lie right out on the prairie The land is almost dead level, and with the exception of a few hills that run up to a height of less than 100 feet there is no sign of minerals. The most of these hills are so low that they cannot be seen at a great distance, and they are usually covered with grass. They rise right up out of the plain-like mounds, each inde- pendent of the other. There are seven
 
 sist of great bodies of zinc and lead. Take hill No. l, over which I have just gone with the miners It has at the base diameter of about 300 feet and 1t rises to the height of a four-story house. It is pear shaped, rather than round, with the lower half of the pear below the surface. This mighty pear Is composed of nothing but lead and zinc ore. Two cross cuts or tunnels have been run through 1t on level with the plain, and there is nothing but lead or zinc all the way. The lead in the main tunnel Is 5S per cent pure, and the zinc runs over per cent the whole containing high values throughout. By means of a diamond drill the mine has been tested for 100 feet below the sur face and the drill is still in the ore. Bor- east and northwest have disclosed ore equally rich.
 A Little Zinc Mountain.
 After leaving the hill l went with MT. Donald, the mine manager, to an- other about a half mile distant over tho plain. This is known as hill No. 9. 1t is 90 feet high, containing about four times as much ore above the surface as the hill I have mentioned. Its ore is almost altogeth CT zinc. the main body containing S5 or 40 per cent of that metal. A wide vein or reef takes up the greatest part of the hill. and the re-

A of considerable romantic
interest has just been added to the
museum of London.
Nearly 5000 years ago a lady of
high rank called Henti- Metik, lived in
the city of Thebes. She was beauti-
full, pious and cultured, and a priest
ess of Importance in the temple of
the Egyptian god, Amen-Ra.
Here was a live of ease, and music
and small duties. Having royal blood
in her veins she was one Oh the i'm
portant persons in the temple and her
chief duty was to sing in the procession
to her god. She was artistic after
the custom of the Egyptian ladies of
the higher rank. she gave much of
her thoughts to the assigning of her
coffin.
Henti-Mekit, high priestess of the
temple of men Ra, was buried in the
city of Thebes l040 b. G. For near
" 5000 years her coffin was undis
the Greeks and Romans, and finally
the English came, and she knew moth
ing of the fall of the Egyptian EN-
pire.
Only a few days ago she was brought
to the British museum, and now she
is labeled 400, 00I in the catalog. All
around her are priests and scribes and
incense bearers from the same temple
of Amen-Ra. In her life her
royal rank would have put her far
above them, but now she has been
brought all the way from Egypt to
lie for centuries in the same room and
be looked at inquisitively by people
of another civilization.
