KING SOLOMAN'S MINES

Rhodcsia. that province of
British Africa lying btween the
Zahbezi and the Limpopo rivers,
has considerable deposits of gold.
The ancients mined and carried
away enormous quantities of the
precious metal. but under the
scientific mining systems of the
present day their operations will
b. greatly surpassed.
1t has been thought that
RhOdcsia was the ancient land of
Ophir. the land OF the mysterious
king Sulomon's mines" but thi,
theory is strongly c0mbated by
some Investigators. The ancient
gold workings are the basis of
modern workings. For every ten
sIlare miles of Rhodesia, it Is
stated, tharc was one ancient mine
that j.. th're are 1000 old
workings - which means that q
stupcndous wealth was dug out of
the earth before the days of Cecil
Rhodes. Mach Of this wealth
must have gone to the north and
east. II was probably wrought
into the crown of the Queen OF
Sheba and filled the Golfers of
Solomon.
The ancient smelling furnaces
are said still to be of easy rccog-
milton. They are sunk into the
