OLD SLAVE CITY IN AFRICA
Or. Peters Finds First Actual Ancient
Inscription Found In South
Africa.

DR.. Carl Peters. the German explor-
er. tells Of strange finds In South Az
rica: II was fortunate enough to dis
cover . tablet which. so far Is know.
contains the frst actual ancient In
scription found IN South Africa For
merly discoveries have not been Of
proved actual inscriptions. but Of
stones bearing marks strongly resem-
bling ancient Semitic writings. The
tablet in question was found by one
Of my men in . slave pit to the south
Of Inyanga, north Of Umtan. The dis
trict contains hundreds Of these pits,
from twenty to twenty-five feet deep.
in which the ancisnts kept their slayes.
The tablet was evidently made Of ce-
ment and had been cut in two. clearly
while It was soft, the letters ON 1t be-
ing in NO way damaged. The characters
look to me like Greek letters. but other
experts say they are Graeco-Phoeni-
clan take 1t to be the half Of an
ancient passport. one portion Of which
was retained BY the master and the
other handed to the messenger.
II also discovered near zimbabwe q
brass figure Of Pan. six and a half
inches In length. very similar to the
figures found At Pompeii. thus proving
Greek influence In South Africa appar-
emily at later period than the tablet
I have mentioned. These and other
discoveries are to my mind further
proof that in South Africa there has
been q continuation Of different civil.
zations.
1T has also been shown that during
all these periods gold mining has been
carried on. Apparently this was be-
gun BY natives Of the soil. probably
bushmen. and It seems likely that the
first Semitic people who appeared on
the scene were only traders in the
precious metal"

Chicago plant and the installation of
the large turbine engines and the
enormous motors which will furnish
power for the entire reion.
Before the work of erecting the
plant begins the grading will have to
be done and two large tunnels will be
constructed from the site of the PLAN
to the Indiana Harbor canal.
After this is done the work of laying
the foundations will begin and the
walls Of the handsome power
house will rise. This is the Northern
Indiana Gas Companys answer to the
remark of Attorney F. J. Lewis Meyer
of the South Shore line that the $780,
GOO power plant would never be built.
The new plant is to be located in
East Chicago on the north bank of the
Grand Calumet river and on the west
bank of the Indiana Harbor canal. L.
is to be the largest powerl plant in
Northern Indiana
1t is expected that the plans of the
new plant will arrive in the near flu
ture and local contractors will be ask

SAND CONTRACTS
TO GIVE MEN JOBS
Million and Half Yards of
Sand Is Bought by
Various Railroads.

Employment will be given to large
number of men in Miller within a short
time by reason of the fact that Chicago
railroads are about to place orders for
large sand contracts. calling for more
than one and one-half million cubic
yards of sand. which will mean some
thing like $4,000 carloads of the lake
shore product.
The Rock Island railroad is to order
100000 yards for track elevation pur-
poses and films along its lines, while
the Chicago and Indiana Southern is to
take in the neighborhood of $780,
yards.
An idea of the immense size of the
contract can be gained when it is stated
that the freight charges to move this
quantity of sand will aggregate nearly
100000. The Krug, Garden City and
American Sand and Gravel companies
will probably receive the contract for
the sand.
