AN AFRICAN KLONDIKE.
One Years Profits at Rand Are
 S135OOOOOO


 $135, 100000.
 From the Boston Transcript:
 One hundred and thirty five mil lion dollars worth of gold in twelve months. That is the output of that particular siXty-miIe tract of rocky country in South Africa known as the Rand, which was the scene of terrible strike warfare recently. and it is calculated that the end of the century will not see the gold mines exhausted Since gold was first dis covered in the Rand abOdt thirty years ago something like $1, ,795, 100000 worth has been extracted from 208,- 000,000 tons of rock torn from the bowels of the earth. The working expenses, of course, are enormous, and some idea of the labor involved may be gathered from the fact that from the $1S5OO0000 worth of gold produced in 1912 nearly one-haIf was paid in wages to 23,418 Europeans and 193,341 negroes.
 These remarkable figures concern ing the vast industry of the Rand gold fields are provided by Sir Lionel Phillips, one of the shrewdest and most successful of the giants of the gold mining industry, and equally i'm teresting in the study which he un- folded during a lecture recently of how gold came to be deposited in the Rand or WitWatersrand, to give the proper geogra phical name.
 Many years ago Witwatersrand was really an inland sea enclosed by mountains, which were gradually torn down by the. action of the wat CT. and rocks deposited to a depth of over forty-siX miles. After this a volcanic upheavaI took place, dis persing the sea and breaking up the country into fragments
 At the time this upheaval took place" said Sir Lionel, the whole of the earth's surface was cracked, and through these cracks came up pIutonic rocks-molten rocks-and after them came up fumes-goId in gaseous state These rocks brought up solutions of vapors containing the gold. No doubt these vapors were chemically associated when they came up, possibly with chlorine. The chlorine would cling to the gold, but as it has a greater affinity for iron, and that deposits the gold free ill the rock.
 the gold was deposited which has the greatest scientific weight is the the ory of impregnation. The beds which have been deposited there ages before were permeated by these fumes or solutions and. the chlo rine having taken the iron and freed the gold, left the gold in the rocks as we find it today
