LOndon-lt is known that several

There are various forms OF gold

So far she has eluded the vigilant
secret service" specialists and is liv-

Ever since the opening of the gold
mining industry on the Rand" said a
detective connected with the case, lit
was found necessary, so soon as things
had been made more or less ship
shape, to get the government TO pass
a special law to deal with gold stealing.
In spite of this, the percentage of loss
by theft grew greater. The abstrac-
tiOn of gold became a fine art. IL was
not stolen by the professional thief.
but. more often than not. by trusted
employees in the mines.
Most of the gold was. and is, stolen
in the form of amalgam, plated in a
highly scientific manner either by
scraping the metal from the battery
plates with a small knife, or fishing
for it with thin copper wire"

process-block system is quite new to
him. The copper wire idea was de-
tected by sudden desire of mine Kaf-
frs for copper wire. They would give
as much as three pence an inch for
it, and the game had been going on

When new law was made to deal
with receivers special detective
force was told off to look after the new
department, and the early experiences
of the hunters of the Illicit gold buyers
gave cause for much laughter at their
expense, for the chief detective and
some of his subordinates were among
the easiest dupes of a gang of clever
Americans, who introduced a version
of the American gold brick" swindle
with "uproarious success"
From this it was no more than a
step to the process block idea, the in
ventOr of which almost deserves the
fortune he has made, because of the
simplicity of his scheme and its un-
blushing effrontery.
The difficulty Of a capture in cases
of stealing and smuggling gold is
tremendous. Mr.. Blackburn declares
that 1T is probably unique in the his
tory of crime detection that no con-
viction has so far been obtained
against any person for actually steal
ing gold or amalgam from any Rand
mine. One suggestion has
been that the offenders were too high

even the most cynical disbeliever in

Where did It come from? What is
