tne throwing open of the claims by

correspondent. Here Is his account:
.Seventy-one days ago a Dutchman
named Van Heerden was given a H.
cense to prospect for diamonds al KILL
arney. He probably grumbled at his
loneliness. Today there are countless
nundreds scrambling and snarling over
the $4,000 claims which q beneficient
government allowed to be thrown open.
Ine story OF this great rush to the new
fields has provided q picturesque
touch to the fascination Of South Arr
can life.
Ever in hustling. johannesburg. the
citizen has a thought for the Wealth

hourly crawling, from all quarters
across the countryside for the hoped for
Eldorado. There returned to the Rand

upon the orbitless asteroid which
floats in its trackless space and goes
by the name Of luck, because nobody
knows what else to call it.
Luck doesn't distribute itself with
common fairness, and 1t seems to have
little Judgment or sense of proportion;
but, X you analyze 1t and abulate 1t,
you may find that it more frequently
visits those who can use 1t tina those
who are too lazy to do anything with 1t.
Many folks are asleep when luck
knocks at their door, or are too tndo-

Luck may call upon you. but it won't
come In unless you go out and grasp
1T, pull 1t toward you, tic. it down.
Cursing your luck won't make luck

Don't depend upon 1t. Forget 1t. Mind

There is no postoffice, and therefore,
no means of telegraphing or telephon-
ing. Whisky fetches $40 a bottle, and
because of that, tea is the chief drink.
The majority of the diggers seem to
be Dutchmen, and they know the
game These Dutchmen have their
wives and children, and, as in the days
Of yore. they came in wagons. and they
live in wagons. There are about IL
policemen, and-sad reflection-they
make no bones about saying that they
will soon want more comrades, as the
Rand 'stiffs' are coming in. The DO
licemen are the most dusty of the
population. Hour after hour they pad
around in six inches of fine dust. and
they haven't much time for washing.
ut was estimated on Tuesday that
some 1000 souls were on the fields. The
first rush was participated in by about
LOO diggers. Their wives and families
would represent an additional $3.50
persons, and natives number about 1000
