Getting one hundred cents value on the dollar in tire

The notion formerly entertained was that
Ophir was somewhere In India. When It

the location of ophir had at last been found.
But archeologists are now Of the opinion
that Ophir was a seaport on the south coast
Of Arabia-that 1t was merely an entrepot
from which gold was distributed over
Arabia, Palestine and Egypt.
One should realize that the gold mines
of Rhodesia were not worked only BY King
Solomon. They were operated by the Ar

EXPLORERS backed by British money
II are digging up the ruins Of King Solo,
mons ancient citadel in South Africa, the
center Of the mining district from which
his huge stores Of gold were derived. They
are the most mysterious, as well as the
most interesting, Of all memorials Of an
hquity, and are known today, in the native
language, as the Great Zimbabwe-meaninE
'tHere Is the Great Kraal."
The Great Zinbabwe was in Solomon's
time a large and populous city, Is may be
JUDGED from the fact that its recognizable
ruins cover an area Of more than three
square miles. Doubtless its extent was
much greater, fnasmuch a outside Of this
area are scattered remains of many i'm
portant structures, and mounds hundreds
Of yards in circumference which have been
found to contain conical towers, traces Of
walls, etc.
The city. was formidably fortified, and
must have been garrisoned By regiments Of
troops. In the middle Of 1t rose an isolated
rrsnite "kopje' two hundred and ffty
feet hirh, which was crowned By q fortress.
The latter was probably In its day the
nixhtiest stronghold in the world, an un-.
s.saiiable citadel, its south side being de-
Tended By ninety feet Of sheer precipice,
vhfle massive labyrinthine walls rendered
approach to the summit possible only through
narrow passages easily blocked.
The mines Of King Solomon were worked
Nv a multitude Of captive Negro slaves,
and all Of the gold output was brought to
the Great Zimbabwe to be converted into
insots for shipment. It was thence that
caravans departed eastward for the seaport
now called Sofala, journey Of two hundred
miles, carrying, under armed guard, 'gold'
ivory, and other precious merchandise
destined for Palestine and Arabia.
The city stood In the midst of hostile
country, and for that reason the site
chosen for It was strategic. Along the road
leading from 1t to the seacoast were placed
Mt regular intervals Of few miles small
granite forts, ruins Of which are stin to
Be- seen, and which were manifestly designed
.ss stopping places for the caravans.
