result of Gold coast prospector's
ignorance of geology was revealed by
Sir Albert Kitsen al a meeting of the
British association.
The prospector in search OF gold dug
a hole and unearthed manganese ore
Thinking il was iron ore. he took no

A ge0iogist found the old hole and
realized the value Of the ore. The
spot has since proved TO be one of
the largest and richest deposits of
manganese ore in the world.

No score, rubber game. If dealt
and bid one no trump, what should A
dor
With two-suit hand of this type, A
should certainly bid two spades, and
then if overbid by his opponents he
should show his heart suit. If his part
ner has any help at all for either suit,
a has a good chance for game. A
double OF one no trump with this hand
would be most unsound. Never double
a no trump bid when you hold two
suffer. Bid one Of the two suits and
show the other on the second round of
bidding. In this way, you give your
partner much better picture of your
hand. A should bid two spades and Y
passes.
What should B dor Should he pass
the two spade bid or should he show his
club suit' AS bid of two spades over
no trump bid shows a good hand and
one that should be prepared for a bid
by partner. The fact that B has a
singleton spade makes it imperative
tor him to deny the spade suit if he has
any other justihable bid. The question,
therefore, is whether or not BIS seven
card club suit, headed by the queen ten,
is justihable bid.
Ordinarily such suit holding does
not justify bid, but in this case the two
factors, %, the fact that A has bid
over a no trump and thus shown
very strong hand and ~, the fact that
B has a singleton of his partners suit,
justify bid of three clubs. Such bid
cannot be hurt much and it may pre-
vent A from going on with his spade
bid. Such bid by B must be regarded
by A as most emphatic denial of the
spade suit Z will pass a three club bid
and A should also pass. He has great

bid by A is almost obligatory. The fact
that A has no spades makes take-out
by Y or bid by B OF two spades almost
a certainty SO A should show his suit
(hearts) at once. Y bid two spades, B
passed and z bid two no trump. This
bid by Z almost makes it a certainty
that Y Z have game hand in no
trump, SO there is the necessity for A
to keep on bidding to try to save game.
A oid three hearts, Y bid three spades
and B passed. Z now bid three no
trump and thus announced that his
chances for game we're very bright. A
still felt that the best defense was to
leep on bidding hearts so bid four
hearts. Y and B passed and Z doubled.
The bid was defeated only one trick;
while at no trump Y z would have
acored three odd, game and rubber. 1t
was a fine example of a justi6able
oyefDid to save the certain loss of a
game and rubber.

OF trains is greater than in former

No score, first game. z dealt and bid
one no trump. What should A dor
Should he double or pass2 If he should
double and his partner should bid two
hearts, what should he dor
Never double one no trump unless
you are prepared for any bid that
partner may make. With this hand, A
is prepared for any one of three bids,
but is not prepared for a two-heart bid.
If B should bid two hearts, AS hand is
not strong enough to bid two no trunps.
For that reason, A should pass the no
trump bid. If his partner should now
bid, AS hand looks very strong, but
until B shows some signs of strength,
AS proper procedure is to pass and
thus take the defensive.
If all pass, the question OF AS proper
opening against a no trump is an
interesting one. He has two choices,
either the ten Of diamonds or the five
of spades. The latter opening, however,
seems the better one and should be
made.
