MORE GOLD ON THE RAND There seems to be little doubt now that geophysicnl prospecting methods! really have discovered the extension' of the famous gold reef on the Rand a; South Africa. This Witwatertrrand has already yielded over four billion dollars worth of gold since it: orig- inal discovery in 1886. For years :hildren in the schools of South Africa have been taught that the Witwatersrand was merely the northern rim of a great basin of gold. None knew where the southern rim would be found or how deep the basin; went into the earth. The cause of the': trouble was a geological fault near tel neighborhood of Witpoortje. At this fault the gold reef disappeared. , Last October faint rumors reported that the extension of the Witwaters- rand had been found forty miles be- yond the known fault. Those Cl,'i'),e'i.i) have turned out to have been authena tie. The discovery is credited to Dr.: R. Krahman, who was graduated re- cently from Charlottenburg Univer- sity, Berlin. Using geophyaical meth- ods and a magnetmeter .orrh??,fette,te changes in a magnetic field), Dr. Krahman started tracing a layer of the mineral magnetite which lay under the gold reef already known.‘ He reasoned that if this magnetite lay under the gold-bearing ores al- ready there it might also be under whatever extension existed. Following‘ the magnetite layer mile by mile he came at last to the reappearance of gold. - . u.“ -5 OLn:_ roe-ant tum.

The palace will cover six acres and stand on a 120-ft. hill overlooking the capital of the State. It will contain: A circular swimming bath sixty itet round. Ballroom. Theatre built on modern lines to hold 200. F A baLhroom to every suite of rooms --dorty in all. [49 3T A zenana, or part of the house for the women of the family, with a two- acre walled garden overlooking the city. Cn- The palace will cost 2300,o00 (about' $1,200,000). It would have cost much more in England, but labor and ma terials in Jodhpur are cheap.. There will be accommodation for fifty women in the zenann---but the maharajah has only one wife. The lemma will be used for her relatives and guests. As the women .3 this State are kept in strict purdah--no man may see them-all the rooms in the palace will re accessible from the lemma by concealed galleries, so that the wo- men may look on without being seen. Everything in" the palace will be in accordance with the latest tseientiiie suineiples-telephoney. electric light, l modern bathrooms, with hot water.
