JOHANNESBURG.
The Carptrurep Gotp Town—ITs
PMENOMENAL RISB AND GROWTH,
The famous city of Johannesburg is at once both the largest and, previous to the outbreak ef the war, contained the greatest population of any city in Seuth Africa, It is situatedon the southern slope of the Witwatersrand range of mountains, from the summit of which is only a couple of miles. It is r,014 miles distant from Cape town, 483 from Durban, 396 from Delagoa Bay, aand 32 miies from Pre- toria. It may be imagined the city is well abeve the level of thesea, its elevation being 5,689 feet. Its alti- tude is greater than that ef any other town in South Africa. Outofa _ pop- ulation of overa hundred thousand that Johannesburg possessed previous to the outbreak of the war over fifty thousand were whites, sixty-seven per- cent. Of whom were of Britisk origin, there being but about six thousand Transvaal citizens amongst them.
The growth of Johannesburg has been something marvellous and forms a record in the history of the cities of the world. Othercities have possibly risen as quickly, but few there are that can show such evidence of sub- stantiality as Johanmesburg, with its palatial hotels and stately business blocks, its handsome public buildings and its suburbs with their comfortable villas and pretty gardens.
Fourteen years ago to-day Johannes- burg was not. One year ago it was full of commercial life, its streets were full of people, business aciivily was rampant, and all its industries, especially the chief of all, the mines, were im full op- eration. For months past it has been a silent and deserted city in compari- its trade dead and its streets emp- ty save for a few nativesand ‘Zarps’, or Transvaal police, merely living im the city to prevent incendiarism and disorder. It is now likely, however, that with the advent ofthe British army Johannesburg will in a very brief space of time become itself again. Je hannesburg dates from September, 1886, wher afew straggling shanties began torise along the line of gold reefs now forming the Wemmer and Ferreira companies’ ground. The ex-
son,
istence of the reef at this point was not then known, but en its discovery steps were at once taken to secure a more suitable locality, andin December,
1886, the nucleus of the was laid out. The land around previously considered of so little value that not long ago farms had ct ang:d hands for the value of a team of @xen. In January, 1895, two stands in Com misioner street twenty-two thousand pounds, and ene on Pritch- ard street at forty thousand pounds All around the undulating country ! dotted inall directions with battery houses and other buildings connected with the working of the mines
The annual output of the Johannes burg mines has reached over a hundre« million dollars. ‘Tne general conse $s! of opinion of the mining communi has of late years favored the expec'a tions of increased valne of ore with in creased depth of working, and so far as the results of one boring may be trust ed,this theory does not seem unfounde
The average return from nearly thre and a half millions of tons treated in 1895 was 13-18 dwts., aud it may rea- sonably be inferred that this yield will not diminish within a mile of the oul- crop.
In January, 1893, Mr. Hamilten Smith, assuming a working depth of 5,200 feet on the slope, a thickness of five feet anda yield of twelve anda half dwte. per ton, computed the hidden wealth of only eleven miles of the central and northern portions of the main reef series at three hundred and twenty-five million pounds, figures which he confirmed in February, 1895
In r894, Mr. Theodore Reunert, basing his calculations on a minimum length of reef of thirty miles, a work- able incline depth of one mile, am average thickness of five feet, and yield of only eight dwts. per ton, estimated the ore in sight as worth four hundred

and fifty milliom pounds. In 1895, Messers. Hatch and Chalmers reckon- ed thatthe whole of the reefs being worked, together with their deep levels, should give a total yield of seven hundred million pounds. Going a step further and adopting as probably a length of fifty miles of reef, five feet thick, workable at an inclined depth of one mile, and yielding the same _ aver- age as the three and a half millions of tons milled in 1895, the value of the ore within this area would amount to more than £1,250,000,000 ($6,250, 000,000) or six times the entire pro- duction of the State of Califormia be- tween 1849 and 1893. Gigantic as this estimate may seem, it will appear least irrational to those who are best acquainted with the probable resources of these fields, and it is possible that the future may see even this figure lagely exceeded.
Besides the Witwatersrand region. there are in the Transvaal many other gold fields, such as the Venterskroom, the De Kaap, the Steynsdorp and the Sontpausberg, the latter of enormous area.
The city of itself extends over an area of six square miles, and their are over eighty miles ef roads and streets. In the course of the last few years many outlying suburbs have been creat- ed for the benefit of these wishing to live a little way frem the town. The streets are regularly laid out and sever- al open squares exist, among which is the market square, which is the largest in South Africa. In the buildings the city is particularly rich considering its youth. They include the public offices, the Stock Exchange, the market buildings, the public library, the hos- pitaland a number of churches and theatres, besides several fine hotels and business houses. St. Mary’s Anglican Church is the largest in the city, but a still larger one, to meet in- creasing need, was about to be built. The city is well provided with public parks, including Kruger’s Park,
Joubert’s Park, the Hospital Gardens | and other breathing spaces. The trans-|
portation facilities are very good, in» cluding several lines of street cars and the railway, which runs through to Pretoria, tothe North, and to Cape- town on the south. The lighting system, both gas and electric, is good, but the water supply is poor both in quantity and in quality, besides being what Ch’ Tosians would consider very dear. The scarcity of water is owing mainly to the undermining of the earth for the mining industries, but it is ex- pected that in the future meacures will be taken to successfully cope with the difficulty of obtaining a copious supply of pure fresh water.
