  ordinary Method of no

Be Used.
Prof. R. Plate, f‘~»an of the
School of Mines, of C ilumbia Uni-
vgsity, was recently asred whether it
would ba possible for B iers to destroy
bdonth African mines. His answer
'seas follows:
Iam asked whether it is possible for
\l¢Boers to destroy the gold and dia-
Bnd mines in their connirr, and in
tlieevent of such destruction of the
lines what the edeet on values would
bs. The question of value is one
tobe answered by an economist or
inucier. For a century gold has been
quoted at 820,67 an ounce. There is a
deal more gold in eirculition now
than was eighty or ninety years
yetthe value han not changed.
I would prefer not to pale
nn opinion on this branch of the enh-
ject.
As to the possibilities of the Boers
destroying the mines, as they threaten,
'I mn only say that complete derrui-
tion is not within the scope of possibil-
ity. A portion of either the gold or

diamond mines could be renderel in-
operative. but not the whole. 'The
total length of ground occupied by the
gold mines in the Johannesbnr; dis-
trict, ior instance, is a number of miles
-thirty or forty perhaps. All the
mines in this territory are not operated
of course, but there are at least enough
working mines to preclude the possibil~
ity ol the Boer: pntting the entire sec-
ftiou _ot country, as it wore. out of
I commission. '
The mines are scattered ever so much _
ground that it would be impossible for
any number of men short ot n
'vast army to destroy all. Such an
_for yenrsto come; but even then the
boiler plants and engruel could hs.
destroied, yet the mines in que tion
¢a»-.,559
attempt te fire  :hafta or-to
destroy the hoisting- machinery. I have
already intimated that because of the
vast areas covered the blowing up pro
cess would only be like the flea biting
the lion. '
Meanwhile, the mines are owned and
managed principally by Englishmen,
Americans and Germans. The white
men, the skilled laborers employed by
these companies, will be loyal to their
einpleyers,aud will defend their pro-
perty. 'l‘he Kahirs, of course, could not
be depended upon. At the first sign of
the hostile Boere’ approach they would
scurry.
To sum np, when the Beers set about
devising ways and means for carrying
out their intentions of destroying the
greatest gold mines in the world they
will find that they are attempting the
impossible.
