AFRICAN TREASURES.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE RUINS. LARGE DEPOSITS OF PRECIOUS METALS. London, June 15. The British in Matabeleland, South Africa, have made important discoveries, which prove the existence of large deposits of precious metals. In the ruins of one of the native settlements a quantity of pottery, utensils made of silver and copper, and a large collection of gold ornaments, fend nuggets of gold in their natural state have been discovered. It is held that this proves the existence in the immediate vicinity of rich gold, silver and copper fields, and efforts will be at once made to discover the deposits.
