S. AFRICAN GOLDFIELD.
LONDON, December 28
A “Daily Mail” correspondent in Johannesburg says: Vast potential goldfields, such as to open a new chapter in South African history, almost certainly exist in the Orange Free State. Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, one of the leaders in the goldmining industry, says the fields are centred round Odendaals Rust, and that an area for intensive prospecting covers 3000 square miles. At least four great mines are foreseen, each requiring about four million sterling to bring them to full production.
