A SWAZILAND DISCOVERY.
[Special to Press Association.]
LONDON, Apbil 17.
News has been received that a number of extensive cave3 showing ancient workings have been discovered in Swaziland. The workings are exceedingly rich, and good authorities believe them to be the mines from which King Solomon obtained vast quantities of gold. [Gold has previously been discovered in Swaziland. This native State, which has an area of 9000 square miles, lies between the Transvaal, Zululand, and Amatonga. The country is mountainous, stretching along the Limbomo range, with richly fertile valleys, and "valuable fields of gold and coal." The Swazi, a warlike section of the Zulur, were England's allies in the Zululand campaign.]
