A Thousand Miles in a Machilla 



Each has its own Administrator and seat of 

 Government. The capital of the first is at Fort 

 Jameson, and that of the second at Livingstone. 

 An order in Council will, however, shortly be pro- 

 mulgated, amalgamating the two provinces under 

 the title of " Northern Rhodesia," with headquarters 

 at Livingstone.^ 



The population of Northern Rhodesia consists 

 of about one thousand whites and nine hundred 

 and six thousand natives, made up from more than 

 twelve different tribes. 



Railway. — The railway has been extended 

 from Broken Hill to the Congo border, one hundred 

 and thirty- two miles north of Broken Hill, and the 

 Belgian authorities are carrying it on through their 

 territory to the Star of the Congo mine, about one 

 hundred and sixty-seven miles. It is also probable 

 that a further extension to Kambove, another two 

 hundred miles, will be completed before long. 



It will have been seen in these pages that these 

 two provinces are still in their infancy. Things, 

 however, move so fast nowadays that in a com- 

 parative short time the country will be opened up 

 by traders and farmers. The Chartered Company 

 encourages commercial enterprise and bona fide 

 trading". 



North- Western Rhodesia. 



North- Western Rhodesia has an area of 182,000 

 square miles. There are nine districts and seventeen 

 postal stations.
