THE DEPOSITION OF GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA.* 
By S. Czyszkowski. . Translated by H. V. Winchell. 
Theories of the origin of the gold deposits in the unique 
auriferous region of the Transvaal. 
Discussions on the origin of the Transvaal deposits are the 
order of the day. As in all countries of celebrated mines, like 
that of Mokta, Bilbao and the island of Elba, sage theories 
are advanced to explain the genesis of the valuable deposits. 
Among these theories the mine operators and the specula¬ 
tors generally choose the one which is most favorable for 
their schemes and for the future of their mines, and willingly 
accept their dreams as reality.
