      speculations were made regarding the origins of the cities.
  • The absence of all clue to their origin, together with the fact that the ruins are situated in the heart of the country reported by the natives to be the richest of all South Africa in gold, and the discovery of old surface gold mines in the district in which they stand, have not tended to diminish speculation regarding them.

  • his ivory trade was an Egyptian Government monopoly disputed only by slave-hunters. In Emin Bey's province this monopoly is now, and has always been since 1874, continuously asserted. If such a route is opened up it will be of very great value indeed. Ivory is worth nearly l,000i. а -ton in London, and even now (without a railway to Stanley Pool) the cost of carriage from Stanley Pool here is only 40/. a-ton. A railway is pretty sure to he made to Stanley Pool from the sea before long.
  • most valuable ivory trade,
  • send down ivory by this route enough to pay the expenses of his Government; and it is highly probable in that case that a Company can be started here to trade in ivory on its head-waters, and to take over the task of governing and protecting Emin Bey's province, if Egypt consents to delegate her authority to such hands.
