Adding savor to the gold rush in that quarter is t! kling of diamonds which been found lying around near the gold strikes among the rocks of the Vaal river. Odendaals-Rust is the scraggly little village which suddenly has burst on the map in true gold rush fashion. The first deposits found yielded more than 62 ounces of gold, or about $2,179 per ton. Gold is not new to South Africa by any means, for the nearby Transvaal has the richest gold fields in the world, but the yield is only a quarter ounce of gold to the ton. The new bonanza skyrocketed small plots ef land in Odendaals- Rust from $20 to $4,800 in a day. Speculation is rife, fortunes being won and lost within hours. Prospectors and speculators are pouring into the area via airplane in a fashion that contrasts amaz- ngly with the fortune-hunters who after 1848 swarmed into Ca fornia via the laborious wagon trails, by the yet more tiresome boat trip around South America or through the disease-ridden swamps of Panama. Another in Canada The closest rich strike to the | United States is at Yellowknife, Canada, which is south and east of Port Radium on Great Bear site of the uranium mine that i sc vitally strategic to Canadian- 1 States defense plans, and an Wells on the Mackenzie ver, whose stock in trade is i gold—oil.

Now it is booming with the board sidewalks, frame lLotels, and glittering glamor that is reminiscent of the Klondike, caly this time the supply lines are clmost all by air and the airplane the routine beast of burden. For the prospector who likes to seek out the toughest assignment of all, the big challe are all that have made the strike accessible -at all.
