Show KING SOLOMON'S MIKES. The location of King Solomon's mines will probably always be a subject for speculation, but recent exploration has tended to strengthen the theory that the mineral resources of Southern' Rhodesia were discovered! and exploited by Semitic Semi-tic enterprise as far back as the reign of the Wise Monarch. Mr. R. N. Hall's archaeological researches in this region during the last two years led him to connect the monumental remains of a vanished civilisation and the many old gold workings scattered over the area with the same period, and , to believe that both builders and miners were Arabian Himyanites, Jews and Phoenicians, Phoeni-cians, and that Rhodesia provided much of the treasure of David and Solomon recorded in King and Chronicles.
