VI.—Gold at Knysna and Prince Albert, Cape Colony
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In 1895 the author visited the Prince Albert Goldfields, and later the Millwood Goldfields in Knysna, and has had the subject constantly before him till quite recently, when, in reviewing the whole question in connection with the geology of the region, which he has now worked out under the auspices of the Geological Commission of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, he was able to come to some definite conclusions. The gradual building up of convictions on a subject like this, as facts became clearer with increased knowledge derived from the reports of prospectors, the progress of the Survey, and the access to literature bearing on kindred questions, led to the acceptance of certain general principles, which the author has thought worth while to state in definite form for criticism. The peculiar points in the occurrence of the precious metal in these localities cause them to rank high as fields for research, if not for general enrichment of the inhabitants of the Cape Colony.
