A board of buried wealth not aa

that supposed to h u w l> ie n -e e -
treted by Lobengnla, king of the
Mata be ie in Bpu»t Africa, before
be met bin de» I It at the hunda of
the British. This treuuure ia said
to eonsiat of gold, ivory and pre
cióos atones. I t was brought into
the limelight of public notice not
long ago by the arrest of a Dutch
man named John Jacobs. He ar-
tire d i t Bulawayo, toW qomn-
tbing of his pisas, was pot lato

sisee been deported.
' Lobengula succeeded his father
as king of the Matabele in 1870
and boldly opposed European cir-
itiaation. He made Bulawayo his
capital. A fter the diacorery of
gold in his territory la 1872, Por

the insolence of the British South
Africa company, he attacked the
English. He waa terribly beaten.
Ilia capital waa taken and in his
flight be himself was killed.
John Jacobs, the treasure seek
er, was a school-teacher. He
claims to have been private secre
tary to King Lobengula and that
in thia way he learned where the
treasure was hid, The Bulawayo
authorities, Ip ^ e ve r, discovered
that he bad a bad record. Hence
his deportation. Jacobs is an el
derly toan, bearing evidence of
long exposure to wind and
weather. The treasure is still to
be found.
