"i In " the days when the f Dutch
made their great mistake In deal
ing in real estate -somewhat un
der "pressure by England," It must
be admitted Surinam was known
as a golden land of dreams, where
eTen the Indians were said to wear
armor of solid gold ' when ; they
went to battle. - For centuries ; a
-moderately large amount of gold
has been mlnel erery ear ?n Sor-

ried on by Individuals end not by
any large groups of capital Now
the Dutch there talk ot the possi
bllity of a "Klondike, in the trop
ical Jutigles to which gold seekers
shall rush" from the ends of the
earth, and of ''thlsr possibility " a
