SOLE RIGHTS VESTED IN CROWN. LONDON, March 27. The new Rand gold law vests the sole rights of mining for gold in the Crown, and of base metals in the land owner.

Only whites will be allowed to trade on mines, and coloured persons will not be allowed to acquire any rights under the gold law, or reside on a goklfield, except in bazaars, location, or mining compounds.
