Framed Print of The Buffelsdoorn Mine: Dynamo-Room, 1895. Creator: A. Betton
The Buffelsdoorn Mine: Dynamo-Room, 1895. Gold mining in Klerksdorp, South Africa....the Buffelsdoorn Estate consists of an extensive farm and a mining area equal to 258 claims...Buffelsdoorn, by reason both of its extent and the grade of its ore, must remain, probably for all time, the premier mine in that portion of the Transvaal...the Buffelsdoorn Company is about to acquire some 30, 000 acres of adjacent ground, embracing a mining area equal to about 2500 claims, and thus to raise itself at a bound into the position of one of the most extensive corporations of its kind of which South Africa can boast. The acquisition of this property will not mean, as some have feared, an indefinite postponement of dividends. On the contrary, the scheme which has just been adopted involves the provision of a working capital of £250, 000, and no time is to be lost in turning these new resources to profitable account. It is expected that the development of the property will be phenomenal, even for the Transvaal, and that 140 stamps, instead of 70, as at present, will be pounding away at the end of the present year, returning 10, 000 oz. instead of 5000 oz. of gold per month'.
