From the gold mines of the Witwatersrand and the Free State to the diamond fields of Alexander Bay, the copper workings of Messina and the coal fields of Middelburg, the country's prosperity radiates from the nucleus of her mineral exploitations. It is therefore not surprising that the men, who, through their knowledge and skill, discovered this hidden wealth and set the huge wheels of industry in motion, should occupy an important place in the annals of our history.
