Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography vol 1 page 804: Much information is afforded regarding gold reefs of every formation, and this is supplemented by a number of sketches which intelligently illustrate the subject, and instructions are given showing the novice how to " pan," or " sink a shaft," and do many elementary things in his research for valuable minerals.
