New York Times 29 November 1901: Special cablegram. The Transvaal Gold Law Commission appointed to suggest amendments to it. London Nov. 29: The correspondent of the Times at Pretoria says a commission, of which Sir Richard Solomon, K.C. is Chairman, has been appointed to investigate the working of the gold law and to suggest amendments.

The present tendency of the law, says the correspondent, is to play too much into the hands of capitalists at the expense of poorer individuals and companies. The ordinary man discovering a gold producing area has no opportunity to prove its value and is generally compelled to sell at the price the corporation chooses to offer. The first meeting of the commisission is to be held tomorrow. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res...
