The Mines and other See also:Industries.—South, east and west of the city are the gold mines, indicated by tall chimneys, See also:battery houses and the compounds of the labourers. The See also:bare veld is dotted with these unsightly buildings for a distance of over fifty See also:miles. The mines are worked on the most scientific lines. Characteristic of the Rand is the See also:fine See also:- WHITE

Besides the buildings, the compounds include wide stretches of veld. To enter and remain in the See also:district, See also:Kaffirs require a monthly pass for which the employer pays 2s.

See also:Health, See also:Education and Social Conditions.—The See also:elevation of Johannesburg makes it, despite its nearness to the tropics, a healthy place for See also:European habitation. Built on open undulating ground, the town is, however, subject to frequent dust storms and to considerable See also:variations in the temperature. The nights in See also:winter are frosty and See also:snow falls occasionally. The See also:average See also:day temperature in winter is 53° F., in summer 75°; the average See also:annual rainfall is 28 in. The See also:death-See also:rate among white inhabitants averages about 17 per thousand.

In 2639 he went among the Tobacco Nation, and in 1642 journeyed to Sault Sainte See also:Marie, where he preached to the Algonquins.

After a brief visit to See also:France, where he was treated with high See also:honour, he returned to the See also:Mohawk See also:country in May 1646 and ratified a treaty between that tribe and the See also:Canadian government. Working among them as the founder of the Mission of the Martyrs, he incurred their enmity, was tortured as a sorcerer, and finally killed at Ossernenon, near Auriesville, N.Y.
