To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This allows the pillars of ore, which would otherwise be necessary to support the roof, to be removed, and dispenses with the un- sightly heaps of "tailings. " The continuance of the gold-bearing "banket" reefs of the Rand to a great depth was at first unsus- pected, and was only realized by degrees. About the year 1890, however, it came to be the generally accepted belief that, as these reefs had been deposited by the action of water, the particles of gold would be widely distributed, and ther...e was every probability of the auriferous reef extending to a great depth. Bore- holes were sunk on the dip of the Geldenhuis and Crown Deep Mines, and confirmed the opinions of the experts. As the reef dipped towards the south, it at once became evident that all land lying to the south- ward, which, except for the first thousand feet or so, had been considered as worthless, was almost certainly underlaid by the reef and therefore of great prospective value. These deep-level areas were promptly acquired by capitalists and proprietary syndicates.
