| Description: | South Africa; c. 1920s Gold Rush. (Gold was originally discovered in S.A. in 1886; this must be a new area found in the 1920s.) Shot of men running across a field; tents & shacks scattered around field. Pan on rocky terrain; pan to more of men running acorss; also a few cattle running. A bit closer shot of some men "staking their claims"- literally putting stakes in the ground- -nobody seems to have a very big area; as the stakes and the men are fairly close together. A few guys stand around talking. Mining; minerals; greed; prospecting. | |
