Later, further discoveries were made on the farm of a Dutchman named De Beer, now the location of the famous De Beer and Kimberley mines. Originally a mining settlement, the streets have been laid out in the fashion of a calf trail. One can live a month in Kimberley, then, as in Boston, have LATTER-DAY SAINT MISSIONARIES ON THE STEPS OF THE MONUMENT ERECTED IN HONOR OF THE HEROES OF THE KIMBERLEY SIEGE, BRITISH-BOER WAR to rely on the instructions of a policeman to find one's lodge. During recent years much has been done to beautify the wealthy town. There are now many excellent hotels, and numerous fine public buildings, including a handsome theater. The town is lighted by electricity, and electric cars run out to the beautiful suberbs of Beaconsfield, Kenilworth and Alexander Fontein. Memories of the war are still vivid there.
