Interesting extensive collection of original photos of the famous Witwatersrand gold mines taken in the early 1900s by local photographer F.E. Pollard.

The photos include general and close-up views of various facilities of the Rose Deep New Primrose Simmer & Jack New Comet Angelo Glencairn; Witwatersrand Wemmer Geldenhuis Deep Knight’s Deep Jumpers Deep Ferreira gold mines etc. At least one of the photos were reproduced as an illustration in “Views of the Transvaal: Johannesburg with its marvellous gold industry” Johannesburg: W. Saphra n.d. ca. 1900s. Overall a rare collection of well-executed early studio photos of Johannesburg gold mines. “On 14 September 1886 the first large mining company on the Reef the Witwatersrand Gold Mining Company was formed with a total nominal capital of £3063000. The first crushing battery consisting of five stamps had been erected on the Reef in 1885 to service the Struben's excavations on the lower West Rand reef but this was a small operation and the first crushing machinery ordered specifically for the new Reef diggings began to arrive from the coast in 1887. The first of these to be erected was a three-stamp Sandycroft on the Jubilee Mine which came into operation on 22 April of that year and by the end of 1887 it had been followed into production by the Wemmer Ferreira Salisbury Wits Knights Meyer & Charlton George Goch Jumpers City and Suburban Geldenhuis Estates Langlaagte Robinson and Wolhouter mines. By then 14 mines and 93 stamps were in operation with a total annual output of 19080 oz of gold” Discovery of the Gold in 1884/ South African History Online.
