TATI

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TATI , a
district
  of British
South
  Africa forming, geographically, the S.W. corner of Matabeleland, but attached administratively to the
Bechuanaland
  Protectorate. Area about 2500 sq. m. The railway from Cape Town to Bulawayo crosses the territory with a station at Francistown, the
principal
 
settlement
 . Francis-town stands 3254 ft. above the sea and is 126 rn. S.W. of Bulawayo by
rail
 . The town of Tati, on the river of that name, is 18 m. S.E. of Shashi river railway station.
Tati owes its importance to the presence of gold, first discovered by the German traveller, Karl Mauch, in 1864.
Mining
  began in 1868, but it was not until 1895 that
work
  on a large scale was undertaken, and it has been frequently interrupted since that date. The
chief
  mine is the Monarch, situated by the railway. A concession to
work
  the gold-mines, and for other purposes, was obtained in 1887 by Mr S. H. Edwards from Lobengula, the Matabele
chief
 , and the
mining
  rights are vested in a company, thereafter formed, called the Tati Concessions Company. (See
BECHUANALAND
  and RHODESIA.)
