The discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand hills and the Transvaal region of South Africa sparked a rush in the late 1880s. Competition between the British and Boer settlers for access and control of this valuable commodity was one of the underlying causes of the second Anglo-Boer war (1899-1902) in which the British eventually won control of the territory. In this work, published in 1898, the mining engineer and Fellow of the Geological Society of London John Yates outlines the state of the booming industry on the eve of war. He discusses the work of key companies and includes technical specifications and illustrations of the equipment used in the new gold mines, such as the shafts, mills and cyanide works. An appendix by his fellow engineer Hennen Jennings addresses the question of government assistance in subsidising the huge start-up costs of these mining projects.

In twelve brief meditations, John Yates examines the men and women who figured prominently at the time of the cross and the Resurrection. His hope is that these reflections will help you to better understand the flesh and blood personalities whose lives were changed so completely by the Lord Jesus. His entire life can never be studied exhaustively. In just this one single weekend, Good Friday to Easter, He changed the world, changed history, changed everything for those who believe. All royalties from this book will be donated to The Falls Church Anglican. The amazing story of this church is told in The Awakening of Washington’s Church, by J.B. Simmons.

The second installment of politically charged satire, scrutiny, and social commentary from John Yates' Stealworks graphics compound. Whereas his first anthology of work, Stealworks, was a retrospective that gathered together in a single archival collection previously published material, this latest edition comprises an entirely unpublished selection of incendiary graphics. Featuring over 100 of Yates' designs, September Commando is a visual assault on all things bad. From our benevolent leaders on "Capitol(ist) Hill" to "Twenty First Century Cops," from his "own" apathy-embracing "(de)Generation X" to the selling of "Corporate American" ignorance (and purchase thereof) to the (pocket) enlightened m(asses). Think of it as Barbara Kruger on a social injustice killing spree.
