Game Reserves, Koomatipoort, says:

I have been much interested in reading Col. Wood's address.
They seem to have the same difficulties to contend with
there as we have here, _i.e._, ignorance and apathy of the
public, and active opposition from those with axes to grind.

Major Hamilton encloses the _Regulations under Section_ 4 _of the Game
Preservation Ordinance_, 1905, (C)--_Reserves_. By these it appears
that "owners of private land situate in a Reserve or persons having
the permission in writing of such owners shall have free access to
every part of such land." But routes of access in the Reserve
generally are exactly defined and must be followed. Penalties up to
£50 may be imposed for the infraction of any one of six different
clauses. Major Hamilton also says:

The Game Sanctuaries of the Transvaal stretch along the
eastern border of the Province for a length of 250 miles
with an average breadth of 50 miles.

They are in charge of a Warden under whom are six Rangers.
Five of these Rangers are in charge of each of one of the
five areas into which the Reserves are divided, four for the
Sabi Reserve and one for the Singwitsi Reserve, and each has
at his disposal a force of 12 native rangers or police. The
sixth Ranger is specially employed in the capture of live
animals for zoological purposes, the destruction of vermin
and for any emergency duty which may arise. His headquarters
are, therefore, within easy reach of the Warden.
