R.C.H. Cooke, a mining engineer, was the author of four articles relating to mining and mineral deposits in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the early twentieth century: (1) "Descriptions of ore treatment at the Giant Mine, Hartley District, Rhodesia" (Journal of the Chemical, Metallurgical and Mining Society of South Africa, 1908, Vol. 9, p. 152). Hartley, now Cheautu, is some 106 km south-west of Harare, on the railway line to Bulawayo. (2) "Notes on the Enterprise district" (Rhodesia Mining Review, 1910, Vol. 5, p. 509). (3) "Tin in Rhodesia" (Ibid, 1911) and (4) "Some geological data on the Victoria tin occurrence" (Ibid, 1911, Vol. 8, p. 179). The Victoria tin-field later came to be known as the Bikita tin-field.
