THE AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELDs.-[ From
the Buffalo Courier I'VE are permitted to
make the following extract from letter
received by Mr.. John &. Burns. Of this city,
from his brother, William Z. Burns, who
some months ago left Buffalo for the dia-
mond fields of South Africa:
Pneil, South Africa, June 1st, 1871
We'll, here am in the diamond digsinGs OF
South Africa. / have worked just one
month here, and have struck nothing yet,
but there are others making fortunes all
round me. 1t only requires little capital,
and with any luck ut all man can become
rich in short time. l tell you it Is the
- biggest thing" out. Diamonds are being
found every day some from twenty to
eighty carats. A man two claims above
mine found stone which he was lmmedi-
ately offered 100000 for, which lie refused.
He is going to England with it. Such finds
are quite common, too. Stones varying in
value from $50 to 1000 are found every
day.
In fact, large fortune awaits several
thousands, and l am determined to be one
of the number, Providence permitting. 1t
is rough life to lead, but healthy one.
The weather is very warm, but the country
is mountainous and quite healthy, if per-
son takes care Of himself and avoids The
vile liquors which always abound in a
mining camp. 1t costs very little to live
OILY about thirteen dollars month in
gold, if you board yourself-and Kaffirs
Gun be hired for one shilling day in
silver, and board themselves, to do all the
digging and washing. White mon do the
sorting of the precious gems. a man with
q small capital-say $500 in eold-and who
who will stick to the digglngs for niue
months, is almost certain to meet with sue
cess. A man came here with his little son
a few days ago, having about $50 in gold.
He bought a claim for $l5, and tent and
mining Implements ut auction for Sl5 more,
which only left him $50. The third day az
ter lie took out an SO carat gem. suppose
the stone is worth 800, 900. How is that
