searcher at the other busily sorting
out of the sand innumerable white
specks of diamonds. The days work
tumbled into small snuff boxes, vii
frequently reach a local value OF
Il. 900. None can fail to be struck or
looking into one of these great mines
or uuarries that the whole of that
great mass of earth and rock has been
dug out, pulverized, and searched fol-
the diamonds 1t contains. One can
look into a quarry of states or stone and
see the rocks themselves cut down and
carried away for use; but in these quar-
ries the soil and the rock are cut out
and dug out and what for? Simply
that out of every one hundred tons
raised out of the quarry an ounce
weight of diamonds may be secured.
1t is a startling and impressive
thought in gazing into these great
Quarries hat all that soil should have
been dug out at a cost for labor alone
of something ike fl5, 900, 600, and
with the aid of invested capital of
Fl, ZOO, 900 in machinery, in order to
distribute so many hundred weight of
precious stones to decorate the ladies
of civilized centers.
And now a fourth stage has been ar
rived at. AS | have said, these dig
gIngs have reached a depth of three
hundred to teur hundred feet, and the
sides of the quarries are falling IN.
The new problem is how to continue
to dig out the blue which now lies
practically beneath the reef. The con-
sequence is that round these quarries
regular mining shafts are being sunk,
and the blue is to be attacked by
underground work. Good mining
Judges maintain that this is the wrong
system, inasmuCh as when the shaft is
sunk no method of underground min
ing a secure and bring to grass any
large proportion of the blue, which is
not in veins, but bulk. A truer sys-
tenn would be to terrace the roof sides,
and always work them as open mines
or quarries. Thus, as years 20 by,
the cost of getting out these diamonds
increases steadily, but it also so hap
pens that the price of diamonds has
steadily and greatly fallen. The all
round price per carat has fallen from
G3 to Is shillings per carat. At this
one cannot be surprised. Or old the
world was content to receive each year
an accession of new-dug diamonds of
about ESQ, 900 in value on the average.
But suddenly from South Africa comes
a new supply, exceeding "a, O00, 900
worth each year for ten years.-Cor.
