DIAMOND FIELDS OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Information from Natal About the Gold and
Diamond supply.

Information from Natal About the Gold and
Diamond supply.
About twenty years ago, says the jew
eler, Mr.. Gregory, before the assembled
wisdom of the Society of Arts in London,
denounced the alleged discovery of dia-
mon6s i'll South Africa to be f8llacy and
a fraud, and demonstrated by scientific
formua that diamonds could not posi-
bly, exist in Son h Africa. Two members
of the Natal Legislature of to-day hap
pened to be present at that gathering,
and they had the temerity TO lift up their
voices In deprecation of the savant's
sweeping conclusions. One of them said
that he had made two fortunes in Natal
aud lost them, aud that he meant to make
aunther-a state ment which induced other
speakers to admit that South Africa was
evidently not wanting III self-relianoe.
History also hath it that an elaborate
narrative of South African gold discover
les, which had been prepared for the
home press by Natalian pen and which
was actually in type for publication in
leading periodical, was suppressed at the
last moment because of the tidings Which
came from Natal of denials discrediting
the disclosures made by Carl Mauch of
the gold reefs he had found in the region
of the Tsti. These things happened just
twenty years ago, and what do we see
now? A pit of diamonds tt at has yield
ed already e5O,OOO,0nO worth Of precious
stones, and that yields steady output of
"a, 100000, with DO sign of exhaustion for
many years to come. region of proved
gold production, extending from the Tati
to Matabeleland on the north, to the
Buysna in the far south; from Malmani
in the west to the Umzinto in the east
an area representing the whole of the
Transvaal, part of Bechnanland, S~itzer
land, Zuzulsnd, Natal and western dis
trict in the Cape colony. If the dia-
mond fields contribute from e3,00O,000,
to e4,000,000 yearly to the export wealth
of South Africa, gold already contributes
million, with every prospect that ere
long that annual out-turn may swell to
figures which it would be vain to fore
cal ,nlate

PRESS OPINIONS.
What the ENGLISH pancrs Hnrc to Say.

What the English Papers Have to Say.
LONDON. March 1.-THE Morning Post
says: president HarrisOn's inaugural
address Ia marked by a commendable
absence of bombast, and if this marks
the future tJue Of the national policy,
another element in concord with the
world will have been secured"
The Daily News says: Gold had a
mora decisive influence on the late cleo
ton than any that has gone before. The
rich on both sides virtually buy places in
the administration by liberal donations
to the campaign funds. 1t Is a form
of purchase system which bodies
ne good 10 the state, and
shows that civil service reform
must begin at the very apex of the pyra-
mid. Pres. Harrison's inaugural address
Is remarkable for its numerous foreign
illusions. The union may refuse to grow
in territory but it cannot refuse to grow
in interests. The creation of the navy is
evidently due TO other considerations
than the necessity for reducing
the surplus. The world may
soon have TO reckon with
new naval powers. There are more
disquieting signs for those who care to
tiud them in the curious interchange of
views on the commercial union between
Canada and America than in the fisheries
question"
The Times doubts whether President
Hsrrison's proposed new departure rela-
tive TO the naturalization laws would be
advantageous either for America or the
rest of the world. Blaine's foreig u
policy, it says, appears prominently in
She address. The general assertion re-
gsrdiug cosling stations and hsrbors is
probably intended to cover both the
Samoa and the Canadian fisheries. In
the department of finance the Times
thinks the presidents views not very
clear.
The Daily Telegraph says: The fact
that Mr.. Harrison is so we'll disposed 10
/ deal with foreign affairs in calm Aud
| equitable spirit will be remarked with
! satisfaction"
Tne Standard says: The message, Cn
! the whole, is disappointing. 1t was Ger
\ taiuly hot written 10 please the Anglo.
] Saxons on this side of the Atlsutic."
