Partridge, u well known mining expert

exported the Kimberley diamond
mines, was a personal friend of the
Flormans. After. examining the quartz
vein, he bonded 1t for $2oo,0o and
went to London, where he interested
a titled Highlander, who took up the
bond and commenced immediate de-
relopment of the property. The Flor
mans received their money and the
chance is considered good for the
opening upof one of the richest quartz
gold mines in the world.
Soon after the discovery of the vein
Miss Florence Florman met, Frank
