Diamonds and Gold.
From the Colorado Springs Evening TIE,

From the Colorado Springs Evening Tel
egraph.
That the gold and diamond mines of
South Africa have been, and still are
wonderfully profitable, however, is be-
yond question. The Kimberley diamond
mines. which are located in British terri
tory, just outside the boundaries of the
Orange Free State and about 600 miles
from Cape Town, now supply SO per cent
of the diamonds of commerce, although
their existence was unknown prior to 1867
and the mines have thus been in opera
ton but about 80 years.
1t is estimated that $3.50 900. coo worth of
rough diamonds. worth double that sum
after cutting, have been produced from
the kimberley mines since their opening
in 1862 and this enormous production
would have been greatly increased but
for the fact that the owners of the va
rious mines in this vicinity formed an
agreement by which the annual output
was so limited as to meet, but not mate
rally exceed. the annual consumption of
the worlds diamond markets. So plenti-
ful is the supply and SO comparatively in
expensive the work of production that di-
almond digging in other parts Of the world
has almost ceased since the South Afri-
can mines entered the field, and the result,
is as stated above, that they now supply
more than ?S per cent. of the diamonds
of commerce
Equally wonderful and equally promis-
ing are the great "Witwatersrand" gold
fields of South Africa, located in the
South African republic, better known as
the Johannesburg mines. The Dutch
word, "Witwatersrand." means literally
white Water range" and the strip of
territory few hundred miles long and a
few miles in width to which it is applied
was but few years ago considered
nearly worthless ridge. useful only for
the pasturage of cattle and sheep, and
for even this comparatively valueess. In
1883, however gold was discovered. and in
1888 the value of the gold production was
about $4,000 1t increased with startling
rapidly the production of 1888 being
about $1,000 coo. that of 1890 $40, 900 600 1892
more than 100000. 1895 more than $40
900, and in 1897 and 1898 about So, 900, 600
in each year.
This wonderful development has at
tracted great attention to South Africa
and drawn thither thousands of people in
the hope of realizing quick fortunes. De-
Nelopment however, showed that the
mines could only be successfully worked
by the use of costly machinery, and while
they have been extremely productive
where machinery has been used. they
We're not of such character as to make
hand or placer mining profitable, as was
the case in California. The gold produce
ton in the RAND since 1854 has been
more than $500, 900 900.

On the other hand, there was an in
crease of 91.265,745, or 1876 per cent, in
the exports to Russia, which has been

AS We have heretofore pointed out, a
large part of this siHar probably finds
it's way to China, Were the Russians

in railroad building and other work.
The shipments to the east this year
constituted 524 per cent of the total
exports and showed an increase of G1,-

Silver Movement for Ten Months.

While the movement of silver through
the London market has been large this
year, it has still fallen somewhat below
that of 1898. The British imports fer
the 10 months ending with October
showed a decrease in total value, as
or 81 per cent: while in the exports
there was a decrease of GSSS,291, or 10
per cent. The imports into and exports
from Great Britain for the 10 months
are given in the board OF trade returns

ports from Australasia showed a large
relative increase, 1887 per cent; but the
total. Gl7S540, is not large. The other
changes in imports call for no special
comment.
Perhaps the most notable change in
the exports was in those to European

gle individuals to purchase their out

great deal Of silver this year. The in
crease is not SO large, however, as ap-
pears above, since for the 10 months
there was a decrease of 734.397 in the
shipments of silver from San Francisco
to Hongkong and Shanghai; and it is
also understood that the German sales
of silver in China, which We're large in
1898, have been much lighter this year.
Whatever the Russians may have
shipped to that country does not much
affect the regular trade, since it repre-
sents a new demand, and is paid out
chilly for value received, either from
Manchurian laborers or Pekin manda-
rims.
Upon the whole, the statistics this
year do not show any important de-
crease in the demand for silver. At the
present time it Is improving and ap-
pearances indicate considerable ship
ments for the balance of the year.
There are several elements-among
others the high price and heavy de-
mand for tin-which are calling for
such shipments, and the supply is
