ing 1898.


According to a report received by the
State Department, the output of diamonds
in the Pretoria district during 1898
amounted to OPS carats, valued at $43,
151.25. In December 1897, the output was
166 earats, valued at s710.51. and for the
same month in 1898 the output was 3. 100
carats, with a value OF S11 ,626.07. The
largest stone found in 1898 was 3S 1-2
carats. Although the diamond Industry is
rot developing with abnormal rapidty,
there is every cause for satisfaction, the
first stone having been discovered at Reit-
fontein only in August, 1897 The Average
value of stones found in this district is
$3.S9 per carat, the average value OF Kim
berIey diamonds $6.33 per carat. and those
found at Jagersfontein. in the Orange Free
State, SS.27 per carat. The diamonds in
the Pretoria district are found in pipes
as on Schuliers mine and on Montrose
A similar formation has been found ol
Roodeplaats, on the Pienaars River and
another IS also reported at Kameeliontein
and BufIelsduf.
On the De Kroon farm. about twenty-si&
miles west of Pretoria, diamonds have

area of diamondiferous ground is very ex-

siderable.

valued at $212, ,812.04.
