THE MARKET PLACE, KIMBERLEY.


passed it on to the Australian and South
African settlements, through which the
world mostly knows it.
Although not unhealthy, Kimberley
has never been called pleasant place Of
residence by any one who has visited it.
Situated in the barren, brown karroo
desert, at an elevation Of more than 1000
feet above the sea level, its attractions
all lie beneath the surface. What trees
are to be seen there have been planted by
the settlers. Its water supply is deriv-
ed from that Vaal river which gives it's
name to the Trunsvaal republic. The
town is lighted entirely by electricity
and at the present time is vigorously
and successfully policed, though in the
early days of it's existence it, like other
mining towns, was the scene of constant
crime and disorder.
The very nature of Kimberley's one
industry has supplied it with fortiica-
tons in the great ramparts Of mining
''tai]ings' which surround it. One of
these, which used to be locally known as
Mount Ararat, is over 80 feet high.
Nobody knows just how much value
in the shape of diamonds is kept in store
at Kimberley, but it is certainly gigan-
tic. Quite possibly it is 100000, 900
worth. The company has Offices in Lon
don, but its headquarters are in'the South
African city, and there, in a building re-
sembling a bank, the bulk of the gems
is kept stored away in vaults.
II only fraction of them were offered
for sale at once, the price of diamonds
would promptly tumble, but the great
corporation, owning, as it does, deposits
which produce SO per cent of the world &
entire yield Of these precious stones, is
able to control the market absolutely and
holds back a large part of it's output
disposing Of only a limited number OF
carats per annum.
The yield Of the mines is about $500
carats every "a hours, and the diamonds
obtained from the diggings are sent daily
under an armed escort, to the company's
headquarters and there delivered to the
appraisers in charge. First they are
cleaned by boiling them in q mixture Of
nitric and sulphuric acids, and then
they are carefully sorted in respect te
size, color and purity.
Two Of the mines. the Du Toits Par
and the De Beers. are the largest holes
ever sunk In the earth, the mouth Of the
former being 10 acres in extent, while the
latter has a yawn Of IS acres. They art
lighted by electricity, and the machinery
used is of the most ingenious and power
full description.
The Kimberley mines now yield $500,
900 rarats annually. representing a value
Of $25 100000, Of which two-hfths Il
clear profit. During the last quarter cen
fury they have added to the world'l
wealth ton <ono ~ diamonds worth S900
600, 900 uncut and $500, DOC, 600 after cut
ting.
These mines employ 1900 Europeans
and about 5000 Kafirs. Necessarily tn
utmost precautions have to be take1
against theft, and yet, notwithstanding
all preventive measures, the company
reckons on loss Of 10 to Is per cent o.
its product in this way.

II There Are Any Loose Philippine Isl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The positive
statement lie made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession of
q single island in the Philippine archi-
pelago. This is called forth by the
declaration in the Spanish cortes by the
Count d'Almenas.
There is stated to be no doubt as to
the sufticiency of the treaty clause to
cede the entire archipelago. If there
has been failure on this point that
fact will not rebound to Spain's benefit,
for it is held officially that the islands
north of the Philippine archipelago be-
long to Japan.

Trade Conditions.

A good brisk trade in all general
lines is reported by the merchants
this week. Prices on all commod-
tiles except flour have ranged about
the same as during the previous,
week but there has been a merry war
on between the millers en- the local
trade. just who prenpitated the
-four fight is not known to q certain
ity to the general public but for
several days the declined was rapid.
Patent process was quoted at the
beginning Of the week at $500 per
barrel and it is now selling at $3.2
Consumers have taken advantage of
the low price to lay in large supplies
and numerous households in the
city can be found with sufficient OF
that product on hand to carry them
through winter. 1t seems that all
the millers are satisfied with the
present price and it has been assert
ed by some persons that there will
be no further reduction. At the pres
ent price OF $751; 20 there is no money
lost by the millers, but there is but
very little in handling it for the mer-
chants
AS there has been no change in the
price for several days it is considered
| by some that the millers have prac-
tically finished their fight and that
the next change will be an advance.
1t is generally conceded that the old
price was much too high considering
the price OF wheat, and should an adj
vance occur it is not probable that
the old price will be reached unless
there is a considerable advance in
| wheat.
Wheat receipts have been large
during the week. but prices have
been down a few cents, today's
quotations. being 3 cents lower than
at this time last week.

Declares Our Intentions to FilipinOs.
Well Received at Manila.
The United States Philippine commits
sion has issued a proclamation to the
people of the islands. The proclamation
is divided into ten paragraphs, aggre
eating 1900 words. The first paragraph
declares that an historical treaty has
been ratified ceding to the United
States the sovereignty of the Philip
pines complete and indefeasible. The
proclamation explains the appointment
of the commission. assures the people
of the American governments good will
and explains the governments aim for
the prosperity and happiness of the
Philippine people and their advance
ment with the most civilized peoples.
1t further declares that the United
States government stands ready to fur
nish armies and navies to maintain its
rightful supremacy over the islands, but
that it is even more solicitous to spread
peace and protection among the Filipi-
nos, accustoming them to self govern
ment. 1t says that it is the expectation
of the commission to visit the people in
their respective provinces, learning the
forms of government best adapted to
their customs and traditions The poll
cy of the commission will be to consult
the wishes and secure the advice and
cooperation of the Filipinos
The commissions proclamation has
been widely distributed both in the
Spanish and Tagalo languages, and in
Manila and Malolos it is attracting
great attention. Representative Fill
pinos approve the proclamation, but ex-
press their fears that to the masses it
will be inaccessible owing to it's inter-
ception by the native leaders. Many,
however, while realizing the opportune-
ness of the moment for issuing the
proclamation, recall the native aversion
and suspicion with which the former
proclamation was received.
