TOWN OF KIMBERLEY
Origin of the Diamond City De-
scribed by Hon. John Study.
Iecil Rhodes from the First Worked

ness Became n Municipality
in IA Single Day.

Residing upon his ranch in southern
California is a gentleman-Hon. John
Study, late of Kimberley, South At
rica, and an eN-colonial minister of
tinance-who, from a personal knowl-
edge of the subject, describes how the
first diamond was discovered. which led
to the building up of the beleaguered
city of Kimberley, and how Cecil
Rhodes laid the foundation of his colos-
sal wealth and power.
1T was in 1869" says Mr.. Study,
''that l first met Herbert Rhodes, the
pioneer of the Rhodes family fortune,
at Du Toitspan, where we joined in the
rush to old De Beers, and in which lat
ter place we worked together upon very
friendly terms.
in a short time Herbert Rhodes was
followed by Frank, now Col. Rhodes,
when the two brothers entered into a
partnership working a good paying
claim upon road No. s.
Both brothers We're very popular at
the diggings. Herbert was a strong,

warranted by the extent of his find.

| building is in the center of the city, fac
| ing the mansion house and Bank of
England
Just how the grasshopper came to
find its elevated position is matter
more of tradition than history. One
account has il that in early days the
Royal exchange, being more or less in
the fields, was frequented by numer-
Gus grasshoppers, which dwelied in the
high grass ui the exchange court.
From this circumstance, the London
builders OF the present structure
thought to perpetuate memories of
these early times by placing model of
a grasshopper upon The building.
The more authentic account, how
ever, is somewhat less fantastic The
Royal exchange was built by Lord
Gresham. The crest of the Gresham
family-who were a very old and dis
ting uished set of persons-was a grass
hopper. Now, when Gresham built the
exchange it is natural that his crest
should surmount the highest pinnacle
on the building.
OF course, the building built by Gres-
ham has long since passed away. II
was destroyed in the great fire-of 1866.
Another structure was erected. but it,
too, was burned down, though the pres
ent clock tower tshown in the photo
graph remained.
II is a singular coincidence that the
last tune played by the clock before
the flames reached the tower was
There's Nae Luck About the House"
The grasshopper was destroyed in
this second fire, but ii was reconstruct
ed on a more elaborate scale on the
building of the last exchange. The last
grasshopper was gilded.
legend went that when the grass
hopper on the Royal exchange and the
dragon on Bow church met. great dis
aster would happen to London. Both
the dragon and the grasshopper were
being repaired in the same shop about
1S47, yet nothing of moment happened
to London in that year.

taken from roof facing the exchange.

dirt, when in less than five minutes |
picked out as many small diamonds.
Impressed with the belief hat | had
made a big find, went over to the tent
of an old Natal friend. Popham. by
name. with whom al the time was Her
bert Rhodes. | told them of my discov-
cry and we three at once decided to
organize stampede for the new field.
"Popham and Rhodes got away in less
than two hours and | fully intended to

wishes of my partner to remain with
him at the old De Beers; sending on
four Kaffir Zulus, however. to help
stake out our claims.
at was but a few hours after,
through the instrumentality of the
friend whom | had taken with me on
the hunting trip. that the news was
spread abroad through the camp; and
before seven a. m. in the next morning
Old De Beers was deserted and in "a
hours later there were from 5000 to
1000 men on the ground on which now
stands the city of Kimberley.
''In few days the country all around
that clump of mines, where / had shot
the partridges. was staked out, and il
was almost on the spot, right in the
center of the crater of the extinct mud
volcano now forming the celebrated De
Beers mine, that Popham, Herbert
Rhodes and myself secured three of
the best-paying claims.
"It was about five or six months after
this, when we had ali moved to New
Rush, that Cecil Rhodes, the youngest
brother, unexpectedly turned up at the
diggings.
ION the morning of his arrival in
camp, Herbert Rhodes asked me to take
his brother Cecil down and show him
over the claims. where they were work
ing from 1s to 20 Zulus. To this re-
quest l readily agreed, and while in
the pit picked out small diamond
from the sidewalk and handed it to
him-his first stone in South Africa.
SIT was not long after Cecil Rhodes
came upon the scene" Mr. Study con-
tinues, "that l foresaw' that, sooner or
later, there was going to be split in
the camp.
I'm this prognostication was even
tually proved to be right, for Herbert,
first of all, sold out his interest to Cecil,
andsthen Frank did the same; when
Cecil who would hardly spend enough
on his food and clothes to keep body
and soul decently together, began,
with the aid of his savings, to engineer
those plans which have raised him to
be one of the two foremost men in
South Africa"
