The Premier Mine.

THE finding of this enormous stone has
had an important effect on the standing of
the Premier Company, as well as in other
quarters. and places that company In a
much stronger position than ever before.
The Premier mine is six or seven miles
from Van der Nerve a small station on the
railroad from Pretoria TO Delagoa bay At
present it can be reached only by wagon
over a rough country, but branch track
is soon to be built from the railroad which
will add to the convenience of reaching 1t
and greatly reduce the cost OF fuel and sup
plies. The general rock of the region is
a sandstone of the Pretoria series overiain
by Waterbury sandstone and conglomerate.
Mr.. Troge calls the material a serpentine
conglomerate. The crater or pipe as they
call it, is the largest in South Africa hav-
ing an area of about seventy acres, and
three distinct mines or openings are being
worked. from which the earth is taken to
crushers and a washing plant of forty pans
with total capacity of 5000 pans a day.
Thus far the diamonds have been picked
out by hand from the washing pans, but
the company is now installing what are
known as grease separators, which have
proven so valuable and economical at other
mines, These consist of tables made of
corrugated iron with transverse grooves
about three-eighths OF an inch deep which
are continually vibrating. The grooves are
filled with tallow and the muddy water
passes over them the diamonds adhere TO
the grease At intervals the tables are
cleaned with rubber scrapers. the grease is
melted, TO DE used over again, and the dia-
monds, shaving been preeipitated to the bot
tom of the kettles. are cleaned and sorted.
When these machines are installed 1t is
proposed to run over them all of the earth
in the dumps around the mines in order to
recover the diamonds that have escaped the
hand pickers.

Steps Taken to Determine Whether

Responding to a request for an opinion

have the right to claim what is known as

sets to the other permanent charitable
funds of the municipality, Corporation
Counsel E. II. Thomas has suggested that

The Jubilee and the Victoria.

Another enormous stone found at the
Jagersfontein mine was exhibited at the
Paris exposition of 1900 under the name of
The Jubilee in honor of Queen Victoria,
possibly in hope that 1t might be pur-
chased as an addition to the British crown
jewels. 1t was only about two-thrds the
size Of the Excelsior. but was more regu-
lar In shape and was cut into a single gem,
undoubtedly the most faultless and perfect
in color luster and water that has ever
been seen In the world. 1t is an absolutely
peerless gem There is no stone among all
the crown jewels that can compare with II.
By cutting 1t was reduced to three-eighths
of its original size and now weighs 238
carats. Yet it is more than twice the size
of the English Kohinoor, which. when first
brought from India in 1850. weighed 1856
carats, but was reduced by cutting to its
present dimensions, 102 carats. The Orion
diamond, belonging to the crown of Russia,
and the largest of the great European dia-
monds, weighs 1913 carats. while the Re
gent, or Pitt diamond, formerly in the
crown of France. weighs 1877 carats. 1t is
still held by the original owners.
Another remarkable new stone from the
South African mines Is called the Victoria.
Its history Is unknown and some romantic
stories are tbld of it. 1t originally weighed
457 carats, but was cut into an oval bril-
liant of 1S0 carats and sold to the Nizam of
Hyderabad for 81, 000. 600. 1t is now known
as the 'Nizam diamond The Indian gov
eminent interfered OH the ground that as
the purchase price represented the entire
revenues of his government for year. the
nizam was not justified in taxing his peo-
pie to raise funds to be squandered in that
way ard took steps to prevent the pay
ment of the money. The broker who nego-

which owns the mine, but it is more fire.
quenty referred to as the Premier Dia-
mond,' because of the name of the mine.
This mine is about twenty miles northwest
of Pretoria. and although 1t Is considered
a very valuable and promising property.
this single stone is valued at several times
its entire capital.
THE stone was exhibited at Pretoria and
Capetown for several months and was then
sent to London by mail ordinary reg
stered package at the usual rate of two
pence per ounce plus another two pence for
registration. Had it been lost the company
could have recovered $50 indemnity from
the post Office department. but 1t was in
sured for a million and a half dollars in
several different companies. AS this simple
method of transportation was not adyer-
tised, no one suspected that 1t would be
shipped that way. Even If it had been
stolen the thieves could not have disposed
of it. They would have been in a predica-
ment similar to that of the man who stole
the elephant. Even the owners are puzzled
to decide what to do with it, OF course
nobody is rich enough to buy a SIS, COS, 900
diamond and the company cannot afford to
allow that enormous amount of capital to
lie idle. I understand that it has offered to
sell the stone for 81, $685. 600 to the British
government upon the condition that It shall
never be cut. and shall be placed in the
crown or exhibited in a museum for the
ediffcation of the public in its original form.
There has been some talk about d sub
Scriptfon to raise this sum to buy the stone
for presentation to King Edward on those
terms. The company realize that no one
not even a government. would be justified
in paying more than two millions and a
half of dollars for mere ornament or
curiosity, but they believe the scientific
world will justify the investment of that
amount to prevent the destruction of the
l-f,op nf rr.al-
stone, it Will lose ABOUT one-half its weight
in the process. If it is divided into small
stones, 1t will lose a large part of it's value
Estimated by the rule known as Taver-
nier's, which all lapidaries use for measur-
ing the value of diamonds, that is, by null
tiplying the carat value by the square of
the weight this stone is worth more than
all of the famous diamonds in the world
combined. 1t is still locked up in safe
deposit vault in London, and has never
been placed on exhibition
