Tons of Diamonds.

Like all precious metals and stones.
the unit of weight usually employed
In regard to diamonds is the carat,
of which ISL 1-2 go to make up a
single ounce. To think of sacks of
diamonds by tho ton staggers tho i'm
asination; indeed says the Pail Mail
Gazette, tho average annual output of
the Kimberly mines Is not moro than
half a ton, all told.
Statistics have been published re-
Gently at Cape Town giving the out
put for several years past of the KIM
herly mines and the river digEings.
These yielded In the three years 1903
% nearly 7250,000 carats--say a ton
and half. Tho monetary value of
these diamonds was 14,450, 900 pounds
sterling. Since the first diamond was
discovered by the banks of the Vaal
in 1867 down to the end of 1906 it
Is estimated that the total weight Of
diamonds extracted from the Grioua.
land mines is over thirteen and a half
tons, of q market value of fully o.
100000 pounds sterling.
If statistics of this sort can be
trustcd-and in the cnse of the South
African yield they closely approxi-
mato to the facts-only seventeen tens
OF diamonds had been mined all over
the world to the end of 1901. With
the same relative output since that
year from Brazil and India the worlds
output of diamonds is now more than
twenty tons.
The figure seems small, consider
ing the ages diamonds have been
worked in India and elsewhere in tho
East and must be largely gucsswork
with respect to the output in anti
guilty. 1t Is. however. certain that
more diamonds have been placed on
tho market In the last forty years
than in the previous thousand years.
