DIAMOND INDUSTRY is IMMENSE
Nearly All the Precious Stones in the
World Are Cut in Amsterdam.

Nearly All the Precious stones In the
World Are Cut in Amsterdam.
In a recent report to the Depart
ment of Commerce, United States Con-
sui Hill writes from Amsterdam, Hoi-
land. giving some interesting inferma-
ton concerning the diamond indus
try of that city. When diamonds are
taken from the mines they are only
transparent pebbles, needing to be cut
and polished before they can be used
for jewelry. According to Consul Hill,
although the diamond industry is pros
pering in Antmerp and since 1893 has
taken root in New York also, Amster
dam is far and away the greatest dia-
mond mart in the world, and nearly
all the rough diamonds brought thece
to be split, polished and cut are of
South African origin, although stones
from Brazil, British Guiana, Australia
and Borneo are handled.
Louis Tas, one of the best known
diamond brokers, estimates the output
of the De Beers African mines an
nually at 100000 ($14, 1899, 500 and
of other mines at f1OO0,0O0 ($4, $685.
500. Add to this the cost of labor,
the profits of the London syndicate
etc, and he thinks that the annual out
put of diamonds is worth about f7.-
100000 1884, O65, 500.
Mr.. Tas places the output of the De
Beers company much too low, as the
last statement shows that the output
was f5,OOO,OOO ($24, 1882, 500 for the
year ended June 80, 1908. Gardner
Williams, of that company, is author
ity for the statement that all other
mines produce but per cent annually
of the amount of the De Beers prod
uct. The same authority states that
the output of the De Beers mines for
the eleven years ended June 80, 1899,
was 24,476,000 carats, showing an an
nual product of more than 2,2OO, 900
carats
Mr.. KuenZ, another expert estimates
that the South African mines have
added $4OO,OOOOOO worth of diamonds
to the worlds supply, of which not
per cent are lost in a hundred years,
so that practically the entire world
production in all time is now in exist
ence.
MI. gives IuC lCciOluS
of consumption in the following order:
United States, Russia, France and
England. Mr.. Williams ranges coun-
tries of Importation from South Africa
thus: United States, England, Ger
many, France and Italy.
The United States cuts no figure at
all as a producer of precious stones,
the total annual output being less than
100000, five-sixths of which are
sapphires and turquoises, but stands
first as the destination of these gems.
The enormous private fortunes of the
Americans will finally result in build
ing a great diamond mart in this coun-
try The time will come when private
collections will far outstrip in splen-
dor and richness the crown jewels of
European kingdoms.
The export Ct diamonds to the Unit
ed States in 1862 amounted to only
$1,000; in 1868, $4,971.S4; in 1864, ST.
6S9.SO; in 1872, social Brazilian
stones. In 1874 Cape of Good Hope
diamonds on the list of exports, and
amounted in that year to $50, 739 90
From 1882 on the exports of diamonds
to the United States attain promi-
hence.
