situation grows out of the fact of
repetition of the history of discovery.
During the hundred and forty-three
years from 1928 to 1871 Brazil was
the great diamond-producing country.
Then came Africa, with its wonderful
Kimberley and other districts, and
an output in 3S years of 100000

the American Republics. Along the
headwaters of the Rio Jaquitinhunha,
or Diamond river, seems to be the
center of the wonderful fields dis
covered and being rapidly developed,
with headquarters in the town of Dia-
mantina. These diamonds are said
to be in the average the purest ever

of streams at low water and from
alluvial surface soil, with no neces-
sity for deep and costly excavation,
as at the Kimberley mines.
And along with the diamonds are
found in the really golden sands un-

there is some measure taken to con-
