Diamond mining in German
southwest Africa is attracting
many thousands of spectators.
More than so new companies have
their stocks quoted on the bourse
at Luderitz. The increase in both
the quantity and the value of the
stones is very satisfactory FOR
the current year C1909) it is eX-
pected that the output will average
As 900 carats a month, and the price
has risen from $3.50 to sS per carat.
The average cost of winning the
stones varies between 46 cents and
$3.50 per carat. In seven months
273,7Ol carats have been obtained,
producing a value of nearly 81 ,9O4.-
600, from which nearly one-haf
has been deducted by the treasury.
The origin of the stones has not
yet been satisfactorily accounted
for The pebbly deposits in the
sand containing diamonds have
shown themselves more important
than was at first anticipated. In
some places there are several such
Iavers of pebbles separated from
each other by sand, thus making 1t
