ELEVEN TONS OF DIAMONDS
Output Of the Kimberly Mines n
ThIrty-nlne Ysars-Discovery
Of the Record Gem.

The days work at the mine was
over and Frederick Wells. the sur
face manager, was making his usual
rounds. CHANGING along one side OF
the deep excavation his eye suddenly
caught the CLEAN of a brilliant object
far up the bank. He lost no time IN
climbing up to the spot where he had
noted the CLINT Of hight. He had not
been mistaken: It was Q brilliant crys'
tai. He tried to pull It out with hia
fingers and as this proved impossible
he sought to pry It out with the blade
Of his penknife. To his surprise the
blade OF the knife broke without caus
ing the stone to yield. Then he knew
It was a large stone. So large and
brilliant was the stone that he feared
he vas either dreaming or was In.
sane.
Determined to test the stone ON the
spot before proceeding further, Wells
rubbed OF the dirt from n Of its
faces with his fingers and soon con
vinced himself that 1t wss not a lung
Of glass. but a diamond. Apparently Of
exceptional whiteness and purity. He
finally succeeded In prying out the
stone and bore It away with him tc
the Office of the mine. Here It was
cleaned and. to the astonishment OF
all, was found to have a weight Of
sofx carats. more than three times
that of any other diamond that had
been discovered. Before many hours
passed the telegraph carried tidines
to all parts Of the world that the great.
est diamond Of this g or any other
age had been brought to light.
1t was thirty-nine years, July 13,
1871. since the discovery of diamonds
In South Africa. Do you know how
these great mines were discov q ed?
the Christian Herald asks. A trader
stopping over night with a Dutch
farmer saw the children playing with
bright marbles. The trader took the
white stones to Capetown and found
they were diamonds of wonderful
beauty and great value. In these thir-
ty-niHe years about eleven tons Of dia-
monds have been taken from the Kim.
berly mines. Think Of eleven tons OF
diamonds, like eleven tons OF coal, be-
ing dumped into your cellar!

The three Of them solemnly trooped
out, leaving Carmichael b~ewildered.
And while he was racking his mind he
heard steps on the stairs. The door
above shut nolsily.
"By George. I'll attend to that this
minute. Well see what stuff this vel
low haired boy is made Of"
He mounted the stairs without
sound. He grasped the handle Of the
door, boldly pushed it open and eE-
tered, closing the door and placing his
back against it.
The vintner snatched a pistol from
the drawer in the table and leveled 1t
at Carmichael.
"surely your majesty will not shoot
