Stones Worth $4,000 Taken Monthly
From the Farm Of an Old Boer
in Western T~ransvaat.

Misunderstanding to information
received in London a new diamond
field has been discovered in the West
an old Boer at Mooifontein, in the dis
trict of BloeInhof. M%ooifontein now
has a population of more than 5000
drawn there by the diamond fields.
The development OF the diamond field
was the outcome OF the ush Of miners
to Bloemhof. a village on the vaal
river. 22O miles f1om johannesburg.
A little more than a year ago a
Dutch farmer discovered diamonds
near Bloemhof and some diggers from
mining camps went there. Among the
prospectors were the sons of tie old
Boer at Mo%oifontein. They found
that the gravel in which the diamonds
were found was identical with gravel
on their fathers farm and went home
to investigate it.
They struck pay dirt Immediately.
Last September the government is
sued a proclamation declaring a por-
ton OF the farm to be an alluvial dig
yiug and the rush to stake claims was
tesun. Mooifontein was the name OF
the old Beers farm. 1t is now a small
city.
In November the owner. who was
from the claim holders, protested
against the purpose to open more of
farm to diamond seekers. He said
that many of those who came had
brought cattle and sheep which were
