] asked Dr. Derby whether diamond pines.
such as exist in South Africa, would ever be
found in Brazil He would not prophesy.
There is no doubt. however. that diamonds
are still being found IN this country. and no
one knows whether diamond pipes may not
yet be discovered Until the opening up Of
the mines OF South Africa most diamonds
was the case with the diamonds OF Brazil
They were known to exist almost geo years
ago and We used as counters by the gold
miners before their value was known. As far
back as 1892 no less than 80. 900 men were
searching for diamonds in the state o. Minas.
and during the following half century Brazil
exported precious stones 10 the value Of SIS
600 coo.
During the 18th century the stones were
sold in parcels by contract under govern
ment regulations. and the average price
was only about SO per carat. Much Of the
work was done by slaves. and any slave that
found a gem OF IS carats got his freedom
Up TO 1850 more than quarter OF a million
carsts OF diamonds were taken out OF two
rivers. while from the River Cuyaba more
than million carats had been taken up to
that date Until 1871 Brazil held the first
place in the world in the production Of dia-

The first diamonds were discovered in the
state OF Minas Gereas. in a country which Is
about 500 miles north OF Rio de Janeiro So

Cornell Man Heads Geological Survey.
During my stay here I have had a
chat with Dr. OrTille T. Derby, who is
at the head Of the geological survey OF
Brazil, and who has been for many
years the chief geolOgist Of the country.
DIT. Derby is a North American He was
born in the United States and received
his education at Cornell university. II
was 40 years ago that he first came
here with one Of his professors in con-
nection with the Morgan exploration
expedition. sem out from the United
States to do geological work in Brazil.
He returned TO complete his college
course. after which he became professor
OF geology at Cornell
he had served but a short while when
the emperor Of Brazil engaged him to
come to Rio and take charge of the
mineralogy department Of the National
museum. He held this office for some
years and then left to make a geo
logical survey OF the state Of sac PaulO.
Since then he has done other geological
work all over Brazil, having been con-
tnually employed in that pursuit up
10 lhe present DR. Derby Tor a dong
time has been at the head of the ma
tional geological survey Of this country
and he still holds that position.

An American syndicate with a

been formed 10 develop the iron depos-
its Of the central part of Minas Ge-
raes"
I take this statement from late pub
LEGATION authorized by the Brazilian
government. It relates to some Of the
greatest iron beds yet undevelOped.
Minas Geraes is a great state a short
distance back from the Atlantic ocean
It is separated from the Atlantic By
the narrow states Of Espirato Santo and
Rio de JaneirO. The country is high
and it has many kinds Of minerals, in
Guiding diamonds. It has great beds Of
iron. In the central and southern parts
Of the state there are said 10 be more
than two billion tons Of ore in sight,
and one block OF iron that contains 20
900, 900 tons. The latter is 90 percent
pure.
The AIinas ores have been analysed
BY experts from the United States Steel
company and from the Krupps, and they
are known to be very valuable. So far
50 outcrOps have been surveyed by the
mining engineers Of the Brazilian gov
eminent, and their estimate is that they
contain no less than 1900, OOO, 900 tons
Of high grade ore. Minas Geraes has
one small iron works that is now smelt-
ing six tons Of metal a day at a profit
Of SIS per ton Experiments are being
made TO reduce the iron by electricity,
and the government has charge Of an
electric furnace at Ouro Preto which
has been recently erected at a cost Of
$4,000. The great trouble is the lack
Of good coal for smelling, and it is
question whether any such can be found
in Brazil
Brazil Rich in Iron Ore.
Iron ore is found in every Brazilian
state. One of the fields in Minas, which
is more than so miles long. is crossed
by the Central railroad, and the Leo
poldino railroad passes by other great
beds. In the state Of Parana there is
great deposit Of ore which is only three
miles from a seaport, and ore in large
quantities is known to exist in Sac
PaulO and Santa Catharina-
The iron ores Of Brazil are Of two dis
tinct types. The magnetic ores are
found in several states. They are Of
small Importance. occurring only as
scattered deposits. The hematite ores
are found chiefly in Minas Geraes. They
