@An American company did ex-
tensive prospecting there assisted
By natives who told wild stories OF

Then came the financial depres-
sion which so affected the demand
for and the price of diamonds that
eventually even the famous Kim
herley mines of Johannesburg
closed down declaring that enough
diamonds were already mined to
supply the world market for three
years. Kimberley is said to fur

crease Of 80 cents per $1,000. being
s31 per $1,000 as against $3.50 for
1921, this announcement being made
by Secretary Leroy H. Rand of the

Rand stated that the sal rate is de-
fnitely established.
While this reduction is small it
demonstrates that Mayor Lawren

estimated early in the year, the re-
duction would has been materially
greater, according TO the estimate Of
