 Details concerning the field in Ma maQualand, in northwest Cape Col ony were related in the South Africa assembly at CapetoWn yester- day, Minister of Mines F. W. Beyers described is as an Eldorado, unique in the history of the country.
 He said he had picked up in one hour diamonds valued at $500, tSo,- 0o0). Experts were announced to have taken diamonds valued al fl6o,0o0 (s70o, ,0o0) in few weeks hand picking from one hundred claims owned by the government. The area contains 30,000 claims.
 "It IS the biggest diamond field ever discovered anywhere, asserted Sir Davis Harris, assemblynan from Kimberly and a director Of Dehbeefs Consolidated Mines, Ltd.

 This was taken here to mean that a close watch would be kept on the output and provisions made to pre- vent the market from pelhs swamped.
 Minister Beyers, in announcing that the government intended 10 de- c,a,e the entire area state dlgglnss' was held today to have confirmed this view.
