About Diamond Mining.
Diamond milling hottiui in Capo
Colony, South Africa, in 1807, when
a fow of tho Htouoa wero found.
Tho diamond uiinliiK dintrict coutora
at Klmtierley, and the mine of that
name la the richest of the mines.
Diamonds wore first mined for near
the surface, but exploitation shows
the rohih with depth und now
enormous openings or excavations,
000 feet or moro in depth, shows
tho marked search for the precious
stones. For the first 100 feet in
depth tho RemB were found om bedded
in a soft, friablo, yellowish earth.
Holow that the soil changed to slaty
color, boing more compact, and it
was thought that this chango in the
formation meant that no moro dia
monds would ho found below. This
slaty colored ground, or, as it is now
popularly known, blue ground,
called oven largor numbers of stones
than the upper formation, and it has
boon in this materia) that, mining has
boon carried on for ymirs. Tho
Peter U hod oh diamond, found at
Kimberly, weighed 1 HO carats and was
valued at 81100,000. A yellow dia
mond weighing i'28 and another
woighiug :i02 carats were found, but
their color made them far less valu
able than though thoy had been pure
white. Tho largest diamond ever
found South Africa was picked up lu
tho Orange Free State in IHO.'l and
weighed 071 carats, but as it con
tained a large Haw its value was
nominal.

now sixty feet, and a foot and a half
is being made por shift Ah pre
viuosly statod, tho vein will bo cross
cut when tho 100 is reachod. The
