"Mining Industries of South Africa. "
Ho said that since 1 7 , when the diamond

have boon exported from Caj > Colony
moro than fiO.UOO.OOO carats of diamonds ,
the vnluo of which approached 70,000-

fcot high. Putting It another way , they
would fill u couple of Pickfnrd's vans.
The figures are large , and are , I should
fancy , open to correction : but Mr. T.

knows what ho is talking about.
