CORNISH
MINERS' RED CROSS DRIVE
QUEENS OF THEATRE
CORNISH MINERS WHO WORKED IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1898 HAVE MADE POSSIBLE A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE RED CROSS FUND.
A Cornish lady living in South Africa 42 years ago was given a diamond and gold tiara by her [own countrymen working in the mines there as a tribute of their appreciation and affection.
The gold came from the Johan- nesburg mines and the diamonds, each without flaw, from Kimber- ley. The miners collected £500 themselves,, designed the tiara and had it made up in Johannes- burg.
The lady has now sent it to be; sold in aid of the Red Cross Fund. She wishes it to be regarded as a gift from the miners and not her- self, and so has asked that her name not be divulged.-Reuter. ·
