Dismond Production of

South Africa.

The total diamond production of the Union of South Africa for 1915 is returned as being 103,385- car ts, valued at £399,810; in 1914 the output was 2,801,014 carats, of the value of £5,487,194. Pretoris district last year pro- duced 2,150 carats, valus EL.698; river digging, 33,502 carats, value £126,419; Caps, 66,471 carats, value £266,198; ro State, 1,240 carats, value £5,545. The restricted output for 1915 is, of course, wholly due to the war, which had the effect of practically ck sing down diamond mining operations in the Union. The
