DIAMOND FIND.
ANOTHER AT THE CAPE. CAPETOWN, April 7. The sensational discovery of a diamond field in a desolate region in Namaqualand, north of Port Nolloth, towards the mouth of the Orange River, is regarded as almost unique in the history of diamond prospecting. Isolated discoveries of diamonds have been made in that region as far back as 1909, but the present discovery has hitherto yielded diamonds to a value of £lOO,OOO, including a fine stone of 85.5 carats, valued at £7OOO. Further sensational finds are expected.
