It Is Supposed That Great Wealth Wil Some Day He Unearthed. Although considerable numbers of diamonds are continually being found in Australia, chiefly in New South Wales, the true matrix has never been discovered. In that colony there Is evidence in cvery case to show that the stones were drifted from their original matrix to the places where they were found, but up to the present its locale and nature remain unknown says Public Opinfon. When both have been ascertained it is probaule thal New South Wales will become one Of the leading diamond producing coun- tries of the world, but the work of prospecting is dificult, tedious and costly, by reason of the mountainous character of the country in which gems are principally found, The fin- est stones yet known were obtained several years ago from the Cudgegong river, rising in the Australian Alps and running through auriferous coun- try in the northwestern portion of the colony. No regular search is being made at the present time for the stones, the gold mining industries be- ing found of a more certain and re- munerative character, but at Bingeri and other portions of New England district, in the northern portion of the colony, diamond mining is actively carried on, the stones generally being small ,and many “off color.” Others of the same kind are found at Inverell, in the same country. Not a few of the stones obtained at either place would be class€d gs first water by the expert, being white, free from speck or flaw, but their ex- ting expensive in proportion to their size. Considerable numbers of dia- monds from Bingera, Inverell and oth- er places are annually scld in Europe, the larger stones bringing good prices cut, weighed slightly under a carat, other, with a greenish tinge, weighing half a carat, when cut, bringing The stones average abo four to the carat in the rough sto For dla- mond drills and similar ant rial pur- poses, the New South Wales stones are simply invaluable, and are pre- ferred to those of other diamond pro- ducing countries.

The FEEDING ON THE have been that the sheep manure was evenly distributed while the sheep were feeding, aad as the sheep were also fed grain the lund was enriched for future crops.
