There appears some possibility (writes a Johannesburg correspondent) of the Pretoria district rivalling Kimberly as regards diamond production. Recent finds have caused a furore in speculative circles. Pretoria diamonds being among the few stocks that are showing any go on the ’Change. Diamonds have always been procurable in areas near the capital, but in years past the finds were not numerous enough to justify extensive operations being carried : out. Quite recently, however, some extraordinary yields have been reported, warranting the belief that the ground can be profitably worked. Kimberley people are becoming envious, alarmed really, at the likelihood of the Transvaal becoming a centre of trade in precious stones.
