Colonial Diamond Mining Company Crowned With Massive Dividend
The Colonial Diamond Mining Company of German Southwest Africa reportedly posted its largest dividend yet, increasing from 1183 to 2500 percent, after paying 3800 in 1815 and 2400 in 1910. Its director and chief shareholder Gatuch rose from railway official to multimillionaire and may chair an imperial diamond administration. The King of England’s stamps are among the rarest collections, while the late Earl of Crawford’s prized holdings sold in London for 46000, likely to end up in a museum. Chinese egg products for export expand with about 20 firms, centered near Hankow and Shanghai, reflecting long-standing industrial activity and growing overseas shipments.
