Acres of Diamonds and a South African find
A Pretoria dispatch reports J J Jonker, a 62 year old prospector, found a blue white diamond weighing 726 carats sold for 315000 dollars. After eighteen years of searching he plans to farm on a large scale, proving the old sermon that riches may lie at home, not afar. Only three diamonds larger than this have ever been found, the Cullinan stone leading England's crown jewels.
