The Pall Mall Gazette’s Australia correspondent reports a vast diamond field near Herd in Victoria with a drillable reef and a mine rankling as the world’s richest. Captain Rogers, an elderly pioneer, opened up a drift yielding many diamonds and proving a major ore body with matrix near the surface. London Amsterdam New York declare stones among the best and a potential Rothschild interest looms amid advancing age and blindness. The piece also humorously notes a New York couple using telegraph-like signals via forks and glasses in a long dinner scene.
