Good News, v. 6, no. 148, March 4, 1893 (Issue) |
| Date: |
March 4, 1893 |
| First Sentence: |
Less than twenty years ago the celebrated Kimberley diamond mine in Africa was a farm, and it was not until a passing traveler noticed the pretty and brilliant stones that the farmers' children were playing with, and that any one dreamed of the fabulous wealth of diamonds hidden below. |
| Last Sentence: |
"...The diamonds on the table were about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in value in the rough, and of course would be worth much more when polished, and I longed to be able to bring away a few of the finest." |
