The reported yield
Henry Janin reports recovering 824 carats of diamonds, valued at $5,800, from less than three thousand pounds of washed gravel. He considers the discovery wonderfully rich and expects it to be very profitable.
The yield is reported by Janin; profitability is his forecast. To assess that promise, our file compares the figures with the length of the visit and the points where the samples were reportedly collected.
CLIPPED text based on the checked witness: p. 156, cols. 2–3. Comments and search connections are editorial. Contemporary reprint of the favorable report, attributed to the Bulletin of 10 August; not Janin’s manuscript. The first three exhibits share this report.
