As it is, it is held to be worth $2,000,000.

After cutting it ought to be worth from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000, therefore persons desiring to save money should buy it now.

It is owned by a syndicate, and apparently there is no satisfactory market for it.

It is earning nothing; it is eating its head off.

Up to this time it has made nobody rich but the native who found it.
He found it in a mine which was being worked by contract.
