BLACK DIAMONDS USED IN
DRILLS QUITE IALIADLE
NEW YORK, Oct. 14. (/P) — In
the heart of Times Square, the
world’s king of black diamonds
scoffs at the idea of police pro
tection for his priceless stock in
trade.
He is Arthur S Bandler, owner
of probably the only large black;
diamond concession ever obtain- j
ed. He spent seven years in the;
wilds of Brazil developing the uni- j
que business and in the last 30j
years has handled about $20.000,-!
000 in the rare gems, according to!
the Denver Mining Record.
“Bandits won’t bother us,” he
declared. “No burglar would be-1
lieve these stones worth anything.
If they did they couldn’t do any
thing with them- Black diamonds
can be sold only to mining camps
and engineers. There are only a
handful of firms in the world
that would handle them. Robbers
wouldn’t stand a chance of dis
posing of their booty.”
The rusty looking stones are
unhandsome enough—just ugly,
dakish stuff, which Bandler
crushes in special machinery in
his office.
“You wouldn’t pick it up in the
street, would you?” he grinned
“Well, it’s worth more per carat
than a white diamond. A woman
sales expert, among others, takes
small units, worth about $100,000
all told, and visits mining camps
all over the world. '.Sometimes she
has to ride horseback into far off
regions, far from rail lines, to her
customers. But she goes just the
same, and presently, on the bit
ing end of the drill, one of these
stones will go down 6000 feet into
the earth and bring up core for
analysis.”
The jet stuff comes from the
interior of Brazil where 1400 na
tives, hired at 2 cents a day each,
do the mining and transporting

Bandler has built a colony around
his concession with schools and
a hospital, and his doctors have
reduced malaria almost to nil
among them.
“I had to pay $120 a carat for
the stones,” he said, “and later
| $150. I bought $1,000,000 worth
j in 1925-26 and finally the Brazil
ian combination backed out. The
price never came down until the
recent depression.”
