I have gathered, both by Experience of several of the places I have seen, and the best Informations I could meet with, of the Mines in this Kingdom; I shall now proceed to those in _Visiapore_. _Visiapore_ is known to contain Mines enclosing Stones as large and good as those of _Golconda_; but the King, for Reasons already given, makes use but of the meanest: Whereby, as _Golconda_ is famous for the largeness of those it affords, _Visiapore_ is noted for the smallest; whose Mines, though they seldom or never render an Adventurer a Fortune or Estate at once, as sometimes those of _Golconda_ do, by a great Stone or several found together; yet they are more Populous and better employed, the small Stones lying thicker in the Earth, so that the generality are gainers, and few but they get their Expence; whereas those of _Golconda_ dig away a considerable Estate and find nothing, others not their Charges, and where one is a gainer, divers lose. There are 15 Mines employed in the Kingdom of _Visiapore_, viz. _Ramulconeta_, _Banugunnapellee_, _Pendekull_, _Moodawarum_, _Cumerwillee_, _Paulkull_, _Workull_, _Lungeepoleur_, _Pootloor_, _Punchelingull_, _Shingarrampent_, _Tondarpaar_, _Gundepellee_, _Donee_ and _Gazerpellee_. In _Ramulconeta_ Mines in red Earth, about 15 or 16 Foot deep, they seldom find a Diamond of a _mangelleen_ weight, but small to 20 or 30 in a _mangelleen_. They are generally of an excellent Crystalline Water, have a bright clear Skin, inclining frequently to a pale greenish Colour, are well shaped, but few of them, pointed ones. There are also found among them several broken pieces of Diamonds, by the Country People called _Shemboes_. In _Banugunnapellee_, _Pendekull_, and _Moodawarum_, they dig as at _Ramulconeta_, and in the same kind of Earth; they also afford Stones much alike, being neighbouring Places. _Cummerwillee_, _Paulkull_, and _Workull_, are not far distant, produce Stones much alike out of the same coloured Earth, but very small ones even to a hundred in a _mangelleen_. _Lungepoleur_ Mines are of a yellowish Earth (like those of _Quoleur_,) its Diamonds are generally well shaped, globular, few pointed, of a very good Crystalline Water and bright Skins; many of them have a thick dark Grass-green Skin, some spotted also with Black, that they seem all foul, yet are not so, but within purely white and clean. Their sizes are from 2 or 3 _mangelleens_ downwards, but few very small. _Pootloor_ Mines are of reddish Earth, but afford Stones much like those of _Lungepoleur_, only smaller, under a _mangelleen_; the general sizes are of ½, ⅓, ¼, ⅙ of a _mangelleen_. _Punchelingull_, _Shingarrampent_, and _Tondarpaar_, are also of red Earth, their Diamonds not unlike those of _Quoleur_, only rarely or never any large ones are found there. _Gundepellee_ hath the same Earth with the former, and produces Stones of equal Magnitude; but frequently of a pure Crystalline Water, wherein they exceed the former.
