Jacques Cartier led his third and last expedition to the St.-Lawrence river valley in 1541. A new headquarters was established a few miles upstream from the Amerindian village of Stadacona, near the present site of Quebec City. This time Cartier was to be followed by Jean Francois de la Rocque, sieur de Roberval, with a party of colonists. After a wait which lasted through the following winter, Cartier set sail for home, only to meet Roberval\\u2019s party in three tall ships in the harbor of what is now St. John\\u2019s, Newfoundland. Diamonds of Canada, mined by Jacques Cartier\'s men at the mouth of Rivi\\xe8re du Cap-Rouge proved to be worthless quartz. Cartier\\u2019s "treasure" is remembered in the name of Qu\\xe9bec\\u2019s Cape Diamond or Cap aux Diamants and also in the French proverb "Faux comme un diamant du Canada", "As false as Canadian diamonds."
