Low STAGE OF WArER.-The uncommon win
ter and summer has produced a marked effect
on the streams in this section. Trinity river is
much lower now than ever before known. AT
one ford, below McGillivrays, the river is hardly
shoe-top deep in any place. Trinity river has
been one Of the richest streams in the State, and
with its waters as low as they are this season
can be probably worked in many places.
Miners out of employment should take this
fact into serious consideration. Any unworked
spot on the river is pretty sure to pay good
wages, and it is in just such streams that large
sums of money are taken out in few days.

A Diamond Story.

A remarkable diamond story has been
set afaot in the eastern part of this State
which is briefly as follows: Nearly CEN
tury ago an old gentleman in the lower
part of Virginia picked up stone to
throw at a rabbit; the stone glittered in
the sun, and the old man concluded to
take it home to his children to play with
Shortley afterwards the family physician
happened to see the stone, and offered six
dollars for it, but the family would no,
sell. Subsequently trus'y friend about to
visit Europe was given the stone, and on
reaching London he consulted an old
lapidary named Nox; who, after carefully
examination, declared that Gall America
is not able to buy that stone" a Jew,
whom the trusty friend afterwards con-
Quilted, infOrme1 him not to come out with
out guard, as be would be robbed, were
it known he bad it. The friend returned
home and delivered up the precious gem.
Some time afterward party Of six Mary
landers offered for the stone in lands and
negroes the equivalent of one hundred
thousand dollars, which was refused. The
old man died and the stone remained in
the family for several generations, and re
Gently, SO runs the story, it came into the
possession of DR.. Dougherty, of Mechanics
burg, Pennsylvania, whose children are
legal heirs. 1t is claimed to be a diamond
of first quality, and weighs four hundred
and fifty carats, whilst that of the Rejah
of Mattan( CO, said to be the largestin the
world, weighs only three hundred and
sixty seven carats. The stone has been
sent away to pass the scrutiny of the "a
blest scientific men in the country, aud the
Harrisburg State Guard, which is res
ponsible for the story of which the above
is an outline, says "there is reason to be
lieve that America can boast the largest

a letter TO the Cheyenne Leader from
one Of the civil engineers on the Central
Pacific Railroad, thus describes pound
of warm water in what seems to be the
crater of an extinct volcano, near the
North Fork of Humboldt river Nevada /.
Il must tell you about one remarkable
curiosity we camped near-a curious hot
spring. 1t is situated in crater about
two hundred feet in diameter, on the top
of knoll which rises about fifty feet
above the river. In the bottom of the
crater is long eliptical pool, perhaps $50
feet long in one direction and seventy FIVE
in the other-a mammonth bath tub in
shape. The depth of water IS unknown,
no lines brought here having been long
enough to reach bottom. In one part
the water is just hot enough to enable
the hand to be held in it, aud the re-
mainder of the pool varies from this to
lukewarmness. The walls are nearly
vertical, and you can imagine the lnaury
n plunge into it, with no fear Of striking
bottom. just think, too, of swimming
about, on cold November day, with the
rising steam deposited in frost upon the
