MORE DIAMONDS.

lFfom the s. F. Chronicle Of Yesterday.l :
The Intelligent prospector nowadays
iands rubles In rivuleta sapphires In
sand dunes, emeralds In ant hills, and
jewels In everything. Since the dis
covery Of Lent Roberts, Harpendlng
& Co.'s claims last Summer, diamonds
have been found In profuslon In every
known quarter Of the great West. At
the rate things arc going on we shall
soon have the whole OF North America
Ablaze with brilllants, and shoddy will
splurge and sparkle In ell tho glorious
effulgence of "many q gem Of purest
ray serene - real diamonds, not
paste. Recently the location Of the
diamond fields has been travelling west
ward, and judging by present appear
ances 1t will not be long before we
shall have our own familiar sand hills
flashing with jewels and alive With
p~rospectors. This suspicion Is con-
iirmed by recent discoveries and devel-
opments. On Tuesday evening George
A. Treadwell, mining operator aud
Secretary of the Original Diamond
Discovery and Mining Company, re-
ceIved a consignment Of fifty or sixty
diamonds from a private little jewel
ranch Of his own, In some must-be-
kept-secret and newly-dlscoyered To-
oaiity. We are confldentlally In
formed that this new diamond Held is
within less than i've hundred miles OF
this city. This shipment was made
BY a private party sent out BY MI.
Treadwell, and IL his own private spec,
having no connection with. any Of the
numerous companies organized In this
CITY. 1t Is said that there ls no stock
to sell, and that only the parties d.
rectly interested can expect 70 derive
any benefit from the discovery.
Among the diamonds Is one of a pc
culiar yellowlsh color, weighing one
and three-Quarter carats, which has
been set, In Its natural condition, In Q
gold ring, and even In Its rough, UNI
polished state Ii a brilliant OF great
beauty. The other stones In the col
lection are small, ranging from the
size Of a pinhead down to that of q
shyster's soul. They have been ex-
amined and tested by Mr.. Sherwood Of
Barrett & Sherwood, jewelers., and by
Froutier d Rellemere, professional
lapidaries, and have been pronounced
to be diamonds Of unimpeachable
purity. But this Is not all ; the frosty
North Is not to DO outdone. A dis
patch has been received from Victoria
informing NJ that a real " diamond
field has been found near Hot Creek.
One of the largest of the many stones
found there will be sent to this city to
be tested, and II 1t proves to be gen.
uine, we may possibly have another
Fraser River excitement In the Spring.

Woop HIGH.-The cost Of wood
along the line Of the railroad on the
eastern slope Of the Sierra, says the
Truckee Republican, has increased
twenty per cent. within q year, and
the prospects are that 1t will increase
as much more the coming year. The
opening of the railroad from Reno to
Virginia City will create the addition
al demand for wood from this vicinity.
Every here Of tlmbered land In this
region that Is accessible, In the hands
Of the Government or the railroad
company, IL worth all that Is asked for
1t now, and must increase In value
every year hereafter as long as. the
timber remains uncut. There Is no
safer or better investment tor money
than the tlmbered lands In this region.
At Reno, last year, wood brought $5.a
cord. This year 1t IL worth S6, and
scarce at that.

Honolulu.

Honolulu is one oil the most charm
ing spots In the world, and seems des-
tined by nature for a watering place.
1t Is not big enough for great noun
talns, broad rivers, or waterfalls. But
the curious volcanic waters that partly
glrdle it give it weirdness of aspect
that makes the outlines of the coast
very striking; the thickly wooded hills
OF the interior throw out green spurs
toward the sea or descend upon dark
gorges, and the level land is in part
garden already, and only wants culture to
become one everywhere. Nowhere, ex-
cept in Ceylon, have l seen such luxuri-
Gus vegetation, and the skill of the gar
dener has done more here than in the
Indian Island. Every fruit that grows
IN the warmer parts of Asia finds home
in Honolulu; and many glorious
Japanese flowers, waxen-leaved lilies of
every hue, and delicate-textured ferns
have already been naturalized. Then
the climate is delicious. l had ex
pected moist, sitting atmosphere, like
that OF dollhouse; but the prevailing
wind gets dried in blowing over the hot.
volcanic rocks, and the air is buoyant
and bracing as in the hill ranges of Aus
tralia. can imagine Anglo-Indians
coming here to recruit, though the
thermometer never falls below IS de-
grees, and is at times 20 degrees higher.
But my greatest surprise has been in
the natives. My judgment has not been
perverted by my senses, for neither
men nor women have much comeliness,
and the latter are often portentiouslv
tat, and age prematurely. But there is
capacity for high breeding among the
upper classes, united to certain effu-
slve kindness, which makes their
society very charming The women
have soft, low voices, and perfect self
respect in their bearing. The most
striking characteristic of the lower
classes seems to be their general JOYOUS
ness of an innocent kind, for inferior
men are kept from drink by sharp penal
laws, and the head of the police tells
nae that the serious charges on the list
are mostly against foreigners. Out of
doors, riding at full speed seems to be
the great enjoyment. Just now public
entertainments flourish, and four com
panles, including an opera troupe from
the States, are giving performances.
But this is exceptional, and the native
love OF gayety most generally contents
itself with whatever is to be found in
the social circles of the small island
homes.-The Spectator.

A City Buried in Snow.
From the Grass Valley (Cal.l Union.


Meadow Lake City, which was once
called Summit City, boosted in DAYS
gone by of population of 5000 OF
1000 souls. In It's day of prosperity it
had fine stores, good hotels, theaters.
saloons in number, and an exchange at
which mining stocks were sold. In
1865, some persons found gold bearing
rock in some lodges around Meadow
Lake and these being assayed and the
assays being talked about, the CITY of
Summit or Meadow Lake was born. It
sprung up, like Jonah's gourd, in a
night. But the lodges failed to Weld
up their treasures in paying quantities
and the city is now completely deserted.
A few days ago friend of our visited
Meadow Lake City. He went up on
snow-shoes and took look at the de-
serted and snow-covered place. The
houses which were only one-story in
height were covered to their roofs with
snow. The two-story houses were sur
rounded with now to the height of the
second story. Not living being was
seen by our friend. He was monarch of
that snowy desolation. Signs swung in
the cold wind, and just grazed in their
swinging the surface of the snow.
Prominent among the signs was that
OF brokers' Office, just opposite the
old hall of the board of brokers. The
large hotel there was yet furnished. and
the beds and bedding still remained.
Our friend standing in his snow-shoes
gazed into the hotel while he stood on
the snow surface. level with the second
story, and saw clean linen on the de-
serted beds. He wanted to take a rest
in the comfortable quarters, but there
was no fuel or food in sight, and he had
to 60 down lower, to a ditch-tender's
cabin to get fire and appeas his hunger.
Many of the houses have this winter
been broken down by tie weight of
snow on their roofs, but many more re-
main just as they were when their own.
ers left. The property deserted is
safe, as cold and snow have locked
all against the depreciation of burglars.
Meadow Lake is winter residence no
more

Maine SmeIt Fisheries.

From the Bangor (Me) Wing, Feb. IL.
Probably but few of our readers have
an idea of the extensive character of the
business of smelt fisheries, which is oar
RED on below us on the Penobscot. The
fishing begins about the first of Noyem
Der and lasts till the middle of March.
There are now in operation in the vi
entity of Winterport fifteen trap nets"
and from seventy-fve to one hundred
pole nets" Each set is the property
OF an individual who runs it on his own
account, the men combining forces in
setting and hauling them. As the nets
are set and hauled on each tide. the
men camp together. generally two in a
camp, to work the tides night and day.
The trap nets" are formed of a bag
selve fastened to a wood frame thirty
feet long by eighteen deep, with thirty
feet bag, the frame forming the open
mouth into which the tide flows. The
lower portion is weighted and sunk yer.
tlcally, and sustained in position by
guys to an anchored buoy. The com
mon nets are used under the ice, a long
trench being cut for the purpose. with a
pole fixed at either end with puIlevs
at the bottom to draw the net down and
up. These nets are scattered up and
down the river, with camps convent
emily located. The trap nets" are
considered superior to the Others. and
cost about $50 each. Two hauis in
twenty-four hours are made, and one
and one-half bushels, or I25 pounds, is
considered an average catch.
The fish are piled up on shore. the
smelts and tom-cods sorted and then
haulded to the steamer, each man ship
ping has his lot to New York on the
steamer, and sometimes in busy seasons
by rail. An idea of the extent of the
business may be formed from the fact
that the Katahdin has taken one trip
thirty-tive tons of smelts, or something
over 100000 fishes. There are 300 or
400 employed altogether in this work,
and this season it has been very profita-
bic. The price has ranged from fifteen
to twenty cents per pound, and single
nets have returned the owners, in some
instances, upward of $500. The total
quantity taken this winter will reach
several hundred tons, bringing in a
handsome revenue of more than $50, 900

A Generous Giyer.

Yesterday morning lady from the
East, W no crossed from the Great West
ern depot to the Detroit and Milwaukee
road to go West, dropped her pocket
book in the depot at Windsor, and
made an cutlery enough to scare every
one within block. Aragged little boy,
with his hair sticking up throug Oh an old
hat, and his toes peeping out of his
boots, came forward with the pocket
book, which he had found. 1t con-
tanned, as the lady informed the railroad
officials, 81 900 in bonds, $1,000 in notes.
and 81 900 in greenbacks, making its
cash value to her as good as $4,000.
She was, of course, well pleased with the
boys action, and asked his name, age.
the circumstances of the family, and
finally opened the pocket book to re-
ward him. She hunted all through it.
found two ten-cent shin-plasters, and.
handing them to the lad, told him to
always remember that good action
was always sure to bring good reward.
The boy jerked off his hat, thanked
her, and ran off to buy ten cords of
wood and barrel of -four, and other
stuff to last his widowed mother until
spring. He's going to look for pocket
books all the rest of the winter, and
when he finds another, he's going to
hand it right over-probably.-Detroit

An Unworthy Descendant of a Brave
Man.

The average American looks with
vast contempt on the wretched Euro
pean who boasts of his long line of dis
tlnguished ancestors. 1t is only when
we can utilize ours, by turning their
memory into cash, that we ever allow
ourselves to refer to them A good in
stance of this curious blending of senti-
ment and shrewdness may be found in
petition just presented to Congress by
the remote descendants of Sergeant
John Champe. After Arnold had made
good his escape, and Andre was living
under sentence of death, Sergeant
Champe was detailed to enter the Brit
ish army, and try to carry off the traitor.
IN order that he, and not his victim,
might suffer for his crimes. The plot
failed. Andre was hung. Champe re-
deserted, and was given an honorable
discharge from the American army, lest
he should be captured by the British.
and hung as spy. Nearly hundred
years later, remote descendent, whose
sole claim to distinction is that he
deigned to be born of mother who
had flowing in her veins a little of the
Champe blood, asks Congress to grant
him some land as a reward of merit.
We trust that the impertinent request
will be promptly denied, and the remote
descendent taught that his ancestors
bravery does not authorize his begging.

A Bachelor Victim.

" A rich old bachelor became tired of
his state of ingle-blessedness, and
wanted some one to nurse him when he
had the govt" That is the way the
victims story begins, and now let us see
how he gratified his ambition. "He
met fond mamma with many daugh-
tiers. She OWNED his desire and
sounded the praises Of sweet Jemima,
the eldest, who was renowned as a
nurse. He was told that she was lust
out of her teens. He thought she
looked thin, but was assured that she
was only fatigued with nursing a sick
relative who had the govt. He saw her
only in dim lights; he wavered, he
hesitated, he was lost. The bride spent
her honeymoon nursing her equity hus-
band, who, as soon as she had cured
him, turned round and sued the mother
for fraud, inasmuch as she had passed
her daughter off as girl just out of her
teens, when, in truth she was over thirty,
and had false hair, false teeth, etc. He
recovered the damages he claimed, and
also kept his wife, from whom he had
no idea of parting" 1t is not every one
that would nave had such luck.

Buffalo Hunt at Niagara.

A grand entertainment has been pro
jected, to come off at Niagara Falls or
the oath of May next. Several wild
bufaloes are to be let loose on the com
mons and hunted down by Sioux, Paw
nee, Kickapoo, and Six Nation Indians,
imported from the plains with their
ponies for the purpose. Buffalo Bill"
is expected to take part in the hunt.
The affair is to be supplemented by a
sham fight with bows and arrows by the
Indians, of whom it is expected that
several hundred will be present. The
Niagarans confidently anticipate the OPP
portunity Of plucking some $4,000
strangers on the occasion. The enter
prise is in the hands of Hamilton, Ont,
parties.
