South Carolina Diamonds.

There has been much excitement in
Seneca City for the past few days.
caused by the discovery of diamonds in
an old gold mine. For years gold min
ing has been carried on to q greater or
less extent in that vicinity. Some two
or three years since Colonel John Coch-
ran mined quite extensively, with what
success was not generally known. Some
two weeks since Mr.. Joseph Blanny,
hailing from England. came to Seneca
on his way from Western North Caro-
lima, prospecting for mica, and was in
duced to 90 down and look around
where Colonel Cochran had been min
ing for gold. He went to panning on .
farm adjoining the Cochran mine. and
was rewarded by washing out several
diamonds. He sent some of them to
Tiffany & Co., of New York, and one
of their experts came ont and pro-
nounced them genuine straw colored
diamonds, equal to the African dia-
monds. Mr.. Blanny has purchased
eight hundred feet square from the own
ers of the land for $4,000, and proposes
to go regularly into the business, not as
a stock company, but on his own ac-

How . Stage. Coach was Robbed.

One Of the boldest and most daring rob.
berries ever perpetrated in this State took
place few miles this side of Pagosa Springs
on Thursday night, the passengers on Sam
derson h Co.'s stage being the victims.
From an interview held with all the passen-
gers who were on the stage at the time the
road-agents captured it we learn the follow.
ing facts:
Sanderson & Co.'s stage coach, Charley
Gates, Of this city, driver, left Amargo, New
Mexico, the present terminus of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad, at the usual time
on Thursday, with seven passengers aboard.
At about eight O'Clock in the evening the
coach had passed through the rough gulch,
about three miles this side of Pagosa
Springs, and was just entering the park
when four horsemen came up the road and
halted, two horsemen on each side. When
the coach was nearly opposite them
the leader called out: Hands
up, there Is man inside we
want" They then rode nearer to the
stage and commanded the passengers
to file out and stand in line, at the same time
covering the passengers with eight Colts
No. As revolvers. When the occupants of
the coach were in line, the robbers compile
mented them on their soldier-like appear
ance and proceeded to relieve them Of their
money, watches and chains and jewelry.
They managed to get about 81 900 in cash,
81, 800 in drafts, five watches and chains, fou
finger rings, and diamond pin. After CIV
ing up their valuables the passengers were
allowed to resume their seats in the coach,
and when the coach was about to start, and
the road-agents were turning to leave the
scene of their operations, one Of them sud-
denly made up his mind that there was q
better horse attached to the stage than the
one he possessed; so the party returned, and
the fastidious highwayman Embarrassed the
horse that seemed to take his fancy and re-
placed him with little broncho he was rid
ing. When the passengers arrived at this
place they were 4" fiat broke" and some of
the commercial men remarked that if their
houses wanted to do any more business in
this part of the State, they could do it through
the mail.-Duras,go (Colo Record.

the boys are filling up the barrels Of these
dangerous playthings with sand after having
loaded them with blank cartridge. No bet

The trip of Enoch Moore, Jr., one

State, to Washington on Thursday
last was in every way a successful
one. He met the U. S. Fish Cons

arrangements with that official
whereby he would obtain plenty of
young carp until it was too cold to
ship them. He returned home on
the evening of the same day brings
ing with him about one hundred of
the young fish, which he has already
distributed. Mr.. Moore intends dis.
tributing the fish that he receives to
those who have suitable ponds or
streams wherein to deposit them,
and persons having such places can
obtain the fish by addressing Mr..

The buildings of the Sibley Cots
ton Manufacturing Company at
Augusta, Ga. will be completed in a
few weeks and ready for the ma
chinery. The main building Is
claimed to be one of the finest in
the country. 1t has four stories and
is $50 feet long and rs feet wide.
These dimensions afford floor or
space OF about l55 900 feet, and will
easily accommodate 1000 loems
and 10000 spindles. 1t is proposed,
however, to begin manufacturing
with only 700 looms and 20, 600 SPIN
dies, to avoid further increase of
stock, or issuance of bonds or other
lndebtedness-the policy of the d.
rection being to pay as they go.
The prospective opportunities for
extension and growth are all that
could be desired, for by adding a
wing to each end of the building,
half the size of the building itself,
there would be room for 1900 looms
and 80, 900 spindles, all of which can
be driven without the expense OF
further work upon the water supply
The company, which has a capital
stock of 81 1000 900, will begin man
ufacturing in January, not dollar
