Diamonds.

A mining journal has the following to
say In regard to the above precious
stones and the formation in which they
are found, that would lead us to believe
that the discovery Of them in this coun-
try was only a question of a thorough
search:
Until the South African mines were
discovered, the diamond was always
found in sands and gravels, different
from the minerals in which il was be-
lieved TO be formed. At Griqnaland
N est, however, the consolidated eru,-
tive mud Of the mines was believed bv
some TO be the true matrix of the iii =
mond but opinions differed on the
question, and arguments were found on
both sides. NJ. Chaper, a French geol /.
gist, has, however, during a scientific
mission to Hindnstan, succeeded in finG-
ing the diamond in it's mother rock. At
Nlizam, near Bellary. in the Madras
Presidency, NJ. Chaper has found the
diamond in a matrix Of rose pcgmatite,
where it is associated with corundum.
The tract Of country is almost denuded
o trees, bare and rocky. and the rains
wasting the rocks every year expose
fresh diamonds i'm the soil. The rock is
traversed by veins Of feldspar and
epidotiferous quartz. Here the dia-
mond is always found associated with
epidotiferous rose pegmatite. The dia.
mond crystals observed are o~ctahedral.
but less distinct in line than the stones
of South Africa, which seem to have
been formed in a freer matrix. 1t fol
lows from NJ. Chaper's discovery that
diamonds may exist in all rocks arising
from the destruction or erosion Of peg.
matite-for example, in quarzites with
or without mica, clays, pudding, stones,
etc.

Supreme Court.

The supreme court adjourned, at
Yankton, last Wednesday. Among
many decisions rendered, were the fol
lowing of local interest:
Peter c. Murphy VS.. Hugh s. Murphy.
Judgment reversed. This was a casd
testing the validity Of the law passed by
the last legislature, making the Office o.
clerks elective. The organic act pro-
svides that judges shall appoint thei
clerks. Those who favored the passage
of the bill, argued that the provision oil
the organic act applied only a United
States district court was held, namely at
Yankton. Fargo aud Deadwood. but tha,
in all other counties it was proper and
lawful for the people to elect clerks oil
conrt. In a number Of counties thi,
matter has caused considerable trouble
The subject is now settled, rs all judges
agree in setting the law aside. Nonina.
tons for clerks have been ganerally
made in various counties.
Joseph Ram sdell vs.. w. Baird, treas
urer of Lawrence county. Appeal dis.
missed.
As far as the Black Hills are concern.
ed, this was the most important case
and decision Of the term. Ramsdell was
assessed upon the possessory right Of
his ranch, and refused payment, where
upon treasurer Baird levied upon q
quantity Of grain, and advertised the
same for sale. On the day previous to
the sale, Ramsdell by payment Of as,
sessment, obtained release, and at once
brought action against the treasurer and
his b~ondsmen, and the county commits.
sioHars. Upon tria! before Judge
Church, action aginst the treasurer wa.
dismissed, and Judgment for plaintiff
rendered in the case against the com
m~issioners, who thereupon appealed
with result as above announced which
practically declares that possessory
rights are n~on-taxabie.

The Valentine Extension,

In Nebraska the only new work worth
mentioning is the Valentine extension
Of the Elkhorn line. This work is O
the utmost importance to Sioux City.
As has been often shown, the Elkhorn
line must always give Sioux City the
same freight rate as is given the Union
Pacific town of Omaha. This enables
Sioux City trade to 90 rs far west As the
track eoes. That will he a long ways.
The Valentine extension is evidently to
DO the Pacific line Of the Vanderbilt sys.
tenn, n system that extends from New
York to st. Paul, st. Louis to Pierre, and
torches most intermediate points Of i'm
portance. On the extension, west Of
Valentine, ninety miles are under con-
tract, and will be nearly graded when
winte. stops the work. The line he.
yond the end of the contract is located
for twenty five miles to point just be-
yond the corner Of the great Sioux

The Junction.

Cy Robbins who was in from the
above property the first Of this week in
formed us that they had just made a
cleanup after running through 600 tons
Of the ore, which showed that the rock
averaged $3.50 to the ton giving a profit
Of $3.50 per ton. The mill will continue
in operation. The new tramway cor
meeting with the old one at n point 1900
feet from the shaft on the east side will
be completed by to-day and materially
lessen the cost Of Transporting the ore
