piamOnd Mining In south Africa

The diamondiferous soil is quarried out below by Kafirs and deposited in great iron buckets which run on standing wire ropes, and are hauled up by steam to the receiving boxes on the brink of the mine. Everywhere is activity and hustle. and a loud hum comes up out of tho vast hole from 5000 to 4, 900 human beings engaged at work below. The men themselves look Ike so many flies as they dig away at the blue soil. and the thousands of wire ropes extending from every claim to the de posting boxes round the edge have the appearance of huge spiders web. while the buckets perpetually descending empty and ascending full might well represent the giant spiders
 Every thirteen or fourteen hafirs at work in the mine have Q white overseer, to prevent as much as possible that wholesale robbery which goes on among them. One would think they would find it rather hard to steal. and stll more difficult to conceal a diamond on their naked persons under the eye of the over seer; but. despite all precautions, they do steal Q vast number of stones. picking them up and carrying them away in their mouths or between their toes. The largest diamonds are usually unearthed in the mines before the stuff is washed, and an oyeTseer must keep bis eyes well open. for he cannot be sure of tho honesty of any one of his "boys.

THERE IS some talk of a fusion legisla- tive ticket in Pima county, but there IS no probability that anything of that na ture will be accomplished. Pima IS the banner Republican county of the Terri tory and as at least tour-ifths of her Legislative ticket will be Republican, the members of that body are but little likely to acquiess in an equal division of what they have heretofore practically controlled. Instead of fusing with the Democrats it behopves the Republicans of the county ss their convention, to put in nomination such men ss will commend the admiration and re- spect of the people. This being done. the only fusion necessary swill be at tbe ballot box where they will receive sn over whelminC majority to the discomfture of ell competitors for leg islstive houors. Put up the right kind of msterial and then fuse the voters of tbe county in their behalf and there need then be no fear that the interests of Pima will not be carefully and ooncien- tiorsly attended to.

 A small, nervous looking man of uncertain aoe was standing at the street entrance of Q down town theatre O few evenings ago. There was a peculiarity in his appearance which soon attracted the attention of a re- porter. Despite tho mans strongly marked couutanance and whitened hair and beard, which were neatly trimmed, he was rather foppishly attired and carried light gold headed cane. Presently as the crowd began to gather the slunabering energies within him awoka As each person passcd him and en- tered the theatre his sharp, searching blncA eyes carefully scanned bis teatules and then turned to the next conner. | The reporter approached the old gentle man and engaged him in conversation. The | stranger turned, looked at him steadily for a ! moment and then extended his hand with a warm, impUlsive smile.
