NEW YORK, November 14-Now that Peter

California Athletic Club will put up a
tempting purse for them to battle for,

which, in fact, was the only thing that he could
do since Jem Smith has been knocked out.
McCaffrey is the only other man left who is
willing TO meet the champion.

year, and will be ready to fight jackson at any
time he gets chance, and if he defeats him he
will return to his native land twice as popular
as be was before he went to England.

Searching for Gems I'm Ceylon.

A correspondent of the Ceylon Observer in
a recent issue of that journal, describes the
district in Ceylon in which gems have hitherto
been most commonly found, and the method
employed by the natives in digging for them.
Ratnapura, or the ''city Of gems" is the center
OF district 20 to 80 miles square, in almost all
of which a stratum Of gravel feet to 20 feet
under the surface exists. Throughout this
area gem pits are to be seen near the villages
some being worked now, others being aban-
doned. The natives work there in companies
of six or eight and pay rupee per man per
month for the privilege OF working a certain
allotment where they begin by marking of a
square of about 10 feet. After removing about
feet Of soil, the sounding-rod-a piece Of iron
about half an inch in diameter and 6 feet long
lis used to sound for gravel II successful,
the digging is begun in earnest till about feet
deep. On the second day gravel is taken out
by means of baskets handed from one man to
another till all within the square is excavated.
On the third day It is all washed in wicker
baskets by circular jerking motion, which
throws out ali the surplus light stone and rub
bish, till q good quantity OF heavy gravel is
left in the bottom, which is carefully examined.
There is hardly baskctful that does not con-
tain some gems OF inferior value, which are
usually sold by the pound for about nine
rupees. Should no valuable stones be found,
another pit is sunk, and SO till one or per-
haps two or three really valuable gems are un-
earthed, when the work is stopped and the
whole party goes of to Ratnapura with
the prizes. II these are worth, say, a few
thousand rupees, they are kept secret and only
shown to one or two men Of money, who make
the owners an advance and look after the safe
custody Of the precious stones. Then they
gamble and drink for some time till another
advance becomes necessary, and 90 on till half
the value Is obtained. Then the party, with
the mortgage, proceeds TO Colombo or Italut-
ara, where rich Moor traders are summoned to
purchase, and the gems soon find their way to
London. The general public know nothing
about these transactionss~ and valuable gems
are never heard Of in Ceylon, and scarcely see
the light Of day till they reach Bond street.
The natives hare great fear of exposing their
finds till they are sold, and they have most
extraor binary superstitious ideas about show-
