HAVE We DIAMOND M,NEs7
A Scientist Thinks That They May BE
Found in Arizona.

Prof. G. Z. Footc, in 4 paper read be.
fore Il meeting of scientific societies in
Washington, spoke Of a geological for
nation that gave rise to some very in
~terestins suggestions. His thesis was
based upon the claim that in IL collcc-
ton of very remarkable specimens of
metcoric iron found on the side of Crater
mountain. Arizona, he had discovered
diamonds.
Crater mountain rises abruptly 1872
feet above the surrounding plain. The
walls of the so-callcd crater, which are
very steep. are formed of sandstone and
limestone, and are lifted at IN angle of
forty degrees. l;ut as no lava or other
volcanic products are found, the hollow
cannot be considered q true crater. AS
this depression is of similar character
to that from which the diamonds at
Kimberly, South America, are dug,
why should not diamonds abound in
Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico,
which arc tie richest regions for me-
taoric iron III the world? asks the Jew
clers' Circular.
Prof. Foote'S theories arc among the
soundcst advanced in the sea OF specu.
lation on the production of diamonds 81
the past decade. But as the conclusions
of science are often too premature and
too positive, the letter of the learned
gcntlenan's proposition must not be
accepted without the proof derived from
thorough investigation.
