{ DIAMOND HUNTING.
Prospect Of Mines to Be Discovered In

IfospecC Oh Mines to Be Discovered In.
California.
Melville Atwood, the aged mineral.
oglst one Of the discoveries of the
great Comstock ledge believes the
chances are excellent for finding in
California one or more of the volcanic.
pipes containing diamonds, as at Kim
berly, Du Ioitspan and Belfoutem.
Talking about this in his curious
laboratory at the corner of Mont.
gomery and California streets sur-
! rounded by rich and varied specimens
OF ore and precious stones, he mar
rated that he did not think there was
doubt about it
He toiled in the diamond fields Of
Brazil and throughout other places Of
the world years ago. when young
man. according to the San Francisco
Examiner, and has studied the forma-
tions closely. The article recently
published concerning the discovery of
diamonds in Ell Dorado county and
the knowledge Of diamonds at Chero-
kee Flat and elsewhere in California
has strengthened him in this. He is
the man who backed the party who
unearthed the mines at Virginia, made
the assays and predicted with unerring
sagacity their future greatness.
The gold and diamond mines of
California. like those of Brazil he
says, may be designated by the sur
face wastings and the ravine diggings.
which have derived their gold
principally from the degradation or
breaking up by atmospheric Or
aquerous agencies of the auriferous
veins.
Another class consists of the recent
river BEDS from which the water has
been diverted. In this class most of
the diamonds of Brazil have been
found. Yet another class here and
in transmarine diamond fields, are
the ancient river beds.
At this time he considers it i'm
portant that Californians who may be
considering going diamond hunting
should know what kind of an outfit.
they should have It should consist.
he says of light pick, a. shovel and
two riddles. one having three fourths
OF an inch aperatures and eighteen
inches wide. and the other having
eight holes to the linear inch.
Next there should be tub in which
to wash the gravel A rubber bath
tub will answer. Then there should
be rubber cloth on which to sort the
gravel. Then the prospector should
also have watchmaker's lens of two
powers fitted to a spectacle frame
For cutting or testing each fragment
supposed to be diamond he recon-
mends piece OF diamond or sapphire
fitted into lead pencil end from
which the rubber has been taken.
Ordinary lapidary cement will hold it.
there as firmly as if it were soldered.
Anything that it will not scratch no.
matter what its color, is a diamond
With the selves the particles can be
lostled about water being poured on
them meanwhile, and the whole ade-
quately tested.
Look out for important diamond
discoveries in California;" said the
veteran diamond hunter. They are
almost certain to be made Every
thing indicates that we shall find
some of the big diamond pipes as at.

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA,
Few Rea ize the Vast Improvement Made
81 Late Years.

81 Late Years.
Much is written on the question of
lives lost at sea, and though we do
not wish to check the zeal of men
who have done noble service in safe
guarding our sailors from the practices
resorted to in the past by rapacious
ship owners, we think the great i'm
provement of recent years is too often
ignored. and the tendency to over
legislate very great says Engineer
ing.
In ten years the number of lives
lost has decreased by nearly one-half
and when it is noted that the British
fleet has in that period increased from
s, 500 900 to 8. $50, 900 tons this
result is even more favorable. Our
sailing ships are being improved in
design. so as the better to withstand
great storms and the adoption of
steel minimizes the danger of strand
ing. The small old wooden vessels
are disappearing at the rate
of about 1000 a year. These
facts indicate a cause why the
proportion of lives lost to the total
tonnage entering and clearing our
ports has decreased from ALI per
100. 900 tons in 1881 to 2.06 in 1890.
This represents decrease according
to tonnage of one.half. In the case
of steamers the increase in traffic is
equal to 49, per cent and yet there
is decrease in the> number of lives
lost of % per cent In other words.
the dives lost were equal to 0. 81 per
100. 900 tons of steamers frequenting
our ports in 1881, and in 1890 0.41
per 100 900 tons. In 1882 the ratio
was LOS, and in 1886 0.16 per lO0.-
600 TONS These were the highest
and lowest in the decade, and indicate
the possibilities of great fluctuations
due to extraordinary disasters The
tendency, however is toward sub
stantial decrease. In ten years the
deaths among masters and seamen
from all causes decreased from %. 2
per /. 900 employed to 49, per !. 600

A NEW DELICACY.
Soldiers in the Next Great War VIII
Joy Frozen Meat.

Soldiers in the Next Great War VIII En-
joy Frozen Meat.
Among the delicacies which await SOL
diers who engage in the next war is
frozen meat. According to the sRevue
du Service de PIntendance Militaire,"
the French ministry of war has been
engaged for more than year in max
ing experiments in the preservation CT
meat. The experiments have resulted
in the discovery that frozen meat can
be kept for eight months without any
change in it's appearance or powers OF
nourishment. The meat can be carrie d
also on the railroads for four days with
out detriment, even in the hottest sum-
mer weather.
In all probability, however, the
frozen meat will not be used in the
field to any great extent, as the diff
culties of transporting it to widely Sc
parated armies would be almost insur-
mountable. But the French govern
ment intends to provide it's forts with
large quantities of it. Great freezing
chambers are to be placed as soon as
possible within the forts of Paris and
other important places of defense.
These chambers will be kept filled in
DAYS of peace 80 that in case of a sud-
den declaration of war the garrisons
will be provided with food.
In the French budget of 1854 an
appropriation of 100000 francs will
be asked for, according to the military
journal, for the purpose of carrying out
the plans of the ministry of war. Other
European countries will adopt the same
plans in all probability, SO that lack OF
garrison food will not cause such ter
rible sufferings in future wars as it has
done in those past.
