DIGGING FOR DIAMONDS,

Hard and Precarlous Life That Has .
Wonderful Fa"ciDation About 1t.
have Just had few days among the
river diamond diggcrs near Hebron, on
the Na2!, writes u traveller i'll the Jew
c!cr5' Circular The work here is car
rled on by individual tiiggcrs. each man
leasing his claim and working it him
Self with the aid of 4 few native labor
cr3. They are 4 motley crowd, these
digGcr3, and representative of almost
every nationality. 1t is hard and pre-
car:ous existence. Diamonds arc few
and far between, but when found, ncv-
crthele3s. they are generally of first
class quality and realize high prices.
The diggcrs are mostly men of very
snail raoans. Their tools and washi11cr
gear arc about all they have, and
they consequently live very poor
ly. Meal of rough quality l.;
often the only food that passes
their lips from one months end to
another. This they usually get on
credit from some storclSecpcr, who fur
niGhcs them with the bare ncccssarics
of life on the off-chancc of their finds.
Most of the diggcrs, Of course, have l.

arc strange instances Of ill-lucll follow

man who had been at this sort of work

A cOMING GUEST.


Next week there will arrive In Salt
Lake IA eminent citizen q The Ger.
man empire. His object in coming to
this city h not merely one Of pleasure
in visiting a world.famed locality;
the geulleman's presence In the United
States Ia connected with business for
his government. lie Is J. b. Klinkc,
commissioner OF railroads OF Prussia,
and he has been specially delegated to
visit the United States and report ~
the German government on the con.
dition and variou, improvements In
railway operation and service In this
country.
Commlssloner Kllnke has Travelled,
during the past three month";, In vati.
Gus parts Of the United States, and has
been engaged In Inspecting various
railway tystems and shops. One re-
suit OF his observation ia shown In an
expressed intention TO recommend
many innovations and improvements
for tho German railways. while In
Germany railway tracks, deFU,s, etc.,
are more substantially built than on
the majority Of lines In this country,
and might be classed Ms superior be.
cause OF that, yet the railways
here have some features very far In
advance OF those possessed by that
branch Of the service In the kaiser's
dominious. In the workshops here
the latest inventions for turning out
the best work present some odd and
striking contrasts to the Old.lashionod
German methods; while there hardly
can be n comparison made between the
passenger equipments In the two
countries. Some special cars are
deliberately fitted up ON German rail.
ways, IL Ia true; but such thing as a
Pullman ora Wagner car or anything
approaching It In the regular public
passenger service Ia great rarity, and
the convenience and comfort Of regular
passenger coaches In America finds no
parallel In that branch on the German
roads.
MIR. Kllnke will stop over at Ogden
and Salt Lake, aud will then proceed
10 examine the operation OF railways
in the mountains between this val.
ley and Denver. He is specially
interested in the operation OF roads In
n mountainous country In tho winter,
~ In some parts OF Germany great dif.
hcultios are met with In that respect.
In making HIS inquiries In this section
the railway officials will OF course
afford him every facility and courtesy,
for n there are mountain railways
anywhere that have developed "a ays.

There IL one objection which may
be urged on The face Of the showing
made In the suggested change. To
depriving San Juan county Of n "trip
Of country twenty-five or more miles

there would he taken from San Juan
a considerable portion Of its reveuu',
derived from taxes ON the extensive
ranches and herds OF stock 10 that
fuclIon. Grand olunty is fairly we'll
provided for already In the matter u
taxable property, In proportion to It's
population, and has the advantage Of a
considerable section OF the Rio Grnude

icncoof the people residing on the tract
In question requires this transfer, the
particular county that gets the revenue
is a matter Of secondary Importance.
Asa rule, II Is inadvisable 20 ire-
quently change the boundaries Of
counties. In tho present instance,
however those who are moving for
action by the Legislature make a good
showing Ia behalf Of their proposition.
The arguments in IT, favor Will be
placed before the Legislators at tue
earliest possible date, for their consid-
GRAFTON. Whether OF lOt San Juan

DON'T BE RASH.

Promptness in Selling opportunities
ia as necessary TO the success OF com
munity Rs 10 that Of an individual. u
IL always an indication OF energy and
courage, and these two qualities are as
potent In the accomplishment Of every
purpose as any that mankind ia gifted
with. Yet there is no real safety In
energy which Is not associated with
judgment, nor In courage uniemperei
with sagacity, II frequently happens,
therefore, that promptness is nothing
more than reoklessness, and that
eober sense Is rendered silly by en-.
thuslasm.
Every community thAt has no rail-.
road IL probably anxious TO get one.
Almost every community that has
already one railroad - no matter
whether one horse can do their work
quite Rs well as two and at half the
expense for fecd--is keen to got the
second one. There are certain kinds
OF property-money aud railroads
among them-of which the more
people got, the more they
want. Nor IL this desire,
even when ii reaches the vltu-
lent stage Of Rvarice, altogether to bo
condemned. To strain, and sweat,
and grasp In the accumulation OF
means. Is not wholly bad, though there
may DO grinding and miserly methods
employed. Means thus acquired will
usually benefit some ore In the end;
aud the example furnishes both good
lesson In Industry and economy, and n
grim warning against cupidity and
inhumaniiy.
SO, we applaud the efforts OF any
community to acquire the untold ben.
,siils that come OF railroad connection
with the rest Of the world. We also
applaud tho reasonable ondeavors Of
any community, already thus favored,
TO secure by new railroad connections
mn escape from the monopoly they may
be suffering under. But all things In
calmness, and with due regard TO the
sound principles Of blhlness sensei 1t
has seemed to the NEWS that some OF
our southern friends just now need,
what some of our northern friends
needed short time ago; u warning
against being insanely carried away
by prospective benefits that may never
mAteriAlize, and against being recls.
lessly generous OF substantial pledges
when they get nothing but glitteripg
promises in return. Anybody can
build a railroad on paper. That ia the
preliminary step, also, OF all real rail-
roads. But there IL no need to deed
away lands heedlessly for right Of
way, 10 give city blocks here and there
for depot grounds, and to tie up other
and valuable kinds OF property ana
pledges in pawn upon a mere promise
