THE BLIND INSTITUTE.
Their Annual Concert at Milletts Opera
House Last Night.

House Last Night.
The closing exercises OF the Blind
institute last night at the opera house
crowded that place of amusement to
its doors. The program was varied
in its arrangements and most excellent
in its delivery. Embracing on its
list essays, musical selections, both
on the piano and vocally, and vale
dictory address by Robert Mooring.
An exhibition of the lawn tennis drill
and the calisthenics were both eXcep-
tionably good. An S-year-old
blind boy by the name of
EugeEe Gibbs, from San Marcos,
Texas was perfect wonder in that
he is perfect bundle Of musical
nerves. He is constantlyin nervous
musical state and while under these
Influences can name most any chord
that is played no matter how difficult.
Besides the presentation of this pecu.
liarity to the audience the program
embraced many excellent and inter-
esting personalities, the whole furn-
ishing to the audience present an
evening of much enjoyment.
The following is list of graduates
in the literary Department.:

has been sailed by inscriptions men who
hoped to victimize unsophisticated persons.
de Is certain that any genuine diamond
found IN the basin was fret placed there by
the reputed finder. Joyce's is the universal
opinion among all save the most excitable
treasure hunters, and much Indignation is
felt toward the would-be boomers aud
swindlers, who in their efforts to make a
few dollars have given Idaho terrible
black eye.
Diamond Basin is hollow, two miles
square in extent and enoiroled by rugged
basaltic hills. 1t is eighteen miles north Of
Silver City, the capital Of Owyhee county,
and is ten miles south OF the Snake river. It
is sixty-fve miles southeast OF Boise.
The formation of the basin is decomposed
granite and is not Of volcanic origin, as re-
ported by the alleged experts. The latter
did not prospect Ia the basin and TO explain
the absence Of prospect holes asserted that
they had found their diamonds in ant hills.
The experts were not in Diamond Basin
over an hour.
WORK OF swINDLRRs.
The surface of the basin is bestrewn with
shiny pebbles aud quartz gravel and several
ignorant men have eagerly gathered up
large quantities of the worthless stones,
Even II diamonds were to be found in the
basin water for washing them out could
not be obtained unless brought from Snake
river at a cost of at least 100000.
Nearly all the basin land has been located
and claims have been staked out more than
three miles from the basin. The land Is
located as placer ground, each claim being
fifteen acres in extent.
The men who are working the hoax are
doing their utmost to silence the newspaper
men. They unblushingly ask correspond
ents to send out false news in order to In
duce people to flock In. Some OF the men
who are most closely identified with the
swindle have not located claims. and it is
only the victims who have filed their loca-
lions with the county recorder. who re-
ceives fee of 80.
The men now in Diamond Basin are suf>
fering from the rigor of the weather. A
veritable blizzard swept over that region on
Saturday night, blowing tents away, STAN
peding horses and causing other damage.
Had the expose of the hoax been delayed
a week longer. people would have hooked to
Idaho from all portions OF the country. The
state officials and other persons have re-
ceived hundreds of letters and kilograms
from excited people In the eastern states,
who were anxious TO start at once for the
treasure fields, and the stereotyped reply,
"Wait a day or two" was all that deferred
many from coming.
The excitement may possibly last q week
longer. The sentiment is general that the
promoters of the swindle will have TO leave
the country.

DIAMOND BASIN A DELUsIoN.
Idaho's Field OF Precious Stones De-
clared q Hoax.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
BOISE, IDAHO. Dec. 30.-After deyoting
three days to careful investigation of the
Diamond Basin hoax. as IL must now be
called, your correspondents returned to-day
to Boise.
The insane rush to the bogus treasure
fields continues. no less than twenty-three
parties of diamond hunters having gone cut
during the past two days.
At the present time nearly 100 men are in
Diamond Basin. Four-ffths of them admit
that they have been deceived, but they in
tend to hold on and see IL gulhble persons
will not come in and purchase their claims.
Among these persons are George W heeler,
an ex-member Of the legislature, and his
brother Fred. They walked to the basin
and had a very hard time Of it. They hope
70 sell out before the bubble bursts.
On Wednesday last two men who also
started to walk TO the basin called at the
house of Matt Joyce, on Sinker creek, and
begged loaf Of bread. They have not
since been heard from and It is feared that
they have succumbed TO starvation or the
cold
Many poor men. carried away by the
hope Of sudden wealth, have left their work,
invested their scanty earnings in horses and
supplies and gone to Diamond Basin only
10 be disappointed. None Of them knows
anything about diamonds. In fact. not one
of the men now in the basin or on the way
thither has any knowledge OF precious
stones. They have been told that the dia-
monds were strewn over the ground, and
they are surprised when they learn that
they have been deceived.
There is no feed for horses 10 Diamond
Basin. Il must be hauled over the hills
from Walters ferry q distance Of twenty
Ave miles Water is wofully scarce, and
the only available fuel 10 sage brush.
SAILING SUSPECTED.
Nothing resembling diamonds has been
found Ia the basin since the so-called experts
left.

some eight miles from the Diamond Basin,
and who Vas a victim OF the diamond ex-
citsment Of 1856, says be knows the whole

sister, was leading happy life down
on the neat little bit of a farm, to the
rich lady in the grand house there
came a deep sorrow. Her little girl,
who was more to her than all her
friends put together, died. Bob White
watched the funeral go by, he strokcd
the turkey on the back and asked ii
he wasn't sorry Then he rubbed his
dirty little fists in his eyes and was
just as sorry himself as ever he could be.
After that funeral the old grand
mother and all the people who came to
visit her declared that the rich lady
couldn't have any Thanksgiving.
Nav" said the old grandmother,
shaking her head, "ther'll be no
Thanssgiyin' fer her"
Bob White thought he had been
as sorry as it was possible for boy to
be when the grand lady went past the
gate in her carriage, following the
pretty little girl to the cemetery, but
he was even sorrier when he heard
that she couldn't have Thanksgiving.
He sat q long time beside the turkey
thinking about the matter. Then he
stopped and kissed his friend on the
bill, and the tears gathered thick and
fast in his blue eyes. "But she must
hnye q Thanksgiving" he said.
1t was on the afternoon previous to
the festival that Mrs, Wclburt, looking
from her sitting-room window, beheld
strange couple coming across the
lawn. It was small boy and large
turkey led by string. The boy was a
very solemn individual by the time he
reached the house and looked about
him to see by which door he should
enter.
The lady opened the long window,
and, stepping out on the piazza asked
softly. "What will you have, little
boy?" rh, ,,,,sr;v.
,np.n said Bob White, way down in his
tbroat. for he was bashful little boy
in the presence of the grand tady.
oIIe's nice and fat, and he's good tuf'
KEY Then Bob held out the string
and turned away, for the turkey said:
"Gobble, gobble, gobble!" and ne was
afraid the lady would think he was
| going to cry, and he really didn't wan'
| TO give her the turkey. .
After that present, OF course MIS-
Velburt had Thanksgiving; but she
| had only two guests, Bob White ana
bis little sister. Before they sat down
TO the big fat turkey on the table, she
took them to the window and showed
them another big fat turkey roaming
about the lawn. ,,,.,soia
