MINING FOR HIDDEHITE
GFn ACCIDENTALLY DIsCOvERED

THE DIAMOND,
The Great DIVIDE.

The Great DIVIDE,
Some v-srs ago Edison, the slec.
.r'c WIZ rd, was convinced that
plcntinum existed in North Carolins.
he sent William Earle Hidden. an
accomplished mlnevalogist, In search
Of it, Mr.. Hlduen little knew 1T the
time how foil Of results to him that
porsuit Of platinum would be. H.
~ not find the desired mineral
he found something far better.
AT Alexander cc.nty. quiet par.
Of TIE state, many miles from rsil
way, be was directed by Mr.. j. A.
d. Stephen-on to- a gem besring
ground, and looking little more
narrowly, found some OF the gems.
He purchased some land, returned
to e iison. reported his vain quest OF
platinum, then went back to North
Carolina.
He at once tegan to develop the
mine. Sinking a shaft in 8 simple
wav, he gradually made the opaninv
larger and larger until eupericially
the mlne presented the aepect Of u
stone quarry. Oat Of this PIT In the
esrth were taken uUnnmberei gems,
one hithertO unknown. To this Mr..
j Lawrence Smith, Of ST. Louis. an
eminent scientist. gave Hidden's
name, nnd "Hiddepite," the eqn,va~
lent of the diamond IN value, became
instantly the fashion. Its tender
tinled green crvstsls, its intense
hardness, ard its new beauties when
cot, were only some of its charms.
From tue day Of it's discovery to the
present it has been a hopeless task
to supply the demand for 1t. Every
Hiddenite founo is purchased long
in advance.
But strange IS is this flashing
green miracle Of the earth, rhe place
Of it's birth is yet stranger. The lf.
horers who are working in the mines
hann le their picks With the create st
care. They ere Cd the watch for
''pockets" Possibly for an hour toe
digging goes on, and 20 pocket is
struck Presently the pick goes into
An opening, with careful fingers the

ins. 1t may happen that his search
is n vain, hnt it is oftener the case
tset his frgeIs touch little crystals
that are 60 embedded IN the sines OF
the pocket tnst their points alone
irja>o outward. They aro c>rsfuIly

perhaps there are Il dozen kinds Of
gems, or it may be that there are
