The Great Kimberley Mines.
ISpecial Correspondencc.l


KIMBERLEY, South Africa, March 1.-The
worlds supply Of diamonds is increasing
at great rate, but then SO is the world .
wealth in other directions, as is the mum
Der of people vino wear precious stones.
The three great sources of diamond sup
ply are Brazil India and South Africa.
1t is less than 80 years since the first dia-
monds were found near here. In 1876 the
output for the great Kimberley mines,
which are owned by a company Of Jews
and worked by gangs of kaflirs, was l, $780,
600 carats.
Some diamonds are lost, but unlike gold
and silver the product is never consumed,
never wears out All the European mon
archs have large quantities of diamonds
among the crown jewels, and the nobility
and other rich people have collections
nearly as large. America, since the vast
accumulation of wealth in q few private
hands, has become a great purchaser of dia-
monds, and / am informed by merchants
here that some of their largest purchasers
are Americans.
But there are diamonds so large as to be
beyond even the purses Of millionaire
Americans. A very curious diamond has
recently been found at the De Baseo Con-
solidated mines near here. This diamond
was split in some way in the works. Before
that it was FL inches long by three-fourths
of an inch thick. One part weighs 90 car
ats and the other %, and the smaller piece,
uncut, is valued at SIS, 0O0.
The diamonds look Ia the natural state
like bright pieces Of quartz and are found
imbedded with less valuable stones In a
matri1 Of stiff, blue clay. from which they
are washed Despite the fact that the KAT
frs, except for cloth about the waist,
work naked, they are carefully searched
before leaving the mines. Sometimes they
swallow good sized stones, but to purchase
a diamond from native is criminal Of
fense, and the seller is punished with six
tenth century torture
Great fortunes have been nnsde In these
mines, but as they are owned and run BY

DENVER, April 10.-There is no need to
ge abroad for scenery, ruins or antiquities
while Colorado beckons the tourist to her
canyons, gorges, cloud cleaving peaks, her
prehistoric and mysterious cliff ruins.
Think how old the new world must be,
after all, when there are buildings the
purpose of which no historian can discover,
and whose architecture Is quarreled over
by famous savants.
There are a few small cliff dwellings to
be seen from the Rio Grande Southern
road, but SO closely do they resemble the
leaps OF piled up rocks that it is only the
accustomed eye which can readily distin-
guish them. The most celebrated of the
cliff dwellings are found in the vast Man
cos canyon and its tributaries, west of Du-
range. The visitor can reach them by
horseback from Mancos station. It is also
possible to drive TO them. There are men
who make 1t their business to conduct
parties to view these ruins. 1t is a pretty
rough jaunt for woman and necessitates
some climbing, but those western mon
know how to smooth all difficulties for
''the ladies.
Perched nearly loco feet above the val
ley, clinging like nest to the limb Of .
lofty tree, stands one of the most famous
OF the Cliff dwellings, a two story palace
SO called, Of finely cut sandstone. The
blocks are about 10 by s inches and are
correctly adjusted in mortar which Is -
hard as the stone. The ledge of the cliff
forms the floor of this dwelling, and the
roof is made by the vast overhanging
mountain. On the ground floor are three
rooms. These rooms have partition walls
Of faced stone. There arc traces of floor
which centuries ago separated the two sto-
ries. Each of the stories is about 8 feet
high and the rooms on both floors are plas-
tered and painted a dull terra Gotta with
white band. The windows are square
openings, and the view of the great Nancos
valley from here is sublime.
The cliff palaces of the Mesa Verde, that
vast plain which stretches north of the
Mancos canyon, are on a most extensive

purposes for which it is intended, as Cham

but some member of the family has need Of
it. A tootbache or headache may be cured by
it. A toach of rheumatism or neuralgia
quieted. The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the soIe bealed in
much less time that when medicine has to be
sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before inflammation sets in which insnres
cure in about one-third of the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive Immediate treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore
throat may be cured before it becomes serious.
A troublesome corn may be removed by ap-
plying it twice day for week or two. A
lame back may be cured and several days Of
valuable time saved or a pain in the side or
chest relieved without paying doctor bill.
