A Grent Store OF wealth Hidden in the
sands of the United States.

TIE next great mining industry in this
country will be for precious stones, IN
stead of gold, silver or iron ore, II the
demonstrations of several large diamond
merchants and meteorological professors
are fulfilled. The recent census bulletin
giving the statistics of the precious stones
found i'm this country, says the Philadel-
phia Press opened the eyes OF number
of millionaire dealers in valuable gems
and after consulting with learned profts-
sors in our leading colleges, they satisfied
themselves that there were unknown pos
sibilities i'm the mines of the Western.
Southern and even Eastern States. Ex-
merits were Immediately engaged 10 exam
inc the rich me tallic fields of the Appa-
Iachian Mountains. the most favorable
portions of the Rocky Mountains ana the
diamond districts of California. The pre-
lminary reports of these agents give a
most comprehensive review or neglected
industry in this country, and JUSTIFY the
formation of numerous branch companies
10 mine for all the precious stones that
have ever been found In the United states,
including diamonds, sapphireS tubies
garnets, beryls and over a hundred other
gems OF different values.
So many wildcat stories have been re-
ported and published about finding pre-
cious stones in different parts OF the cohn-
try that IL has been a difficult matter 10
sift the genuine accounts from the fcti-
tious. II was for the purpose OF finding
out the real status OF the industry ana
it's possibilities that trustworthy agents
were sent exploring every part OF the
country, and their reports can be relied
upon as rot containing airy exasgeration
OF the truth. Diamond merchants OF the
great American cities are rot castle
builders" and they generally strike rock
bottom before they invest their millions
IN any business; but ever since the report
was published that the diamond fields OF
South Africa were giving out, the leading
dealers In precious stones have been on
the lookout for new mines that would
supply the world with valuable gems.
Some looked to South America as the fu-
ture sources OF these stones. and even 10
dsy the rocky ranges OF the Andes are
being examined and sounded by experts
But a consensus Of opinion indicates that
great faith Is placed in the unexplored
regions Of this country. Parts OF the
South. In particular. have revealed I'M
exJcctcd treasures of valuable gems.
one OF the leading dealers In precious
stones. who is interested in the present
movement TO develop the industry Of min
ing for American gems. gives the follow
ing facts:
Americans. as a rule. are very fond Of
precious stones. and l should say that
there are more In this country according
10 the population than anywhere in the
world. The importation OF diamonds,
rubies, sapphires and other gems has con-
seQuently been a very lucrative business
for many years. The value OF the stones

Below Decks on a Trial Trip.

The engines roar, the pumps move back

and the engineers force PUSHES about in
what seems at first hopeless confusion,
but which soon takes on look or sys-

and careful attention, as enough might
happen in a moment to ruin all. The
slightest carelessness or inattention might
have the most serious results.
Occasionally, though, no amount OF care
can prevent a bearing or a crosshead
from heating, particularly If the ma
chinery is new. has not sufficiently worn
itself to perform it's duties and is being
run at high rate OF speed.
To provide for this contingency there Is
always arranged a convenient system OF
pipes. from which cold water can be
directed at a moments notice upon which,
ever part of the machinery shows signs
of heating. In addition 10 this, there are
many couplings where hose can be con-
nected for use In reaching the more In
accessible and rapidly-movng parts. AT
such time excitement runs high in the en-
zine rooms. The engines are probably
working at almost full power and moving
rapidly, so II the heating part cannot be
cooled sufficiently they will have to be
shut down and the run be lost.

Wichita, Kan., Said to BE Built on q
Subterranean Lake.

Wichita, kan., Said tn he Butlt on
Subterranean Lake.
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 5.-The singu-
lar discovery has been made that the
city - Wichita is built above a subter-
ranean lake. A prospect well is being
drilled at the expense Of the city for the
purpose Of ascertaining the nature Of the
geological formation beneath the town,
and to tird out whether coal, oil or gas
is within reach. To the surprise OF all,
except few old citizens who have
for years entertained the pet theory
that Wichita was built upon what
they were pleased to term floating
island, it was found that underneath
the city is a sheet Of water 80 feet in
depth. The striking of this great body
Of water at the point selected by the
committee for making the investigation
is no accident This is the third well
sunk in Sedgwick county that has re-
vealed this condition. The drill, after
reaching the bottom Of the lake. struck
stratum of blue clay Of such firm con-
sistepcy as to render it impossible for
water to flow through it. The flow Of
water, when the lake was struck,
was SO strong that it was impossible
for the pumps to have the least
effect. Water tight tubing has been
put down through the lake and buried
firmly in the clay. This completely
shuts cut the great flow of water, and
the contractor will make rapid progress
from this time On. The we'll will &C
down to depth Of $500 feet if nothing
of valuable nature is found this side
Of that distance. Biologists connected
with several Eastern colleges are watch
ing the progress Of the investigation
