THE LARGEST DIAMOND.
A Gem Onered for Sale In London for
4B,OOO,OOO.

0b,OOO.OOO.
The largest diamond that was ever
found is now offered for sale in Lon
don for $5.OO0,OOO. 1t is known as the
Jager-Fontein diamond, and is bigger
than the Regent. the Imperial, the
kohinoor and the Orion put together,
weighing 9Il karats and being as big
as an ordinary potato. 1t has Il heauti-
full blush white color. is shaped like IN
icicle. three inches long. two and one
half inches thick at the thickest place
and tapers down to Il point. 1t was
found last year ut the mine of JAEGER
Fontein, in the Orange Free State, by
Il negro truck driver the morning be-
fore the mine was delivered to Il syndi-
cate to which 1t had been sold. The
truckisan noticed it in the earth while
he was waiting for load. placed his
foot upon it until he was able to pick
1t up without observation. and then. as
soon as he could leave work. carried it
to the house of the manager of the
mine and placed in 1t his hands. The
latter at once saw that IL was a stone
of great value and cautioned the truck
man to preserve silence. as the mine
had been sold, and it might he claimed
by the purchasers. who We're not. how
ever. in possession of the property. AS
a reward for his honesty and discre-
lion. the truckman was presented with
the finest horse and saddle that could
be procured and $1.O0n In cash. But it
is said that his good fortune proved his
ruin. as he spent the money in dissipa-
tion and has not done n days labor
since. The diamond was taken to Lon
don by the manager and delivered to
his principals. by whom he was suit
ably rewarded. II is too large for an
ornament and too valuable for any or
linary citizen to purchase. 1t is held
by the syndicate with the expectation
that some Indian prince will buy it for
his crown. Until the .IagerFOntein was
found the most valuable gem in exist
ence was the Imperial, which Is known

bed of the river. which had proba-

it had been inhabited. The prehlstor-
ic population must have once num-
bered about 5OO-a large population
for such cities. They doubtless de-
serted their houses in very ancient
times.
Leaving here in the middle of Au-
gust, we visited several modern Moqui
villages in the north to study certain
obscure points in the ethnology of
their people. Thence we went to a
valley south of the White mountains
of Arizona. between Mt. Graham and
the Bonita mountains, on the Upper
Gila river. This section was briefly
described by Major Emory. was passed
through it in 1886. while in command
of the army of the West Centuries
ago this valley was densely populated.
An ancient people not only inhabited
it's level portions. but cultivated the
neighboring mountain Sides Remains
of their gardens marked by rows of
stones can be traced for miles. We
also observed remains of irrigatine
bitches, through which the water of
the Gila had been carried long dis
tances across the plains, and of large
reservoirs in which water had been
stored These indicate that the prob
lem of irrigating the arid plains of the
southwest was well solved centuries
ago. The prehistoric population of
the valley was more or less distributed
on farms, but concentrated. within an
extent of twenty miles, into not less
than a dozen villages. which. il popu-
lated simultaneously, must have con-
tanned about $4,000. Their settlements
were deserted long before the advent
of the Spanish. The Apaches were
probably the cause of their flight.

quadrupeds, probably bears. A few
miles to the north we discovered also
cluster of houses. One of the Ladders
with which the ancient Inhabitants
had gained their entrance was still
standing. Portions of the ceiling and
floor were intact. This was found to
be an ancient Zunii ruin. 1t is called
kinna-Zinde, or Tall House. We found
no signs of European contact In any
of these ruins. The prehistoric in
habitants were probably driven out by
the hostile Apaches or Navajoes.
Leaving Kinna-Zinde July 8, DR..
Fewkes and DIR. Hough proceeded
south for thirty-five miles In search OF
evidence which might shed light on
legend of the Moquis to the effect that
some of their progenitors once lived
far below. Near the Mormon town OF
Snowflake. Arizona, they came upon
another ruined city which hitherto had
never been mentioned by either scien-
tific or popular writer's, and which ap-
even to travellers. Speaking OF this,
Prof. Fewkes said:
I'VE made extensive excavations
here and unearthed large collection
of objects of pottery. stone ami smell.
Some of the pottery is the most beau-
tiful ever brought from the southwest.
Among other things we found a curious
copper bell-which shows that the an
cient inhabitants were familiar with
aalo To from
shells of the Pacific. 500 miles away,
well preserved gourd rattles, on which
the colors were still brilliant, and
needles and avis made Of deer bone.
One of the most beautiful specimens OF
pottery was a globular bowl OF red
color, highly decorated and having
graceful spout and handle. 1t was
probably used as a water vessel. We
found the remains of the children
buried In the fireplaces. according to
the ancient Moqui belief that the i'm
mature must be so disposed of in or
der to make the journey to the under
world. The adults, however. were
found just outside the walls of the
town. One OF the rooms excavated
had a smooth, fiat floor of stone slabs.
evenly laid in sand. In this were
drilled number of round holes SINH

sacred rooms, where they were sym
bolic of the entrance of the soul to
the realms below. At the end OF this
room was a bench of slabs. probably

The logs were formed of upright logs
cemented with mud, recalling the kiva

who visited these regions three CEN
turtles ago. Several rounded stones,
the size and shape of mans head,
closely resembled one found in Moqui

ence began to delve into the barren
wastes of the far southwest for ashes
and crumbled ruins of lost races and
forgotten civilizations. Early in the
summer DR. j. Walter Fewkes, explor-
er for the bureau OF ethnology, with
DR.. Walter Hough, of the chronological
department of the National Museum,
left Washington for portions OF Ari-
zona and New Mexico suspected OF
containing long hidden chronological
treasures, left centuries ago by prehls-
toric civilization located in these re-
gions through certain obscure myths
and traditions confided to the explor-
ers by modern tribes of the Pueblo
people. That the researches of these
two men of science were altogether
successful is attested by hundreds of
relics and dozens of Photographic views
already stored in the National Muse
um, where they will shortly be in
stalled for exhibition.
Straightway after their arrival Drs.
Fewkes and Hough were interviewed
by the writer, the first to hear the full
details of their discoveries. Leaving
here in June the two discoverers pro-
ceeded directly to the eastern boun-
Diary of Arizona, not far from Fort De-
fiance. According to the traditions in
which they had gotten scent of the
buried treasures to be excavated. there
once lived in these parts ancient peo-
pie said to be relatives of the ancient
Zunii, which tribe, long before the dis
covery by Columbus. occupied the ia

center. The groud is sloping up
on either side of the stream to the
edges of the walls. gave to the huge
structure the internal appearance OF a
double amphitheater. The windows
and doorways of the houses had
opened toward the inside court, their
black walls forming the walls of the
city, being probably intact. At either
side had been left gateway. and at
either end an archway or bridge
through which flowed the water of the
stream. An Indian trader who had
squatted here several years before was
the sole occupant of the site Of this
strange city, when the explorers found
1t. This squatter had torn down all
save a small corner Of the circular
walls, of whose stones he had built for
himself substantial habitation. Pre-
vious to his arrival the ruin had been
well preserved, standing to consider
able height The small cells or houses
built in the walls had been repeated
upward about four tiers of stories. The
ancient spring which once had bubbled
in the midst of the central courtyard
was cleared by the ingenious squatter
after it had been sealed by the dust of
centuries.
Describing this wonderful ruin to
the writer, Prof. Fewkes said 1T is
known as Kin-Tiel. or Broad House,
by the modern tribes in these regions.
Centuries ago its population was prob
ably as large as that of the Rome of
Severus, or of ancient Troy. We made
extensive excavations and found In its
ruins choice collection of relies. We
dug into the city's cemetery, just out
side of the walls, on the east, where
we found relics of such character as
to leave no doubt in our minds but
that the inhabitants were related TO
the ancient Zunii. The pottery was
decorated with symbols similar to
those found in ancient Zuni ruins but
different from those of the Mouui. We
found many skeletons in a fair s,atc
of preservation. These have beep
