formed from the fact that in twenty

of those precious stones have been un-

600; that the yearly output isnow about
$15,000,000. and that as old fields be-
come less Valuable new ones are being
discovered, which promise to maintain
the product. The profits of three dfa-
mond companies run from $7,500,000 TO
SS,500,000 each, with annual dividends

Still hunting Is the popular method

Within a nights ride of Chicago deer
ana bear may be found in coed num-
bers. Yet little further iuto the will
derness such an abundance of deer
has not been seen for many years. In
the wilds of Wisconsin and throughout
Northern Michigan deer are SO plen,i-
full that the ''still' hunters have had
no trouble in walking up game in
any likely piece of woods.
Wisconsin always has been Il good
deer country. Food is abundant, the
wods are large and there Is just such 4
variety of country as the deer loves for
a habitation. He can wander over hills,
through thick sWamps or open woods,
and all around Is Silence save what
noise is made by the chirping birds aud
wild creatures like himself. He loves
to feed a little on the lowlands anu
then browse on the high ground. 1t
takes him a long time to make meal,
and no matter how much of good food
there may be in any particular place he
will not remain there to thoroughly sat
isfy his appetite. He mustroam about
and eat over n great deal of territory.
When he has browsed and fed till he Is
content he loves to pose behind a clump
of bushes and watch and listen. At
such times he stands with head up as
stanch as setter on point, and If one
watches him closely not a movement
Of his muscles will be detected. He
sweeps the country before him with
his keen eyes, and his sharp ears will
be disturbed by the breaking of a twig

A reporter met Gibbons on Bay
street yesterday and had quite a little
chat with him. He does not begin to
look as old as he claims to be, but
he gives clrcumstantial details which
go TO prove him very old man. A
peculiar feature Of his story Is that
he says that up to a month ago, when
he returned here, he had not been In
Savannah for. seventy years. The old
man Is not in his dotage by any means,
and uses pretty good English.
Il was born ON Fairlawn planta-
tion, over that way (west of the city,"

down carpets In the streets for film
to walk on. They had big gather.

lot of soldiers. They don't treat Presi,

The old man was evidently under
the impression that Lafayette was a
President.
Il was sold away from here seventy
years ago." he said, ''and brought 5000.

the falling stars. That was seventy
years ago"
The old man was positive In all his
statements, and could not admit that
he might be mistaken in any of his
facts.
II left a daughter In Florida when I
went to Alabama" he said. "She was
just big enough to tie in napkin. 1
went back there the other day and
found her, and her hair was whittier
than mine"
This statement, II true, would appear
to be pretty good evidence of very old
age. If the old man was, as he says,
II years old when the revolution be-
gan, he would be 139 years old to-day,
so that his statement that he Is l4O
would not be much out of the way.
His statement that the railing stars"
occurred seventy years ago Is not far
wrong. The great meteoric shower
occurred In 1898; that, IS, sixty-four
years ago He gives a circumstantlai
account Of this event, which Is not re-
markable, however, as, according to
his own account, he must have been

had nothing with him TO eat. When
night again came he crawled out of his
shock of corn and walked until day
light, when he found that he had re-
traced his steps in the darkness and was
on the Bellefontaine railroad only few
miles from the city. Disguised and
reckless from hunger he sought refuge
in the hayloft of a barn, Indifferent as
to whether he would be discovered or
not, though men came there to feed
the horses and almost stepped on him.
Finally hunger compelled him to go to
n farmhouse, and, fortunately for him,
he went to Mr.. divers, who gave him
his breakfast and afterward hired him
to work as farmland. Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver were strong union people and he
told them plausible story of how he
had come up from Posey county to en-
list, but was unable to do so on account
of stop being put to enlisting. The
captain said that If Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
are living he imagined they would re-
member him on account of his able
bodied appetite and his fine flow of Ian
guage in abusing the confederates.
"a few days later he concluded to go
further north, and walked to a station
on the Bellefontaine railroad which
was about eight miles from the city
probably Lanesville. There he had a
narrow escape from being recognized
by an officer who had been on duty at
the hospital, when, just in time, train
came along and he jumped aboard, not
knowing whether it would take him to
Indianapolis or in the opposite direc-
ton. A number of union soldiers were
on the cars, and he told them his Posey
county story with such additions as
seemed necessary to the requirements
Of fine imagination, weighted down by
the depressing fact that he had no idea
where it was he was going. Like all
good stories, however, this one ended
happily, and the conductor, like fairy
good mother, transported him to Ohio,
where, if he did not live and die in peace,
he at least found friends. And, l grieve
to relate, did finally get down to Ken
lucky and joined John Morgan's cav
airy. This ended his story, except that
told him it would have had different

swamp when he escaped from the hos
