CONFIDENCE SHATTERED.
A Curio Dealer In Aos.AugeIeS De-
tails His Experience with East

"rhere is a big joke on some of the
teachers who went on the Los Angeles
excursion in early July" said a Brook
lyn teacher the other day. 'and al
though IL is at the expense Of my pro-
fession l shall have TO tell it.
'On the beech there is a charming old
man who keeps a curio shop. He has
been an expert mineralogist for 30

geology as well as mineralogy. When
he heard that. a lot of New York and

leisure moments in carefully brushing.
arranging aud classifying his choicest
specimens, many Of which he consid-
cred too sacred for the casual gaze of

from Port Royal, S c., to Fargo. The
line is called the Black Diamond system

which is considered by some as visionary

NOTED by Col Albert E. Boone, who is
said to be a direct descendant of Daniel
Boone. of rod and gun fame. His head
quarters are at GAINESVILLE, .. He says
the "cause was launched April g. 1895, at
Knoxville, Tenn when he was selected
as its chief promoter. The paramount OBJ
iects are to tap the coal fields in Eastern
Tennessee and Kentucky and to trans
port yam from the great IOdAOlel llSAoS
to the shipside at Port Royal. The line,
as projected, is to pass northward
through the South to Carlyle, KY, where
one branch is to run to Columbus, an
other to indianapolis and another from
Vevay to Vincennes Ind, thence through
Indiana to Aledo, ILL.,; Clear Lake, To-;
Moorhead, Mimi, to Fargo.
Il is said that the line will be built
through the water gaps Of the Cumber-
land. Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains,
with a maximum grade Of sixty feet to
the mile and no reverse curves. Col
Boone relies on the vast deposits of min
eral of almost all kinds in the country
through which the Black Diamond way
has been surveyed to make the road still
more desirable and profitable. In this
territory coal. slate, marble, iron ore,
cotton, bone phosphates, hard woods,
zinc, tan bark, kaolin (used in the manu-
facture of chinaware), copper, glass rock
and innumerable water powers of great
volume and value are found.
