state Geologist Blatchley was called
on today, by X. l.. Royse, who repre-

and stones found by the prospectors-
The gold is pure. although there is not

value. Among the stones inspected by
the geologist and his two assistants,
Il. G. Hopkins and j. G. Hartzell. many
garnets We're found and other stones

diamonds. They We're pronounced good
stones, he said. The stones were sold
to have been found near Martnsville
and the gold in Bear Creek, Brown
county.
Mr. RoySe is the man who. several
months ago, discovered diamonds In

turned to Morgan and Brown counties
and has since been prospecting. The
gold, which was pure ore. was washed
out Of IA kind Of fine black sand. and
the stones were found by washing
banks of sand and gravel. The gar
Eets among them We're pronounced pure
