Proposed Appalachfan Park

From the Asheyille N. CO Citizen
The statement that Secretary of Arri-
culture Wilson is enthusiastic over the pro-
Ject 10 establish the proposed Appalachian
park under government control is very
gratifying to those who are in favor Of
this movement looking to the preservation
OF the forests in this mountain region and
the saving of the mountains from the de-
nudation that is bound to be followed by
disaster to the surrounding territory. The
secretary is accompanied by his chief for
estry expert, and his Endorsement gives
added impetus to the plans of the Appala-
chian National Park He has considerable
influence with the members Of Congress.
and as his plans are very comprehensive
regarding the preservation of forests he Is
likely to have considerable support In this
project, which is a forerunner OF forestry
plans in other parts of the country
Ihe Secretary made one statement that
had considerable significance. He ven
tured the opinion that If the bill for this
park didn't go through the next Congress
II would never be passed. He however.
believed that II the park had the support
1t ought to have it's establishment would
pass the next Congress.
IL Is interesting to observe that the Sec
retary during his weeks stay here has
greatly enlarged his plans. He believes
now that they should be much more extern
siVe Tor the preservation Of the forests
than originally suggested. and he is heart
hy In favor OF the greater plans.

Value of the SharpshOOter.
rom Harper's Weekly,

The experience of the British forces in
South Africa demonstra ted the value of the
sharpshooter, and charging an intrenched
position seems now to be a thing of the
past. Had the Spaniards been as we'll
armed and of the same fighting material
as the Beers the American victory at San
Juan would probably have been a dis
astrOus defeat almost identical with that
of the British at Colenso. Hence the ne
cessity of drilling the National Guard ac-
cording to prevailing conditions The old
method of marching company in front of
target, and firing volley while standing,
has been eliminated, and skirmish firing
by company has replaced it. According to
the new orders each company advances
to the 5OO-yard line, and each man fires
two rounds; then at the word of COM
mand the men advance on the run to 400
yards, and again firing two rounds, they
rush forward to 800 yards, where, after
using two more rounds, the order is given
to retreat, the line being halted at $50
yards, and again at 450 yards, q volley
being fired at each point. The firing is al
ways done prone, so that in actual warfare
each man would be able to take advantage
Of any inequality the ground might offer
In the first three instances each man aims
and fires as quickly as possible, regard
less Of the others, but the last two are
volleys, only fired when the order is given.
In some instances the whole line sounds
as one shot, only one report being heard

cruise to the adjutant general, says that.
while he cannot refrain from expressing his
great satisfaction of the hearty interest and
cooperation on the part of both officers and
crew, ne notes for special mention the
cheerful manner In which the entire engt-
neer's force responded in the discharge of
their arduous duties in the engine and fire
room. The engineers force is composed
entirely OF volunteers Of the Naval Bat
talon.
The Target Practice.
A feature of the cruise was the target
practice, which proved to be satisfactory
from every standpoint. The sailor boys
had ample opportunity to display their pro-
fciency, and the results attained were
most gratifying to Commander Hams and
to all Of the officers of the battalion who
were present and witnessed the work OF
the marksmen. The men were first drilled
at the great guns in subcaliber practice
each man firing twenty rounds, the regular
crew firing first. Small arm practice with
the rifle, with the same allowance of am
munltlon per man, was also allowed. fol-
lowed by practice at the guns with full
charges the men firing the three six
Founders, three rounds EACH and those at
the TWO one-pounders six rounds each
AS the time did not permit the completion
of the practice in one day the work was
continued at later date.
During practice two regulation great gun
targets were used, the first one put out
d
1000 to 1900 yards. with the ship under
way at the time. The practice this year
exhibited a marked improvement over that
OF last year. The Ferns armament was
strengthened just before starting on the
cruise by the addition of two six-pounders
of the latest improved style, and it was
these large guns which played such havoc
on the canvas target.
Inc health of the crew was excellent
with two exceptions The patients were
sent to their homes-one from Old Point
comfort and the other upon reaching
Washington. The condition of neither was
regarded as serious

A Comprehensive Report From Con.
sui Baker.

sui Baker.
United States Consul O. H Baker
writes to the State Department that dia-
monds have been found in Bingara dis
trict of New South Wales at seven differ
ent places, and in Inverell district in fif-
teen different places; also at the Ruby tin
mines on Vegetable creek. In Bathurst dis
trict diamonds have been found in four diff
ferent localities; in Nudge district, al
fourteen different places; in Tambaroora
and Turon, at six different places, and In
Berima district at eight different locali-
ties. Several of these diamond fields have
been worked extensively with modern ma
chinery. The diamonds are small; some
are said to be of fine quality In Cudge-
gong district, in the first five months OF
systematic washing, over $500 diamonds
were discovered and over 1000 more were
discovered afterward, the largest being
5 5-S carats. The gems were mostly color
less but some had a straw color, yellow
ttnts, or tints of brown. Light and dark
green and black were discovered. One or
two Opaque ones were found, and one of a
dark-green color, with the appearance of
having been polished with black lead.
Black specks within the crystals were not
uncommon. The weight of the diamonds
averaged 0.224 carat.
In the Bingara diamond field the dia-
monds averaged about five to the carat;
the largest stone weighed 2 5-S carats, and
more than 80 per cent of the diamonds are
straw colored 1t is estimated that in the
BingaTa district IL, 600 diamonds were found
up to 1897 In Boggy Camp diamond field
(the most systematically worked of any in
New South Wales up to 1856 %, eco dia-
monds were found-total weight, 5,15l
carats. In 1895 the prospectors obtained
from one load of wash 515 diamonds. In
forty-two loads of wash 600 carats of dia-
monds and SIG pounds of stream tin were
found. At this place there is plant cap
able of treating $50 loads per week 1t
handled during the year 1898 1900 loads of
gravel, yielding II 1876 carats of diamonds
also large quantity of stream tin which
nearly paid the cost of treatment The out
put in 1889 was q $50 carats of diamonds
and 70 tons IL cWts. of stream tin The
mine closed in 1900; total product 81 400
carats of diamonds and 80 tons of stream
tin. The largest stone found in these mines
weighed 61a carats; 1t is believed to be the
largest diamond ever found in New South
wales. 1t was straW-colored broken
fragment of crystal, from which it was
estimated that the original stone may have
weighed 10 carats. About a half dozen
3-carat stones were also found, but the av-
erage size was one-third of a carat.
The Elliot Diamond and Tin Mining Com
Inverell diamond field The first washing
is said to have yielded carats of dia-
monds to the load, and over 40 pounds of
stream tin. Many diamonds are picked up
by prospectors here and there and find
their way to Sydney, but the quantity is
unknown. The jewelers. who buy them
nave been accustomed to send them to Eu-
rope to be cut. They do not care to make
statement that might invite competition.

The Land of Earthquakes.

There are certain generally accepted con-
clusions that are entirely wrong. One of
these Is as to the land Of the most frequent
earthquakes. Ask almost any person and
he will tell you that the most EARTHQUAKES
are in Japan; but he Is wrong It seems
as though we hear more about earthquakes
at or near Japan than at any other place
but when the cold facts are tabulated we
find that Greece Is away ahead of Japan
in seismic disturbances. The latest COM
plete reports cover a period of six years
from 1893 to 1898, and during that time
3.1S7 earthquakes occurred in Greece and
about one-half of that number in Japan-
The Island Of Zanta alone had 2Ol8 shocks
during the six years
