BRITISH GUIANA'S MINIS.
II IL Believed That the Country IL
Rioh In Both Gold and Dia-
monds.

An official report on the gold. dia'
mond and forest industries of British
Guiana for the year ending June 90
1901, has just been received in this
country and shows that great efforts
are being made by the authorities Of
the colony to stimulate the produc'
tion of both gold and diamonds. The
report declares that with the req.
uisiLc capital and labor, the fields
are capable OF indefinite expansion
saws the New York Sun.
While the work of inducing add.
tional investments has been going on
those len who are now engaged in
the gold-mining business have not
been idle. A dredger has been erect
ed on the Barima river and conces-
sions have been obtained from the
government on the Conowarook
Purini, Cuyuni, Groete creek and
BariT-a rivers. The men holding
thee concessions are waiting for re-
turns from the Barima and II these
are as favorable as they are expect
ed to lie, work on the other streams
will begin at once. From June 80.
1900. to June 80, 1901. the production
OF ed in the colony was 109,2o7
our, es.
The report IL even more sanguine
of the future of the diamond fields.
1t says:
Zone Of the most encouraging
eytn.s Of tho year has been the at
tention that has been given to the
diamond deposits OF the Mazarini.
Since July 7, 1900. no less than 1888
dinmands have been declared at the
depa; ment of mines as well as 2,15l
sa1rhires. With the exception of 1863
dia~ onds coming from Potaro, all of
these stones are from the Mazarini
diamond fields"
1t Las recently been discovered
that the area In which the diamonds
lie s much more extensive than WIS
sup, osed. The mode of their occur
rem, . is similar to that of the Bra
lillian diamonds in western MinAs=
Geraes and at Sac Joeo de Chapods.
On account OF this fact, the report
says:
"As the present production of the
Brazilian washings Is estimated at
$4,000 carats per annum, the council
are of the opinion that the utmost
Importance attaches to these indica-
lions and furthermore think it to the
interest OF the colony that the gov
eminent geologist be instructed to
report fully on the diamond fic. IS. Il
would seem advisable that the gov.
prnment should send up an expedi=
ton thoroughly to report on the
present condition of the fields, par
ticularly as there are many men on
the ground and disputes will very
likely arise as to the locations"
The customs returns show that last
year 906 carats of diamonds were ex-
ported. The total number Of labor
ers employed in the gold mines at
present is 1888.

Larceny by Mr.. scrugss.

Mr.. scruggs is large gentleman
possessing great dignity, partly nat.
ural and partly gained through much
experience as presiding officer in
countless financial and charitable or
CARNATIONS.
One sweltering summer day, as he
dropped into his seat in the afternoon
train which was 60 carry him down
to his country place, he noticed with
much displeasure that Immediately
behind him was the inevitable tired
mother with the usual very small
children. But the youngsters were
quiet, and the motion OF the car soon
had its effect. Mr.. Scrugg's chin
sank upon his breast, and he slept.
Suddenly he became acutely con-
scious that something warm and
sticky had been violently inserted be-
tween his collar and the back of his
neck. He lurched Indignantly to his
feet. just as a shrill voice exclaimed,
with great distinctness: "0h, ma,

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since.
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds Of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.

HUNT FOR
TRAIN ROBBERS

Hayre, Mont. July 5.-There now
seems to be an excellent prospect
for capturing the train robbers who
held Nd the Great Northern flyer
Wednesday afternoon near Wag-
ner. The men have been recognized
as the famous Curry outlaws. "Kid"
Curry is the leader. Another is
ramed Long Boe aud the third
man is unknown.
A COW puncher riding north from
the Missouri River met The three
bandits about 10 miles south Of
Malta, They asked the COW punch
er to notify men following them that
they were going South. The cow
puncher had only gone about four
miles when he met Sheriff Griffith
with posse ol IS men, comprising
the best gunmen in Western Mon
tana. They were only about eight
miles behind the robbers.
The posse is growing larger con-
stantly, and their horses are hc,ng
changed frequently. The COW
puncher said the third man in the
party had bandage around his
head. This was probably caused
by one or two shots fired by Shel #
Grt1ith, who was on the train. The
amount of money taken is now esti--
mated at about Sis. 900.
