On Mr. Hudson's farm is a field about
ten acres in extent Of rocks Of ali de-
scEiptions. While crossing this Mr.. Hud-
sons son found q crystal which seemed
to have a peculiar light He took il 20
jewelor Of Columbus. who. after a care
full examination. thought il might be a
diamond So interested was he in the
specimen that he advised Mr. Hudson to
write to Mr. Kunz. and send him the
stone This Mr.. Hudson did, and in reply
received word that the stone was dia-
mond, for which an offer OF $50 was made.
To this Mr. Hudson agreed, and he re-
ceivcd a check for the amount.
The only important recent find report
ed prior 10 that OF Mr.. Hudson was a
diamond OF ~ carats found in Alabama.

spots in a garden Some Of this earth

ARE THERE DIAMOND FIELDS

Is there a field Of diamonds somewhere
up in British North America TO the
i westward Of Hudson Bay So a man
OF science said. in the Popular
Science Monthly net long ago. He told
CT the discovery Of small diamonds here
and there in the glacial Inoraines-the
hills Of gravel and pebbles left by The
melting ice sheet OF the glacial period
and said that the stones were evidently
scoOped from the surface Of a diamond
field at the point where the glaciers start
