The Next Diamond Fields.

Three countries have afforded the worlds supply Of diamonds up to the present time, namely India, Brazil and South Africa. The oldest source of supply, of course, is India, but the fields of that country have been almost entirely exhausted. Neverthe- less, until 1729, when diamonds were first discovered in Brazil, India was the only source from whence these precious stones were drawn. While the Brazil ian diamonds, as rule, are small their specialization is most per- feet, and they possess the richest lustre of any diamonds known. The only large diamond from Brazil is known as the "Star of the South, weighing 250 karats 
 in the rough and 125 karats when polished. This stone was found in the district of Diamantina in 1853, by a negro slave, and has the peculiar qualification of giv- ing off in certain lights rose tint, although perfectly white itself. It was sold to Q Paris syndicate soon after it's discovery for S175, ,000, and subsequently, purchased by an Indian prince. The last great deposit of dia- monds was found in South Africa, and in a comparatively short time has made the owners of the diamond mines, or fields" as they are called, immensely rich.
 The next large diamond dis coveries may be looked for in America and Australia. Scat tered stones have been found in several localities on both these continents, the local formations
 being eminently favorable. Some day a fortunate prospector will stumble on the spot and there will be another great rush for wealth, such as arOuses the
 world once in q generation Mining and Engineering Review.

Direct From the School

The new attache, direct from the Pulitzer school of journal ism had just assumed the chair of his predecessor, the night ed itor, and was surveying a bunch of proof slips with marked dis: favor
 "I really cannot sanction these evidences of applied careless ness," he remarked sotto voce. as he endeavored to remove an ink smudge with his pencil eras- CT. ''They argue undue haste and serious irreverence for the true and the beautiful. 1 see 1 have an exhaustive mission be- fore me-" And he sighed heav- fly.
 There was a sharp rap at the door and a smudgy boy appeared on the threshold. The boy looked doubtful as his gaze rest eI on the newcomer.
 "Is you de night editor?" he asked.
 'I am the nocturnal meiSter- scribe, " replied the man at the desk.
 The boy breathed hard.
 "Well, it's de night editors room all right" he muttered, "an' de foreman says he's wait in for de proofs.
 The new man knit his corru- gated brow.
 Say to the composing chief that the proofs have not yet been favorably passed upon," he replied with dignity.
 The boy breathed still harder. 'He says de presses is waitin'. "
 Presses are impersonal, my young friend" said the new man. 'It is the pressmen who wait. "
 The boy gasped.
 ''Dey're all swearin' to beat de band," he said.
 The new man suddenly turned in hlS chair.
 Not profane?" he cried.
 ''No, sir; jus swearin'.'
 ''I will make a memorandum of this painful circumstance, " said the new man, and once more he mnrmured: "I see 1 have an exhaustive mission before me. "
 He turned to the boy.
 "That is all," he said.
 A moment later he was again busy with the pencil eraser.- Chicago Inter-Ocean.

THE SONGS MY MOTHER SANG

In the Castle of Retrospection, in Memory s
 dim gray hall Full many misty picture hangs on the ancient
 wall; Pictures of those who loved US, pictures of
 those we knew Ere the morning sank to even and the shadows
 longer grew; And cen as q ghost revisits the scenes of It's
 earthly care, I seek that hall in the twilight shade and look
 for the pictures there. Sweet are the olden faces surrounding me there
 in throngS, But sweetest of all is my mothers face as she
 sang the old, old song: Hush. my dear, lie still and Slumber; Holy angels guard thy bed. Still my earthly years number Still my feeting years are sped; But the picture of the singer, though no more
 the sweet notes fall Yet is sweetest of the many hung for me on
 Memory'S wall. Here, behind misty curtain. smiles the face
 of one so fair, That the angels up in heaven took her in their
 loving care; Here are playmateS on the meadow, where the
 brook ran tirlzling down, Trying with it's babDling laughter all our shouts
 of mirth to crown; Schoolmatcs, laughing in their places; teachers
 frOwninS in their play; Those loved and those cherished in better,
 brighter day; But turn from all these faces, though their
 days were days of gold, Whispering lowly: Omy mother, sing for me
 the songs of old Heavenly blessings without number Rest upon my darling's head;,' I am tired and fain would slumber; Be thy lovelight OCT me shed. For though Memorys faces haunt me, in their
 Silkcn meShes hold There is none so sweet as mothers as she sang
 the songs Of old. Alfred J. Warehouse in Sunset Magazine.

MILITIA SCANDALS.
Governor Peabody of Colorado May
Order a Sweeping Investigation
of Alleged Grating.

Denver, Oct. General Chase will
return to Cripple Creek this after
noon, and resume command of the
state guard. The investigation of the
alleged gratis which have been prac-
ticed by certain officials will be COM
menced before the end of the week.
Just how extensive these gratis have
been is not known, but it is said even
small things, which brought in money
have not been overlooked.
Railroad passes were obtained in
the names of privates and sold to civil
llans. 1t is alleged that this graft will
cost the state $41,000 as it will have
to pay for the transportation. Then
immense quantities of clothing and
firewood have been purchased. 1t is
stated that the Governor may recall
the useless officers, and otherwise as
sist in the reform of General Chase.
Charges of bribery are among the
matters that will be investigated
should the Governor order a court OF
inquiry, in addition to the examination
of the books and pay rolls, which
Louis SchwanbecK will make. These
would affect some merchants, who
have been furnishing supplies to the
troops, as we'll as certain officers OF

SOCORRO FLOURISHING.
Alfalfa, Wheat and Fruit Crops This
Year Have Been Very Pro-
ductive.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Socorro, N. NJ, Oct. 5-A close OBJ,
servation of conditions as they really
exist, would convince the most skep
tical, that Socorro is in more flour
ishing condition today, than at other
like periods for the past ten years
Three elements have caused or have
been leading factors in this great
change.
The first our schools. No town OF
its population being able to make a
like showing at present. We have the
School of Mines, the convent of Mt.
Carmel, two public schools, two pri-
vate schools and the intermediate
school conducted by the School of
Mines. All employing some twenty
odd instructors.
Foremost among these is the School
of Mines conducted by Professor
Keyes, one of the most intelligent and
progressive instructors in the Great
Southwest, who has secured faculty
that is second to none of it's kind in
the United States. The school has
now enrolled about fifty-five advanced
students. These with the professors
and their families distribute two hun
dred dollars daily; add that to the
amount it costs to maintain the con-
vent with it's forty boarders, day stu
dents and those out of town who at
tend the public schools and the total
amount put into circulation by this
factor alone amounts to over four
hundred dollars daily. This is one fac
tor which is causing Socorro to pros
per.
The second is farming, stock rails
ing and mining. Socorro by far leads
in all counties in acreage of agricul-
tural lands. The past season was all
that a farmer could ask. Good land,
sunshine and plenty of water for irri-
cation. Alfalfa, wheat and fruits be-
ing the principal revenues for our
farmers.
The same causes that made our
farmers successful, also benefited
stock and ranges. The last but not the
least is our mining industry, which in
quiet way adds to our prosperous
condition. A prominent mining man
who is considered very conservative
says that -four thousand dollars pei
day are paid to the miners of SocOrrC
county
We still have another factor in addl
tion to the three above named and
this is the health-seeker who by the
way contributes daily very handsome
returns, so it can readily be seen thai
Socorro has the foundations thai
cause prosperity and by the way oul
merchants are laying in winter stocks
demonstrate that they have faith in
it's continuance.
