AMERICAN DIAMOND CUTTERS.
Fully Established in the Industry in
New York.


Gem cutting in America has ceased to be
an experiment and become a recognized in
dustry-recognized not merely at home as
one more thing that Uncle Sam can do well.
but recognized abroad as one more thing in
which Yankee competition is to be feared.
Time was when the cutting Of precious
stones was admittedly one of the things
that Europe could do better than America,
and America made no attempt to dispute
the supremacy. And for Europe one might
almost read Holland" for Holland had
practically worlds monopoly of the in
dustry. And all this not more than
generation ago.
1t was in 1873 that the first rough or I'M
cut diamonds were imported into this coun-
try-and then a few only, valued at only
$17G, 1926 For five years the experiment
continued with so little success that in 1878
the imports had dropped to $63, go. 1t
rather looked as If Uncle Sam, jack of all
trades that he is, could not master this
one. But that was the turning point. From
then on the importations of rough dia-
monds increased year by year, at first
gradually, but finally by leaps and bounds,
until at present they are running up in the
neighborhood Of 100000 year and still
increasing. And the importation of uncut
diamonds is, needless to say. an exact
measure of the growth Of the industry.
Diamonds are quoted because diamonds
are recognized as the most difficult Of all
hardest gem known, but they require a
more complicated cutting and a greater
skill In bringing out their beauties. And
with diamonds, the importations in the
rough represent absolutely the quality cut.
for there is practically home produc-
ton, while almost every other known gem
is produced in marketable quantities some
where in the United States So that the
increase in the rough imports is a more
than fair measure of the growth of the
gem-cutting industry.
Fifteen or twenty years ago there was not
a gem cutting establishment of any i'm
portance in the city. One leading firm had
a cutting department which was mainly
engaged in recruiting. 1t existed, that is
about all. because it was necessary to the
completeness of the establishment. But
like all the other jewelers. in the country
they imported practically all their gems
ready cut And the two or three struggling
lapidaries that did manage to keep their
heads above water in some dingy, obscure
corner of the jewelers. district were chiefly
engaged in recruiting. All of them together
could not have made one establishment of
any reputation for solvency, although there
are many such today down on Maiden lane
and Nassau and John streets.

Sound Advice to Colcred People.

The negro has had hard and long road
to travel He is impoverished by the tyranny
of trades unions. The door of the factory
is closed against him. Idleness-enforced
as it is in many respects upon him-breeds
crime and lawlessness. The color line IL
drawn In every conceivable manner-begin-
ming with the Y. M. c. A. and ending with
the jail-and yet must yield to the
opinion that the negro is not making the
most of his opportunities. He can be a
gentleman. He can cultivate a perfect
mannerism for the street and all public
places. 1t costs nothing. We have APP
pealed to our preachers to preach more OF
this and less golden slippers and white
robes. The negro knows the road TO glory.
What he needs most Is more exhortatIon
along lines of morals and good citizenship.
Something that will regulate his conduct
toward his fellows. white and black. We
insist that we must be up and doing. and
the sooner the negro realizes that denounc-
ing bungaloos and not denouncing the acts
on our part which sometimes call forth
these outbreaks, the better 1t will be fo-
the two races.
Our white friends however. should re-
member that they have had opportunities
since the days of Adam. and We should be
Judged according to the short measure OF
the opportunity afforded us. Let us live
together in peace and harmony

The Janitor.

The ianitor's life is not always a happy
one. Even If the tanitor is at times less
polite than the tenant wishes him to be- If
his demands as to the use of water, the dis
posal of ashes and the reception of par
cells seem tyrannical. he is always the
guardian Of the house. and does the fault
finding tenant many favors for which he
never receives credit. He has been the I'M
complaining butt Of the joker and the car
toonist long that it is refreshing to note
that there are some people who appreciate
his worth and willing to reward him
for it. The janitor lives in small, cramped
and often insanitary quarters; he is re-
sponsible for the condition of the house:
he stands between the tenant and the I'M
welcome visitor: he is at times expected to
see everything. and again is asked to be
accommodatingly blind. He repairs the
water pipe or the electric wires, fixes the
radiator or finds the lost baby. and his wife.

has been the walk out at the warehouse

no notice of strike, or Of any dissatis
faction, but simply sat on their benches
until they were told to get out if they
were not going to work. Most of them
grew sick of their actions by Wednesday
and have gone back to work.

ELECTION OF RECORDER
Proposed Action In Relation tn
the Recorders Office.

The exististing condition Of affairs
relative 90 the position of mining
recorder of Tonopah district is one Of
accute controversy as between two
well known factions who are active
operators in various interests. With
all this the general public has nothing
To do, except to place the priceless
records in the hands of other than
either one of the warning elements.
The organization of Tonopah dis
trict in the first instance was incom-
plete, inasmuch as no formal set of
bylaws were adopted into a code OF
local customs, rules and regula
tons. At the first miners meeting
held 7. l.. Oddie was made secretary
and it now appears he holds the only
continuous authority. Thos Egan
was chosen first recorder, who was
succeeded by Robt. Gordon. When
the latter gentleman left he dele
gated official duties to w. b. Sollen-
der as deputy, who in the absence of
a specified term continues to hold
the position, no successor having been
elected and qualified Mr.. Oddie
has been the recipient of petitions
asking for the calling of an election
at which a new recorder may be
chosen, together counter petition
to the effect that no such action be
had. In default OF action by Mr..
Oddie the only authority competent
to straighten out the muddle under
the highest law, the United States
mining act of 1872, is the mass of
claimowners and miners themselves,
to whom the whole question should be
referred. Past errors and omissions
may be fully remedied by the adop-
ton of district laws not in conflict
with the United States or State
statutes and containing a clause fix
ing the tenure of the Office of district
. recorder. To some officer, say tht
president or secretary, should b,
intrusted the duty of calling the reg
ular elections at the stated times.
+. There must be no necessity for the
recording of mining claims at TIN
county seat, with attendant delay
in obtaining certified copies, etc.
: from that distant hamlet of the past
: For the benefit of the present ant
security in the future, miners mas
meeting should be called and Il flu

County Seat Question.

The Lyon County Times outlines
these projects for new county inesto
be considered by Nevada S legislature
this winter. A new county with
Tonopah as he county seat; the Els
meraldo county seat to be removed
from Hawthorne to Sodaville; the
consolidation of Storey, Ormsby,
Lyon and Douglas counties, with the
seat of government at Carson. All
of these schemes are but talked of,
and with the possible exception OF
the Tonopah project it is most I'M
likely that any of them will be seri-
ously considered:
There is considerable talk here OF
removing the county seat to Tonopah
and bill will be introduced at this
session of the legislature providing
for the removal and the issuance OF
bonds for the building of a court
house.
