Every jewel. except perhaps consist

The most interesting feature OF Mr..
Kunz's preliminary review Of the indus

hopefulness OF California as a field for
gem discoveries. PaIa, in San Diego

the remarkable new variety called kun

GIANT RIVAL TO

Richmond Will Probably Aid the In
dependent Lines-Dayton-Indi-

Within the next three months, or at
least by the end Of summer, there will
be formed in the West an independ-
ent telephone company, which will be
backed by several large concerns, no
tably the Standard Oil Co., and
whose lines as they are projected now
will extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The company will be the
only rival Of the Bell Telephone Co.
and it's constituent lines in telephone
service. A party of Pittsburg men
who are interested in Pittsburg tele-
phone companies are going over the
proposed route looking up the pros
poets for the success of such a line.
They, as they said, are planning to
do for the independent telephone
companies what was done for the
the railroads some years ago, to make
it possible to talk a long distance
without changing lines and currents.
Nearly every city of any conse~
quence has a system of independent
telephone companies which are able
to compete with the Bell company 10.
cally.
Representatives Of nearly every To-
cal independent company have been
at work on this plan for a year or
more and when the present tour OF
capitalists is over the final steps will
be taken toward the merger.
Richmond has a Bell Co. and an
independent company and Richmond
will figure in this proposed merger
being an excellent way point on
routes from Dayton to indianapolis
and from Chicago to Cincinnati
There has not been much done as tC
the Chicago Cincinnati line, but it Is
expected that this route will be gone
over. But in regard to the Dayton

as though this will go through re
