Dues. Will you please let me know
if diamonds have ever been discovered
in the State of Montana. Il miner from
this state claims there was diamond
stampede there about ten years ago,
and some fine stones were found.
A SUBSCRIBER ON DEXTER.
Ans.-No real diamonds. but some
very good limitations. Montana has
produced many gems, and believe did
have stampede, thinking diamonds
had been discovered, which created
quite little excitement; but the dia-
monds turned out to be sapphires. one
of the varieties of corundum.
Sapphlres when found in clear crys-
tails will fool the ordinary miner on ac-
count of their hardness, for they will
cut glass nearly as well as diamond.
being only one lower in the scale Of
hardness. The best way to distinguish
the pure white sapphire from the dia-
mOnd. is in their crystalline form. The
sapphires found in Montana we're cut
to initiate the real article, mounted
and sold, but in a few months they
would cloud mp and lose their clearness.

Saturdays Speaking
Last Saturday evening the O

Last oa'uioay oVehibS tne opera
house was packed to hear Judge
Richards of Boise, on Republican
ism, Americanism, and to reply
to Dubois on Mormonlsm.
Colonel Rockwell, the owner of
the Minnie Moore mine at Haley,
who has done much for the busi-
ness of that locality and to inter
est capital in Idaho, spoke for
some time on the .subjecl of the
constructive principle of the
Republican party and the neces-
sity of building up our free public
schools to keep them equal in
point of excellence, to the best in
the country. He brought out the
idea that we cannot induce the
best people in America to come tc
Idaho or any other new and re-
sourceful state if the schools are
not up to good standard of ex-
cellence, and that agitation cf any
subject that reveals dissension in
society whether based on religion,
schools, marriage laws, or any
thing that smacks of unsettled !
conditions of society puts a damp
er on immigration, and especially |
on the influx of that class which |
is the most desirable. Col. Rock
we'll is one of those strong charac-
ters who makes a mark wherever
he works or acts, and according to
accounts received from different
sources he is leaving his impress
on the social and business life of
Wood River valley in a degree
that is worthy of study.
Judge Richards is a very easy
and persuasive speaker, and is in
strong contrast to the gentleman
whose arguments he was to ans
wer He is slender man of
simple and unassuming manner.
He stands before his audience
with one hand in his pocket and
;Blks to them in quiet way, di-
rectlug the force of logic and
plain truth to the consideration of
minds. Dubois, although
4 speaker of national reputation I
who commands respectful atten-
ion in our highest Legislative
body, not only talks, but tears the
lir with his arms as il to pound
us arguments into unwilling +,
minds, but stops at intervals to

ing the animals. (" Judge Rich. ,

Lost River Storage
The engineers sent ont to

ivy tue reservoir sites on Lost
river by the reclamation depart
ment In response to the TELEGRAPH
petitions seut in last winter, aud
also upon the request of State En-
gineer Wayne Darlington, have
reported, and have laid especial
stress upon the feasibility of fur
nishing water for the valley from
great reservoir to be built on
Antelope creek. This big tribu-
tary flows into the valley from
the southwest, about twelve miles
below Mackay, and constitutes the
boundary between Blaine and
Custer counties. 1t heads up
high in the mountains and drains
a great basin in which is consider
able timber. There is a point iu
the lower part Of the valley where
it is crossed by a rock formation
which at one time formed bar
rler that made lake of the main
part of the valley. Away back in
the geological ages before fishing
was good at Arco, before Lost
river got lost, and possibly before
there were any good groupings
visible on the surface of White
Knob mountain, this barrier was
cut away, leaving narrow outlet
less than half a mile wide, and
the silt which had been going to
the bottom of the lake all the
while became the soil which now
produces such valuable hay crops
on the ranches of Chas. Lafever
and his neighbors. Now come
the wise men Of the reclamation
service and say that by building a
dam across the outlet and turning
some Of these farms into fish
hatcherles and duck ponds, and by
building canals to carry the water
nortbward toward Houston till the
grade is used up, and then cross
ing the valley to water the other
side, aud by making a great canal
to carry water down the right or
west side of the valley toward
Arco and Era Flat, that all this
territory can be put under culti-
vation and waste lands sold to
homeseekers at prices that would
pay the entire cost of the dam and
canal system. Some good oh
servers from the sugar factory at
Blackfoot who have looked over
he valley carefully, say that this
water will Just about cover the
