KENTUCKY PROMISES
TO BE DIAMOND FIELD
South African Expert Discovers indi-
cations of Deposits in Blue
Grass State.

David Draper, diamond expert, or
johannesburg South Africa, passed
through Pittsburg the other night for
Richmond, Va. He recently returned
from Elliott county, Ky, where he in
veStigated and inspected land between
Ison and Creeches creeks, says a Pitts
burg correspondent of the New York
World He is the first diamond mine
expert from South Africa to inyesti-
gate the possibilities of finding dia-
monds in Kentucky-pipes, as they are
called in diamond mining.
The correspondent read the report
Mr. Draper made of the mines through
the courtesy OF W. L. MCGEE. one OF
the owners of the land. Mr.. Draper ia
his report said that if prospects had
appeared on the surface in South Al
rica as they do in Elliott county, KY,
hundreds of thousands of dollars would
have been invested i'll a thorough pros
pecting.
His report shows that garnets, ILL
menite, Divine, dopside and mica
should be found in the deposits. So far
reports of the finding of diamonds are
legendary, but the thick growth of veg
citation would preclude the possibility
of finding the gems unless they We're
Systematically searched for.
Mr.. Draper calls attention to the fact
that some of the TranSvaal mines We're
discovered only after twenty five years
OF prospecting. although il was evident
to mining experts that diamonds exist
ed there. He compares the cost of fuel
and labor in Kentucky with that OF
South Africa, which is in favor of Ken
lucky.
He says the total cost of thoroughly
prospecting the Kentucky property
would aggregate 100000. His report
states further that he would not be
surprised if the pipes We're laid open
that larger ones would be found in
Kentucky than have ever been found
in South Africa; also that it would re-
quire the finding only of five carats of
stones per load i'll Kentucky to make
the mine paying one.
The pipes he examined, he asserts,
are through "Kimberlite" and of vol
canic origin and should produce just as
rare gems as have ever been found in
the Transvaal. The Kentucky property
is so situated that the earth in being
removed could be readily dumped from
the hill, whereas in South Africa it has
to be hauled by trans and wire ropes
Ioug distances.
The earth thus dug out is left ex-
posed TO the atmosphere from four
months to year before it is sorted
ont, washed and the diamonds and
other minerals removed. 1t would re-
quire two years work thoroughly to ex-
plot the property for precious stones.
His report states that nowhere mas
he found as good indications of dia
monds as in the Kentucky field. The
promoters of the enterprise have
bought up $4,000 acres of land sur
rounding the ground which will be
opened.
