The Premier Diamond.

On January Goth a diamond
which completely dwarfs every one
found prior to that date was found
in the premier mine of South AT
RIGA. tits a stone Of good quality,
weighing 1902 carats, about 3x2x1
inches in dimensions, and weigh
ing about IL troy pounds. It is
more than three times the size of
the famous Jagersfontein diamond,
which previously held the South
African record, of 971 carats.
The value of this stone, Of course
is coniectural. No one would
dream Of buying such a gigantic
stone for purposes of personal adj
ornment. The only possible mar
ket for such gem would be some
monarchial country, which would
purchase the stone for use in the
crown jewels. This form Of ex-
travagance, however, is not as pop
ular as it once was, and the mar
ket might be said to be practically
closed. There is nothing, there
fore, but the splitting up Of this
stone into small pieces. If the

Mrs. B. f. Sears is the unfortunate
victim of the accident which has
resulted in such peculiar request
for assistance. Six weeks ago she
retired at Lewiston and wishing to
warm the bed, placed an electric
light bulb with the current on, at
her feet. The bulb set fire to the
bed covers and Mrs. Sears was hor-
ribly burned, practically her entire
body being denuded Of skin. The
woman has suffered great agony
and since her arrival at a Spokane
hospital it has been decided that
grating must be resorted to, The
woman's husband is an Elk. AS
soon as it was known that grating
would be necessary, several Elks
volunteered to give cuticle, and it
has been decided to accept the
offer. There are over 1000 mem
bers in the lodge and no fear is felt
of insufficient volunteers, though
the surface to be covered is four
square feet.

stone were cut into 100 pieces, val
uing it at 800 carat, the gem
would be worth over 100000.
There is suggestion that, as a
curiosity, the stone be purchased
and presented to the British Muse
UNI. The value Of the stone under
these circumstances would be very
much less than the 100000 re-
ferred to, owing to the fact that the
splitting and cutting out of such
an enormous stone would be very
expensive and hazardous proceed
ing.
The largest diamond now in ex-
istence, we believe, is the famous
Braganza, owned by the Portuguese
royal family. This weighs about
l,4OO carals, but is Of very inferior
color, and, we understand, that its
authenticity as diamond is open
to question. 1t was stated in the
writer's presence some years ago
that some diamond experts wished
to submit it to tests, but were re-
fused permission.
The discovery Of this huge stone
at the Premier, which, by the way,
is famous for its production of
large diamonds, has immensely in
creased the value Of the stock of
the company. The SIS shares are
now worth $455. The reason for
this can Re readily seen, when this
new discovery is equal to 7 per
cent Of the entire nominal capital
stock Of the company. The largest
diamond found i'll the Premier be-
fore this discovery weighed 392
carats.

A tunnel is sometimes readily
ventilated by merely placing ven
tilating pipe along the roof and
carrying the outer end to an ele-
walton Of several feet above the
pipe at the inner end of the tunnel.
The ventilation can be improved
by connecting the outside pipe with

available, is also effective. The
two latter schemes apply to shafts
