LEAGUE WANTS CITY
WAGES PAID IN Cash

City laborers should be paid in cash
rather than by chez ks, says the Mime
apolis Improvement league in, resol-
ations RECEIVED today by the city clerk.
They will be. presented to the council
at its meeting next Friday evening.
The league makes the point that
most Of these checks are cashed in sa-
looms and probably not without pay
ing a considerable commission in the
purchase of drinks. It is believed that
if the men receive the money in cash
they are not likely to seek saloons,
and at least will not feel under obliga-
tions to buy as much liquor as when
the bartender does the favor Of cashing
a check. - -. G.>:
To enable the workingmen to carry
more money home on pay day, the
league. requests the city council to or
| der matters 50 that men can be paid
directly in coin and currency.
| This system was in vogue in Mime
apolis some years ago and was under
stood to be satisfactory except that it
cost some money. To pay upward Of
| 1000 men at the works will require the
services Of an additional clerk and a
paywagon and driver. One of the
tprincipal reasons for making the change
was the matter Of expense.

Weather Conditions.

Cloudy weather is reported in much
of the southern half of the United
States, except on the south Atlantic
and gulf coasts, with rain during the
past twenty-four hours from Louis
lana northeastward to Virginia, also in
northern Texas, Oklahoma, southern
Kansas and northern New Mexico. The
heaviest rains were 2.24 inches at
Shreveport, 1.24 at Asheville, and O.eS
at New Orleans. Clear weather ls gen.
eral in the northern half Of the United
States. The high pressure over the mid
die west yesterday now, overlies the
lower Missouri valley, while there are
low pressure areas over the extreme
southwest, the north Pacific coast and
Saskatchewan. AS the anti-cyclone
moves southeastward, followed by fall
ing pressure, the temperature in this
vicinity will rise tonight and Sunday.
The Saskatchewan low pressure, in its
southeastward movement, may cause in
creasing cloudiness: but rain is not ex-
pected tonight or Sunday.

Precious Stones in Amador.

1t is a matter of record that in
Amador county has been found a
number of gems of excellent quality
therefore,, however, the section that
has surrendered these precious stones
has been the eastern portion of the
county-Volcano and vicinity. Dia-
monds of remarkable Iustre and OF
much value were found there in early
days. Of late years, little has been
done in this line, possibly from the
fact that the gravel mining industry
has fallen off heavily, and hence the
chances of finding the gems have been
materially reduced.
Recently, however, Amador as a
possible diamond field, has been
brought prominently to the front and
in an entirely new and unsupported
field.
stone. cut, polished and finished,
taken from the new field. In size it
was equal to a cherry stone. No one
except an expert could detect any
difference between this gem and a
diamond of the first water from the
South African fields. The Iustre and
fire we're seemingly all that could be
desired. We we're told its market
value was about $50. G. E. Jarvis OF
Sutter Creek was the owner of the
gem.
The place where this and other
gems have been found is on the line
of the lone and Eastern railroad. A
prominent resident of lone made a
number of trips to the pottery clay
banks, opened up ina small way some
two miles out of lone. 1t was some
time before the attractive influences
that called him that way so often
became known. 1t is not every one
that knows diamond in the rough
when he sees 1T anyway. After secur-
ing several likely looking stones, a
lapidary was consulted, and one or
iA1OAS Va ohO AOoSho hC1O
for treatment, with the result that
sparkling gems that would not dis
grace any tiara or coronet were pro-
duced.
1t is said that fully 70 of these
samples have been found in the
neighborhood referred to. They
are found in the clay deposit.
The stone is hard enough to cut
glass. 1t is not claimed that they are
equal to first class diamonds, but are
fully equal to what is known as the
Alaska diamonds. No systematic
effort has been made so far to as
certain the value of the clay beds as
diamond depositaries. 1t is not i'm
probable that an industry OF con-
siderable value may be developed in
this direction.
