DIAMOND MINES FRAUDS
Few Genuine Brazilian Properties;
Mostly Fake Schemes,

WASHINGTON July 15.-Consul
General George e. Anderson, IN g. re-
port TO the Bureau OF Manufactures
from Rio Janiero, charges that while
some bona fide Brazilian diamond
mines may result profitably, that coun-
try is full of schemes which are either
out and out frauds, or are based on
claims and facts so slight as to make
them little less than frauds. The re-
port says the United States and Great
Britain. especially New York, Chicago
and London, are the chief financial
bases OF operations for a number Of
promoters who have never done any
mining, and that there are a number OF
so-called mining companies now solic-
itlng stock subscriptions In the United
States whose officers are not even Ger
tain where the land they claim as prop
erty lies.
The report states that experienced
men in Brazilian mining fields say that
not single mining company operating
in the gold and diamond fields of Bra
zil has paid a dividend.
The Consul General adds that it is q
lamentable fact that a large proportion
Of Brazilian mining enterprises are
frauds and that there are now men in
the United States with enterprises
which represent nothing more than the
money they can get from the American
publiC

Montezuma club. Senator Clark came
here from Tonopah. where he had been

who is now building a road from Cold
field TO Bullfrog.
AS Senator Clark Is building a road
from Las Vegas on the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road north to
Bullfrog citizens Of Goldfeld and To-
nopah were naturally greatly Interested
in knowing If he was to continue his
road north from Bullfrog to Goldfeld
and Tonopah. 1t had been reported
that Mr.. Clark had bought the survey
OF the Goldfeld and Bullfrog railroad
and consequently there would be only
the one road between these points. In
an interview, Senator Clark said;
Has Not Purchased Road.
II have not bought the Goldheld and
Bullfrog railroad survey and from
what Mr.. Brock told me believe that
his road will be built. 1t Is now under
construction, but that will not deter me
from building into this district from
the south. 1 Will positively build a
road from Bullfrog to Goldfeld and
Tonopah. My surveying corps Is now
thirty-one miles out OF Bullfrog on the
survey and the next time ] come into
Goldheld l expect 1t will be over my
own line, I can see nothing that may
arise that Will deter me from building
this road.
Feeders to Salt Lake Route.
1.-THE Salt Lake route has been a
success far beyond my expectations
and l will build feeders TO that road
wherever there is business TO justify IT,
This is my first trip TO this part of
Nevada and I am astonished at the
wonderful showing made. 1t far ex-
ceeds expectations. My representatives
who have canvassed this country have
not been mistaken In their reports TO
me- | look for a splendid future for
Goldf1eld. When l do build into Gold
fed, I will give the people a fair show
and will not expect 10 get the cost of
the road back the first year." this re-
mark being adduced by the high
charges made by the Tonopah and
Goldheld railroad. which paid It's en-
tire cost the fret year OF It's operation.

Counties Boni de Castellane formerly
Anna Could entered a plea in Paris for
divorce from her husband. Representa-
tives of the countess and the count APP
peared before judge, who, according to
the French law. endeavored to arrange
a reconciliation before allowing definite
suit to proceed.
Rumors have been current for a long
time that the countess had decided that
continuation of her relations with her
husband was impossible and her removal
from the Castellane residence to a hotel
in the center of Paris gave support to
the belief that she had decided TO COM
plete the separation.
With reference to the counts conduct
the name of a prominent society leader
OF Paris, a woman of high standing, has
been mentioned. But the greatest reti-
cence has been maintained by all the par
ties concerned relative to the progress
Of the negotiations looking to a concilia-
ton. 1t now appears that the efforts
of those interested in bringing about a
settlement without an appeal to the
courts have been unavailing.
Almost on the same day which brought
the news of the Yerkes-M nuptials
came the story that the worthless French
man of the empty pocket and empty title,
who married, and has squandered from
S10,000,O00 to S20,000,O00 of the wealth
which a great American brain had accu-
mulated, is to be divorced by his wife.
Following are some of the ways in which
Count Boni spent the Gould millions:

Construction of Warships.
During the year 1905 the most active
nations in the building of battleships
have been Germany and this country.
Great Britain launched during the year
two battleships and four armored cruis-
ers. France launched one battleship and
one armored cruiser; Germany two bat
tleships; Russia one battleship; Italy a
battleship and an armored cruiser: Japan
two battleships and one cruiser, and the
United States four battleships and one
armored cruiser. The British battIeships
are the Africa and Hibernia, of 1880
tons, and they are individually heavier
than any of the other battleships
launched.
The list of vessels completed and COIN
missioned by the various powers shows
that Great Britain has put FIVE battle
ships and four armored cruisers into SER
vice; France one armored cruiser, Ger
many two battleships and two armored
cruisers, Russia no large vessels at all.
Italy one armored cruiser, Japan no YES
sells at all, and the United States five

the King Edward VII. class. and are
of the same displacement as the vessels
launched; the German battleships are
the Hessen and Preussen, of 1900 tons,
while the United States battleships are
the Rhode Island and her sisters, with
a displacement Of rather more than A.

To be sch a successful wife, to re-

Her Idea of 1t.

An official of one Of the telegraph
companies tells an amusing story of a
young woman in a Pennsylvania town
who wished to send a telegram to q
New York firm ordering a supply of
dress goods.
After some inquiries as to whether
the line really and truly did ''con-
meet with New York." the young wom-
an finally decided to afford the COM
pany the benefit of her patronage.
Opening her hand bag, she took there
from various samples which she con-
suited from time to time as she under
took the task of expressing her wants
in the usual "ten words" When she
had apparently completed the inter
esting operation. she attached two of
the samples to the telegraph form and
handed her message TO the man at the
window. Her telegram read as fol-
lows:
