High prices in diamonds and to pay s2Oi
for a diamond will no longer prevail IN
Omaha. 1t has been known for more than
three years that the art of making a per-
feet diamond had been accomplished by a
Paris chemist. Buyers and western con-
noisseurs have marveled among them-
selves and have wondered where the gem
could be secured and from what they are
made. William A. Scholl. known through
out the west as Diamond Dick" the head
OF the William A. Scholl company of New
York City. who represents the foreign
makers OF the stone, Is the man who
holds the secret, and tells It to no one.
Mr. Frandsen. the jeweier, of 10s South
Sixteenth street, through some influence
known 10 himself only, secured the sale of
It, AS near as is known 1t is a quick
process of capitalization by boiling a caret
OF carbon from n certain amount Of steel,
and Is not classed as an imitation by the
eastern class. but on the same principle as
manufactured ice. II answers the same
purpose and requires a perfect frst-water
gem to compare with IL, and the selling
price is $l3 or SIS per carat, and above all
is fine purchase for speculation.
THE FARMER AND HIS DOG.
Twenty years ago." said Diamond
Dick" the farmer was satisfied with a
cur dog, just 50 he was dog that would
bark. but today he will accept none unless
1t is a thoroughbred of some breed or other,
and for him to pay 500 for a Scotch collie
is common thing II is the same I'm the
diamond business The farmer is the man
who is buying the most expensive gems.
and when he comes I'm the first thing he
says is, I want the best. and Is willing to
pay the price. This lis the reason we are
placing our gems for sale in this way with
reliable jewelers. in the west We give
quality instead of quantity A good dia-
mond gem must bring at least $3.50 per
carat but there is as much difference be-
tween it and a poor diamond as between a
Scotch collie and a cur dog"

among them being some pigeon blood ru-
bies, which bear the mark of three times
the value of a diamond. A Sioux City
banker secured one at 1880 They have
never been sold in the west heretofore. On
account OF the extreme prices the local
dealers were afraid to handle them but
now the country is rich and prosperous
and the farmers are the chief purchasers
MANY DISSATISFIED.
Many jewelers. are dissatisfied with the
fact that one man, and one alone is TO
reap the whole harvest of the manufac-
tured stone. 1T is like the same old
story said one dealer. when one com
oany controls the output of any produc-
ton. and it should not be allowed" Dia-
mond Dick, who is well known here and
has many friends among dealers, makes
the statement that he himself must follow
the dictations of the manufacturer in
Paris and can give the agency to but one
dealer and bind him strictly to confne the
sale to parties who are proprietors of
business institutions only, because tho
wearer OF diamond determines the esti-
nation of the character Of the stone
