Quest FOR DIAMONDS
MAY Be SUCCESSFUL
Baokers Of the xenia Expedition
Declare that Find" Has
Been Made.

London, Nov. 10.-Even tho the gov
eminent sent warship to prevent the
unlucky expedition Of the Xema from
landing on the islands off the coast Of
South Africa that are said to contain
diamonds, the Coils syndicate declares
that q find Of diamonds has been
made as a result Of the expedition.
The Xema is now some distance on
Its way home, but the prospects of get
ting IN on the ground floor in q ven
ture that promises much considerably
cheered up the stockholders at their
recent meeting to discuss future plans.
The Xema was sent to South Africa
some months ago by the Coils diamond
syndicate for the purpose of visiting
some islands off the coast that were
believed to contain diamonds. Mr..
Griffith was the expert of the syndi-
cate in South Africa, and when DR..
Jameson refused permission for the
Xema to land he began looking around
for other opportunities to procure the
precious stones.
ment at the stockholders meeting that
more than $4,000 had been expended
on the Xema expedition, Sir Alexander
Muir-Mackenzie told Of the "find"
made by their agent.
Last week, at Capetown, Mr.. Grit
fifth was offered some diamondiferous
farms near proved mine, and he ca
bled to Mr.. Kenyon-Collis to ask him
to join the venture. Mr.. Kenyon Coils
Immediately replied that he would
finance him, and it is his intention to
register syndicate to deal with this
enterprise on the same basis as that
upon which the Coils diamond syndi-
Only a small sum would have to be
subscribed: Mr.. Kenyon-Colli had in
timated his readiness to give the ex-
listing shareholders the prior right to
come into his venture, and to subscribe
the shares. pro rata on their present
holdings. Further, he had undertaken
to hand over 1000 Of the shares free
of charge for the benefit Of the share
holders.
In conclusion, Sir Alexander said that
no doubt the trip Of the Xema had
been "a bit Of gamble,' but they
had acted thruout honestly and squarely.

EXPOSITION TO JOIN
SHORES OF PACIFIC
Alaska Yukon Pacific Show to
Show Oriental Trade Pos >.
s sibilities. 49,.

Seattle, WASH, Nov. 10.-Henry E.
Reed, director Of exploitation Of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, de-
clares that oriental trade and it's pos
sibilities will be one of the object les
sons of the exposition. In an article
dealing with the possibilities for the
growth Of this trade, Mr.. Reed says:
"1n the exposition of 1909 the two
shores Of the Pacific ocean will be
brought together, commercially, for the
first time in history, and the placing of
working basis cannot fail to be one of
the substantial results of the meeting.
Much has been written about ORR
entail trade in the last half dozen years,
but few persons have any definite idea
Of what it is, actually or prospectively.
To those to whom distance lends en-
chantment to the scene, the orient, from
the time of Marco Polo, has been the
realm of splendor, whose people are
to buy and sell all commodities known
to man. At closer range, the view dis
closes more than one-half the popula-
tion Of the globe. some of whom are the
favored of fortune, while the vast ma
jority are limited in purchasing power,
and therefore subsist on the barest
necessities. %Ea w.. 80
,:T"What the United States govern
ment, in its reports on commercial rela-
tions, treats as Asia and Oceanica, com
prises nearly 100000 square miles
and has population of about 100000
900. According to the latest available
statistics, it does gross foreign trade
of $2,450,000,00 a year, as compared
with $2,412,0O0, for the United
States and 81, 400, 100000 for the United
Kingdom.
"T The. United States, with less than
one-tenth Of the population of Asia and
Oceanica, has an equal amount Of for
eign trade. The United Kingdom, with
less than one-twentieth Of the popula-
