s45,oOO, Gem Cut Up

Until recently it never occurred to anybody to imagine that diamonds might be found so large as to be prac- tically useless, says Tit Bits, and there. fore requiring to be cut up into rela- lively small pieces in order to render them marketable. Nevertheless, this very thing has come to pass, and within the last few months the second biggest gem of this kind ever discovered has been deliberately chopped into frag- ments, the process reducing it's appar- ent value by at least f200,000, but mak- ing it salable. It's only superior in point of size, the greatest diamond ever known, valued at f9,000,000, is soon, it is announced, to meet a similar fate.
 The stone which has already been chopped up is the famous Excelsior dia- mond, which up to the year 1905 held rank as the biggest diamond ever found. Now the famous Premier diamond is to suffer a like fate. This stone, which was found at the Premier mine in the Transvaaf, weighs little over one puuuu ihEcc OhHCSs, anu ultdSuits fT2 inches in length, 21a inches in thick ness and F inches in breadth. It was sent to England by ordinary registered post, but was insured for f250,000 This sum, however, does not represent any thing like it's value, which, estimated by Tavernier s rule, is about f9,000,000.
 It is obvious that no private individ- ual would pay one-twentieth part of such a sum for any diamond, and iu these days governments are not squan dering money on crown jewels. Conse quently the problem of disposing of the gigantic gem, which still ramains in the hands of its original owners, is extreme ly puzzling. However, they have now decided to chop it into pieces, and thus the most remarkable of all mineral curiosities appears to be destined to speedy destruction. But whereas the Excelsio yielded ten cut stones of IA to 6S carats, the Premier, as it is called ought to afford several of the largest cut diamonds in existence, which to- gether would fetch at least f500,000

UPWARD TREND
 STILL CONTINUES
Local Market Quiet-Boston and New York Market Continues More and More Active-Advise Investments in Dividend Paying Coppers.
(By II. Fl. Bru Col

GLOBE, July 3.-The market was very active today and closed much stronger than for the past week. The crop outlook continues to improve and if these favorable conditions continue stocks will hold up around the present prices, otherwise there is not much to boost prices up until fall
 We would advise buying on any weak. ness all good dividend paying copper stocks, and would advise the sale of such such stocks as Trinity at the pres ent price. The favorite dividend pay ing copper stocks are Amalgamated, Anaconda, Copper Range, Calumet & Arizona, Mohawk and North Butte. These stocks should sell higher consid- ering the dividends paid on them. At a sl quarterly dividend Old Dominion, however, is selling around the right price, and looking at this stock from dividend standpoint it is not due for much of an advance.
 The local market was quiet today. The holiday has something to do with this.
