Consequently, the million dollar esti-
mate is an under, rather than an over,

Although the wild crop is still inn

ARKANSAS DIAMOND FIELDS.
Greatest Expert in America Has
High Hopes for It.

Greatest Expert in America Has
High Hopes for It.
George f. Kunz, who is the highest
authority on precious stones in the
country, and perhaps in any other
country, has just returned to Chicago
from visit to Murfreesboro, Pike
County, Ark, to exLmine the spot
where some diamonds We're found not
long ago. He says they are the real
thing, and that the geological condi-
lions are almost precisely those which
occur in the neighborhood of the Kim
berley diamond mines, South Africa.
This is the first time diamonds
have ever been found in their natural
matriX on the American continent and
| consider it very important" said Mr..
kunz. The soil and surroundings
are similar to those in South Africa
The spot where they were found is
beyond question the crater of an eX-
tinct volcano, ana it is filled with blue
earth similar to that of Kimberley. 1t
will take further investigation to show
whether there are enough diamonds to
make it pay to work the deposit, and
whether the cost Of working will per-
nit of a profit. These questions can
be decided within a few months, and
if they can be decided in the affirma-
tive, it is one of the best things l have
ever struck.
while most of the diamonds have
been picked up on the surface of the
igneOus area, few have been found
AMONG concentrates derived from wash
ing the decomposed peridotite which
must resembles that of Kimberley, and
at least one diamond was found en-
bedded in the decomposed peridotite
itself. The evidence seems conclusive
that the crystals are derived from the
peridotite. and if so, this is the first
occurrence of diamonds in place on
either the North or South American
continent.
Diamonds have been found loose in
glacial deposits in about thirty places
in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio
and other States, but never before in
natural conditions. This diamond dis
covery in Arkansas was originally
made by farmer named John Hud-
dlestone. Because the ground was
green, he thought there might be cop
per under it. and while prospecting
around found one crystal and later
two others. Since then fifteen or
twenty of the natives have picked up
diamonds"

Returning Immigrants.

Europe in Sad Straits with Horde of
Returning Immigrants.
1t is a curious commentary on the
economic conditions of the old world
that the turn in the tide of American
immigration is causing serious trouble
in Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden
and Norway. If the industrial condi-
tons of the United States of America
threaten to be bad, they are infinitely
worse in the countries named. Italy
complains the loudest because the sit
uation there is the most serious. Her
returning hordes do not bring Sulfi
cient money to support them more than
a few weeks at most, while many land
practically penniless. The authorities
there confess themselves unable to deal
with the problem
The Germans, however, are much
better provided with money on an av
erage than the Italians. Business con.
ditions in Sweden and Norway are sc
bad this unexpected influx is truly ap
palling and much distress is inevitable
in the severe northern winter
