THE WEALTH
OF AMERICA
RICHEST OF ALL
Every Record in History OF
the World for Accumula-
ton of Riches is Broken
Over One Hundred Billion

Chicago. Jan. l6.-(speclial)-A
dispatch to the Tribune from Wash
ington says:
THE United States is the wealth
lest nation in the world" said a close
friend Of President Roosevelt's yes
terday. who has just gone over re-
markable report. which is soon TO be
made public He added:
"In a brief spnn of young life this
Infant nation has broken all records
relating to the accumulation of riches
We are beginning to think in billion
instead OF millions. Take II any way
you like our afluence outstrips any
thing of the kind ever known before.
"Our country has more actual
money. more gold, a larger volume of
exports greater banking facilities
richer farms. more productive mines,
more railroads, more internal COM
merce. more millionalres. more we'll
to-do tradesmen. more independent
farmers, more highly paid laborers
and a greater distribution Of luxurles
than any other has enjoyed since
time began.
"To say that the total valuation of
the wealth of the United States is
S107, 900, 100000 is not understand
able. as a hundred billion dollars is
such a pile of money that the mind
simply cannot grasp its meaning on
the instant.
Probably the best way of illus
trating the actual extent of Uncle
Sans riches is to state If he could
convert all the assets into money he
would have nearly four times as much
as is required to pay OF the entire
national debt OF all the governments
OF the world. including his own. Last
year there was more than $25.000.-
900 in excess of expenditures"

A guest came in from the street,

fully and placed It over the back of a
chair and then sat on it. producing a
newspaper and soon becoming alb.
sorbed in its contents. Before long a
stranger tapped him on the shoulder
and politely asked II he wouil please
get up and let him have tho overcoat
he was sitting on. The guest obliglng-
ly arose and handed his own coat to
the stranger and then seating himself
again continued to read the paper.
Suddenly 1t dawned upon him that he
had made a fool of himself He be-
came excited, and rushing over to the
desk told the clerk the circumstances
of the robbery.
The clerk listened patiently and
then quietly said: "I'll tell you what
to do. You go back and sit where you
were and walt; then when the rascal
comes and asks for your shoes you
can nab him. m."-Short Stories.

THE OLDEST DIAMOND FieLDs.
kohinoor Probably Came from Them
About $50 Years Ago.

In a recent report OF the geological
survey of India there is an interesting
account of the Parma diamond fields
of central India. Historically this
country Is believed to be the original
home OF the diamond and from them
it is supposed that the famous Kohl
moor was extracted some three and a
half centuries ago. the earliest dia
monds dating some 25 years previous
ly.
OF late years India has quite re
tired from the field as a precious stone
producer to any extent or value, but
from the account given It should be
worth the while of a small syndicate
to take up these diamond fields, says
the Pioneer. and work them systemati-
caily. though 1t is said that neither in
luster nor price do the stones found
compare with the yield of the South
African fields.
The methods. however. now in
vogue mean merely superficial treat
ment. following the lines which have
been In vogue for centuries. with the
probable result that the strata con
tanning the most valuable deposits of
stones are not reached. From a geo
logical point of view there are said to
be diamond bearing conglomerates
over several areas, which would ad-
nit Of deep shaft sinking. and sys-
tematic mining under competent con-
troll being carried on profitably.

Application Of Fredericksburg

Rumors that the Goulds were en-

terdaH when q dispatch from Fred
ericksburg was printed III The Times
Dispatch announcing that tic Fred
ercKsburg and Southern Railway would
apply to the State Corporation Com
mission for charter. Formal appli-
cation for the charter was made dur
ing the day. The line proposed is from
fredericksburg to boswell. The capt.
tai stock is placed al from $1,000 to
$4,000.
The statement that the Richmond.
and Potomac would re-
sist the granting of the charter was
the most interesting fact hearing on
the talk OF through line between
Richmond and Washington. There is
n State law to prohibit the building of
road paralleling the Richmond, FRED
ericksburg and Potomac. Some weeks
ago the surveying corps at work be.
yond Ashland. the present terminus
of the Richmond and chesapeake Bay
Line, were ordered by Frank Jay
Gould to suspend operations.
The general Idea yesterday was that
the Goulds would build number of
short roads north of this city, and
thus connect with the Wabash. The
question as to how they could reach
Norfolk seemed to shatter the dream
of u generation.
