What Is If?

MT. G. A. Dye, living six miles northwest of Prescott, brought to town today what one would naturally have supposed tC be a crystallized rock, but upon giving a test, caused the belief that it might be something else-maybe diamond.
 k. A. Short, the jeweler, put a diamond file on the stone, and it ground thefile smooth, indicating that in point of hardness it poss- essed the elements of diamond. And its shape, the way it had broken and many other features proved that it wasn't glass, and might be something more than crystallized rock.
