quantities, mostly single stones, but in each case they were of glacial deposit, as explained heretofore. He was not therefore deeply impressed at that time with the finding of three diamonds unless further investigation should show that they were found in the blue diamond-bearing clay, depos- ited by volcanic action-which later proved to be the case.
 Dr. Washington visited the Huddle- ston place, but in the meantime IS other diamonds had been found, mak- ing Fl in all. After careful investi- gation covering several weeks, Dr. Washington gave it as his opinion that the company had included all of the diamond-bearing area in their purchases, and whatever was found outside of that area might be called parasitical, and there could not be enough in sight to pay to develop. His report was exhaustive and suffi- ciently encouraging to induce the purchasers to continue the work.
 pr. George F. kunz Visits Pike County. Not half a dozen people in the state knew that an unassuming gentleman, who in company with Messrs. Key burn, Stifft and Cohn, visited the Hud- dleston place last January was the celebrated scientist Dr. George F. Kunz. The few who did know did not mention the fact. But the continued finding of surface diamonds disposed of the theory that they were glacial, and Dr. Kunz was induced to make the jour- ney from New York to Pike county. After a personal investigation he wired

strata was similar to the South Afri- can mines formation and it is import ant that the output of the Pike county field should so strongly resemble the South African product as to be classed with it by an expert.
 The stones were also submitted to the diamond experts of the well-known firms of Mermod, Jaccard & King Con- pany and Bolland & Sons of St. Louis and were promptly pronounced to be genuine diamonds without the experts being told anything of their origin or history.
 Third Diamond Found.
 While MT. Reyburn was on the ground closing up contracts for the purchase of the land, the third dia- mond was picked up. It is illustrated as No. 12 in the chart and is a very beautiful canary diamond.
 Having now invested considerable money in the enterprise and being fully committed to full investiga- tion it was decided to secure the ablest mineralogist and geologist obtainable, to which purpose Messrs. Stifft and Reyburn went to New York, where they consulted Dr. George Fred erick Kunz, and on his recommends tion the services of pr. Henry s. Washington of New York were secured. He was familiar with that section, having visited Magnet Cove in 1900 and written two books on the remarkable geological strata found there, which is all paleozoic.
 pr. Kunz Pronounces Them Genuine.
 Dr. Kunz was very much interested in the find and pronounced the three stones submitted to him to be unques- tionably genuine diamonds of fine quality, but he showed his visitors a map locating 29 other places where ] diamonds had been found in small

further fact that nowhere else in America, at any time have diamonds been found in quantities in any one given area, according to books on the subject.
 It is because no diamonds have pre- viously been found in America in dia- mond- bearing earth that what few have been found have been "vagrants, " single stones, or possibly two near together, that have been washed down hundreds or thousands of miles, per haps, from their original sites.
 In the years following the gold excitement of 1S49 in California total of approximately 200 diamonds were found throughout the state. It must be remembered, however, that pros pectors by the thousands were picking the state and these 200 or so were scat tered over the state where thousands of claims were being worked. In no case was more than one or two unearthed in any one locality, and all the further picking, digging and shaft sinking from that day to this uncovered no more. so that what were found were clearly vagrants far away from home.

who on finding that it cut a watch crystal like glass cutter, advised him to send it to Charles s. Stifft, Little Rock jeweler recognized as an expert on diamonds throughout the South west.
 Pronounced Real Diamonds.
 The specimens were sent to MT. Stifft at Little Rock, 10 whom MT. Huddleston subsequently, offered his land for sale. MT. Stifft associated with him, among others, Albert b. Cohn of the M M. Cohn Company and Sam w. Reyburn, president of the Union Trust Company, both of Little Rock, and they and their associates have assembled the lands on which all of the diamonds have been found. The stones were sent to the firm of Arnstein Bros. O., 65 Nassau street, New York, we'll known dia- mond importers and experts, with the request that they wire as to the prob able source of their origin. It should be explained here that diamonds from | different localities have certain charac- teristics by which experts can recog- nize their origin-thus the Brazilian diamond can be told at glance from a Kimberly mine stone, and Kim berly can be differentiated from Pre-. mier mine.
 It is therefore significant and important to note the reply of Arn- stein Bros. & Co. They wired that the stones resembled those from Vaal riv- CT or Wessolton-both South African mines. Attention has already been called to the fact that the geological

Perfect blue diamond picked up by Col. Theodore Hartman of Little Rock, and weigh ing 1-4X132 carats.
 The distinguishing characteristics of the South African mines geological strata are the peridolites and breccia Or blue clay-both of volcanic origin and only in such strata are diamonds found-the breccia having been called "the birthplace of the diamond" The important feature of the Huddleston place is that the strata is volcanic and has the self-same peridolites and breccia-according to Branners reports-the true diamond-bearing earth or clay, the like of which has not been discovered elsewhere in America.
 The volcanic action has already been described and by mighty convulsion of nature, a way having been forced through solid rock from a vast depth and the pressure thus relieved no other vent in the immediate neigh borhood is required, nor, it is said, are two such pipes" in very close proximity known to exist.
 Nevertheless the overflow of this volcano lava has the same general appearance as the diamond-bearing strata. The overflow is always in evil dence. It is expected to appear in proximity to the crater, but outside of the very immediate proximity it is

monds are formed by the crystalliza- tion of carbon and they are brought from far below the surface of the earth by volcanic action. By this explosion or upheaval tube or chimney is 1 forced through the solid rock and the diamonds are found in the blue clay which is then deposited. The illus tration showing a sketch of the Kim 1 berly mine gives an idea of the tube
 or crater in which the diamonds are found. It will be noticed that at the surface the crater shores outward in all directions.
 In the original upheaval number
 of diamonds were forced to or nearly to the surface of the pipe, and it was l these surface stones which were first 1 found by MT. Huddleston and others
 in Pike county. They were freed from the mother earth by the erosion of the
 blue clay by exposure to the elements | for hundreds or thousands of years. A core drill was put in and by it's
 use was verified the existence of the
 crater and it's dimensions. Diamonds
 to the number of 40 have been
 already found even with the made
 quate machinery. Most of these have
 been found on or near the surface,
 and three or four have been found by

 Managers Big Find. When work was systematically begun Col Theodore Hartman of Lit tie Rock was selected as manager, and he went down to devise an economical means of preliminary mining and developing. He personally made the
 best find up to that date. He picked up stone (see illustration marked No. 45) which weighed 4 IA plus 1-32 carats, an absolutely flawless blue
 white gem.
 John Peay of Little Rock had simi- | lar good luck. While overseeing his
 men he picked up at his feet a superb
 canary diamond weighing 1 1-2 carats,
 absolutely f1awless and so perfect in shape that little cutting will be
 required to make of it a marketable
 gem.
 l A workman, working with pick tearing up the ground foot below the
 surface, caught a glint of light and
 brought to light a diamond, weight
 unknown, but between three and four <, carats, which was allowed to remain in it's native matrix, the diamond bearing rock, where it still is as con-
 vincing proof of it's place of origin.
 It was photographed, and small sec
 tion of the original negative is here reproduced.

Percentages Rival Kimberly.
 It has been said that if you want to find diamonds you must look for them This is exemplified in the Kimberly mines from which the average out put is less than 3-8 of a carat of dia. mond to ton of earth. The remark able feature of the Pike county finds up to date, however, as compared with the South African mines is in the larger percentages of marketable gems
 In the DeBeers and Premier mines, it is stated only 15 per cent of all dia- monds mined are marketable as gems, the remaining 85 per cent being used as melee and for mechanical purposes, including diamond cutting and polish ing. Of the 40 diamonds or more found in Pike county, it is claimed that 65 per cent are above the average of marketable gems, and the remaining 35 per cent. although small and off

never known to bear diamonds in pay ing quantities if any. In the Pike county diamond field this overflow strata has been found outside of the companys holdings, and it has been very thor oughly searched and even shafts have been sunk. but no diamonds have been .,ound to reward or encourage the searchers.
 Wonderful Richness of the Find,
 Gardner F. Williams, general mana ger of the DeBeers Consolidated Mines, who wrote "The Diamond Mines of South Africa" probably the most exhaustive and accurate work on the subject ever published, says in that book that, in the process of min ing, the blue earth was brought out and scattered over the fields foot deep, to be exposed to the action of the sun for the purpose of disinte- grating the hard clay, that being the

 One of the first persons he approach ed was the cashier of local bank, whose name, Riley, was closely akin to the South African O'Reilly who fig ured in the sale of the first diamond found there. MT. Riley said he did not know what it was, but offered to risk 50 cents on it. MT. Huddleston didn't know what it was either, but ratt.1Ss rat.1zs than take 50 cents for it he would pull verize it. Eventually he showed it to Judge J. c. Pinnix of Murfreesboro,

British Racial Efficacy.

After you have complained that the Englishman grabs the earth, you re- member that he holds it. and after watching his portentious swallow you remember his wonderful power of di. gestion. If he takes more than his share of the world, he has the talent to keep more than his share. The talent may not be an ethical merit, but it is proof of racial ef1icacy.-Sidnex (AuStralia) Book Fellow.

New Idea of Gentlemen.

A new definition of gentleman was given at the Lymington (England) county court recently, when the regis trar asked: What is the defendant?" "He's gentleman" replied the plain tiff.

The narrlster in Englnn.

The barrister in England is the very salt of the earth. He it is who makes the laws, who goes into parliament, who sits on the bench, who considers himself seven or eight degrees higher up in the social scale than any other poor middle-class mortal; and with all this he has absolutely no responsibility toward his clients. That ancient, much abused thing called custom in this country has created for the law two separate and distinct limbs, which may be compared in a measure to the life of the bee One is the drone and the other the queen. The drone is the solicitor, who sits in an office working up a case, consulting clients, drawing wills, controlling estate transactions and controlling the incomes of people who are unfortunate enough to be sad dled under trust deeds. The solicitor. who has his own traditions to work 1 oGt, does not ever get to himself any glory whatever. Except in police and county court cases, he is persona non grata, or, in the words of the judges. He is not seen" If he has a case on hand for trial, he is obliged to take it to barrister, who, though he may never have heard Of the matter in dis pute before, dons his wig and gown, proceeds into court and argues tin all is black and blue, as if he knew all about It; for which he draws most prodigious fee, quite big enough to en- able him to appear nicely mounted in the Row every morning. If he spells 1 the case, there is no chance for re- dress, because the barrister is merely q gentleman whom fiction politely as- sumes to be a friend in need. All the onus of failure falls, upon the poor l solicitor There are no harristers in prison. but there are a good many so- licitors who wear the broad arrow
 which is the trademark of his maies-
 tvs prisons. The solicitor remains
 the old-time family adviser, to whom
 all sorts of foolish people bring their
 trust deeds, their stock certificates,
 their government bonds and all such- l like documents which have a tendency to lead weak man into temptation:
 and that is why so many solicitors
 when they need money, find it impos,
 sible to resist the desire to take that
 which is not theirs.-London Letter iu Town and Country.
