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.
1t is because no diamonds have pre-
yiously been found in America in dia-
mond-bearing earth that what few
have been found have been Migrants, y
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. 1t 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

who on finding that it cut watch
crystal like a glass cutter, advised him
to send it to Charles S. Stiff, Little
Rock jeweler recognized as an expert
on diamonds throughout the South
west.
Pronounced Real Diamonds.
The specimens were sent to Mr..
Stiff at Little Rock, to whom Mr.
Huddleston subsequently offered his
land for sale. Mr.. Stiff associated
with him, among others, Albert D.
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 Arnslein Bros. Co., 65 Nassau
street, New York, well known dia-
mond importers and experts, with the
request that they wire as to the prob
able source of their origin. 1t 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.
1t is therefore significant and
important to note the reply of Arm
stein Bros. & Co. They wired that the

called to the fact that the geological

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-
tied 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, max
ing II in all. After a careful investi-
cation covering several weeks, DR..
Washington gave it as his opinion
that the company had included all
of the Acknowledging 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 suff1-

Dr.. George F. kunz Visits Pike County.
Not half a dozen people in the state
knew that an unassuming gentleman,
who in company with Messrs. Rey-
burn, Stiff 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

One of the first persons he approach

whose name, Riley, was closely akin
to the South African O'Reilly who fig

Percentages Rival Kimberly.
1t 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 3S of 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 Is per cent of all dia-
monds mined are marketable as gems,
the remaining So per cent being used
as melee and for mechanical purposes,
including diamond cutting and polish
ing. OF the 140 diamonds or more
found in Pike county, it is claimed that
65 per cent are above the average OF
marketable gems, and the remaining
50 per cent. although small and off

diamond field this overflow strata has
been found outside of the company's
holdings, and it has been very thor
oughly searched and even shafts have
been sunk. but no diamonds have

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
Woodruff County news. [volume] (McCrory, Ark.) 1901-1910, 1907-08-15

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 Com
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 Mr.. Reyburn was on the
ground closing up contracts for the
purchase of the land, the third dia-
mond was picked up. 1t is illustrated
as No. II in the chart and is very
beautiful canary diamond.
Having now invested considerable
money in the enterprise and being
fully committed to a full investiga-
ton it was decided to secure the
ablest mineralogist and geologist
obtainable, to which purpose Messrs.
Stiff and Reyburn went to New York,
where they consulted DR.. George Fred
erick Kunz, and on his recommends
ton the services of DR.. 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.
Dr. 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 20 other places where
diamonds had been found in small
Woodruff County news. [volume] (McCrory, Ark.) 1901-1910, 1907-08-15

monds are formed by the crystalliza-
ton 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
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
berly mine gives an idea of the tube
or crater in which the diamonds are
found. 1t will be noticed that at the
surface the crater shores outward in
all directions.
In the original upheayal a number
of diamonds were forced to or nearly
to the surface of the pipe, and it was
these surface stones which were first
found by Mr.. 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 its
use was verified the existence of the
crater and its 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
pan-washing Though as yet only the
crudest method of working has been
pursued.
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 1872
carats, an absolutely f1awless blue
white gem.
John Peay of Little Rock had SINH
lar good luck. While overseeing his
men he picked up at his feet a superb
canary diamond weighing l IL carats,
absolutely flawless and so perfect in
shape that little cutting will be
required to make of it marketable
gem.
A workman, working with pick
tearing up the ground a foot below the
surface, caught a CLINT of light and
brought to light 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.
1t was photographed, and small sec
ton of the original negative is here

OIL AND GAS FOR MEXICO.

DenUdin& of Forests Causes DiaZ to
Grant Concessions.
Gradually Mexico is becoming Ameri-
dent Diaz. For years gas was not al
lowed to be manufactured in the re-
public. A few years ago small plant
was installed in Merida, the capital Of
Yucatan. Because the MeXicans con
sidered gas dangerous it was imposs-
bic to get q concession to manufacture
it, Another reason was the great scar
city of fuel. 1t has caused the govern
ment much worry.
Wood for domestic purposes is sold
In the City of Mexico by "stick" and
the forests of any extent are hundreds
of miles distant from the capital. The
universal mat trial for domestic con-
sumption is charcoal and the manufac-
ture of the product is rapidly denuding
the forests which exist within a rea-
sonable radius Of the City of Mexico.
1t was to preserve these forests and
solve the fuel question that President
erection of gas plants all over the re-
public So high has the price of wood
been within late years that a short
time ago the railroads found it profit
able to import their ties from Japan.
1t is proposed now to build an oil
pipe line from the recently discovered
wells Of the gulf coast, near Tampico,
to the City of Mexico, an immense I'M
dertaking, for the liquid will have to be
raised from the sea level to height of
over 1000 feet, from where it will be
distributed to various towns and cities
on the plateau.
The men to whom have been granted
the concession have issued instructions
to commence the installation of gas
plant to supply the City of Mexico and
the suburban towns of Tacabyua, Mix
coac, San Angel, Cherubusco, Tacuba,
Atzacapotzalco, Coyoacan and Tlal-
pam.
The contract is made under the law
of new industries between the exec
utive of the new republic and Edward
Doheny. Charles \. Garfield and Nor
man Bridge, which grants to these men
concession to erect and operate in
any city or town within the republic
of Mexico gas plants for the nlanufat-
ture and distribution of crude oil gas.
Incredible as it may seem, there is
not in the City of Mexico with nearly
100000 people single bit Of gas burn

known as the electric city, for it is one
of the most brilliantly lighted munich
