NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The sand and gravel digging machine be-
longing to John Miller & Co. Of this city
has been digging sand and gravel at Goose
Egg Island, opposite Alexandria, for the
past two weeks. and 1t ia stated that a su-
perior quality Of gravel has been found
there. but that the sand supply is limited.
Several scows. partially loaded with gravel.
have been brought across the fats at high
water and towed to this city by the tug
Martin Dallman. but the machine cannot
work on full time. as the shoal water on the
flats Will not allow full-loaded scows to
cross. even at the height Of the tides. 1t is
stated that the Miller company will put one
Of its dredges to work digging a channel
across the flats deep enough to allow the
loaded scows to come out on all stages Of
the tide. but until such is done the exca-
waited material Is being handled with diff

Adelaide started across the fats with half
loaded lighter but 1t went aground and re-
NAMED hard and fast for three or four
days.

Of the District fireboat caused the seams to
open somewhat and there was danger Of the
water from rains and the cleaning up Of
the boat running through the cracks upon

prevent that a force of calkers has been
busy for the past two or three days calk

ARKANsAs DIAMOND FIELD.
George Kunz Says He Believes It
Genuine.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 3.-Unless all ex-
pectations fail Americans may soon be
wearing diamonds found on American, not
English. soil. This statement is made on
the authority of DR.. George F. Kunz. prob
ably the foremost authority On diamonds in
the country. He has just returned from
a careful two months investigation OF the
new field. which Is situated in Pike county
in southwestern Arkansas.
Only when 1t Is stated that there Is no
other locality In the United States where
diamonds found in place can the
great Importance of this discovery be
understood. In short. the new region Is the
first real American diamond field to be dis
covered. Its 800 acres are owned by
Arkansas men.
Every chance of discovering a new dia-
mond field Is so eagerly accepted by experts
that this eagerness has given rise to all
sorts of attempts to mslead them by salt
ing schemes. A succession of disappoint
ments Of this sort had made diamond men
wary, so that when II became known last
summer that diamonds had been found in
Arkansas the matter was carefully investi-
gated.
DR.. Kunz accompanied by Dr. H. s.
Washington. the well-known photographer.
visited the region and made careful sur
vey Of the field. Within the last few years
Dr. Kunz has followed UP every discovery
Of a diamond In the United States with the
hope that a new region worth while would
be found. Discoveries in Wisconsin. Michl-
gan. Indiana and Ohio were investigated.
and In every case 1t was ascertained that
the occurrence Of the stone was unusual
and its discovery was explained by the
fact that II was in the glacial moraine and
had been carried down from some other
field in Canada.
The Pike county heId Ia seyeral hund red
mites south OF the southern line of the
glacial moraine. so the possibility of the
occurrence being of the same nature as
those farther north was at once dismissed
DIR. Kunz said today that he was flIllv sat
isfed that an American diamond field had
at length been discovered. ;

Best Color Tor Warships.
The Navy Department has decided to
make further inquiries into the problem Of
invisibilty Of torpedo boats and destroyers.
The subject has come up periodically.
Green. the present color. has been pro-
nounced as not altogether suited to the
purpose Of rendering the torpedo boats
and destroyera as incOnspcuous as Ia de-
sired. Some officers think other colors
would serve the purpose more effectively.
Two boats Of the torpedo boat fiotilla are
to be set apart for experiments. They will
be painted in different colors in succession
in order that comparison may be made be-
tween the various shades. Conservative
naval Views adhere to the opinion that, the
color best adapted for warships Is drab, as
used during the Spanish war.

regulate and equaIize the pay and allow

outcome of conference in Washington OF
the acting heads Of the War. Navy ana

that the recommendations submitted TO

of increase-1O per cent in the case Of gen.
eral and field officers. 8 per cent IN the
case Of captains and all juniors, lncluoins
CADETS midshipmen and warrant officers,
and 30 per cent In the case of enlisted men,
An important feature Is that which pro-

it may be regulated by executive order ana

Report on Submarines.
The report Of the submarine board. OF
which Capt. Mark was chairman. and
which conducted the tests Of boats at New

of the Navy. in his instructions to the
board asked that 1t express an opinion
based upon its findings of the relative
merits Of the boats submitted In competi-
DSe~AA
TT is the Unanimous opinion Of this board
that the Octopus is the superior boat pre-
scented for these tests. and. therefore. that
she IL equal to the best boat now owned by
the United States or under contract. The
board Is also of-the opinion that boat
generally similar to the Octopus. but
larger. would be a superior naval weapon
Th, board also submitted the following
opinion:
sented by the Lake Is. in the opinion OF the
board inferior to the type as represented
by the Octopus.
The board Is OF the opinion that the
tests Of the subsurface boat model did not
develop that boats Of this type built OF
size suitable to render their qualities avail
able are equal to the best torpedo boats
now owned by the government"
Capt. Mark filed a minority review re-
speeding the matter of the subsurface boat,
in which he said: In my opinion the small
est size Of subsurface boat proposed by the
company In their additional bids. fitted with
a regular torpedo tube and able to make
a speed Of fifteen knots. would be weapon
of great value. additional to any now
owned by the government. and this value
would be enhanced by the rapidity with
which they could be constructed and the
ease with which they could be trans
ported"
