KENTUCKY DIAMONDS
May Yet be on the Market---SOuth
Africa Experts Declare Pros
pect Very Favorable.

Charleston, w. Va, March 1S.-"We
will be washing out diamonds equal
to any of the South African product
within thirty days. In sixty days this
will be the most talked-of place in
the world"
So spoke City Engineer John San
born, as he described a tract of
ground thirty-five miles from Hunt
ington, which, he says, will develop
the richest diamond field in the world
The new Acknowledging outcrop
of mineral and earthly formation lies
in Elliott county, Kentucky, a short
distance across the West Virginia
line. Here is the crater, apparently,
of an extinct volcano.
The mineral, Kimberlite, found in
what is called a pipe, is identical
with that mined in the Transvaal.
Already on the surface have been
found the following gems: Garnets of
the variety known as pyrope; limhitz,
jet black in color, and usually found
in two-karat size; Divine, rich green
in color, which takes a fine polish,
and is used for jewelry.
Besides these there have been
found dfopside, being emerald In COL
or, and mica, and several other kinds
of lesser gems.
General Samuel Pearson. who late
ly arrived from South Africa, after
looking over the ground stated that
he was certain diamonds would be
found in the crater of the extinct vol
cano. The deposit is exactly the
same.
David Draper, geologist, from job
annesburg, Transvaal, examined the
group and made the statement that
never before had he seen the geologic
formation, save in South Africa, and
chat judicious working would make
the property worth $5O,O00,0O0.

BRYAN'S PREDICTION.
The Democratic Slogan in Next
Presidential Fight will be Pro-
lection for Small Investors.

Boston, March 15.-William Jen-
nings Bryan was the guest to-day of
the Democratic State Committee of
Massachusetts, and at a banquet this
afternoon delivered an address. in
which he touched upon various points
of Democratic doctrine which, he de-
clared, had been vindicated by recent
events.
The dinner followed a reception, at
which some 200 Democrats were intro
duced to Mr.. Bryan. who was given a
great demonstration, all those pres
ent standing and cheering repeatedly.
State Democratic Chairman Feeney in
PRODUCED him as THE foremost fig
ure in American craftsmanship" and
expressed his doubt if any office
which Mr.. Bryan might hold would
make him any dearer to the American
people.
II think" asserted Mr.. Bryan, that
if we had had a vote unpurchased
and unintimidated in 1896 | would
have been elected by an overwhel-
ming majority. We had against us
The largest corporation fund that was
ever used in a campaign.
mo one rejoices more than in the
vindication that has come to Demo-
cratic ideas, and | rejoice so much
that ] never lose an opportunity to
thank the President for what he has
done. / want no man in the COM
munity to anticipate me in hearty
commentator of anything he does
that | believe is right. / do not
know what the Presidents attitude
will be in the coming campaign, but
it is certain that he cannot take back
what he has said about our ideas. Ten
years ago they called our ideas insan-
ity, yet on no question that We ever
discussed have we been more vindi-
Gated than on our idea that more
money would make higher prices and
better times"
Mr.. Bryan charged that the slump
in stocks was caused by the very
men who are now complaining.
IF l may venture a prediction" he
added, 81 would say that in the fight
that's coming the Democratic party
will be looked upon as the protector
of tha email invasion against the
sharks that have obtained power in
Wall Street."
Mr.. Bryan was given a second ova-
ton when he concluded his address.

The Good Roads Question.

An expert statistician has figured
that bad roads cost the people of the
United States $5OO,00O,OOO annually.
If this is true it is high time the ques
ton receive proper attention. For
many years men have been agitating
the better building of roads, but even
those who would be most benefited
thereby have been prone to dub these
agitators "cranks." But the agita-
ton received a great impetus with the
advent of the bicycle and when the au-
tomobile came, additional energy was
generated. But the farmers, the ones
most interested from financial view
point, have been slow to join the
crusade. 1t is estimated by men of
experience in road building that a
macadamized roadway, eighteen feet
wide, may be built for an average cost
of $4,000 per mile the country over.
This presents a good opportunity for
some comparative figures. The coun-
try loses $5O0,000,000 a year because
of bad roads. In round numbers $780,
100000 has been appropriated for the
army and navy. At $4,000 mile the
money appropriated for the military
army of the government would build
