DIAMONDS IN
ALASKAN HILLS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-That
diamonds exist in the many volcanic
hills in Southwestern Alaska is the
firm belief of biologists, who now are
engaged in a hunt for the precious
stones. All the conditions necessary
for the growth of the diamond-heat,
enormous pressure and carbon-are to
be found in this vicinity.
In the early eighties several small
diamonds were found by Indians. Re-
peated questioning as to where the
stones were found brought out the
answer, ITO the west, where the smok-
ing mountains are" The finding OF
the stones did not create any excite
ment at the time, as the residents OF
the town were busy hunting for the
famous Lost Lake of gold, supposed tc
be situated in the hills behind Sitka
Now the hunt for the precious stone;
is on in earnest, and the large diamond
merchants of eastern Canada ar
known to have men in the mountains
prospecting for diamonds.
While with the exception of few
diamonds found by the Indians man!
years ago no diamonds have beef
found in Alaska, biologists are Of thu
| opinion that the volcanic hills o
Southwestern Alaska contain ola
monds. Geological conditions are tn
same in Southwestern Alaska as Il
the principal diamond fields Of tn
world. and persons who have investi
gated conditions there are firm in tn
belief that Alaska will soon be
producer OF diamonds in addition
gold.

Travels Far to See Her Son.

Totering on the brink of the grave.
Mrs. Ellen Griniths, eighty-fve years
old, travelled from Brazil, Iowa, to
Eaton, Colorado, that she might once
more see her son and for the first time
in her life hug her grandchildren be-
fore she died.
It has been more than twenty years
since the aged mother had seen her
boy, and when he met her at the sta
ton in Eaton she could scarcely rec
ognize him. She knew the voice, but
he had so changed in face and figure
that 1t was some minutes before she
became convinced that he was not
stranger.
Thomas Lawton, n well-to.do farmer
living near Eaton, is the son, and he
paid his mothers passage from Brazil.
He met her at the station and quickly
took her to his home.
Last evening there was celebra-
ton in the Lawton family when the
aged woman gathered her grandchil-
dren about her and was moved to tears
of 10y, her wish having been fulfilled
afterwhat was to her the most perilous
journey of her life.
All day yesterday Mrs. Grifiths
waited in the Union station in Denver
for a train to Eaton. She arrived on
the 1880 Burlington In the morning and
1t was p. m. before she left. During
her stay at the depot she was in care
of the matron, and her appearance ex-
cited considerable interest and curl.

PENETRATES A CAVE

WORCHESTER. Mass, October %
The honor of being the first person
to penetrate the famed mysterious
cave in the township of Sutton, near
here, belongs to Miss Lucia b. Thomp-
son, mountain climber of San Fran
cisco. For the first time the cave
was explored beyond the entrance
by Miss Thompson to-day. She had
made two previous attempts at ex-
ploration, but never got further than
the iced walls of the two inner cham
bers. The last attempt was made in
August.
Since then she has talked with a
hermit who lives within mile of the
dismal wood surrounding the cave,
and learned from him many Indian
legends regarding it, which led her
to believe that the opening of the
deep shaft, at the bottom of which
was lake, was blocked up. This
she found to be true. She made an
opening with the assistance of w. H.
Murphy, and roughly-hewed steps
disclosed in the wall were evidences
of its inhabitation by prehistoric man.

NEVADA MAN IS
MARRIED BACHELOR
ASKS DIVORCE, CLAIMING HE
WAS WEDDED AGAINST
HIS WILL.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. az
Charles Edward Ruflner, whose suit
for the annulment of his marriage
was called today, is in a predcament.
He knows, according to his testimony.
that he married Edith Lester in Day
ton, New. last July, but he does not
remember why. He claims that "A
constable and an uncle of the girl
took him to Dayton while he was in
toxicated and told him if he did not
marry the girl they would do some
thing-he could not remember just
what-and he consented, upon the
promise of the woman that she would
get a divorce as soon as possible.
The county clerk had lost his
license book, and license was type
written, and Ruffman supposed he
was married all right. He had never
wronged the girl, he says, and since
the marriage he has not seen her,
and is tired of being married bach

SAYS BRYAN WILL TRY
AGAIN FOR PRESIDENCY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-William
Jennings Bryan, for president, and
Governor John A. Johnson, of Min
nesota, for vice-president, is the
Democratic ticket which John N.
Baldwin, of Nebraska, general coun-
sci for the Union Pacific, today pre-
dicted would be nominated
"a movement to bring about this
is on foot" declared Baldwin. ''It
has for it's purpose the bringing to
the support of the Democratic party
the heavy Republican Scandinavian
vote of the great northwest, which,
it is believed, would be effected by
the nomination of Governor Johnson
as Bryan's running mate, Johnson be-
ing Swede. Politicians figure that
the Democratic party, by this ar
rangement, would have chance of
carrying Minnesota, the Dakotas

CATHOLIC CHOIR IS
To Be ORGANIZED
WORK OF MUSICIANS TO BE RE-
SUMED FOR WINTER-FATHER
SHEEHAN WILL REMAIN

Mrs. f. +. Nevin, organist and
leader of Sacred Heart Catholic
church choir, has undertaken the re-
organization of the choir, and will,
hold the first rehearsal at the church
next Friday night.
Mrs Nevin asks that all the voices
that were affiliated with the choir last
winter, as well as any new voices who
are interested in the work, be pres
ent at the rehearsal.
The choir did great deal during
its activity last winter and spring
to add to the pleasure of the regular
and special services of the church.
and it is to be hoped that the new
choir will be as well balanced as was
the old.
1t has been definitely determined
that Rev Father Sheehan who came
here a few weeks ago from Austin,
will remain here. Father Sheehan
has gained popularity during his
short stay here and the church is to
be congratulated upon having Sc
cured a forcefu speaker and natural
leader to guide its destinies.
