RECALLS A DIAMOND
FIND NEAR WENATCHEE
Stone Worth 5000 " as Once Found
Near Wenatchee-Frank WilkeSOn
of New York Sun Picked up the
Valuable Stone.

The Ellensburg Localizer tells the
following story of a diamond find
and recalls an incident of early days
il the Wenatchee Valley:
Along with the purposed develop
ing of Kittitas Valley as an oil dis
trict comes the news tnat it will soon
flourish as diamond field and John
son Canyon will be another Kember-
ly. A stone picked up in that sec
tion is being examined by scientists
at the University of Washington
and the reports. while not definite
are highly encouraging.
Two weeks ago G. M. Rice, local
division engineer of the Milwaukee
was walking in Johnson Canyan,
when he noticed an attractive stone
lying in the dirt He picked it up
and brought it to this city. where
he showed the stone to a number of
friends. who pronounced it of some
value. He then sent it to Albert
Hansen, Seattle jeweler, who up
on investigation recommended that
it be sent to a lapidary, where a
thorough examination of the stone
could be made. Accordingly Mr..
Rice instructed that the stone be
sent to the University of Washing
ton for a test.
According to the reports from
the University the stone has all the
earmarks of a diamond. apparently

Milling Interests of the State Making
Effort to Secure Cooperation of
East i'm Opening Oriental
Markets.

The effort of the Washington
-four mill men to unite with the east
ern mill men in securing government
aid for the better development of
our foreign markets is one that
should meet the hearty approval of
every business man on this coast. In
view of the rapid advance the Japa-
nese are making in the milling of
flour in their own country and the
danger threatening that industry on
this coast, this movement for a mar
ket in the Orient is timely and should
be vigorously prosecuted Trade
Register.
Concerning the above item, Mr.
Russi of the Wenatchee Milling COM
pany says:
In reference to this article you
might add that during the last few
years the daily milling capacity of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and CAL
ifornia had been increased to about
$4,000 barrels. A much larger mill
ing factor than even government Of
ficials have realized. The eastern
millers have been petitioning the
government for special trade devel-
oping regulations, and for this reason
the western millers feel that their
industries should receive like bene-
fits by establishing a special board
of commissioners to encourage the
consumption of wheat products
throughout the Orient as we'll as
South American countries.
The Wenatchee Milling Co. is al
ready enjoying a fine trade in the
Orient, principally with Japan. and
the sales OF the past year greatly
increased over the previous year.

stone is now being polished and
ground, and the exact nature of the
stone has not been decided.
Along with the finding of the
stone in Johnson's Canyon, goes the
story of the finding o. the diamond
in the Wenatchee valley years ago.
A civil engineer on the Great North
ern survey. while working near We
natchee, picked up a stone which at
tracted his attention He carried it
in his pocket for a couple of years
and on his return to New York sent
it to Tiffany's, the leading jewelers.
and diamond experts of the world.
After an investigation, they pro-
nounced the stone diamond with
a value of 5000. The young engi-
neer returned to the Wenatchee
country and spent three or four
thousand dollars in a vain search
for more. Persons coonversant with
geology say the conditions in John
son Canyon are ideal for diamonds.
The diamond find in the Wenat-
chez valley was made by Frank Will
keson. representative of the New
York Sun, who spent the winter
here. stopping with John Freer and
Sam Miller. This was thirty years
ago, at the time the surveys were
being made for the Northern Pacific
