Gold Stealing In Australia.

There have recently been unpleas.
ant revelations as to the extent to
which the stealing Of gold by the min
ers is carried on in Australia. Some
authorities estimate that as much as
$4,000. 900 worth Of gold is lost every
year by the Australian mining COM
panies In this way. Most of the miu-
ing centers are haunted by a shady
class Of nominal gold buyers" who
are really the accomplices of the dis
honest miners, the fences" in Grim.
inal .slang. Representatives OF the
mining companies in Bendigo. where
. record number Of cases Of gold
stealing have recently occurred. have
met In conference to consider the best
means of dealing with the evil. Az
one way Of checking the evil 1t was
decided to establish q register Of all
the miners employed in the Bendigo
district, 20 that the movements and
migrations OF dismissed or reasonably
suspected men might be traced and
observed. In this way 1t Is hoped to
prevent the thieves getting employ
ment in other mines.

Diamond Loss in Cutting.

Diamonds lose enormously in the
process of cutting. The Excelsior.
like the Cullinan. is Cape diamond
of fine quality and free from color. It
was the biggest diamond known until
the giant Cullinan was found. but in
the rough 1t only weighed seven
ounces. or less than third OF the
Cullinan. AS now cut 1t weighs only
IN ounces. It Is reduced to q quar-.
ter of its original size.
In the same way the Pitt diamond.
an Indian one. named after Gen. Pitt.
of Madras. weighed originally three
ounces. and is now (t is In Paris. In
the Louvre. and Is called The Re.
gent') less than an ounce In weight.
The biggest Indian diamond known
the Nizam-is not quite twice this
size. while the rK0hfnor. which Is prob.
ably 4 fragment "a third) of the
Great Mogul'-a diamond which has
disappeared. leaving only tradition
and surmises as to its history--weighs
no less than three-quarters Of an
ounce This seems a small affair by
the side of the 81 ounces OF the Culli-
nan.

travel through the country in winter
weather when the roads are impass-
able. Judge william Reed, who will
