betterment is doubtful. The. cost of
transporting machinery and supplies
under present conditions is all but pro-
hibftive. The Introduction of American
rough country wagons on the road
from Curalinho to the Jequitinhonha
river country. by one of the American
companies installing dredging ma
chinery there. has been so successful as
TO attract the attention of the state
government, and that government at
present is making a strong effort to Sc
cure the general adoption of these
wagons for all such work by the Brazil
ian population.
There has arisen demand for Amer
ican agricultural machinery for the de-
velopment of the country TO meet the
requirements for forage and supplies,
and the government is also seekin &
American capital for the construction
and operation of a modern meat pack
ing plant with a view of furnishin &
supplies for industrial and agricultural
colonies which it plans to establish in
several portions of the state. especially
near the diamond mining district.
1t has been authoritatively estab-
lished that some of the diamonds orig
inally sold as Indian diamonds came
from Brazil. Heretofore practically all
of the output of Brazilian diamonds has
gone to Europe, chiefly to Paris and
London. The shipments to the United
States are increasing in number and
value, and it is the expectancy OF the
American interests now investing so
heavily in Brazilian diamond properties
that they will be able to sell their
products direct to American buyers.
1t is the understanding in the Dia-
mantina district that the export tax
on diamonds. which has heretofore in
terfered with the sale and shipment OF
stones. will be modified or removed al
together to the betterment of the trade.
The exports of diamonds from Brazil
in 1906 amounted 10 about $4,000. as
compared with about s150,000 in 1905,
but the figures in neither case even ap-
proximate the actuaIv value of stones
exported. These figures also include
the declared values Of black or amor
phous diamonds from Bahia, the trade
In which is increasing.-From Consular

Petroleum IN Australia

The discovery of petroleum in the
Boonah district of Queensland. Aus
tralia. is reported in the Queenslander.

heavy black OIL has been found in
well 100 feet in depth and within two
miles of the town. On farm Ave miles
from Boonah bores are said to show a
volatile oil. probably kerosene, at
depth OF $50 feet There are said to be
other indications OF oil IN several parts
OF the district. notably Harrisville

indications are said to be that the
field will be productive when opera

American. capital has obtained pos
session of practically all the diamond
bearing territory in the Diamantina
country. The success of the Work
means that millions of American dol
lars will be spent in Brazilian diamond
mining. Work on the mines already
done has led to such demand for I'M
proved transportation facilities that an
American engineer has been sum-
moned to take charge of the construc-
tion of highway from the end OF the
railway at Curalinho to the mining
country and American methods of con-
struction are to be followed.
The city of Diamantina. which is the
center of the diamond and gold mining
activities for that portion of Brazil,
is by leaving the railroad at Curvello,
Minas Geraes. and taking mule train
for the three to four days trip. This
route ranges over. some very rough
country, including two rivers separated
by high ridges, the main ridge reach
ing we'll toward 5000 feet elevation
where the trail crosses it. 1t can only
be taken by mules or horses. The
other route is by leaving the railroad
at Curanlinho. farther north than Cur
vello. It can be taken in rough stages
and wagons but perhaps all things con-
sidered is a more difficult trip than by
the former route, During the past dry
season four American women in all
have made the trip to Diamantina. but
it is doubtful If any of them will re-
peat it until better means of trans
portation are provided.
It is stated that the state govern

occurs in July next. is about to be
commemorated by the erection of a
marble monument over his tomb in the
crypt of Westminster cathedral, to
which his remains were Tasty trans
lated from Kensal Green, together with
those OF Cardinal Wiseman. The beau
tiful and costly sepulcher of the lat

resting place of his successor has as
yet been unmarked by any fitting
memorial. A movement has now been

BRYAN STAYS IN THE WEST.

Jersey City, n. j.. July 22.-Wiiliam
Jennings Bryan will not speak In New
Jersey during his third term fight for
the presidency. He will devote all
of his enegies to the middle west and
west, and Kern, his running mate,
will do the campaign work in the east.
At least Mr.. Kern will do the talking
in New Jersey.
This much came out before the state
democratic committee went into ex-
ecutive session in the raw Offices OF
State Chairman Robert s. Hudspeth.
1t was stated that the state commit
tee had gone to the national demo
cratic committee and that this CON-
mittee had informed the state COM
mittee that it would be impossible for
Mr.. Bryan to speak in New Jersey.
They offered Mr. Kern and he was
accepted. He will make three speeches
in this state. one in Jersey City, one IN
Newark, and one in Camden.
