Big Arrangements
 For Mining Congress

Some entirely new pnases of the mining industry will be disclosed to the delegates and visitors who attend the sessions of the American Mining Cor gress, which conyenes in GoldheId Septem Der 27. and many of Ihe qu0s- tious which will then be discussed by men of national prominence will com mand the interested attention of per
 sons far removed from the centers oi the mining industry. Much good has been accomplished in the past by tbs organization and it's present plans measure the benilicial affects of which will be far reaching and will extend to the remotest parts of the country.
 One of the objects most earnestly advocated and one winch is significant of inc character of it's personnel, is the prevention and elimination oi fraudulent or wildcat" mine pro- motions, an evil which, while 1t has been efTectually suppressed i'll Nevaua pv recent legislation, still hourlshes in some states and is the bane of leg itimate mining. In discussing this and other important questions 1t will be the bject to flame amendatory leg as3ption to be recommended to national congress and to the legislatures of several mining states for passage.
 A subject of the most vital lnterst to the members which will be thoroughly discussed and analysed, without reference to any former or pre- sent political aspect of the question, is th wider use of silver and means whereby greater universal use of the white metal may be brought about with view, particularly, to effectlng a re duction in the existing rates o' exchange between the United States and other silver using nations, to the end that Oriental markets may be opened to the products of the American manufacturer.

Arkansas Mine Pro-
 duCes Rich Diamonds

The value of precious stones pro- duced in the United States in 1908 was Sil5, 063, decrease of $56, 237. These figures, which are in part furnished by the producers and in ant based on estimates from the quantity produced, are given by D. B. Sterrett, of the United States Geological Survey, in an advance chapter from Mineral resources of the United States, calen- dar year 1908. :" They are as complete at it is possible to obtain, but there are some gems for which no accurate fig general trade depression appears not to have affected the precious stones industry as much as might have been expected, and the prodcution of cer- tain gems, notably turquoise and variscite, was greatly increased over that for 1907.
 Turquoise and turquoise matriX folmed the lai gest item in the list the production being 29, 590, pounds with an estimate value of $l47. 950, from Arizora, New Mexico, Nevada, and California. The 1907 value was &&23, S40 Ar odd stone recently cut in Los Angeles from deposit on Ithaca Peak, in Mohave Country. Ariz., showed a blue letter Y of turquoise in gray matrix, this cutting being made possible through the presence of split turquoise venet. The stone was sent to student in Yale Univer- sity.
 Tourmaline was the next largest item in point Of va'ue, the production being ,, 300 pounds, with an estimate value of S91,o0o, from California, Connecticut, ana Maine. In 1907 the production was ,, 1i0 pounds, valued at SS4, 120. The bulk of the 1908 pro- duction came from California; at Mesa Grande a perfect tourmaline weighing D carats alter cutting was obtained.
 The third item in the list, sapphire, show ed great decrease from 1907, the production in 1908 having an esti- mated value of S5S, 397, as against S22D, 500 in the earlier year. The greater part of the 1908 output came from a single mine in Fergus County, Mont., but a small quantity was obtained in Morgan County, Mo.
 The production of diamonds from Arkansas, though rot a large item, is of h.erest because this was the first locality in North America where dia- monds were f, und in place. Tie first dian ond was discovered August l, 1906, about, 215 miles southeast of M urfreesboro, Pike County, in peri dotite, an igneous rock. The produo- tion from this locality in 1907 had an estimate value of $2, So0 In 1908 the production was 362 stones, with an estimate value of $2, loo. II is reported that over TOO diamonds have been found up to July l, 1909. Three cut stones were found to be brilliant and were valued at $60 to Sl57 per carat A parcel of rough, unsorted stones from the mine will he easily worth $l0 per carat. The possibilities of cheap mining in Arkansas are great. as water and timber are abundant near by and coal should be obtained at reasonaDl e rat5s. Some diamonds are reported to have been found also in newly discovered preidotite area about 21s miles northeast of the original locality.

AbStractors and lawyers down in

heads over an extraordinary error
committed by the government in the
year 1855 in deciding out six acres
more land to man than he paid for,
or rather, failing to specify in the
patent the exact description The
unusual mistake resulting in stu
alton without parallel, was brought
to the attention of the county au-
thorities through a letter from the
United States land department at
washington to county auditor Lake,
OF Taylor county, making an inquiry
concerning the land in question. The
letter from Washington discloses the
TACT that on Oct. rs, 1855, Robert H.
Hole patented piece of land in Tay-
Tor county that cantained 217.22
acres but in adding up the amount
the total was made 211.22 acres.
Mr. Hole paid the government for
52ll-22 acres, Or 1894, and the dis
eovery is now made that this six
acres is not paid for and never has
been. The land in question is now
