COLORADO DIAMOND FIELD.

Pueblo, Jan. 6.--That diamond fields
such as rival the famous grounds at
Kimberly, South Africa, exist in Colo
rado, and within one hundred miles
OF Pueblo, is the claim OF Gen. George
vandemach, hero OF the Boer war
and survivor of the battle of The
Three Kopjes.
Gen. Vandemach has been in the
United States for several months fol-
lowing his vocation of mining engi-
opinion the borders of Colorado en-
close riches in diamond deposits
which will astound the entire world.
He arrived In Pueblo yesterday
morning from the west where he has
been carrying on his Investigations
for some time and Is registered at the
Southern hotel. He leaves this after
noon for Dalhart, Texas, where
wealthy countrymen are interested
with him In the exploitation OF dia-
mond mines throughout the world.
In Gen. yandemachs opinion the
earth formations and the peculiar
brand of quartz which he has located
in Colorado's mountains are Indicative
of stones, the like OF which the world
that the products OF the undeveloped
field will rival the crown jewels of
Europe for color and composition.
The stratum which he has uncover
ed is said to be the same kind as that
in which were found the wonderful
steel blue diamonds Of South Africa,
which are classed above price and
which are now imbedded In the royal
crowns of Great Britain.
1t was the discovery OF such a STRAIT
um which led to the final success and
wonderful trlumphs OF Cecil Rhodes
and 1t was from that vein that the
most perfect gems known have been
removed.
Gen. Vandemach naturally refuses
to disclose the exact location of the
ground, but declares that he has Sc
cured options on the property which
he can control until July /. which
gives him plenty OF time for the final
negotiations.
The South African mining man has
in his possession now a specimen OF
the material In which he declares dia-
monds of the first water are found.
II appears to be granite formation
and bears slight streak of blue.
Gen. Vandemach expects to return
to Pueblo Immediately after his con-
ference with the remainder OF his par
ty in Delhart and 1t is thought that
operations will start almost simultan-
eously with his arrival.

today destroyed several sections OF
this city and did damage estimated at
Ss00000. For tims it was feared
that great portion Of the city would
be burned out and aid was summoned
from Buffalo and Syracuse. Several

tonight and the militia was called out
by the mayor TO guard what little the
homeless saved Of their personal and
household effects. as il was feared ir-
responsible persons would attempt to
steal the property. A heavy rain set
in and while it helped to extinguish
the blaze, it worked hardship on
the homeless. The FIRE started in the
Palmer building, a four-story brick
structure used for manufacturing in
terests, and from this, second FIRE
was started by sparks from the origin
al fire which carried them more than
a mile and lodged in the Dutch Re-

taken with a grain Of salt. Republi'
can members OF the ways and means

that the amendment 10 restore Ding
ley rates Is intended partly at least
. for use In conference, In other words
|, is regarded as being for trading
purposes, Several other changes made
by the senate committee are inter
preted in the house to be for the
