SUDDEN DEATH OF
 MIR. BOB BROOKS
Another of Presc0tt'S Prominent Young Men Passes Away Quite Suddenly
 at O'clock ThIS Afternoon

Our community suffered anoth- CT severe shock this, afternoon by the news Of the death of Bob Brooks. which occurred at the home of his mothe.| in this city this afternoon at 1 o'clock
 Mir. Brooks had been in bad health for several weeks. but was only taken seriously ill few days ago His condition grew alarming this morning about o'clock, since which time grave fears were entertained forl his recovery, But the public gener- ally were not aware Of his il1- ness until the sad news of his death was announced.
 The deceased was the son of the late J T. Broooks. and lived With his mother in the eastern part of Prescott. and was a young man about 3H years of age. He as born and reared in Prescott and was wei! liked by those who knew him intimately.
 Mr. Brooks was from one of the first families of Prescott, was a brother. of Mrs. Imont Gee, and Mrs. Howard Terry and was a member Of the Knights Of Py- thias lodge.

IN SEARCH OF TREASUSE

Fort Smith, March 12.-The re- turn of spring has given renew ed zest to the hunt for gold ill progress at Buzzard Mountain near here. 1t isn't gold ore that the prospectors are seeking but it is the old, old hunt they ard on for the famous Spanish treas ure. which is a favorite quest in the mountains and bluffs of West ern Arkansas.
 Many hopes have been blasted and many fortunes sunk i'll vain Searchings for the elusive treas ure! It's presence is traditional but the tagging faith of the hunt CTS is sparred on by the thought of supposedly favorable indica- tlcns which have been met with from time to time. Among the things which have kept the dig glng and blasting in progress is the visit Of a party of ,Spanlards O. Meyicans with a mysterious looking map with strange signs and notices upon it. The MeXi- cans or Spaniards, which ever they were wanted a share in the "d!ggings' and got it. Although no gold has been struck some queer finds have been made in- cluding some human skeletons in an old shaft w hich had been fill ed up by former diggers, but which upon rediscovery of it's mouth was reopened again.
 The theory has been advanced that the skeletons are those ol workmen who participated ir the discovery Of the mine, who were killed to prevent the sec ret leaking out, and that the shaft was then closed, the suc- cessful miners for soma reason not coming back to claim their treasure; hence the q gging con tinues and probably will continue fer some years to come.

THE NEW DEPOT
 QUESTION ACTIVE
New Hope Inspired by a Recent Visit From St. Louis Headquarters
 Further Steps Expected SoOn.

Is Prescott to ever have a new depot? This question has been agitated and discussed for the past twenty years, without seemingly any effect. Our people have pleaded, petitioned, legis- lated and even threatened in the matter, but the railroad com pany goes on doing business in the same old dingy, stand.
 A few years ago our hopes were given a decided uplift, when crew of men from Little Rock headquarters dropped in town one day, and began taking meas urements of the situation, and the depot. The report at once be- came current that a new struc- ture was to be erected, and some Of us expected to see material on the ground the next morning
 The next heard on the subject was that the blue prints had been made by the companyS ar chltect, and then we just knew lUdl IL W Ouii Olily oC o iUNS e'Cii of a few days when actual work of construction would begin.
 Then followed in rapid success sion the appropriation of the money, more visits of officials from Little Rock headquarters more measurements and finally the railroad commission was sought, and issued orders that the building must go up.
 That has all been some years ago and our people had grown to regard the Prescott depot as one of the permanent fixtures of the town, and that storms may come. and the winds may blow but the structure will stay here forever.
 But a new move has been made in the matter recently, that is calculated to revive the dead hope, and start things moving again. X few weeks ago for the first time in the history of the matter. St. Louis officials came to look at the situation. The fa- miliar faces of the old gang who had been measuring the place for decade were missing, and a new

 Al! these stones and many others have been picked up on tho surface of this field, as no excayating has yet been done by the Ozark people,
 The stones were all found on what Is known as the New Pipe, , winch has been located for a width Of 1882 feet, all of which S composed of diamond bearing dirt.

GREAT OVATION TO
 HON. C. K HAYNIE
The Newly Elected Head Consul of Ar. Kansas WOOdmen Publicly Received
 From Et Smith Convention.

The local camp of the Woodmen or the World assisted by the cit iZens of Prescott generally. gave Hon. G. k. Haynie a public re- ception on his arrival today from the Head Camp Convention just closed at Fort Smith, and at " hich be was made Head Consul Commander of the Wooodmerl of Arkansas Long before the train bearing our distinguished towns men was due to arrive, a commit tee of his friends had provided the band wagon, and was wait ing at the depot. As Mir. Hayniel stepped from the train he was caught bodily in the arms of sev- eral of the committee, who car rled him to the conveyance, and he was immediately driven over the streets of the city while crowds stood on the corners and cheered.
 Finally the band wagon was stepped on the corner of the op- era house by cries of Speech ! Speech ]" and Mir. Haynie, in a few well chosen words expressed his appreciation of the uneXpect- ed reception, and hoped that dur ing his administration he would bring credit to the order, credit to his state, credit to his town and credit to himself
 Probably the most happy man Of the occasion, even exceeding tho joy of Mir. Haynie himself, was Sovereign bio Lewis, who went to the Fort Smith conven- tiOn with the hope and determin- atiOn to place his devoted friend at the head of the Woodmen of Arkansas.
 Az the close of Mr. Haynicfs speech the conveyance was driv- en to the Consul Commanders Of flee, where the party alighted and for a while held an impromp- | tu reception, and Mr. Haynie was sbowered with personal congrat- ulations by his many friends.

ppFSCOTT SCHOOL

 by Pupils From this Place.

The pupils of the Prescott pub lic school are going to enter the contest to be held at Little Rock on April 23 and 24, for the pur- nose of determining excellence in reading, spelling, Reclamation and map drawing. The contest will be held under the supervi- sion of the Superintendent of public instruction. and in part wil. embrace all the schools of the state that care to enter.
 All schools are permitted to en- ter the spelling and map drawing contests, while only those teach ing the high school course are eligible in the two reading con tests Of the latter 75 schools have already agreed to send a representative.
 Prescott expects to enter all four contests and will hold a public preliminary examination at lIIc ODtl hOttSSt Oh Pi IL ONil to determine by judges specially appointed who is the best fitted to represent the school in each of the studies.
 The exercises will consist on thia preliminary occasion of an old fashioned spelling match, de- clamations and reading contest The map drawing exercises will of course be held privately at the schoui building.
 Superintendent Cook is endeav- 0eng to secure half rates on in railroads for the Little Rock oc- casion, and if he succeeds there will probably be 75 or 100 of our people including pupils and pat rons who will attend.

TO RAISE CANTALOUPES

Gravette. March 12.- Arkan- sas is to rival Colorado in the in dustrN of growing lucious can talOupes if the organized efforts of farmers in this part of the state can bring this condition a. bout.

About forty acres have been planted in highgrade cantaloupes under an agreement between members of the bureau. and if the experiment is the success that those who have given the matter the mosE thought, say it will be the acre age will be doubled or quadrup'ed next season.

 And perhaps now, if there are not too may more headquarters to hear from on the matter, and tape lines do not give out we will get a new depot some time-yes. some time.
 You have no idea, what a ted ious job, and how difficult it is to build a depot.

glneer of the company, will leave i'll few days for New York and while there will make arrange mentS for the purchase of the necessary machinery for the working of the mines, and while none of the officers of the com pany would state definitely when they expected to commence working the mines on a large scale they did state that machin- cry would be put in soon and real diamond mining begun on the property. The sale of treasury stock is to provide funds for this purpose.
 Engineer Woodford in speaking Of the matter said: For more than thirty years l have engaged in the diamond mining business. and regarding the property of the Ozark Diamond Mines Cor pOration l will say that this property compares very favorab- iy with the diamond mines of South Africa and the stones al ready taken out, as far as uual- ity is concerned are of much. high CT grade than many of the Af- rican stones and are almost eq- ual to those taken from the fam ous Kimberley mines.
 This is the first time that outcroppings of diamond bearing dirt have ever been discovered on the Western Hemisphere" said MT. Woodford. " and believe that within a short time there will be 5O,OOO people Hooking to Pike county and Arkansas will become equally las noted as South Africa for l know that the stones found are of a quail icy that will pay enormously the company that mines them, and that every indication, and have investigated this field thorough ly, indicates that the mines will be lasting.
 Ono thing that is very fav- orable to the Ozark Diamond Mines Corporation, Tn that the Pipe contains only soft wash able material, which win make ! the mining more easy, This con 1 dition is not found in any of the other Arkansas mines.
 There is one thing certain. that Arkansas will soon be pro- ducing diamonds of almost as high a grade of quality as South ! Africa.
 "The people Of this state can hardly realize that there are dia- monds in this state but neverthe- less they have been found that will stand any test, and in my opinion there are plenty more on " waiting to be mined, which 1 fact will be demonstrated by this company within a very short time"
