DIAMONDS ARE FOUND
IN SEVERAL STATES

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The official report
of Douglas Sterrett to the United States
geological survey, which has just been
made public, and which declares that
more diamonds were found in this coun-
try than ever before, has created much
surprise in Maiden Lane. Mr.. Sterrett
finds rhat the diamonds produced in Ar
kansas are OF as fine quality as those
from the African fields.
Conditions in the Arkansas fields are
more promising than ever before. At one
point $40 diamonds were found of which
sos weighed 217 carats. Three stones which
were cut proved to be worth from $50 to
s175 a carat
The other states in which prospecting
IS now being conducted are California
and Kentucky, and small diamonds are
said to have been found in both.

The weather has not been such within the last

TRAIN CREWS ON THE
n. & ". INCREASED

--- Bluef1eld, VIVA, Sept Sowing
to the increase in the coal and coke
business on the Norfolk e. Western
IN the Pocahontas field the railroad
company has found it necessary to
very materially increase it's train
crews. When the panic period pre-
Valled, many men were cut from the
crews. Conductors went back. to
brakemen and fagmen, and engine
men took UP their old tasks Of shovel
ing coal into fire boxes, while brake
men and .firemen were temporarily
retired. The advent of better, tiIttia
IN the coal fields and the heavy
freight movement has called for q
big increase in operating crews. Nu-
merous promotions have taken place.
men have been reinstated, and 1t Ia
estimated that within the past few
weeks from fifty to seventy-five men
have been added to the working train
force on this division.
Williamson Is the muzz1e OF the
Pocahontas coal fields so far as this
division Is concerned and the deliye
cries for western consignment are
made to the Scioto division at that
point. The intermediate tributary
helds Of course must be taken into
consideration, but the Scioto divis-
lon takes the entire haulage for the
west from the adjoining fields. 1t Is
stated that thirty-eight extra crews
have been added on the Scioto divis-
ION, and that 1T Is possible the extra
crews Will run up to fifty within the
next few days If business continues
to increase.
The increase on this division has
not amounted to 80 much for the
reason that crews efficiency
amounts to great deal more from
here to Williamson than 1t does from
Williamson west, since the haul Is
down grade. One crew here repre-
sents much higher handling results
since gravity aids very materially in
the movement.
The Norfolk & Western officials
here say that the employment Of
tralnmen and the haulage on this
division is now up to the
standard Of the best times. And even
at this the business is rapidly in
creas1ng, particularly the western
movement. While the eastern load
ing is good and Is showing substan-
t1al Improvement, it Is not quite

RIGHTS OF PEDESTRIANS
PUT IN JEOPARDY
BY FAST DRIVING

Numerous complaints have been
made to the Mail by some Of the
leading citizens of Charleston Of the
lax1ty of the city officials in enforc-
Ing the laws relating to the speed
OF vehicles and the obstruction Of
the cltys highways. ...-
Automobiles, motor cycles. bug.
giles and other vehicles are allowed
10 exceed the speed; limit without
interference on number. of streets
In the city, while the streets and
sidewalks are blockaded In the vi
entity Of new buildings under the
process OF construction. |r
Another Objectionable nuisance in
charleston, which is seen in but few
cities, is the riding OF bicycles on the
sidewalks of the city by numerous
people without being molested tby the
officers who are supposed to enforce
the law. The rights OF pedestrians
IN Charleston have been safeguafded
by law but the officers are not prone
to enforce these ordinances. -. -.
In some Of the residence sections
OF the city drivers of vehicles are al
30 annoyed by children, in a spirit Of
braVado and daring, running ont in
front of an approaching vehicle and
then jumping away in time to escape
injury. This is a matter that should
he promptly attended to by the par
ent' and without any delay. -
