Engineers Report

To the many who are inquiring

that / have finished the survey, OF
two reservoirs this summer, one Of
which will contain ten thousand
seven hundred acres of water one
foot deep with n dam requiring fifty
six cubic yards OF dirt to the acre
foot of water. The other one will
store about ten thousand acre feet
with a less quantity OF dirt In the
dam There is plenty of dirt avail
able for building the dams at small
cost and the reservoirs are ideal for
holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley OF thirty
thausand acres or more, by means OF
about eight miles OF ditch to the
upper part OF the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs To-
Gated which can. and Will be utilized

ELEVEN TONS OF DIAMONDS
Output Of the Kimberly Mines In
/ Thlrty-nine Years-Discovery
Of the Record Gem.

The days work at the mine was
over and Frederick Wells. the sur
face manager. was making his usual
rounds. Glancing along one side Of
the deep excavation his eye suddenly
caught the CLEAN of brilliant object
far up the bank. He lost no time In
climbing up to the spot where he had
noted the CLINT of light. He had not
been mistaken: it was a brilliant crys-
ftal He tried to pull 1t out with his
fingers and as this proved impossible
he sought to pry it out with the blade
of his penknife. To his surprise the
blade OF the knife broke without caus-
nng the stone to yield. Then he knew
dt was large stone. So large and
brilliant was the stone that he feared
he was either dreaming or was In
sane
Determined to test the stone on the
spot before proceeding further. Wells
rubbed on the dirt from one of its
faces with his fingers and soon con-
WINGED himself that IL was not lump
of glass. but a diamond, apparently of
exceptional whiteness and purity. He
finally succeeded in prying out the
stone and bore 1t away with him to
the office of the mine Here 1t was
cleaned and. to the astonishment OF
all, was found to have weight OF
iSo2A carats, more than three times
that of any other diamond that had
been discovered. Before many hours
passed the telegraph carried tidings
70 all parts OF the world that the great
est diamond of this age or any other
age had been brought to light.

they were diamonds OF wonderful

The singular drying effect which oc-
