REAL DIAMONDS
 IN ARKANSAS

The minerals in which the diamonds are found in Arkansas has been named "Kimberlite" in the African diamond mines by scientists, and "blue ground" by the miners. This latter name was applied on account of the color change the mineral as sumed after the mines had reach ed a depth of 40 or 90 feet. Their surface, to the depth named, was of a greenish yellow colored ground, which is also true of Arkansas. Borings, shafts and pits over the field are bottomed in blue ground. The greenish yellow ground is without ques- tion the final stage of disintegra- tion of the blue ground and is mere readily washable and it's diamonds easier concentrated by properly constructed washing machinery.
 Through volcanic pipes gov. ernmeht geologists have assert ed their belief that the earth's crust in this portion of Arkansas is structurally weak; the Hot Springs region and the diamond fields, 90 miles away, leaves no doubt of the volcanic action of past ages. lndesputable evi dence of the volcanic action eX ists in the formation of the great diamond bearing craters and pipes of Africa. Huge vents, often of great size, extend almost vertically connecting profound fracture in the earth's crust with the surface, which were filled from depths, yet unfathom. ed by man, with the Kimberlite minerals carrying the diamonds. In the Kimberley region of Africa five of these necks are known, and in the Arkansas field three shave been discovered, so favorably located for mining and working that eventually dia- monds may be produced at much less cost than by African meth. ods. where cheap labor is em- ployed, but is offset by high African duties on the product and the cost of pumping water long distances, combined with seasons of drouth that retard the weathering processes of the more refractory blue ground.

TOMPKINS FANS THE
 MIGHTY WAGNER

Little Rock, April 9.-In the glow of the warm freight in winters of the distant future, Tompkins, the elongated young ster, now twirling for the Uni versity of Arkansas will lean back and dwell upon the time when he pitched against the Worlds Champion Base Ball Team and struck out Honus Wagner, the king of the swat smiths, as we'll as Tommy Leach, Jack Miller, Vincent Campbell and Flynn, all of the same team.
 Tompkins did do well yester- day, although they did roll up a score of s to against the Uni- versity of Arkansas and touch ed him up for 16 safe raps, three of which were tripletts. Had Tompkins felded his posi- tion and cut off the three wild pitches he drifted over when men were on bases, the story would have been entirely differ ent, for some nifty fielding was done behind him.
 Wagner shone only when Tompkins struck him out, and then his antics were ludicrous.
