drive some distance from the face has
just been put in. From here the wash
which is 2 fit. thick, produced 80 dia-
monds from a quarter of a truck wash
ed as a trial prospect. These 80 dis-
mands weighed in the aggregate IL
carats. BY the primitive method (hand
sitting in a tub of water) $50 carats of
diamonds we're obtained within a few
days in testing the value of the wash.
An interesting feature of this discovery
is that the opinion is held locally that
that this particular hill shows the out
line of an extinct volcano, from which
it is assumed the lead in question had
been fed from the extinct crater. In
other words, that it is the source from
whence the diamonds came.

Core Less for Statesman than for Prize
Potatoes.

Although much is heard of the west
ern governors who are visiting the
east as publicity agents for their re-
spective territories, the people of that
densely populated part of the country
will not be so much interested in for
ensic artillery as they will be in what
the various states have to show in ex-
hibits.
Land hunger is held to be stronger
in the eastern states than it has been
for SO years. Publicity in the news
papers and in the magazines has be-
gun to do it's work. The people have
begun to realize that land products and
not manufacturing form the basis of
wealth. The interest is shown by the
great crowds that daily visit the ex-
hibit cars sent from Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, the Dakotas, Montana, Cal
ifornia. Wyoming, Colorado and Min
nesota.
The west has much to offer the east
in productive lands. The. efforts of
the western governors, because of their
positions as state executive heads,
will help to educate the eastern peo-
pie. But the sight of the wonderful
products of the great west, shown in
the railway exhibit cars, will be 8
greater object lesson than all the ora
tory from the gubernatorial batteries.

Option on Mining Claims.

A contract TO convey mining claims
for a specified sum IN cash and other
payments to be made in one or two
years, with q stipulation that the pur-
chaser might take possession of the
claims and develop them, and provid-
ing that the purchaser should abide by
the terms of the agreement and in de-
fault of any of the payments, to sur
render such claims to the owner and
forfeit all moneys paid and expended,
is nothing more than an option, and
the purchaser is left to his election
within the life of the agreement to
purchase or a forfeiture of all sums
paid or expended. But the purchaser
entering under such an option and en-
ploying laborers to perform the work,
can establish no Indebtedness in favor
of the miners against the owners. and
no lien attaches to his interest in the
property, as such work is not perform
ed by virtue of any employment from
the owner, and the person holding such
option is neither a vendee nor an agent
of the owner. In such an option, time
is said to be the essence of the contract
and a failure of the original purchaser
or his assignee to pay the balance
die on the specified debts relieves the
original owner of any obligation to con,
vey under the option agreement and al
rights are forfeited

really come to fill the place for which
they were designed. At first the idea
of educating a farmer was laughahle
to many people who rejoiced In lit
tie learning. Even the farmer him
self did not realize the advantage of
college education to man who must
make living from the soil. 1t took
good many years to bring people to re-
alize that college education Is as val
liable for farmer as for doctor or
lawyer. The main difference Is that
the law compels man to get col
lege diploma before he starts to prac
tice medicine. while he may start
farming with nothing but team and
plow.
Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and in
the cities who doubt the value of
college education for the farmer
Many farm boy Is squarely con-
fronted with the problem of choosing
between four years In college or start
ing to farm at once. Four years is a
long time to young man. Fifteen
hundred to $1,000 Is large sum Of
money to him. To spend both for Il
college education requires great deal
of courage and faith in the future.
The amount of money necessary to
pay four years expenses in college
will enable the young man to start
| farming on a rented farm. The four
years will. II he Is Industrious. enable
him to earn enough to make good
sized payment on farm Of bis own
II he goes to college he will have
nothing at the end of the four years
but the experience and knowledge he
has gained there Is 1t worth lit
I have put this question squarely tt

ception they say that 1t is worth thu

or the money which he had barteret

from that standpoint they considered
that the chances were in favor Of tn

The boy who starts farming for him

against a good many snags which tn
