one Of. these two. In 1909 about
1000 diamonds were taken from
the fields.
The Arkansas Diamond company.
the most ambitious operator in the
field began explorations in the
latter part of 1909 by sinking a
number of prospecting pits and by
the erection of q small diamond
washing plant. BY March, 1910.
the little plant had taken out about
500 diamonds and the construction
of a larger pant was under con-
sideration.
The twenty-five stones belonging
to the Arkansas Diamond company
which have been cut are regarded
with high fav''r by those inter
ested. They arc all described as
very brilliant among them being
several fine blues and pure whites.
Among uncut stones is mentioned
one which is a pure white cres-
cent, for which the company has
been offered $l25 per carat.
Diamonds have been found in
several other states principally in
California. Two of these gems
were picked out of a rocker with
which man named George Stone
was washing gold in an old placer
and hydraulic mine at Cherokee
Flats, Butte county last year.
But Mr.. Stone was not a diamond
expert, and the stones were saved
merely because they were at
tractive. One of them was sold
for $40. 1t is stated that not less
than 200 diamonds have been taken
from the placer grounds at
Cherokee Flats and whereabouts.
AS interesting as any, however
are the diamond discoveries in
Indiana a state where it is rccog-
nized that anything may happen.
In 1908 stone weighing about
one carat was found by r. L. Royse
some distance north of Martins
vile. Morgan county and other
diamonds found in the same region
are till in the hands of the finders.

"At each table the clerk and

TAX ON INSURANCE DIVIDENDS.
Right Of Government to Levy Is Be-
ing Considered.

The question of levying the corporation
tax on the so-called dividends paid
policyholders by mutual and other par
ticipating' life insurance companies was
taken under advisement by Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Cabell yesterday
There is said to be $iO,OO0,000 paid In
such dividends yearly. which would
yield the government 100000 in revenue
if the corporation tax law We're applied.
The government has commended, that
these dividends represent earnings of the
companies and, as such. come within the
provisions of the law. The insurance
companies claim they are not profits. but
merely refunds to policyholders Of over
charges for insurance. 1t is declared that
the premiums on insurance are computed
at a rate higher. than the cost Of the in
surance, for the sake Of the safety of the
corporations, and these excess amounts
are later returned to the policyholders.
In other words. with the dividends de-
Quoted the policyholders receive their in
surance at cost, and there is no question
of earnings to the companies involved.
1t is an intricate question to which the
government has given several hearings
and received a number of briefs Mr..
Cabell expects to give his decision within
a few days. =
The same principle is involved in the
taxation of fire insurance companies un-
der the corporation law. After the life
insurance cases are disposed of Mr.. Cabell
will undertake to decide that of the fire
insurance concerns, who also have pro-
tested against the governments course.

CUMBERLAND, Md. November A.
The old Casselman mine at Garrett, bet
ter known as "Shoo-hy." was subme ged
yesterday. when millions of gallons Of
water that had collected in the mine
burst through the earth surface under
the Baltimore and Ohio siding near the
abandoned portion. The water has since
been flowing in great volume from the
mine to the river nearby.
Hundreds of acres are submerged in
the mine. which finally became so high
" charged with water that 1t veritably
lifted the lid from mother earth and
escaped to the surface and thence into
the river. This mine for many years
produced fuel for the Baltimore and Ohio
locomotives in transit east and west of
Garrett
The mine is now a vast subterranean
sea of several miles.
