YOKE COLLAR AN ECONOMY
FrIIls and Ruffies Add Much to Ap.
pearAnce Of Gown, In Addition
to Other Worth.

Most economical are the yoke col
lars Of embroidered null and tucked
or plated point d'esprit and net. frill-
ed with lace. They are wide enough
to cover the shoulders and deep
enough to reach below the bust In
front and below the shoulder blades
IN the back, so that no other trimming
Is necessary for the gown. Cuffs and
sleeve frills are made to match. Flut-
ed white muslin frills give it crisp Of
freshness that proclaims them the
trimming above all others for a sum-
mer morning gown. A simple gray
cotton ratine morning frock Is made
attractive by a collar of black taffeta
with an overlap of white null finished
with hemstitched ruffle. The belt
is of taffeta to match.
Ruffies Of lace or tulle are worn
with the collarless blouse in the

generally decorated at one side with

Descend by Ladders.
We descend the remaining zoo feet

The noise is caused by the constant
running Of two sets of steel trucks
the one carrying the ground" from
the bottom Of the shoot" to the foot
Of the shaft, the other returning
empty-and the mechanical emptying
Of the full trucks into the skip for
conveyance to the surface.
We essay a conversation with the
checker stationed near the tip"
which is only managed by dint Of each
in turn shouting Mr., who In his
washen hours is well-known on tho
Diamond Fields as an eloquent advo-
cate of temperature principles. He
tells us, among other things, that &C
cidents are of almost daily occurance,
chiefly through falls Of ground" and
that the sight of native MANNED and
bleeding, being carried to the shaft, is

The native, however, takes It all as

4 mine-with space measure
ment at the surface OF IA
acres, and depth OF some 400 feet
There are, In addition to several small
er ones, four other enormous excava-
lions. all witnessing to the tireless en-
ergy Of men in hurry to be rich.
The diamonds are found In grey
rock called blue ground" which fills
a pipe" or natural shaft Of unknown
depth. widening towards the surface
into funnel shape. Below the few
feet of red sand on the surface comes
the yellow ground. "-lime-for fifty
or sixty feet.
Underneath that is the blue
ground" which, although the yellow
ground" iE not without diamonds, Is
the true diamond-bearing rock. Scien-
lists believe that these pipes" are
the craters Of extinct volcanoes, and
that at some time when the surround
ing country was under water, this dia-
mondiferous rock was forced up In the
form Of volcanic mud. How and when
and where the diamonds we're formed
remains mystery, but they are I'M
doubtedly Of earlier date than the
rock which encloses them

The first mining operations were re-
stricted to digging and scooping out

hole got wider and deeper. troubles
came In the shape of accumulation OF
water and falls of reef" In gold
mining the reef is the gold-bearing
rocks, but the reef" Of the diamond
mines is the surface shale and basalt

This was the cause Of great tribu-
lation to the early miners, as it caved
In again and again, and overwhelmed
those working below. After various ex-
pedients had been tried wtthiut per-
manent success. it became impossible
to work the mine any longer in the
old way, and many thought the In

The Keota Primary

Tuesdays election was quiet one in
Keota, az elsewhere in the state. The
vote was light. owing partly to the fact
that progressives, socialists and prohi-
bitionists took no part, partly to lack Of
interest. and largely to the extreme
busy season.
In all, 103 votes were cast, 81 of them
being republican, and 36 democratic.
This 10 counted an extremely good
showing for Keota precinct, as the vote
cast hero was considerably larger in
proportion to the normal for . general
election, than it was elsewhere in the
county and state. And what makes
the showing all the better is the fact
that most Of our citizens came here
from eastern states only two or three
years ago. and ~ . rule new citizens do
not have rs great interest in local poll
tics IS tho older residents have.
Lee Patty and w. X. Bowles were
republican judges, D. w. Schoonover
was republican clerk. and D. E. Byrns
and Fowler Hamilton were the demo-
cratic judge and clerk. They were kept
busy practically all Of Tuesday night
counting the vote. Unlike . general
election, there can be no straight tick
cts" cast at primary. which makes
the work Of tabulating the result moro
difficult.
In Briggsdale at closing time only
seventeen votes had been cast, five of
which were by the judges and clerks Of
the election.
