est scientific mysteries.
From the top of the mountain one
gazes into bowl-like depression in
the earth 600 feet deep and mile
across. 1t is in appearance like vol
canic crater.
Scientists agree that this crater
marks the place where giant met
eorite, as large as the circumference OF
the bowl would indicate struck the
earth IN ages past, perhaps a million OF
years ago, and buried itself deep into
the bowels of the oarth-just how deep
it is the purpose Of the mining syndi-
cate 10 find out.
When this giant mass. struck the
earth there was no butte there; the
butte was created when the meteorite
struck, its tremendous weight displac-
ing strata Of rock, sending huge clouds
of dust into the air and forming the
mountain as it exists today.
After the meteorite sank into the
earth the sand and dust settled into
the depression The drift of ages sift-
ed over the edges Of the huge bowl and
assisted in the work Of covering the
meteorite.
But the most remarkable thing about
this meteorite, apart from its prodigi-
Gus size, is the fact that in all prob
ability it consists Of one huge diamond!
This is inferred from the fact that
numerous large fragments of the me-
eorite found in the crater, and which
are unusually heavy, were found, upon
investigation, to contain, besides me-
teoric iron, large, hard black diamonds
OF great value.
Even if the meteor itself consists
only of black diamonds its value would
be quite inconceivable, for a good black
diamond, though worthless as a gem,
is worth even more than white one
for mechanical purposes. 1t is quite
probable, however, that the bulk of
the meteor consists of white diamond,
in which event there would not be
enough money in the world to pay for
it at the current price of the precious
stone.
The largest diamonds n the world,
including the Koh-i-noor, tine Cullinan,
the Great Mogul of Russia, the Orioff,
the Great Premier diamond, the Tiffany
diamond, the Etolie Polaire, and doz-
en- others Of the same standard, worth
in the aggregate hundreds of millions
of dollars, might all be placed together
in an ordinary derby hat and not reach
the top. This meteoric diamond, scien-
fists believe, must be at least half a
mile thick! .-.

At Farmers Union Meeting, Declares
Cooperation Between Growers
and Capitalists 10 Assured.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Denver.-"Colorado will become the
center of the beet sugar industry Of
America; the industry will be revolu-
tionized and more than doubled by a
nationwide plan of cooperation be-
tween farmers and capitalists, backed
by a capitalization of $50.000,000 now
assured" declared e. U. Combs of
Brush. before the Colorado Education
al and Cooperative Farmers Union
In annual session here.
THE present annual output of Colo
RADIO sugar beets of $20,000,000 will
soon be increased to $50,000,000 by
the new plan OF cooperation of capital
and raw material The first factory
for the production of sugar is to be
in Greeley, although petitions from
twenty-six Colorado towns have been
received soliciting a factory for their
districts.
Patrick C. Calhoun. capitalist, Of
San Francisco and New York, is one
of the prime movers In this project.
which promises to become worldwide.
America consumes 100000 tons
of sugar annually: its output
amounts to but 100000 tons, or 13 per
cent. of the amount consumed. With
in fifteen years the United States will
produce an amount Of sugar equal to
its demand. and the sugar industry
will be one of the largest in the coun-
try"

CeXIon Tea.


Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly SIC, O,OO0,0OO in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main In
dustry, but after disease Of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however. re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
F!ant necessary to tea cultivation Is
costly. but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the ell
mate makes it irksome. What Is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch machinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents day. while foreman's
salary averages 5000 a month.-Har-

unpIeked Grapes Go to the Poor.

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.
A curious old law, which dates from
1873, has been used to sentence the
owner of vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers. France. to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property OF the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion. and the woman was
convicted.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary OF
State Knox was directed by President
Taft to reply to the request of Presi-
dent Francisco /. Madero of Mexico
for a definite statement of the policy
OF the United States toward Mexico.
The Cabinet, which was in session
for more than two hours, adjourning
at 12:40 o'clock, spent the time dis
cussing the terms of the reply.
Though no official statement was
given out 1t was declared that Secre-
tary Knox would state that the atti-
tude of this government would re-
main Just as 1t had been for the last
two years.
1t was stated that the note would

would there be any change in the
naval or military plans relating to
Mexico.

ness in the Mexican capital Sunday
after a truce which lasted only few
hours.
The armistice signed at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning by the representa-
tiyes of both sides, agreeing to sus-
pend operations for twenty-four hours,
was broken before noon.
Soon the sound of ncnvy cannonad-

troops to their posts in front of the

and that this time the battle would
be to finish.
President Madero reiterated his re-
fusal to comply with the suggestion o,
the senators that he resign. He de
clared that he still YVES able to dom'-
nate the situation and that II given
time he would crush the rebel forces.
