What We Say 1t Is IT Is
Diamond Prices
Are Fixed For
Many Years Ahead

The London Syndicate controlling
98 per cent. of the worlds supply of
Diamonds has fixed the price of stones
to cutters for many years to come.
This concern, knowing that Diamond
mining becomes more expensive and
the percentage of fine quality large
stones decreases constantly, has dis
counted the future by fixing prices so
that each sale brings a higher price
In 20 years this increase has amounted
to about 200 per cent.
The one thing the Syndicate did not
foresee was the present war, which
has stopped Diamond mining com
pletely. Consequently the Syndicate
stopped selling. When it resumes
sales, prices will be higher than ever.
1t is this condition that makes the
'Diener Grow a Diamond" plan espe-
cially advantageous to Diamond buy
ers. Come in and let us explain.

Immense Output Follows Discov- < !ery of Metal in California.
For Eleven Years, From 1850 to 1861, v the Yield Was prodigious, Amount ing in 1852 to Over
 $65,OOO,OOO

Washington. historically i'm portant discovery of gold in California was made in January, 1S4S, at John Suffers mill on South Fork of Ameri- can river, near Coloma, a point only ten or fifteen miles southwest of the town of Auburn,' says a statement by the geological survey.
 Prom 1850 to 1853 the greatest yield was derived from the gravels, and the largest annual output for this period was more than S65, ,000,000 in 1852. There was some reaction in 1854, due to previous wild speculation, but production of about $50,000,00O a year, chiefly from placer mines, was maintained up to 1861.
 At first the gold was won chiefly from the gravels along the present streams. Those who first got posses sion of the rich bars on American. Yuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers and some. of the smaller streams in the heart of the gold region made at times from $1 ,000 to $5,00O a day. In 1S4S $500 to $70O day was not un- usual luck; but, on the other hand the income of the great majority of miners was far less than that of men who seriously devoted themselves to trade or even to common labor.
 "The gold pan. the rocker the tom the sluice and the hydraulic giant, or monitor named in the order of increasing efficiency, were the tools successively used by the miners. into the rocker and the tom the miner shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the machine as he poured in water and catching the gold, often with the aid of quicksilver, on rifles set across the bottom of his box. Sometimes stream was diverted into Hume to lay bare the gravel in it's bed so that the miner could get at it.
 "In sluicing, the gravel was shov- eled into similar but much longer box through which stream of water was allowed to run
 "1he hydraulic giant was employed to wash into long riffle-set sluices inn mense quantities of gravel, especially from the higher (Tertiary) deposits, much of which was too lean to work out by hand. Water was brought for many miles ill ditches and fumes from the high Sierra and conducted under great head to a nozzle, from which it was projected with tremendous force against the gravel
 Ut was the vast quantity of refuse washed into the streams by these hy- draulic operations that brought about the conflict between mining and agri- cultural interests, finally decided in favor of the iarmers.' 5

MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS
Scarcity of Engineers Shown at Co., lumbia University Since Out
 break of War. T.

New York.-Since the outbreak of the war and the resulting increase in chemical projects in this country the demand for chemical engineers has grown so rapidly that the companies are finding 1t difficult to fill the many places that are now opan.
 Indication of this was given at Co., lumbia university when Dean Fred ericll A. Goetze of the graduate en- gineering school reported that he had received a call from a mining com pany for several chemical engineers familiar with the iron and steel in. dustry, but that he has been unable to find any of the recent graduates who were not already we'll placed. 7

Denver.-For the first time in the history of the Denver county court the will of man of whose death there is no record has been lodged with the clerk of the court. It may be- come necessary to have the maker, George T. Sheets, declared legally dead before the instrument is offered for probate.
 Sheets, a contractor, made the will in 1893. He was then seventy-two years old. A year later he disap- peared. The family did not know Of the existence of the will until a few days ago, when Attorney Edwin Parke discovered the document in his safe. Parke turned it over to the clerk of the court.

Washington.-The blockade of the Panama canal by earth slides has not created new work for Americans in the Canal Zone, and the canal office here issued a statement in an effort to counteract published reports which have drawn many Americans to the isthmus in search of employment
 General Goethals indicates" the statement says, that the number of men continually being laid off on ac- count of reduction of force is in excess of the vacancies which were temporar- fly created by the work on the slides, and the influx of men looking for enl- ployment on the isthmus is entirely un- warranted"

MAKING MEAT SAFE IN BAYS .0F G0[Df
Sixty Per Cent Killed Under Fed
 s.:;s ;s.ss..s eral Inspection. <
Hundred Million Meat Animals sIaugh. ! tered Each Year in Uniteh States
 aa, -TubercuIosis Is Chief Cause
 of Condemnation.

shington.-Morc than 5S,O00, 900 meat animals were slaughtered in es- tablishments under federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Since approximately from 5S to 50 per cent of the animals killed in the country are slaughtered in estab- Ishments where federal inspection is maintained, it appears that about 100,- 000,000 meat animals are now being
 Of the animals subjected to federal inspection, 299,95S were condemned as unfit for human use, and 644, ,6SS were condemned in part. Thus little more than 11@ per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in clude only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and swine.
 Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More than 32. 2.G44 carcasses of cattle and 6G,0O0 car casses of swine were entirely rejected dition, parts of 48,000 cattle and 4O,Q0O swine. Hog cholera was responsible for the next largest loss, nearly 102,- 900 swine being condemned entirely on this-account. @
 The annual appropriation for the fed eral meat inspection service is now about $3,375, ,000, so that the cost to the people would be between and cents per animal and carcasses. In addition, however, great quantities of the meat and prOdu0ts are re-inspected. In this item there was very considerable in- crease during the last fiscal year, the re-inspection resulting in the condem- nation of a, total of nearly 19,000,000 pounds of products of one kind or another. Furthermore s245,000,000 pounds of imported meat or meat prod ucts were inspected. and more than 100000 pounds condemned or refused entry.
 In the course of it's work. the bu- reau of animal industry, which is in charge of the meat inspection service, has discovered. 8 new method of de- stroying trichinae in pork, which is an additional safeguard to human
 
 health. Refrigeration at tempera- ture of 5 degrees, F., or lower, for period of 20 days. will destroy these parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious dis ease known as trichinosis. Hitherto the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cooking of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been. subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thor oughly cooked. The microscopic ex- animation of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned as the usual methods have proved inefficient.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaughtered in the past year in establishments un- der federal inspection than ever be- fore. A total of 36,247,953 were in- spected at the time of slaughter and approximately S5,soO,OOO passed for food.
