any part In 1t. However, after reading
Janin's favorable report and sNeing the
great excitement caused by il among
the people, and becoming convinced Of
the genuineness OF the discovery, and
seeing that the people Of California
were sending their money from San
Francisco to New York to purchase
this stock, and having an eye to busi-
ness, he telegraphed the parties in New
York that II they would bring the cor
poration headquarters to San Francis
co, he would aii them to raise the
money.
This proposition was Immediately ac-
cepted. They all returned to San Fran
cisco and formed a company under the
laws of California, called the San
Francisco and New York Mining and
Commercial company. Ralston, Lath-
an and other San Francisco capitalists
subscribed s5O0,OOO and the same was
paid to Arnold, one Of the original dis
coverers. With this handsome sum the
two prospectors hiked out for parts
unknown. All the parties interested,
with the exception OF Ralston, were in
favor Of disposing OF one-half of the
capital stock at $40 per share, which
the public was ready, willing and anx-
ious to take at that price.
This would have amounted TO $1,000
900, the capital agreed upon being
10,OO0.000. Mr.. Ralston, who was an
honest man, objected to any portion be-
ing placed with the public. although he

that II was ON the site OF Shakespeare.
Thomas Il. Parish. the noted mining
expert, has told the story graphically
In the Arizona Mining Journal, and as
he says, the "Great Diamond swindle"
goes down In history as one of the
greatest frauds ever perpetrated in
mining on this continent. The time
was ripe for the staging Of such an
outrage. The whole country was ex-
cited over mining and during the days
Of the old Comstock Bononza mining
days, when everybody was eager to In

In 1870, two prospectors, named Arm
old and Slack, claiming TO hail from
the desert regions OF Arizona and New
Mexico, then harrassed by the savage
and bloodthirsty Apaches, brought
with them some quartz crystals which
they thought to be diamonds and some

The Most Welcome ire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate Supeatue Values Prefer The BRUNSWICK

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Bruncwick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
cern-noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skiInping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man
Deming graphic., 1920-07-13

among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is a master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick dircc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is a combi-
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire, the like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of a tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than ike-type tires.

T PRISON DINNER.

U he helped prepare the bounti-
full Thanksgiving dinner for the
prisoners in the 'Hennepin county Jail,
and since he knew what was in store
for the jail's populace on that day,
Earl Howard, a prisoner, asked that
his sentence be delayed day, fol-
lowing his arraignment November "a,
upon his pleading guilty, that. he
might partake Of the day of feast.
The Judge granted his wish.
Prior to his arraignment Howard
had worked in the county Jail as a
trustee and the week before Thanks
giving was given kitchen duty.
Asked If he had anything to say
following his sentence to the state
reformatory after he pleaded guilty,
the prisoner remarked:
well, it's this way. I've been
working all week in the kitchen up
stairs fixing up a swell dinner for
Thanksgiving. If I go to st. Cloud
today, I miss that feed. 1 want to
know If i can't stay here until Fri
day."
The judge allowed him to remain in
the county Jail for an additional day
