Efforts arc now belnc made to exploit the
diamond fields of 'Idaho , notwithstanding
the conclusive evidence furnished by disin
terested partite that the alleged diamonds
nre quartz crj stals. Idaho newspapers , have
drop | > cd Oivhco , but the boomers are quietly
endeavoring to work the credulous. An
other lot of the alleged diamonds were ro-
cclTed lu yew York recently. According to
the Sun "theywere diamonds , sure enoush.
They are not big diamonds of the sort that
arc cut and Mounted In gold settings , but
still they nre diamonds. That would be very
encouraging were It not for the fact thut
experts In New York City say the stones did
not come originally from Idaho or from any
part of this country. They are declared to
IHJ the unmistakable products of the Kimberley -
berley mines In Africa.
There are four diamonds in the lot. They
were sent to .1 D. Yfrrington , a dealer in
precious stones at KG Broadway , by friends
in IJolso City. These friends , who were
much interested in the alleged discovery
of diamonds in their neighborhood ,
have been corresponding \\itU Mr.
YeiTington. with the purposf of getting
accurate information ubout diamonds Sev
eral months ago they sent him a stone
which the > said had been given to them by
projectors , who declared it had been found
in the diamond basin near Holse City. 1 his
diamond was shown to New "i ork experts
who said it was u Kimbcrley stone. This did
not shake the faith of Mr Ycrrington's cor-
resDonacnts. who thought there might have
been sotno mistake about the Undine of that
particular stone. So two or three days ago
they scut on four more , wbii-h they were
euro had been found in the bed of the Snake
river , in the diamond basin.
Tliry Cnme from Africa.
Mr Yernngton turned these stoues over
to Hcnnan I cvy of iil John street , who is an
expert in rough stones. Mr Lvy returned
them with the report that they were
real diamonds of the fragmentary variety
known a bortz , but that they could not have
been found in the bwl of any river , and that
they bore unmistakable evidence of having
first seen the llnht of day In South Africa.
Mr Ixvy said to a reporter of the Sun-
"They were Kunborley bortz , got by blasting
the rorka of the African diamond fields
Bortr is imperfectly crystalized diamond ,
und is used for grinding and glass cutting.
It is worth only $1 50 a carat ' '
"How do you know that these stones were
found in Africa ? "
"It is difficult to explain , " said Mr. Levy ,
"but an expert will never make a mistake.
It is iK > ssible to tell a Kimbcrley stone beyond
the suspicion of n doubt. 1 nm willing to
stake my professional reputation that those
Btones were blasted at Kimbcrley. Mr.
Yerriugton s correspondents told him
that thev were found in the bed
of the Suako river The statement is
ridiculous Diamonds found in the Is
of rivers and in the soil along their
Ira
banks invariably show smooth faces and a
tnore or less regular crystallization. The
diamonds submitted by Mr. Ycrrington had
Bhattcrod faces and little crystallization
Thev loi-o jMjsitivo marks of having been
blasted from the rocks. Here , 1 can show
vouhundicdsllke them In this box of Kimberley -
berley bortz. Mr. Ycrringtoii's diamonds
were Just us rough and Irregular as any of
these. "
"How , then , did they como to be found at
Bolso City ? "
Salted Section.
"You will have to answer that question
for yourself , " said Mr. Ixivy , smiling. "I
won't undertake to say that the Boise City
diamond basin is salted. All I will say is
that' have seen and examined every stpno
vrhlch hus reached town from that region ,
and I have yet to see a genuine diamond
which could have originated there. Four
lots have como hero. The llrst which
arrived five or six months ago , contained
one stone which was as certainly n
Klmbcrloy diamond as these which I have in
this box. The next Jot contained eight :
Moues , all of which wcro quartz crystals.
Then came the live which Mr. Fox examined.
Thcso were the first arrivals which were
made public. They wcro soft quartz crys
tals. Last came these fragments of Kim-
fcerlov bortz. These alleged diamond fields
liavo'been known for several months. If
i they have any genuine stones to show , why
don't we sec them ? I was to have gone out
to examine the Jlelds , but I thought I would
vail developments. I have lost all iny faith
in them now. "
The general belief in Maiden lane is that
the fields huvo been "salted" with cheap
Kimbcrley bortz. Enough of this could i bo
bought for $10.000 to create a substantial
diamond boom if Judiciously distributed In
places to which diamond hunters could be
directed. The usual objoct-of such a scheme :
is to sell the lands at high figures. Several
sales of lauds in the Idaho basin have been
reported recently.
In Maiden lane the dealers also think it
significant that the company which has been
formed to exploit the alleged mines should .
bell Its stock at $10 a share. They say that
if the discoveries were genuine the stock
would be held at f 100 or f 1,000 a share , and
would ba hard to get. The company is send
ing circulars all over the country advertising
its stock. It is capitalized at $1,000,000.

With the passage of a pending bill In con
gress ratifying the purchase of the Cherokee )
outlet , the go\ eminent will have completed
an extraordinary series of Indian reserva
tion reductions and added millions of acres
to the public domain.
During the last four years preat tracts
have been bought by the government of the
Sioux in Dakota , the Cliippowas in Minnesota
seta , the Crows in Montana , the Colvillcs in
"Washington , the Port Berthold Indians i in
i ' „ North Dakota , the SIssetons and Wuhpetons
"la South Dakota , and the Cumr d'Alencs In
Idaho. In Indian Territory , meanwhile ,
other vast areas have been acquired
from the Crooks and Seminoles , the
Cheyennes nnd Arapatioes , the Cherokees ,
the Choctaws nud Chickasaws , and
the Klowas , Comauches und Apaches , bo-
Bides smaller ones from the Wlchltas , the
lowus , the Kickaiwos , the Tonkawas. the
Sacs and Foxes , the Pottawatomles and the
Absentee Shawnees.
The land already finally parted with by
the Indians under these agreements exceeds :
apparently 'il.OOO.OOO acres The agreements
executed , und only u waiting the approval of
congress , will apparently swell the total to
wore than SiiOO,000 ( acres , or fully f.0.000 (

Both In its historical and commercial as-
l > wts the entrance to the Columbia river de
serves attention. The Columbia Is an im
portant stream in the commerce of the Pa
cific const more Important than all others
combined , savs a writer In the Callforman.
This fact has been recognlred by the gov
ernment , which has expended large sums to
render the entrance passable for the deepest
draught vesbels , and to remove the obstruc
tions farther up the stream that prevent its
continuous navigation from the great
producing interior to the ocean.
The river enters a broad bay ,
or inward curve of the ocean , and is at
Its mouth un estuary ten miles wide , so that
It has no appearance of being the mouth of a
river , wncu viewed from the deck of a vessel
approaching It from the open ocean. On Ihe
north Is Cape Iluncock , a bold headland
called by the English navigators "Capo Dis
appointment , " and by the Snaniards "Cabo
de San Koc. " A low iwlnt , terminating in
a sand spit , encloses it at the south , called
Point Adams. " though named "Cabo do
Frondciso" by the Spaniards. Although for
jears before'the Columbia was discovered It
was believed that a mighty river flowed
from the Hocky mountains westward to the
Pacilic in that latitude , the bay-like appear
ance of its mouth prevented its discovery hy
even such n famous and energetic explorer
as Captain Vancouver , who visited
it in 1TG ( for the purpose of ascertaining
whether a river really did exist there , and
went awaj firmly convinced that such was
not the case. Heceta , u Spanish explorer ,
passed it by in 177. > and named it "Encenadu
do Asuncion" ( Assumption inlet. ) Although
he made no attempt to enter it , he gave it as
his opinion that a river existed there , und
Spanish maps thereafter marked the mouth
of a river there and called it "Encenada de
Heceta" and the "Hio de San Hoc. " A few
davs after Vancouver turned away in disap
pointment. Captain Robert Gray. In the
American ship Columbia , on the llth day of
May , 17U3 , crossed the bar and safely an
chored in the broad estuary ten miles above.
Ho remained in the river nine days , ascend
ing it twenty-live miles , bestowed upon itlho
name of his vessel , pave Iho two capes the
names they bear , and then sailed north on a
fur trading voyage. Thus to an American
belongs the honor of the actual discovery.

Tacoma capitalists have organized a com
pany to extract gold from the sands of the
Pacific ocean along the coast of Washington.
The company has bought from Judge Briscoe
of Oystervillo , Pacific county , the right tool
extract gold from the sand in Beard's Hol
low , near Ilwaco , and has secured similar
rights on other parts of the Pacific coast ,
Gold has been found lu the sand of the
ocean beach at many places from the Straits
of Juan do Fuca to southern California , but >
only In occasional stretches Is It In sufficient !
quantities to make It pay for working. It is
supiwsoa lo come not from the land , but to bo
washed up from some hidden reef lu the bed
of the sea. For many years the Indians have
been in the habit of washing gold from the
sand spit at the entrance of Port Angeles
harbor. The beach on the ocean side of
Washington has been thoroughly prospected
and the yellow metal was found everywhere.
At Beards Hollow there are said to be two
gold-beiirlng strata , one thirteen inches
below the surface and nine Inches thick and
the other thirty inches below and eighteen
inches thick , Platinum und rhodium are
also found lu paying quantities. The com
pany contracts to give Mr. Briicoe one-sixth
of all the gold extracted and 5 rents per
cubic yard for magnetic black sand. It will
build a tramway along the beach , ready for
active operation in the spring. Similar opera
tions are being carried on in southern Cali
fornia , where exclusive rights have been se
cured. Leases have been made of Gold
Beach in southern Oregon , which is ten
miles long ; of Seal Hocks at the D of
Yiiquina bay , Oregon , and of the beach at
Petersons Point at the entrance of Gray's
harbor.

nartford Times : The boys who had
witiies-cd shows from the gallery of the
gods chuckled over the paradoxical fact
that in coming down one btory they had
riben a dozen rungs in the social ladder ,
and the girls , well , thtfy laid their wraps
of the front railing of the balcony with
an air that indicated that they had been
sitting in the e very scats all the years
of their young lives. In one thing they
did set an example for borne of their
older bisters who frequent the theater.
Not ono of the laughing little ones wore
a hat that the binalleot boy could not bee
over.
The way every one of them entered 1
into the spirit of the play was a caution.
They bhed tears of sympathy over the
wrongs of a wife who was the victim of
conspiracy ; they shared the sufferings
of an unjustly accu-cd husband ; they
hurled denunciatory his es at the vil
lains ; they roared aKthe moro or less
funny remarks of the comedian , threw
kib es at the ingenue and got excited
over the startling scenic transforma
tions.
The burning of the prison in the second
act was too much for young Prank But
ler. The moment Frank baw the blaze
of red fire , followed by a collapsing wall | , I
he leaped over the back railing , boized |
his smaller brother by the arm and ;
yelled :
"Come on quick , George , do house is
on fire ! "
A policeman prevented Frank from ! '
rushing out of the house , and it was only
when the curtain fell and the boys began
to cheer that the youngster climbed
back into his beat and hauled his little
brother in after him.
Dinny McFadden kept tabs on the play

Jewish Colonization.
The Jewish Colonization association's
first report of the progress thus far
made in settling Jewish refugees , chiefly
from Russia , in hospitable lands , shows
that up to the 20th of last September
some . ,109,000 of the original capital of
3i2,000,000 hud been expended , half of it
in the purchase of land and the other
half in the settlement of families on the ,
land. The colonies have chiefly been :
established in the Argentine republic ,
Ono ( has been formed in Canada. In all
330,000 acres of land havebeen purchased ,
and about 1,000 families have been set-
led. The council of the assoeia-
ion believes the undertaking
can be made self-supporting and
established on a financially sound basis.
? ivo hundred families will henceforth bo
settled every year , and it is red
that when the success of the scheme : is
clear there will be a large emigration lof
self-supporting families. Each of the
families settled by the association re
ceives 100 acres and jElCO for buildings ,
[ ilant , etc. , which they are expected to
repay in ten vears. Comment is made
that , while all this is excellent , Baron
Hirsch's noble scheme can make scarcely :
a perceptible impression on the mass of
Jo wish .distress in Russia. It would take ,
it is urged , an emigration of 50,000 Jews
a year merely to keep down the natural
increment of population , if calculated i
only at 1 per cent per annum.
A Kuunlnc .Mule.
Maine , a mule that draws cars at the
breaker of a Lackawanna Valley coal
mine , keeps closer truck of the time than
the men , frays a Scranton , Pa. , letter. A
minute or so before the whistle blows at
noon Maine begins to bray and paw and
stamp , but docs not refuse to pull the
cars. The instant the whistle sounds ,
however , Mamo comes to a dead stop ,
and no matter in what part of the yard
she is working she cannot bo coaxed I or
forced to pull a pound until after she
has had her dinner. Then she works : as
faithfully as an ox until just before the
whistle ib going to sound the quitting
time blast , when she brays again , but
does not paw or stamp as at noon time.
She won't stir a peg after the first toot
of the steam whistlct and the driver boy
knows bettor than to try to make her
haul the trip of cafe by whipping her.
The mule keep-5 suti < a close track of : the
time that she has not failed in two years
to bray a minute or two before the
whistle blows at noon or night. She

- i Think of inhaling this steam
and these odor's from a tub
of dirty clothing ; perhaps from
the sick room , perhaps much
soiled from honest labor.
Think of the weak lungs , and
throat , the germs of disease ; ,
etc. , etc. It's all so unneces :
sary and so ineffective. The
clothes are not as clean ( surely not as
pure ) as they ought to
be , when the work is done.
Boil your clothes in Pearline and water directions on

dirt cannot stay , and the hard work
, the drudgery , is done

"I'll wager an oyster supper for the
party , " said one of a group of gentlemen
conversing together recently at a first
clans hotel , "that three out of five men
who register between this and S o'clock
display some secret bociety badge upon
their persons.1
'JJ11 go you , " said one , and it was
agreed thaVthe throe should sit within
easy distance of the register each keep
ing'tally.
"Hero comes our first contingent ,
said the first speaker as the omnibus
deposited a bcoro of commercial tourists ,
retired capitalists and private citizens
at the hotel entrance.
"Look sharp , now , for I am booked to
win , " said the man proposing the wager.
"Tally three , will you1 ' as the first lot
turned away from the register.
"Throe for me , " said the oppo-itlon as
the next three wrote their names. "I'm
sure to win. "
"Not so fast , my friend , " said the first
speaker as six out of the next seven
registcrcrs displayed Masonic emblems
of different degrees.
A close watch was kept for the next
thirty minutes , during which twenty-
two Ivnights Templar , thirteen Knights
of Pvthius. eight Odd Fellow and sev-
'
eral'otlier budges of different organiza
tions were counted , the winner gaining
his wager by twelve point * .
"I've counted them scores of times , "
said the winner , 'Sand it wins five out of
seven times. It don't carry in smaller
hotels because they have u different
class of patrons , but put it down as a
sure thing that all large hotels are fav
ored . with the patronage of sc rct so-
ciety men. "

A Standard Specific Homody for any disease or class of diseases is never
an experiment. It passes the stage of ciperiment in becoming nn ncknowledgcd
standard preparation. Ithcumntio remedies of less
more or or no merit ere on
the market. Ono or two swindling "substitutes" are offered eneakingly through
the mails.Since the
- introduction of this invaluable
specific remedy other pre
parations claiming to cure rheumatism nnd neunJgin have appeared. Much
money has been spent advertising them. All sorts of methods me used to imluco
the public to buy them. Still , the tnule from Portland , Maine , to Portland ,
Oregon , says that not ono of them can compare with Ath-lo-pho-ros.
Ath-lo-pho-ros is not n makeshift , a cure-all , a counter-irritant or n mcro tem
porary alleviation , as are the 1001 liniments , "sarsapnrillas , " pills and potions
offered to the gullible for this , that and everything. But it is a specifio remedy
for Ilhcumatism , Neuralgia , Sciatica nnd nil diseases which proceed from the
rheumatic diathesis. It has been before the public for moro than twelve years
under its present proprietorship , though it has been usd in medical practice for
a much longer time. It is the strictly facicutifio preparation of a medical practi
tioner who for many years uns so eminent us a specialist in rheumatic troubles
that he had como to bo regarded ns having almost miraculous power over them.
It is absolutely harmless , both as to its several ingredients and as to their com-
bination. It docs ono thing nud ono only it "knocks out" rheumatism , neuralgia
arid sciatica and all the pretense euro-alls.
