PRICE OF SPARKS TO BE DOUBLED Operation * of the Combine In Ile- trlctlnct flic Output on the Umml Tru t I'lnn AniiuliiK Itciiotircc. of Ulnmond Thieve. . Th prices of diamonds are going up , and Jhla Is why : Ono day , about ten years ego , Barney Barnato , who began llfo In South Africa * a ft poddlcr of cheap Jewelry and ended It ( by hU own act ) na tbo diamond king , proposed to Cecil Rhodes that they put all the diamonds at Klmbcrly In a pall. "Oood enough , " said the continent grab ber. "Pour them In. I'd llko to sco how they look. " Barnato placed a largo bucket on oao of the sorting tables In the main office and Into that dumped all the rough diamonds that had been mined during the year 18S9. ffhey filled It io the brim. "Now , " ho eald , "I'll buy that bucket of Ulamonds from you , Ilhodes , Just as they ftro , unsortod. " The two quickly agreed upon a prlco anil then aod thcro was laid the foundation of the famous diamond syndicate which Is now attracting the attention of the gem-wear ing public , for when Barnato packed up the atones and shipped thorn to London and ( Amsterdam It required the exports there three months to accomplish the sorting and in that period diamonds became eo scarce ] on the market that they began to bring < fancy prices. Mr. Hhodes , who can awaken to suck an opportunity without being roughly Jolted , saw It was a good thing and slnco then his syndicate has been Ibuylng up the Klmbcrly diamond crop Inj advance , doling out the stones as It sees fit. I The product Is now arranged for until < June , 1900 , nnd If the demand for the sparkling - I ling baubles continues to Increase no ono j con say what diamonds will bo worth a year from now , The Do Beers Consolidated Jllnco company has the world at Its mercy. Mot enough diamonds are produced In Bra- til , Australia and other scattered localities to supply the demand of the city of Phila delphia alono. The Jewelers of Maiden Lane eay the market value of stones Is already 40 per cent higher than It was a year ago , with Indications that the high water mark baa not been reached. Every few weeks the syndicate makes a 10 per cent advance and the buyers must pay it or leave their man whom the directors ot the company hold responsible for KB prosperity Is not Cecil J. Rhodes. He In not even an Englishman , but n thorough , whole-souled American , who. him displayed nuch wonderful managerial talent that the stockholders look to him , as It wore , for their yearly dividends. Gardner F. Williams , though comparatively unknown in this country , la ono of the few prominent characters In South Africa , for ho is head and front of the diamond indus try and has metamorphosed the town of Klmbcrly from a straggling settlement Into a model city. Ho is so greatly valued by the Do Bcora company that ho Is given carte blanche in the management of the mines and no ono over questions his actions. He has often requested them to accept his resignation , but on each occasion the di rectors Increase his salary forihlm to re main. As for Mr. Rhodes , ho alldom comes to Klmberly these days and makes what ever suggestions ho hns by letter. Ills last Instructions wore to doorcase the output for the next twelve months , which will accord ingly bo done. ( Mr. Williams Is about CO years old , of Im- it wia found that many diamonds were being filched and It transpired that the boys stole them In the mines , con cealed them until they got In the com pound and thtti pitched them over the fence to a confedcrato In the street. Mr. Wil liams thereupon had the entire compound roofed with wire netting and this terminated the thefts ot that eort. There la very little opportunity these days for a native to dispose of n gom. Ho Is never permitted to leave this compound nnd when hla time ot scrvlco Is approaching ho is kept for two weeks In a special cctn- partment absolutely naked along with fifty or sixty brothers. If the boy has con cealed In his anatomy somewhere a precious stone It Is bound to make Its appearance by that time. A surgeon goes over each hey every two days and If ho looks sick puts him through n sort of third degree that generally elicits a diamond or two. The company recovers about JC400,000 worth of diamonds In a year from the natlvo em ployes In this wajr , The boys in the compound are a Jolly lot.

In Kimberly - borly ho la the whole show , to use the miners' description. His ambition is to es tablish a city where each man will own his own homo and make enough money to llvo in comfort. To this end ho has begun a model village on the outsklrt of Klmberly , which is called Kenllworlh. Here there are beautiful cottages , built with the best sani tary arrangements , which the employes can rent for 2 pounds 10 shillings per month and purchase on Installments. Thcro are special buildings for bachelors and an excellent club house , with billiard rooms , library and all the other appointments. The village la sent a sullen appearance and look like mur derers.

J threaded by white driveways , flanked with eucalyptus oak , cypress and pine trees. Making a model town , however , has been only a small part of this enterprising Amer ican's service * to the De Beers company. Every day he goes over the three mines now being operated , namely , the Klmberly , De Beers and the Premier. The Bultfonteln and Dutoltspan , though controlled by the company , are not worked. Ho visits the convict station , the various departments of each mine , practically handles every diamond mend shipped from the country , and in gen eral takes care of his "family , " which con sists of 11,000 native Africans and 2,000 white minors. niKClnfc for the Gem * . Mining diamonds requires more kinds of attention than any other Industry and Mr Williams has his -work cut out for hlra. Ho knowa exactly how many "loads" ore hauled out each day and how many feet of blue earth have been excavated. This blue clay Is the home of the diamond. It runs in veins and the process Is to sink a shaft and "blast " along levels at distances regulated no that ono will not toll through on another below. The Do Becro mine has now been carried down to and beyond 1,400 feet and the Klmberly to 1,300 feet. The Premier is less rich than these two , but has a larger area and U very easily worked , so that a much lower cost of production compensates for a smaller yield. The amount of blue ground reported as in sight was estimated at that time as 5,000,000 loads In tbo Do Beers and 4,000,000 in the Klmberly ; while In the Premier there were 2,750,000 loads above the 125-foot level and 4,000,000 , loads brought to view by further ex ploration to 1C7 feet , In all 0,275,000 loads. The total In the three mines would thus bo over 15,000,000 loads. That Is enough to keep them busy at Klmberly for five years , but Mr. Rhodes is cautious and advocates a constant diminution in the yearly output for fear that this vein of blue ground may sud denly bo exhausted and humanity deprived ot its supply of diamonds. Wiitulitnu for Thieve * . Ho has also instructed Mr. Williams to tighten the watch against diamond thieving , for when the employes leara that the stones have Increased In value nearly one-half there is euro to lx > nn outbreak In. that direction , which the Illicit diamond buyers will take advantage of. Although the I. D. I ) , traffic has been sup pressed to a great extent , the Klmberly de tectives are kept very busy , and the sur geons nt the hospital in the compound have plenty ot sore legs to bandage. While visit- ing there recently I saw a Matabelo boy dying of lockjaw caused by a terrible wound in his right leg. Ho had cut open the calf und concealed ) a diamond weighing fifty- two 'carats ' in the flesh. This seems to bo the ifavorlto place of concealment. Formerly the boys did a thriving business by swallowing the diamonds mends , but Mr. Williams has put a stop to that by penning up these 11,000 natives in ono great Inclcsuro callol the compound , and it is eafo to say that no such a habita tion Hka this is to bo found on the face of the earth. It Is built in the form of a square and includes about five acres. Along each side of the square are built ono-story corrugated iron buildings divided Into rooms holding twenty natives each. 'A high Iron fencela erected around the compound , ten foot from the building , and guards armed -vrtth Martini rifles patrol thereabout. Even -with - this arrangement , however , through the streets , surrounded by a regl- mont of guards. One entire section is made up of Americans , and among them is the son of an ex-congressman and the scion of a famous Now Orleans family. I To bo a successful diamond thief , therefore - ' fore , requires the utmost cleverness , but the detectives at Klmbeirly will tell you of many Instances -when they have been out witted , An American from Chicago , who owns a saloon in Johannesburg , -wears on his ehlrt bosom one of the finest stones to be seen on the Rand , and glories In Celling how he boat the Klmberly sleuths by feed ing the diamond In a bunch of hay to his horse.

' Another man e ° t ahead ) of the detectives by loading his gun wltb about 130 carats. Suspicion rested on him and he was fol lowed , but escaped detection by firing the charge into nn ox. When the detectives left he cut out the stones and made for the Transvaal , which Is the haven of the I. D. B. men. A great many diamonds havs been stolen by feeding them to chickens and. shipping the latter to Johannesburg. America has proved a bonanza for Mr. Rhodes and hla syndicate. It Is chiefly ow ing to our Increased demand that the prices have been raised ! . Mr. George F , Kunz , the Tiffany expert , who knows more about diamonds mends than anyone else In America , has Just completed bis annual report on the pro duction of precious stones in the year 1SD8 for the Department o-f tbo Interior- United States geological survey , and therein predicts that the year 1900 will chronicle the greatest importation into the United States that has ever been known and a further advance In prices. Fortune * Spent til Truclui ; niiiiiioiulM. In the meantime mineralogists are won dering if America may not do much toward breaking the combine's pover by supplying new diamond fields. The newspapers for five or clx years hove occasionally printed the announcement that n fine diamond had been found near Milwaukee , In Wisconsin. Those ntorlon have been regarded by the public ns of no particular Importance , but not so by the mineralogists. From all over the world experts have como to study that field. The way In which the stones have turned up hns been mysterious. Diamonds arc the rceult of certain definite geological processes. They are the product of enormous heat and stupendous pressure , both brought to bear upon carbon nt the satno time and crystallizing It. The I geographical formations In which this curl- oun process has gone on are known as chimneys , They nro re.illy comparatively small vents through which .enormous quan tities of matter have been expelled quickly by means of some volcanic convulsion within I the earth. Mother nature In pushing a great ' quantity of practically molten matter con taining carbon through n hole too pmall for It brought nbout those two necessary condi tions for the production of diamonds heat and pressure. But geologists , when they went to locall- ties where diamonds had hcon found in Wisconsin , were puzzled by the fact that no formation of the chimney kind existed nny- where about. It was finally decided that the stones must have been 'brought ' from some great distance by a glacier which dropped them when It melted. Ono of the great Jewelry firms in Now York sent its cele brated expert to Wisconsin to study the course of this glacier , hoping to find chim neys at the point where It etarted. This ex pert did trace the glacier and thcro found a chimney , Thcro was only me , nnd it had been worked out. Facts indicated that this was done by a German mineralogist who was known to have been In that locality some years before. Ho had quietly worked out the chimney , taken what stones ho found , and finding no other diamond-bearing spots , had gone back to Germany , saying nothing to anyone ot his find. Tiffany & Co. alone spent thousands of dollars In studying the so-called Mil waukee fields , but have nt last abandoned the enterprise. It Is by no means certain , however , that In America will not be found diamond fields of enormous richness. Geol ogists and mineralogists agree that nowhere else on earth exist conditions more likely I to develop diamond-producing formations. J An Intelligent scientific search for these diamond mend fields , which scientists believe are hld- I den somewhere on this continent , Is conj - j tlnually going on and some day we may all wnko up nnd find that the Klondike craze was nothing to the diamond craze which will then exist. IN THE WHEELING WORLD. An opportunity presents Itself to the hu mane to supplement the eocletics for the prevention of cruelty to children and to animals with a strong ono for the protection of adults on wheels. The foolklller Is not equal to the emergency. No other field af fords greater Inducement for humane en deavor , coupled with a stout club , than that devoted to record smashing. Some of the performances on wheels are the refinement of cruelty. In most Instances they are prompted by mercenaries ; In a few cases by a desire for a record and notoriety. No good is subserved In either case , and some means other than that attributed to provi dence ought to bo enforced to protect the feeble-minded from their fool friends. The most recent example of wheeling folly Is the case of Miss Jane C. Yatman , a New York woman , who set herself the task of riding 700 miles In continuous centuries in less than eighty-four hours and finished her task on the morning of the 20th , a physical wreck. She rode the last forty-flvo miles under protest of every sense she had and completed what she had undertaken only be cause friends urt.d her on. Her condition , however , was not duo to the last century or the last half of it , tout to self neglect , consequent upon her Independence. She scorned the ordinary care of a trainer or handler that athletes employ and started off on her own account. She left her place of business ono afternoon and started out a few hours later to satisfy herself In her belief that ehe could ride seven centuries In eight-four hours without engaging any man or woman to systematically advise or instruct her. She took the advice.of the score and more of Inexperienced riders who were very wining io neip ucr BO jur uu BUI- tlng the pace and giving what they thought was good advice. But the advice conflicted and stomach trouble , the real causa of her breakdown , was the result. In this condi tion , through a pounding rain , over slippery roads , under the Imperious guidance of friends , and falsely borne up by stimulants , Miss Yatman attained the chief ambition of her life , and completed a ride of 100 more miles over the road than any woman ever did before. The elapsed time of her rldo was eighty-one hours and five mlnutea. "Miss Yatman presented a pitiable sight nt the finish , " relates the Now York Trib une , "Her shrunken , Wood-shot eyes and hollow cheeks showed the suffering and misery through which the foolish woman had ptssed. Her skin looked like parchment and was stretched taut across her face , looking as If the cheek "bonca " would break through at any moment. Her nose was red and a few blisters were on her lips. She GENERAL VIEW OF TUB KIMDERLBY DIAMOND MINES , SHOWING A MAZB OF WIRES RUNNING UP THE SCAFFOLDING FOR CONVEYING MATERIAL EX CAVATED. looked anything but prepossessing and pretty as Imd been reported. She presented a vholly disreputable and disgusting sight. Ami what makes cuch contests as these the more dopltroblo , is the fact that a lot ot other crazy women will not be satisfied until they have done something equally as foolish. All Miss Yatman will get for her rldo will bo seven tiny pieces of gold , worth prob ably $1 each , which she can attach to a century bar. " "The point of Importance , " continues the Washington Post , "is that Miss Yatmnn has achieved something very remarkable , making all the wheel people sick wltb envy nnd breaking records , whaterer they amount to , as though they wore made of gossamer. And a little , wondering boy who saw her aa fche was completing the COOth nillo and turned Into eomo road ho u BO for an hour or two of rest , looked at her wild face ami haggard eyes and eeml-frantlc elate , and asked , In a sort of terror : 'What did she do it for1 "Indeed , grown men and women , thought. i tul and humftno person * ot all oUcspv nre putting that same query to themselves at this moment. What tor ? Wo can see the hurra , the folly , evtn the wickedness In volved In Mlw Yatmnn's poor ochlovomont , but who can see the good ? What does It benefit society , civilization , humanity , that Miss Yntman can wheel 700 miles in eighty- ono hours and atlll llvo ? Can anyone con ceive of a more fruitless and foolish enter prise ? Verily it oeem to us that , if hus bands , brothers nnd parenta nre powerless to keep their women folk within the bounds of decency and reason , the magistrate and the constable If necessary , the lunatic neylum should bo Invoked. The fool , the idiot , nnd the maniac are entitled to pro tection against themselves. " Eddie McDufteo'B "mllc-n-mlnuto" - - pacing machine got him Into a Now York police court last Monday and it cost hla party $15 to cover the tines imposed. McUuffco was out on the Coney Island path after the rain had ceased falling Sunday afternoon and finding the const clear ordered his pace makers to let out a link ot the bicycle lo comotive. They did so and for half n mlle they burnt up the track. Policemen yelled for thorn to atop and as McUuffce's tire be came punctured nt this tlmo ho was forced to do so. Ho and his pacemakers , Sanders nnd Hammond , wore taken to court , where the magistrate fined them each $5. This pacing machlno of McDuffeo's arrived in Ilrooklyn on Saturday. Exports say it Is capable of traveling n mlle on a level In 37 seconds. It baa al ready shown a mlle In 60 seconds. It is a true bicycle nnd from an engineer's standpoint a true locomotivo. It was sot up nt Alexander Schwnlbach's place near Prospect - poct Park Monday. It has a diamond tandem - dom frame , made of Inch nnd a quarter tubing , a single pair of hugo front forks and a steel steering head two Inches in diameter. The wheels are 28 Inches in di ameter , with wood rims , steel spokes nnd pneumatic tires of the automobile class , two Inches In diameter. The wheel .bnso . Is seven feet six inches , which means nn extreme length of ten feet three Inches. There nro no pedals nnd it steers from the front handlebars only. The two riders rest their feet on iron fixtures and the rear man , who Is the engineer , has at the disposal of his feet the operating levers of a brake that acts powerfully on the tire of the rear wheel. In front , within the frame , so that the forward rider has to straddle It , Is a water box ten inches wide and shaped llk ono of a tourist's luggage carrier. Behind , ono on each side , are two cylinders about eight Inches in diameter and thirty Inches in height. The one on the right side holds six gallons of gasoline , while the ono on the loft is flllod with air to a pressure of about forty pounds by means of a bicycle pump. Behind the front saddle , built Into the frame , Is the flrobox , 'boiler and smokestack. The boiler Is fifteen Inches in diameter and the same In height. It Is made of vertlcle cop. per tubes % of an Inch thick , about which the steam Is generated. The flrobox beneath resembles a gas stove. The gasoline , forced by compressed air , feeds through n brass tube to the fireplace and is burned in the form of gas. The machine weighs 750 pounds with two rid erg on it. Some odd experiences have been the lot of countless wheelmen , who frequently make use of the railroads. On ono occasion a cycllat alighted from the train after hla wheel had been unloaded from the baggage car , and trundled to the baggage room. When about to his remove property in ex change for the usual check , the rider sud denly paused with a look of consternation In Ills face. "Look at that wheel , " gasped the owner. "Yes , I have been looking It over , " was the cool response of the baggage man. "I will report It to the agent , if you wish me to. " "Suppose you do , and what then ? " asked the owner. "Well , " replied the baggage man , "that Is all I can do. I will report It to the sta tion agent , and the station agent will report It to the general passenger agent. Then the general passenger agent reports It to the master of baggage , and the master of bag gage will report It to the claims depart ment. If all goes well , you will in due tlmo receive a call from the counsel of the com pany asking you what proof you have that the wheel was not In the same condition when put aboard the train. " After a moment's deliberation the passen ger concluded to take his wheel and join the ranks of the many other sufferers who have learned through bitter experience to select only railroads that pay as much at tention to twenty-flve-pound wheels as they do to 100 pounds of ordinary baggage. The two most important parts of a ma chine , from a constant rider's point of view , ore the bearings of the front and driving wheels and an easy running chain. Should either become clogged with dirt or grease , the whole case of running is lost at once , nnd riding , instead of becoming nn enjoy ment , degenerates into hard work work , too , by which no useful purpose Is served. When the bearings and chain are clean , a few drops of oil , not a quantity , are all that is required every few days , once a week being generally frequent enough , unless the owner is a rider who covers his thirty or forty miles a day.
