Arkansas Diamonds
Tho definitely locating of a dia
mond crater In Arkansas by govern
ment and private experts Is expected
to bo followed by still further discov
eries of gems in America's first real
diamond field. Arkansas has a Klm
foerly of its own, and while only ono
perodotlte "chimney" has been found
so far, the 165 diamonds removed In
tho preliminary prospecting have
shown finer average quality than
those taken from tho South African
mines. Some of the stones weigh
six carets.
With ascertaining beyond a doubt
that Pike County, Arkansas, contains
diamonds, "in place," or their natural
state, those who did not secure op
tions on the first field, are now
searching for other craters, for they
do not usualy occur singly. In tho
Klraberly fields are Beven of theso
blue mud "pipes" extending down to
tho Are regions of the earth. From
them are produced 95 per cent of tho
diamonds of tho world. Five of theso
are close together.
St. Louis Man Interested.
Among those who believe that Ar
kansas will rival Klmberly when
full development Is reached is R. W.
Hess, a diamond dealer of St. Louis.
Mr. Hess has secured an option on a
portion of the original crater, shar
ing with a New York firm, which sent
Its best experts to examine the field.
"It stands to reason that tho Ark
ansas field should become a bigger
producer," said Mr. Hess, who .with
H. T. Bule, Is now Installing diamond
washing machinery on their land.
"This crater was there all these years
before discovery, or at least develop
ment, and search probably will bring
out other fields of the diamond-
bearing dirt.
"The diamond field of Arkansas Is
not a recent discovery, but no one
paid any attention to It until real
diamonds of exceptional size and val
ue were picked up on the surface of
the ground. Then diamond dealers
became active immediately and we
have established beyond a doubt that
diamonds are there to await digging.
Of course, diamonds have been
found In America before. But they
liad been washed out into streams or
gravel. This is the first time the
gems have been found in their native
state."
-i ' -r
Farmer the Discoverer.
John M. Huddleston Is tho Colum
bus of the Arkansas diamond field,
for while others wrote reams of the
ory about the existence or poridotite,
or diamond-bearing dirt, he was the
first to find diamonds and bring ac
tual results. Huddleston, who had
bought an almost untillable farm two
and one-half miles southeast of Mur
freesboro, was searching on his hands
and knees for traces of "mineral".
He thought tho land might contain
lead or zinc ore. His attention was
attracted by what seemed to bo a par
ticularly brilliant crystal. He picked
It from among some pebbles. It
proved to be a white diamond, four
and one-half carats In weight. Tho
afternoon of tho same day he found
another stone, three carats, about
five hundred feet away. Theso were
sent to Little Rock and pronounced
diamonds.
Tho discovery was not widely her
alded nt the time, but gem dealers,
as soon as they got a hint of the dis
covery, began buying options. Tho
result is that tho field Is plastered
with options every direction from tho
crater, which Is distinguishable by its
blue dirt and Is roughly ellptlcal in
shape, with a longer diameter of
2,400 feet and a shorter diameter of
1,800 feet.
Fields Are Compared.
Tho last report of tho United
States Geological Survey, in compar
ing tho Klmberly and Arkansas Holds,
says:
"This is tho only placo outsldo of
South Africa whero diamonds have
been found In peiidotito. Tho Mur
freesboro rock Is a truo porphyrltic
lava, although tho portion now vlsl
blo had not reached tho surfaco, and
it was ovidently ejected through a
volcanic vent as a relatively quiet
flow, whllo tho poridotite of tho
?QUtU African pipes seems to have
been ejected by explosive eruptions
In a moro or less fragmentary con
dition and probably mingled with r
considerable proportion of water.
"At Murfreesboro Inclosed frag
ments of rocks travorsed by tho lava
aro wholly lacking, not a pleco of
sandstono, quartzlto, shalo or other
nonlgneous rock having been observ
ed. In South Africa, on tho other
hand, ns Is well known, such foroign
material Is abundant In tho "blue
ground," and Includes quartzlto,
sandstone, shalo, diabase, ecloglto
and other rocks.
"Such fresh perldotlto as occurs
nt tho Piko County locality does not
eeoin to havo boou observed in South
Africa, but tho grcon earth of tho
former much rcsomblos tho bluo
ground of tho latter, both lu color
and in bolng cobiposed predominant
ly of highly sorpcntlzod allvlnc, with
smaller amounts of decomposed aug
ite, and a little blotito, perofskito
and magnetite, although the Arkan
sas matorlal is much softer than Is
the African. Similarly, at both local
ities tho upper portions of tho decom
posed rock are yellow, through oxi
dation nnd hydration of tho forrous
iron."
Down 180 Feet
At present very little real mining
is being done, owing to tho efforts to
definitely locate tho crater and deter
mine whether a "salter" was at work
or whether the field was genuine.
Tho furthest depth reached by a
drill so far has been 186 feet.
Tho perldotlto Is easily disinte
grated and makes a thin mud when
mixed with water. This mud is run
over a perforated table covered with
grease. By a peculiar affinity, tho
diamonds will stick to the grease, no
matter how small, while tho mud
passes through the holes.
Mr. Hess eventually expects to see
the Do Beers trust operato In tho
Arkansas field and should gems bo
found In largo quantities ho does not
expect a decrease in market valuo.
"The diamond trust has the situa
tion too well in hand," he says.
"How well they have manipulated
things is shown by the 125 per cent
increase in tho cost of diamonds with
still further advance coming. Tho
last South African diamond crater
found was the 'Premier.' It was
bought by the trust for about $50,
000. It was immediately capitalized
for $80,000,000, and the first year a
10 per cent dividend was declared
and a third of the stones were never
cut. Tho average diamond crater
will produce about $200,000 a year."

Mexico City, Nov. 15. A whole
sale roundup of Yaquis is now in
progress upon tho ranches and in tho
mountain villages in tho state- of

A WONDERFUL LAKE.
How Ita Yield Benefits tho Rural
Residents as "Well as tho City
Dwellers.
(The Pacific Northwest.)
Trinidad Asphalt Lake, down In
tho British West Indies, is ono of the
most remarkable and interesting for
mations ever wrought by Dame Na
ture. It is called tho eighth wonder
of tho world.
Tho bed of tho lako is ovidently tho
bowl-shaped depression about half a
mllo In diameter.
Instead of being filled with water
this natural receptacle contains a
mas3 of black viscous material na
tural asphalt.
Probably tho first questions you
aro likely to ask aro: How did It get
there? Whero does It como from? (
This lako Is fed like many lakes of
water by subterrannean springs, but
theso springs, Instead of giving forth
water aro tho media through which
tho asphalt comes up from tho Inte
rior of tho earth, whoso "internal
workings" are responslblo for tho
production of this peculiar material
which has proven so useful to civili
zation. Tho Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany, Philadelphia, was among tho
first to recognize tho Immense com
mercial value of asphalt and after
making repeated tests of this mate
rial were so Impressed with tho qual
ity of asphalt yielded by Trinidad
Lake that they secured control of
Its output and havo been bringing
this product to tho United States for
many years and adapting It to tho
use of modern civilization.
Ono of tho most important uses to
which they havo put it is to make
a water proofing roofing that defies
the storms, heat, cold and every other
weather condition. This is called
Gonasco Ready Roofing. It doesn't
leak, and thu9 has tho advantage over
shingles which warp and rot; tin,
which pits and rusts; and tho coal
tar roofings, which crack and go to
pieces.
Genasco is adapted for every build
ing on tho farm, from your own resi
dence down to tho chicken houses
and if you cover tha chicken houso
all over with Genasco It keeps it
mighty warm in winter.
Any handy man about tho farm
can lay Genasco Ready Roofing. This
saves tho expense of an experienced
roofer, and gives lasting protection,
so that there is considerable saving
every way.
