Repairing and Piano Tuning The local high school team met with its first defeat last Friday afternoon, when they were taken into camp by the lone boys by a 12 to 6 score. Heppner's main deficiency seemed to be in the batting department. lone took the lead in the first inning, and scored in every frame, with the exception of the fifth and ninth, while the locals brought in one run in the fourth. Ud to this time it looked like a shut-out for the home boys, but they opened up on Blake in the eighth and ran up five scores be fore the lads from below suc ceeded in benching the necessary three men. - Wilson did not show up in his usual form, this fact coupled with the "hoodoo" which Blake seems to wield over the locals, spelled out defeat for Heppner. A fair sized crowd attended the game, the school students turning out in large numbers. Hays and Crawford officiated as umpires.

How They Treat the Blue Dirt In the Kimberly Region. Writing to his monthly from Jo hannesburg, E. Y. llowe tells how the diamonds are taken from the mines in South Africa. Briefly, the process of finding the diamonds is as follows: The blue dirt in which the dia monds are found is brought to the surface precisely as coal is hoisted and mined in about the same way. It is then placed in little iron cars and hauled to a level field, where it is spread over the surface to a depth of two feet. This is done to permit the weather to disintegrate the dirt and render its washing easier. To day I paw a field of 4,000 acres cov ered with this blue dirt. It will re main out in the weather a year be fore it is treated in the washing mills. Vou might pause a moment and think of that 4,000 acre field, cov ered to a depth of two foot with the blue dirt in which diamonds are found. .The 4,000 acre field 1 saw represented the output of only one mine; there are eight in the Kim berly district, only two of which are known to be duffers, as they say here that is, of little value. And you may rest assured that this 4.000 acre field ' is carefully guarded. It is surr.oundcd with a barbed wire fence fourteen feet high, and on the top of the fence are four wires spread out in such a way that no' one could possibly climb over. At night the fence is illuminated with electric lights, and there is a patrol of armed guards day and night. But you might be turned loose in the 4,000 acre field and not find a diamond in a year. i The process of finding them is very intricate, expensive and ditlicult. Many of the natives who work in the diamond mines have never seen a diamond; they see only the blue dirt. After the blue dir,t has lain out in the weather a year and been plowed up at intervals with steam plows that all portions of it may have a chance at the sun, it is washed in enormous mills and reduced in the proportion of 1 to 4,000,000 that is, for every pound of diamonds found 4,000,000 pounds of blue dirt are mined, hoisted, exposed in the field a year and then run through j'i i n tno wasning muis. In these washing mills the blue dirt is first crushed between rollers and then run through shaking washing pans three different times. What is left is then taken in cars to another mill called the pulsator, and here the precious dirt is again washed threo times. Finally the diamonds and the heavier pebbles remaining after six washings go in a stream of water over a shaking pan, the bottom of which is covered with vaseline. The diamonds stick to the vaseline for some reason yet unexplained, while the pebbles roll Fine Missouri jack for sale. away with the water.
