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
