Barker, living four or five j mi]es 60Utb of At j an ta. id the direcs j tioa of Jordan's store, was ploughs I ing in his orchard and saw a small bright, crystal stone, a little larger than an English pea. He picked it ap and looked at it- He tried to break the stone and found it very hard. After further examination he dis covered that the stone would cut glass- Day before yesterday Mr. Parker came to the store of Wilecn & .Stiff, on Broad street, and show ed the stone. He confirmed his sto ry by catting a pane of glass out of the back door of the store. Mr. Palmer, who was standing there, said to the farmer ; I will give you fifty cents for it. All right, said Mr. Parker, and the stone and the half dollar were exchanged. This morning Mr. Palmer sought Professor J. D. Caldon, an English mineralogist,* who spent a number of years in the diamond fields of South Africa as second in command to Sir Daniel Frazer in the service of the London and South Africa Exploration company. As soon as be saw the stone Pro* fereor Caldon pronounced it a dias mond in the rough, and said that it would weigh about four and ashalf karats. He went for his scales and carefully weighed the stone, which balanced sixteen grains. Diamonds weigh four grains to the karat, so it was a four karat diamond. What is it worth, professor? It is an off colored, frosty diamond and in the diamond market of Kim* bally, South Africa, it would be worth, in its present rough state, about twenty shillings a karat foi a four karat stone. In the United States it is worth 30 to 50 per cent, more. The stone ie worth about $30. The finding of this diamond is a confirmation of a statement made by Professor Caldon in an interview published li'.e months ago. He said then that di imonds were to be found in the sou.b slope of the Blue Ridge. That slope, said Professor Caldon, this morning, includes Rabun couns ty, the northeast part of White eountv, the western portion of Lumpkin, the western portion of Dawson, Forsyth, Milton, Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Campbell, Fayette, Coweta and H trri?. On the plateau between the Uuaca or Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge in the Corundum belt, you will find the ruby, sapphire and oriental top iz. “I was mo. t ready to return a blow an4 woo'd not brook at all this sort ol tbiuif,” for I knrw T would cure all damage* with Salvation Oil eta.
