Houston, Texas, Juns 28.—Diamond “indicators, indications of the exist- ence of a diamond mine, have been found in Montgomery county, Texas. The discovery was made by Fred W. Packer, a captain in the British army during’ the Boer war and an_expert formerly in the employ of the DeBeers in South Africa, who has been pros- pecting in Texas following the recent discovery of the supposed diamond min in Arkansas. Captain Packer has unearthed a heavily flawed stone from his Montgomery county mine _that has been declared a diamond by a Houston digmond expert. The stone weighs two carats and a quarter, bu- is of little value othar than. proof of the existence of a diamond mine ‘m Texas, because of the flaws in the stone.. The Texas stone was picked up frém the surface of tho ground. Packer's mining apparatus is very crude and it is his belief that several other stones have been washed through. Captain Packer was attracted to the United States by reading in a diamond magazine in Africa of the discovery of a supposed diamond mine in Arkan- sas. Coming to America, he investi- gated the Arkansas proposition. then followed the earth formation into Texas. In Montgomery county he was confident, because of the forma- tion, that diamends could be found. He immediately began operations, em ploying half a dozen negroes to d and sift the gravel. - After months of operation this first stone was found. His interest in the work was kept up by the continual appearance of “indicator” stones, such as are thrown up in voleanic disturb- ances. and which indicate the presence of _diamonds. No effort has vet been made to go below the surface into th2 clay. Blue clay has been found in spots and it is believed that deeper better indications will be found. - BRIDGEPORT LAD' KILLED BY A PITCHER'S CURVES Exonerates _Pitcher from Responsibility.
