been in conference with George
Thornburgh, a Little Rock pro
hibitionist leader, and he had
talked of the advisability of re
leasing the opinion.
“When I was informed of the
theft, I came immediately to the
capitol,” said Judge Moose yes
terday, “and after searching
through all the offices of my
suite, decided to call the post
office and have them watch for
it.”
Moose Opinion Causes Com
ment.
The publication of the attorney
general’s opinion was the general
subject of conversation here
Thursday and was variously re
garded as to what weight, if any,
it would have. The prohibition
leaders say that they will con
tinue the contest and that no
importance attaches to the opin
ion of the attorney general any
more than any other lawyer.
On the other hand, the appli
cants for license viewed the o
pinion as strongly favoring
them in the present contest. The
hearing of the Newport peti
tions will open before Judge Coe
next Wednesday, January 28.
The costs of the contest are to
be borne by each side and it is
probable that several days and
perhaps a week will be consum
ed before the court finally pass
es upon the petitions.

opened and passed on to be ad- ‘j
mired by the many friends pres- |
ent.
Thus culminated a very pleas

PIKE COUNIY
DIAMOND FIELDS
Averaged 20 C arats To The Hun
dred Loads According To
State Official's Report.
Little Rock, Jan. 22.—John '1'.
Fuller, consulting engineer of
the Arkansas Bureau of Mines.
Manufactures and Agriculture,
has prepared and published in
the Engineering and Mining
Journal a review of the Arkan
sas Diamond Field in 1913.
Mr. Fuller estimates that there
has been a total of about $7,
000 worth of diamonds found in
the Pike county field since the
original discovery. The diamond
bearing earth that has been
worked has yielded an average
of 20 carats to the one hundred
loads, while the South African
fields yield from 5 to 50 carats,
so that it may be seen the Ark
ansas average is well up with
that of the older and more cel
ebrated field. There have been
probably half a dozen blue white
stones of the first water found
in Pike county, worth $200 a car
at- While the greater number of
Stones are worth about ten cents
a carat.
“The work done in 1913 in the
Arkansas Diamond Field,” says
Mr. Fuller, “showed more pro
gress toward the ultimate de
velopment of this field than any
previous year since its discov
ery. Active operations have been
carried on during the year by
the Ozark Mining Co. and the
Kimberlite Diamond Mining and
Washing Co.”
