Tn truth, the actual existence of diamonds in our country has at no time heen doubted hy our hest informed citizens who gave the suhject careful attention. Many men delight in crying down the new discovery; some scout it hecause they have neither the intelligence nor energy to ascertain truth, and wish to essume a species of prominence. Diamonds, especially in their crude state, would not he picked up in the street hy one man in a hnndred—more likely one ina thousand. How ahsurd and stultifying to pronounce a discovery a humhug without heing ahle to give a sensihle reason therefor. A great auxiliary to success in husiness is secrecy, and the more vital or valuable the ohject sought the greater the secrecy. It is for this reason we believe the present agitation to he founded on anthoritative knowledge. A gentleman who has given the subject studious attention informs us that diamonds of the first water have heen found during the recent excitement, and that not a reasonable douht exists as to their plentifulness. It has been our aim to represent facts not fancy, and accordingly have kept our eyes and ears open, and have thus hecome convinced that Owyhee county is rich in diamonds. Without these, we have therichest known mineral region in the United States, and it would he folly to get up false impressions when the merit onr camp Possesses is almost excessive.

THE EXCELSIOR GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, In the aes herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the Pan; B, MuHler; C, G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; a, Dies; ¢, Shoes, nnd o, Legs; D, Cross-Frame; E, Gearing; F, Screw; The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110. That is, the respective mullers heing of the same diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduce one hnn+ dred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the same degree of fineness in the same time. The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in the Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness of motion to the muller. has been attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor Uniform wear of the grinding plates Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal or substance to he amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces into the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its hecoming coated with any foreign substances, after having heen burnished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior,” As a whole, it is far superior to auy other pan in use.
