TRAVELLER.
PRECIOUS STONES IN ALASKA. A recent traveller tells us that such scientific men as have examined the sand ©f the Alaska district, or the chance specimens of it that came their way, unite in stating that precious stones are to be found in it. Of course, there are two good reasons why thus far they have not been ' worked.' The first is that they have not been sought, and the second is that if found by chance there is probably not a man in the country who would know a diamond in the rough. But the answer to the riddle is already at hand. The traveller in question says that when his party goes back this season he will take along a diamond expert and begin a careful and systematic search for the gems.
