Show Salting a Diamond Mine. Howard DuBois, the noted mining engineer, told a good story to the Tech men recently, illustrating the "art" of salting a diamond mine. The story was told of a man in South Africa who, while walking one day over his property, suggested that they assay some of the soil. In the search that ensued eight rough diamonds were found and offers began to fly through the air at a rapid rate for the land, when the host's wife called out to her husband: "Why, John, where are the other two?" The sequel of the story was left to the Imagination. Boston Record. |
