APSIL 7, mi PAGE 7 KNOLLWOOD WORK PROGRESSING RAPIDLY Matters are progressing at Knollwood in a manner which is most gratifying to the promoters. During the past two or three weeks the work on the golf course has proceed ed rapidly, and the letting of the con tract for the construction of the club house of the Mid-Pines Country Club, which will be the center of social activ ity, was the signal for the beginning of the sale of building sites. Almost be fore the ink had dried on the map Mr. Jas. Barber purchased a lot near the club house site and began at once ar ranging for the erection of a dwelling there. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Bloodgood of Montclair, N. J., bought three lots in the same locality and they, too, plan to build a winter home which they will occupy themselves. A few days ago Mrs. Francis Keating of Pinehurst, became the owner of one of the most beautiful spots on the whole property. This lot is on Crest Road, just a short distance from Midland road, and is on the very tip top of the highest knoll on the whole Knollwood tract, commanding an unobstructed view of the surrounding country, with Pinehurst in the back ground on one side and Southern Pines on the other. Directly on the corner of Crest Road and Midland Road, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Clifton Fuller, of Maine, recently purchased a large, sightly lot. Meanwhile new members have been ad mitted to the club and the list is grow ing most satisfactorily. Applications for memberships are constantly being re ceived and the success of the undertaking is now assured beyond a doubt. It is an interesting and significant fact that the first to buy are winter residents of the Sand Hills who have been here for many seasons and are thoroughly ac quainted with the section and competent to judge of real estate values. Their confidence in the proposition and that of the large number of applicants for stock in the Mid-Pines Country Club are a vin dication of the belief of the promoters that such an undertaking will fill a real demand and that its development will he steady, satisfactory and profitable. The list of charter members now in cludes the following: Mr. Wm. C. Bloodgood of Montclair, N. J.; Mr. Jas. Barber of Englewood, N. J.; Mr. E. J. Barber of New York, N. Y.; Mr. Geo. N. Clemson of Middletown, N. Y.; Mr. S. B. Chapin of New York City; Mr. C. T. Crocker of Fitchburg, Mass.; Mrs. Helen Boyd Dull of Harrisburg, Pa.; Mr. Francis Keating of Pinehurst, N. C; Mr. II. H. Rackham of Detroit, Mich.; Mr. II. B. Swoope of Media, Pa.; Mr. Geo. T. Dunlap of Summit, N. J.; and Mr. Leonard Tufts of Pinehurst, N. C. MRS. H. E. MOLES WINS AT RIFLE RANGE Mrs. H. E. Moles of Montreal, won the week's rifle shooting contest for women at the Gun Club with a leading target of 146 out of a possible 150 points.

JUNGLES William J. LaVarre, James Mac-Donald and Dudley recently sailed from New York to search for the undiscovered source of diamonds in British Guiana. They will outfit at Georgetown and will journey in houseboat up the Essequibo river and then 170 miles up the tributary of the Mazaruni river. There they will explore the watershed of the Pacaraima mountains on the borders of Guiana and Venezuela. "We have reason to believe," said La Varre before he left, "that some where in this area lie the chimneys from which all diamonds, found in sporadic districts of British Guiana have come. This opinion is based on the data col lected by other prospectors and explorers ( and on my own observations m a previous visit. " Diamonds were first found in British Guiana in the middle of the last century. The interior is a tropical jungle. There .has been no systematic exploration and all the diamonds found have been washed in gold miner's cradles along the banks of the streams. The diamond fields of Brazil discov ered in 1725, far to the south of Guiana, yield only a small output. The British Guiana yield, even with the crude mining methods used, has been no inconsiderable part of the South American output. South American diamonds rank among the world's purest and most brilliant stones. With the expense of mining in South Africa becoming yearly heavier and the yield decreasing in a way that leads many to believe those rich fields are approach ing exhaustion, now is the psychological time, experts declare, for the discovery of new fields.
