The most important local-
ity for diamonds in the
United States is at Murfrees-
boro in Pike County, Ark.,
where diamonds were first
recovered shortly after the
turn of the present century.
The largest diamond found
in North America was at the
Murfreesboro site — a crys-
tal weighing 40 23 carats.

lining the riverside drives on
either side of it and the balust-
rades of the 39-feet-high con-
taining walls built in the 19th
century to protect the city from
flooding, the Tiber has been
slipping into collective forget-
fulness since Benito Mussolini
declared it contaminated and
banned swimming and trans-
port in 1924.
Nowadays, those who know
the river best are a few eel
fishermen and members of pri-
vate social and sports clubs in-
stalled on barges moored near
bridge landings.
Unlike Parisians, whose liter-
ature often mentions their be-
loved River Seine, Romans
have no particular love for the
Tiber
This situation began to
change when Carmine Gam-
mella, 56, president of the Asso-
ciation of Friends of the Tiber,
contracted a boat and the skip-
pering services of the owner of
one of the floating social clubs,
cleared the weeds and hard-
ened silt from the Garibaldi
Bridge landing near the Tiber
Island, and set up a dock area.
