PRECIOUS STONES IN AMERICA.

Tons of Garnets, Some Fine Amethysts and
Opaque White Hydrophanes.
Washington Special
The report of George F. Kunz, the expert in
gems, which has just been issued by the Geo
logical Survey, contains much interesting in
formation relating to the discovery of precious
stones in the United States. TIE list of acct
dental finds throughout the country is large
enough to be inspiring. Mr.. Kunz calls
them accidental, and then says that at
Salida, Col, over a ton of garnets
have been picked up during the year
They find garnets of the same sort in Lewiston,
Idaho. Some of the pure. clear quartz. when it
comes in big chunks, is quite valuable
They found some very large masses in
Virginia early in the year They
ported as transparent CRYSTALS of quartz one
weighing 642 pounds, another $40 pounds When
these reached New York, however they proved
not to be crystals, but veins of translucent
quartzite with crystalline markings Of a group
rather than of a single crystal, and the clear
spaces which were only observed on these crys-
talline sides, would not afford crystal ball
more than one inch in diameter. The larger
part was almost white with flaws. "Such would
do. however, to sell to tourists" says Mr. Kunz,
naively. Some amethysts have been found dur
ing the year at Deer Island Me-; also few anne
thysts are found at Burrville, r. l. A precious
stone of much interest is Opaque white hy-
drophane discovered in Colorado. The finder
has named it magic stone" because, usual
with this mineral, it possesses the property of
becoming absolutely transparent il water ia
dropped slowly it from one to three minutes.
1t IS so porous that it will absorb its weight
of water. 1t quickly RECEIVERS its opacity.
The finder suggests that the stone be used for
seals, rings, and scarf pins. by of its
opacity it would completely conceal portraits,
notices, mementoes. which could be brought
to view when desired by the application of a lit
tie water. beautiful pink chalcedony has
been found at Cisco, Utah. 1t admits of high
polish. but has not yet been introduced in any
quantity.
L. F. Lamb and G. Q. Hatch mined for a
time at the Mount Apatite locality. near Au-
burn, Me-, and found tourmaline gems and min
erals to the value of $500. This locality will be
further worked. Quite large number of the
yellow, green and white beryls found in Litch-
field county have been nicely cut and exteps-
lively sold The cut gems sold during the past
year valued at 5000, but large part of
this sum probably represents the cutting and
other necessary expenses. The Marion Bullion
Company. at Marion, y. c.. does not make
business OF digging for gems but Colonel Dem
ing has found many earnets there that it
paid him to sell them in quantities to mauufact-
uring je welers. There also fine anne
thyst of magnificent purple color and over
one inch across, fine aquamarinas from to
six carats weight. and some beautiful chloritic
inclusions in quartz, which, when polished,
show very fine landscape effects

The Bad Break Made on Friday by the Ways
and Means Chairman.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Nether house of
Congress was in session to-day, but there were
many of the members in their seats and about

to be considerably bored over the incident The
chairman of the committee ways and means

slider the blunder made when he acknowledged
that he had promised many members to adjourn
the House till Monday as but the beginning of
series of blunders, which will disrobe him of his
prestige and the influence which surrounds him
as chairman OF the most important committee
of the House. It will be remembered that the
prediction that Mills would be made chairman
OF this committee was discredited by most of the
people here last summer and fall. on the ground
that he was too brash. ot-headed and hasty
to be a leader of the House. Many members
went to the Speaker and asked him not to place
Mills at the head of the committee for these
reasons, representing to him that the Texan
not a man of sufficient GOODNESS and farsight-
edness. If he should make another break like
that of yesterday he will really become the
laughing stock of the entire town.
