SPURIOUS GEMS.

El Paso Bullion,
The extent to which count erfeit
gems are worn in the United States
if generally known would startle
those who effect them. The immi-
tation emerald looks so much like
the genuine that perhaps only one
out of two hundred experienced
jewelers. could detect the difference
between the genuine stone and the
artificial. 10 further deceive not
the public but the dealers, artificial
emeralds are provided with flaws,
Thousands of the fine solitaires are
only topaz, while baser limitations
of the prince of stones are almost
numberless. 1t is often the case
that persons of modest means un-
able to buy a diamond content
themselves with a rhine stone, in
most cases they are deluded, for
their purchase is only glass. Ar

stone the agate is manufactured by
the ton, garnets also are fabricated
to deceive even sklllful eyes. The
latest counterfeit is the opal.
They are new being introduced in
the country and so nearly imitat-
ing the genuine stone that it re-
quires an experienced expert to de-
tect the difference. They come
from Europe. In Mexico, however,
the art of counterfeiting that beau
tiful stone is unknown and the
government will look to it that it
will be a felony to do SO, thus pro-
tscting the opal. industry of that
republic which from year to year
is increasing in Importance. The
only test for precious stones is
their hardness and specific gravity,
and the only protection of the pub
lie is to buy from strictly honest
and competent dealers.

1t is estimated by persons who have

that five hundred Mornons have passed
through here from Utah and Arizona in
to Mexico during the past two or three
weeks. The volume OF this emigation
seems to be increasing from month to
month, and at the present rate will ma
terially diminish the population OF the
localities from which they come.
Work on the Mexican Northern Pacific
has been partially suspended the last fe "
days, owing TO the ruling OF the officer in
charge Of the Custom house, who will not
permit supplies to cross the line without
paying full duty.
The result is that everything has to go
to Aesncion, a hundred or more miles
from the border, for inspection and pay
ment of duty, aud then back TO the local
ity OF the work.

THE FATAL TAMPING BAR.

Denver NJ ming Industry.
The late accident in the A. p.
tunnel, by which four men lost their
lives, is supposed to have been caus-
ed by a miner tamplng giant cart
ridge too hard. The tamp bar WAS a
piece Of gas pipe, with wooden
plug fitted in the end, and the wood
was worn SO low that the iron came
in contact with the cartridge. A
good many States have laws for
bidding the use of iron tamping
bars, and good many mine super
Intendants in other States forbid
their usa. 1t would not be bad
idea to abolish the use of the iron
bar everywhere, though it is not
dangerous in the use of giant pow
der, il the tamping is not done on
the cartridge; and there is little use
of tamping there. To plug the
hole with piece of clay, stopping
it a few inches before it reaches
the cartridge, leaving a vacant
space between the plug and cart
ridge, and tamping against the clay,
iu nearly all GASES gives better re-
suits than tamping against the

that can be found for the bursting
of gun. Stop up the bore of a
gun half way down the barrel, fire
1t and 1t bursts. Put your
charge down on to the powder and it
does not burst. In loading a hole
in a mine the object is to have a
burst, and il can be had in the same
way it can be had in a gun. Be-
sides in loading hole in this way
there is no danger of such sxplos-
ions as took place IN the A. ?. tun-

HOW TO TELL COL. HEAD.

verdenthal IN San Francisco Chronicle.
Everybody on the Rue de Pine
knows A. T.. Head, the ancient
mine operator, who is now | believe
ranching out In New Mexico.
It's because everybody knows him
that every Californian who comes
to New York thinks he has seen
Head and wonders why the letter
is so foolish. Head isn't proud,
and when he does come into the
city it's "how'y, boys" with all
his friends. The fact ls, Head has
double in New York. Looks as
much like him as two peas in pod.
just his size and just that little im-
pediment in his walk. But in one
respect he is different, and that's
where the difference comes in the
double can't play poker for cent.
| don't believe the original Head
ever declined to "little hand" or a
hand IN a "lttle game" but the
double does. Sometimes it's u
good idea to identify your simon
pure Pacific coaster by asking HIM
if he won't drop around to "roon
40" and "jiue in" That's a crucial
test.
