been given to the home mines Then
miners here have been wrapped up In
their explorations for gold. silver, iron,
coal oil, and such products that they
have not had time to think OF other
things. But the promise OF future snort
ening of the supply Of all the leading
gems has made dealers look aroSnd Tor
other sources.
Another thing that attracted our atten-
ton was the wonderful supply OF rare

genuine sapDhires and scores or other
stones have been found in those noun

beautiful sapphires have been discovered
accidentally while mining Tor other
products. These stones have SOLD from

county, beautiful specimens OF the eme-
raid have been found. both the aqua-ma-
rine and yellow beryl. There are now
several emerald and hiddenite mines

scale. and chiefly to supply institutions
with rough specimens. Nevertheless. from
ten TO twenty thousand dollars worth OF
