noonstoneS and Water OpaIe Found on tine
Besch-Notes
REDONDO, July 31.-Summer visit
ors at this resort have found a new di-
version which just at present is absorb
ing great deal of attention and energy.
The new pastime possesses the double
attractiveness of being not only fasci
mating but lucrative. Moonstones and
water opals may be picked up on the
beach, and these are the magnets that
are drawing the attention Of our sum-
mer residents.
1t has not until recently been gener-
ally known that these stones existed in
this locality, though for some time past
they have been gathered by some of the
old residents. Judge Witheril. who is
an expert lapidary, has made a fine
collection Of them, many of which he
has ground and polished and set into
different pieces Of Jewelry. He has
among his Jewels many beautiful stones,
the majority being either water opals or
moonstones. Besides these, however,
there may be found here moss agates,
onyx and the rare and curious stone
known as flower stone. This latter is
very valuable, fine specimen, when
polished, being worth from $25 to $780,
The water Opals and moonstones are
worth from twenty-five cents to three
or four dollars. according to their size
and quality. Occasionally moonstone
Is found with drop of water in it, which
was imprisoned during the process of
formation. Such, however, are rare, and
are highly priced when successfully pol
ished and dressed. The stones vary in
size from small round speck to the di-
mansions of a hens egg. They are usu-
ally discovered at low tide. in beds of
pebbles washed up from submerged
reefs. They might also be quarried
from trap rock if their value warranted
the expense. When polished the water
opals are bright and contain some fire.
The moonstones are transparent, though
nothing near as beautiful as the moon
stones Of the orient.
The quest for these Jewels Is becoming
quite fad, and many when they leave
here after their summer outing will
carry with them pretty souvenirs of the
place.
Tomorrow evening the residents of
Redondo will receive a splendid treat in

Wreck of a Steamer on Lake Erie
 Whose Name Is Unknown.

With the aid of glass they were able to see a spar projecting from vessel some distance away. On going to it they found that the vessel had been sunk. The captain is of the opinion that it was a steamer, but there was nothing in sight by which the-Aame of the boat could be ascertained and no information has been received from any source that a boat has been lost. It is certain, however, that the vessel went down with all on board.
