Tho report upon the mineral re.
sources Of the United States recently
submitted shows that the value of pre-.
cious stones produced In this country
last year was $l3O,GI5, as compared
with S97,s30 In 1895. The principal
items In this total are turquoise, Sj5,-
900; sapphire. $4,000; quartz crystal,
$4,000: tourmaline. S9,O23. and gold
quartz. $4,000. The turquoise deposits
are chiefly In Santa Fe and Grant
counties. New Mexico: the sapphire In
Fergus County. Montana; the tourma.
line IN Mount Mica. Maine. and Had.
dam Neck, Conn. and the quartz crys'
tails In Calaveras County, California.
Pale almandlne garnets are found In
Cowce Valley. \. e. The considerable
increase In the product of these pre-
ci0us stones over the previous year Is
said To he due to the fact that large in
yestnients of English capital have been
made In this industry. more of which
have been attracted to the sapphire
deposits of Montana. The more popu'
lar and expensive gems, like the dia-
mond. ruby opal and emerald, are rs
