PRECIOUS STONES.
Report Showing the Yield for the
United States.

One Of the really valuable products
Of the government printing office at
Washington, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, is the annual report which
George f. KunZ, Of New York. rem
ders on the yield of precious stones
in the United States. Mr.. Kunz's ex-
pert knowledge in this speciality has
been years at the service of the United
States Geological survey and thus be-
comes part Of official literature. The
report for 1896, just published, con-
tains a table Of values as represented
by the various gems discovered in the
United States during the year. It is
interesting to observe how the values
are apportioned. Here are few
items: Turquoise, $4,000 sapphire.
$4,000; gold quartz, $4,000; tourmaline.
$4,000; garnet, $4,000; ruby, 81, 900; anne
thyst, $500; topaz, 5000: opal, $3.50: emer-
aid, none; diamond, none
This list includes many precious min
erals which would not strictly be called
as gems, and the total value assigned
is a little under 100000. The prom
inence of the turquoise in the American
list is recent, the yield being large In
Arizona and New Mexico.
