A-IERICAN OPAL MINES.
Veins in This Country and in Mexico
II Is Said Have become
Exhausted.

The opal mines in Mexico and in the
United States have been about exhaust
ed, no opals Of much value being found.
At one time large sums were Eiade Out
of them. The richest mines are at
Oaxaca, but valuable deposits have
been found at many places both in Mex
leo and the United States.
Opals occur in veins, in exactly the
same manner as silver or gold. They
are a species of siiicate infused with
a large percentage of water, whicl.
gives them their magnificent color.rg;
the iridcsccnce Is really rainbow ef-
feet ard the colors are caused Ly n
nrismatic rcfraction of the light rays.
The reds, blues and yellows occur in
tie regular rainbow order and as you
turn il the miniature rainbows chase
each other around the interior of the
stone.
Opals coming from below the level
of the water in a mine are not desira-
bic. They may lose their color CT
crack after being exposed to the sun
light. As soon as a nine reaches water
level it is abandoned. These abandoned
mines are the base of operations of
the fakirs, for the most part Mexicans
who cut the opals found in them and
peddle them to the unwary, mostly
tourists. Owing to the great percentage
of water these stones are remarkably
brilliant and sell readily. In order TO
retain their briliiancy and prevent
cracking the fakirs carry them in their
mouths.
The mine owner rarely cuts his own
gems. Skilled labor is TOO expensive.

Doe. Leonard, lentist. mule herder,
dog faucier, as he calls himself, who
was recently complimented by Michi-
gan aud Chicago papers for the fine
cabinet of relics which he presented
to the Michigan University, and who
had not been heard from for the past
two years, turned up in Boise last week,
the same old wag he was when he
presided over the third house of the
Idaho legislature, some years ago. Ills
old friends took pleasure in greeting
him with the remark, "You are sup
posed to be dead" But Doc is just as
lively as ever. When questioned as to
where he had been, be tells a most
interesting story. He started with his
wagon, mules, dogs, dental and hunting
outfit, down through Nevada. and has
spent the most OF his time as an archie
ologist i'll the land of the Cliff Dvellers.
He has made some wonderful iuvesti-
cations, aud besides bringing back with
him relics and curios sufficient to stock
museum, has evolved many new
theories concerning the domestic life
and habits of that prehistoric race
which are most interesting. The Doc
tor, as we all know, is peculiar charac-
ter, full of eccentricities but intellec-
tually very bright. To hear him tell
the story Of his two years adventures
is indeed rare treat. He is preparing

BURIAL INNOVATION.
some Up-to-Date Women in France
Have Pnll-Dearers of Their
own Sex.

The women Of Avesnes-lez-Aubert,n n
little hamlet that lies white under the
blue skies of northern France, indifrer-
ent to the events of this life, insist with
an energy that has drawn the atten-
ton of all France on arranging 10
suit themselves the ceremony of their
going hence. They have decided that.
from now on, they shall be carried to
their burial no longer by men, but by
women. In pursuance of this deci-
sion, they recently opposed the burial
OF one of their number by ordinary
routine, and asked that it should be
done as they desired. This was not so
easy. France is land where all the
men are functionaries, and where each
believes that if he is ousted the wheels
of the rriyerse will stop. The men
then insisted; the women were firm;
the police intervencd. Hence scandal.
The battle remained with the women,
and they will have their own way in
the future, for they have decided that
henceforth their written testament
shall express in the matter their for
nal desire.
This little episode has nothing to do
with women's rights as officially un-
derstood. The women of Avesnes-les-
ALBERT probably never heard of feni-
ainism. 1t is not an innovation, but
matter of sentiment and return TO the
past. There is an old tradition in the
country that the women shall bury the
women. The men have invaded,
usurped and raised into public func-
tion n pious duty that formerly be-
longed TO the women, and which the
women wish to resume. And those who
have seen il say there is no more touch
ing spectacle than this of woman car
rying their own to the tomb. Among
the winding paths of pasture land the
white coffin of some young girl is borne
by those of her own age, while the pines
md the winds make melancholy music
in their cars, and the horizon seems to
widen and stretch away to infnity.
md the wheels of the universe continue
to turn as if there had never been any
iunctionar;cs in the world.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

$500 PER YEAR

Peon labor at a much less cost is en-
ployed. Families of stone cutters who
have been in the business for genera
lions live near the mines. They select
pieces of material out of the mine and
buy it at the best bargain they can
obtain. The purchase is taken home
and the whole family Of the peon is
set to work on it, the most primitive
sort of instruments being used, most
OF the work being done by hand. His
work completed, the cutter sells the
stone back to the mine owner and the
profit is his wages. The buyer for the
mine owner must be a man of great
natience. for the poems are persistent
hagglers in trading. The whole batch
is Invariably bought, although there
may be in the lot only one desirable
stone. for If you select that one the peon
will ask more for it than he would for
the bunch. In this way large number
of almost valueless stones come into
the possession of the mine owner, which
accounts for the small prices of many
so-called opals. Many of these are dis
posed of by the mine owners at three
dollars hurdred.-N. Y. Sun.
