PRECIOUS GEMS.

Increase in the Importation OF cut
and Uncut Diamonds = Output Of
Sapphire aud Turquoise Mines in
this Country,
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Dr. w. T.
Day, chief mineraloglst OF the gelogl-
cal survey, has received from George
E. Kuns, the surveys gem expert. the
annual summary OF the gem industry
In the United States. There has been
an Unprecedented increase in the I'M
portatlon of cut diamonds and great
revival OF business in precious stones
of all sorts. There were no native di-
amond finds recorded for this country.
but the Importation of cut diamonds
Increased greatly. and there was a
corresponding development in diamond
cutting In the United States.
One of the most important domestic
developments was the finding Of rock
crystals at Mokelumne HILL Califor-
mia, Of such size and purity as to al
most rival those of Japan. These crys-
tails have been cut up to diameter Of
seven inches, Il remarkable size for
that class of work. The crystals are
used in ornamental work. and for hne
grade OF optical lenses.
There has been n decided increase in
the output of the sapphire mines OF
Fergus county, Montana. Fine blue
gems up to two carats have been
found. In the same locality new
fields have been opened, and beautiful
stOnes Of a wide range Of color pro-
duced.
The turquoise mines Of New Mexico
have continued their development,
and new fields have been opened in
Nevada. The production OF turquoise
fell of slightly between 1897 and 1898.
but promises to more than recover this
year.
There have been finds Of magnificent
green tourmalIne at Paris Hill, Maine,
and Haddan's Neck. Conn,
The total value OF the gem output
OF the United States for 1885, cover
Ing forty varieties, was $l6O,92O. Among
the most important were sapphire
$4,000; Quast2 crystal, $4,000; and
turquoise. $4,000.

WASHINGTON. July 14-Mrs. Rich
is to be surrendered to the Mexican au-
thorltIes to be tried for the murder OF
her husband. For days past kilograms
and letters have been coming to the
President and to Secretary Hay, some
almost hysterical in the strength OF
their protests against the eXtradition OF
the woman. It has been represented
that she la insane; that there are i'm
pending physical obstacles; that she is
innocent OF the crime charged against
her, and finally that It would be an act
OF bnrbarism TO place an American wo-
man Mt the mercy OF Mexican law and
ofIlciallsm. All OF these considerations
have been weighed and II has been de-
cIded that unless Mrs, Rich is surren-

DETROIT, Mlch., July 1l.-"Three
cent fares" are annouucoa to-day on
the fronts Of Detroit street cars in the
places where amusement advertising
signs are usually carried. This sudden
voluntary reduction is the result of q
decision Of Governor Plnsree and Tom
L. Johnson to give the people an OBJ
1sct lesson upon what they may look
forward to. II present plans for the
sale of all the Detroit street railways
to the Detroit Municipal Railway
Company" In behalf Of the city. win
out.
The three cent tickets sold to-day at
fiYe for fifteen cents are 30 worded
that their use In full payment Of fare
can be withdrawn at any time,
Tho city Is In furore over the pres
ent situation. All the newspapers
and nearly all the prominent citizens
are opposing the Plngree plan, and II
is now claimed that the majority OF
citizens oppose It, on the ground that
three cent fares and quall+munlclpal
ownership will fail to pay the ex-
penses and the S17,OOo.OOO proposed TO
be paid for the roads; and that they
will, II purchased. revert to the present
owners. In the latter event. the roads
would be operated under the security
ordinance already passed BY the coun-
ell, which permits operation OF all the
roads at slx-fOr-quarter fares for from.
thirty to fOrty-eight years, The Pin-
gree people claim that the roads Will
certainly pay OF their purchase price
under three cent fares. Governor Pin
gree is having circulars diatributed on
the streets, giving his side Of the con-
troversy.
A special meeting Of the city council
is called for this afternoon, at which a
working ordinance Is expected TO be
passed, granting the municipal COM
pany rights as to operation Of the
roads. This ordinance reserves to the
city the right at any time to fix the
rates Of fare, said rate meanwhile to be
three cents with universal transfers.
Mayor Mnybury will veto both ordi-
nances and the question iB whether the
Pingree people can secure paGsage OF
both over the vetOes.

amount to at least $l2s,OOO. Where the
money went to Is not known, as the
cashier is said to have been moderate
In his tastes and habits of life.
The Mlddlesex County bank was
operated under state charter and had
been in operation many years.
Cashier Valentine was for years q
clerk in the Park National bank, Of
New York. In 1893 he was made cashier
of the Mlddlesex County bank. His
bond was ixed at $4,000. HIS relatives
are wealthy and 1t is said they win en-
