MINING FOR RUB1Es.
Famous Mines in Burmah That Pro-
duce the Finest Pigeon-BloOd
Stones in the World,

One advantage gained by the VIC
tory of the British over King Thebaw,
of Burmah, some years ago, was the
acquisition of the famous ruby mines,
from which. had come the finest
''pigeon-blood" stones in the world,
and it was expected that an immense
treasure of these gems would be
found in the royal palace. But, al
though in the looting of the mon
arch's hastily residence,
jars filled with rubies were discov-
cred, nearly all of them were of little
value, being fiawed and in other re-
spects poor specimens, says the Phila.
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
1t was a great disappointment.
Nevertheless, confidence in the re-
sources of the mines was unshaken,
and capitalists in England were so
eager to buy shares in a company or
ganized to exploit the ruby fields that
the police were obliged to defend,
with drawn clubs, the officers of the
concerns against swarm of half
crazed would-be investors.
Shares in the enterprise were
doomed to astonishing figures, but
tumbled alarmingly when news be-
gan to leak out that the ruby craze
was likely to prove a bubble. Mining
had been begun on an extensive scale,
but somehow the gems did not ma
terialiZe, and it looked as though the
fields were much less valuable than
had been supposed, or as if the de-
posits had been exhausted. After
some years investors made up their
minds that their money was as good
as lost. Hence the great and delight
full surprise conveyed by the recent
intelligence that the mines have be-
gun to pay dividends.
Experience has taught improved
methods of mining, and an electrical
power plant has been set up by the
company for washing the ruby bear
ing earth, called "byou.' This byou
is widely distributed throughout the
Mogok valley. Natives have worked
the upper crust of it for centuries,
and the idea now in view is to get at
the lower levels and dig down to bed
rock, where, because of their weight,
the largest crystals are likely to be
found. A fine stone of 20 carats was
picked up recently, and it's value may
be imagined from the fact that ruby
of one carat is worth four times as
much as a diamond of the same size.
The British company (as reported
by Mr., G. F. Kunz to the geological
surveyl is now producing fully one
half of the worlds yield of rubies,
and Its leases are said to include
practically all of the ruby y-bearing
territory of Burmah.

Then the girl, without raising her

pat and a push. One of the two wom-

nudging her companion, said: "They

The girl slipped her glove on again
after she had accomplished her pur-
pose and hid the wedding ring from

were no more remarks, and when her
