This life is full of worthiness,
Obscured by circumstance,
But blossoming into glorious things
When once it gets a chance.
The pumpkin seems lowly fruit;
'Tis neither fair nor sweet.
But when it is transformed to pie,
In faith, it can't be beat!

Prices Go UP and Mining the Stones
Is Again Profitable.
COlombia's emerald mines, which
have not been worked since the eight
zenith century, are to be re-opened and
operated by company of American
and British capitalists. The mines, in
The Chivor district. are practically In
The same condition as they were in
1892, when they were closed by order
of the King of Spain, because their
operation was no longer profitable,
owing to the low price of emeralds.
Colombia is a rich country and has
many valuable deposits of gold, sill
yer, and precious stones, but on ac-
count of the scarcity of labor the
abOrigines do most of the work In the
mines, and they use only the rudest
implements of wood and stone The
great difficulty that confronts a pros
pector in Colombia is the method of
transportation. The country Is the
most mountainous in the world, and
the coast is by pack mules and by boat
on the great rivers, which is most diff
ficult and expensive.
The diamond is no longer the most
expensive gem" said an old miner.
'As regards monetary value, 1t Is far
surpassed by the ruby and the emer-
aid, and even the pearl Is rated high
er. The emerald is at present the
most fashionable stone, and brings
good prices. An emerald OF medium
size and purity that may have cost
about $50 a, few years ago cannot be
had to-day for less than $3.50. Re-
Gently an emerald of three carats was
sold for $SI5, while one of six carats
brought $4,000 A diamond of exactly
the same size costs about $1,000. II
must not be assumed, however, that
| diamonds are depreciating in value.
Other stones, and especially emeralds,
simply have risen in price of late in a
surprising manner"
