OUR SOIL RICH IN GEMS.
Where American Precious Stones
Have Been Found by Miners,

The report of the geological survey,
just compiled for 1901, shows that
during that year there were mined in
the United States precious stones to
the value OF about $500, 900. When
talking about rare and beautiful gems
ones thoughts naturally revert to
South Africa or the orient or the
mountains of Asia or Europe, or per-
haps to South America, but one is not
likely to think of our own land yield
ing them; but the fact is, that no in
significant value in gems Is taken
from the soil right here at home. The
report OF the geological survey shows
that during that year we mined in
the United States precious stones to
the value of about $500, 900.
Diamonds represent only 500 of
this amount, but the fact that they are
found at all gives encouragement TO
the hope that paying fields OF them
may eome time be found. Last year
one diamond was found In Lee county,
Georgia, where diamonds were not be-
fore known to exist. New Mexico
furnished $1lS.000 in %turquoises, and
taese have been placed on the market.
Montana gave us $4,000 in sapphires.
which come next. They come from
Fergus county. Granite county is now
being explored for fancy colored sap.
phires, that give evidence OF being
there in paying quantities. Fine and
extensive rhodolite garnet deposits ara
found in Macon county, North Caro-.
lima. Many dark green, blue and yell
low beryls, as well as amethysts and
emeralds, were found in that state.
There Is hardly n state of the Union
in watch there Is not some trace of
precious stones and It appears not at
all unlikely that before man, years
we may be competing vita the old
world in furnishing gems.
