THIRTY MILLIONS
FOR PRECIOUS GEMS
Vast Fortune in Diamonds and Other Jewels Brought Overseas
Each Notwithstanding Precautions Taken on Shipboard
for Their Safe TRANSFORMATION

New York, Oct S.-The value of the
jewels and precious stones imported
into the United States is often said
to be the best barometer of the coun-
try's prosperity, and quite possibly
this is the case, since very few gems
are produced in the United States and
since the demand for them, which
must be satisfied by transportation, is
not likely to be widespread unless
people are making more money than
they actually need to accord with their
standards of living. There are said to
be some people who will go with en-
PITY stomachs in order to sport dia-
monds, but these in the aggregate are
probably not numerous, and at any
rate their purchases through such
privations cannot be very extensive,
since one good diamond or ruby or
emerald costs about as much as would
feed and cltohe an ordinary person for
a year. 1t is a well-accepted fact
among dealers in jewels that when
prosperity is widespread their sales
Increase rapidly, and that when hard
times come theirs is about the first
business to feel the depression.
If it be admitted that the trade in
gems is a faithful indication of the
industrial situation one must ac-

bosom of the stately Fraser river or
out on the bay, and the water seems
alive with multitude of some strange
animals, heaving, sinking, flashing,
cracking, the water seems as though
mermaids were holding high revels.
1t is the eager fish pressing inwards
to preserve their race. But a feet of
thirty boats lie in wait for them,
within sight as l look out on the
seething waters. From each boat nets
have been cast into the water; i'm
mense things, twelve feet wide and
hundreds of feet long, just paved out
across the path of the rushing. giddy
fish, who rush into them and are
caught by the gills. A score of men
seize the net and haul, and out of
the deep come the bright beautiful
things, so full of life and so full of
beauty so big a multitude that the net
barely holds it's treasure and the boat
sinks to its gunwale. Then they are
knocked head against head to stop the
tails from wagging, and are thrown
and shoveled into the boat.
Oh, what sight for Isaac Walton
who taught all good fishermen the

You enter the cannery. and a little
hill of 10000 dead salmon rise up before
you. A young Japanese rapidly de-
minishes the number; by long practice
and a deXterous uplift he lays out
the fish, one by one, in long line on
a rough table. Here they encounter
a Chinese decapitator, who with a
movement that has in it the Quietude
of the ages, takes off from each fish
lying before him, head, tail and fins
sending each part through an orifice
that belongs to itself. The de-capi-
tated and detailed body comes into
clean water and into the hands of In

knowledge that the fiscal year which
ended with the first half of 1903 was
the most prosperous in the history of
the country, for the value tof the prec-
ious stones imported during that pc
Rod was far in excess of anything
previously recorded. According to the
compilation of the government officials
which has just been completed, dfa-
monds and other precious stones of a
value exceeding $50, 900, 900 were brought
into the United States between June
3d. 1902, and June 30, 1903 and even
this enormous total is probably be-
low the actual value, for the figures
are taken from the invoices of the
importers, who are not likely to over
value packages on which they must
pay a high import duty.
1t is interesting to compare the fig
ures given above with those for prev
ious years. In 1902 the importation on
this count amounted to 5000. 900; in
1901 to $20.000,000; in 1899 to S14, 900, 900;
in 1895 to $4,000 900; in 1897 to $780,
600; in 1895 to Sc, 10000, 900; in 1895 to ST.
100000: in 1894 to IS, 500,O00. Between
1887 and 1890 they had increased from
$1OO00,00O to SIS, 100000 but in the next
three years they fell off even more
rapidly to S5500.000 The influence of
the depression of 1893 is very clearly
marked in the small importations for
the following year. while the tide of
prosperity which set in in 1898 has car

meat fish that pass through their
hands.
1t seems that there are several quail
ties of salmon; first in quality are the
Spring salmon" often reaching sixty
pounds in weight; next, the "sockeyes,'
fish of ten pounds, which constitute the
vast bulk of the fish that are canned;
then the humpbacks," which come
late and come poor, and finally the
cohoes," which are so pale in color that
they are afraid to can them lest peo-
pie will think that they are not eating
salmon at all. But this was the lean
year and the run of fish was so small
that they did use few of the 'cohoes."
But let us go back to the canning pro-
cess. After the Indian squaWs have
cleaned the fish. the rest of the oper-
alton is done by machinery. A ma
chine cuts the fish into just the right
lengths to fit in the tin cans, and they
are packed until the right weight is
obtained for each can. Then the cans
are taken by another machine and to-
gether with a number of tops, they are
rolled down tilt in a stream of melted
solder, and come out with a top SOL
dered on to each vessel. And now the
cans are placed in a large, boiling vat
and are boiled for about an hour, when
a vent hole being made in each top for
the escape of steam, they are allowed
to cool off Then the vent is stopped
up and the labels are pasted on, the
cans are packed in cases, the cases In

Of the other wonderful resources in
mineral, forest and fishery wealth of
British Columbia l cannot now speak.
Says a reporter of one of their papers:
1.-THE British Columbians are tantalized
by the slowness with which capital
comes in to take advantage of their
great opportunities They have suf-
fered from the rapacity of the shark
exploiter and the constituencies greed
of the prospectus maker. Their streets
are filled with people who want to be
rich in ten minutes without working,
and the rest of the community seems
to live on tip-toe. looking for the capt.
tai which comes, but not fast enough
to suit their eager wishes and to de-
velop their many splendid schemes.
Perhaps after a while they will settle
down into that calm industry by which
alone a city can be built up in true
prosperity"

once in every four years comes the
great rush of fishes, actually filling the
rivers running, running, on top, over,
under each other. Fastening to every
little pool in the interior to lay their
spawn. OF course there are millions
of fish every year, but they ebb ana
swell to their greatest number every
fourth year, when they are so plenti-
full that the nets are filed wherever
placed and the Gamers have not facil-
tiles for canning all that are brought
to them.
In one little town in the suburbs on

are in the rivers. You look across the

GUTDI REPORTS TO ROME.
Erpects TO Reach Solution OF the
Problem of the Friars.

Rome Jan. 2.-The Vatican is in receipt OF
the first long report the situation IN tee Fhli-
ippines from Monsgnor Guidi, Aposuonc peie-
gate in the islands. The delegate praises the
tact fairness and goodwill of Governor Ia1t
and expresses the hope that as he ana the Gov
ernor are both animated by desire TO MAIN
tain the pacihcation and secure the prosperity
of the islands they will succeed In setting the
points under discussion and in reaching an un-
derstanding satisfactory to Rome, washington
and the Filipino people.
Monsignor Guidi gives summary OF She evil
dence he has collected with regard TO the SELL
ing of the frars lands, the settlement OF rentals
damages due the Church. the conveyance OF
titles and the administration of charitable ana
educational trusts He thinks the question OF
the withdrawal of the friars viii be solved
GRADUALLY through the reorganization or the
church.
The Apostolic Delegate says the schism In
the Roman Catholic Church in the philippines
soon will be put down, although the separatist
movement is believed to be encouraged by the
neoplers dislike of the friars and their desire
tn have Filipino church not connected with the
ancient regime.
