VALUE OF PRECIOUS STONES.
Scarcity and Demand Are Principal
Factors, Though Other Qualities
Enter Into Consideration.

The qualities for which precious
stones are mostly priced are luster,
transparency, rcfraction and disper-
sion Of light, although. Of course,
scarcity and demand are the prin-
eipsl factors ~ determining the
market price. For instance, the en-
erald to-day is treble the value it
was only few years ago. This is
partly caused by the greater de-
nand, but more on account Of the
state Of war in which the country
viz: Colombia-from which they
principally come is now engaged,
thereby rendering it most difficult
for those engaged in the industry
TO procure them.
The emerald mines Of Colombia,
at Mnzo and Cocszuoz, near Bogots,
have been worked almost contin-
uonsly since 1868 and have been the
means Of supplying the world with
most OF the emeralds in modern
times. There were mines in upper
Egypt which yielded this gem TO the
nations Of antiquity, but were lost

hammedan conquest until quite re-

were not known until the eighteenth
century, and though they yielded

the government from The lessees, but
they were reopened in 1900 by a
syndicate, with little success 30 far

There are many stones holding
the qualities first mentioned in

frowned, nor apparently, paid any
attention to the remark. But after
