AMBER A PRUSsIAN MONOPOLY.
Government Gets Big Royalty on
Two Great Mines Producing Ii.

The working of amber Tn Prussia is a
monopoly in the hands OF a firm which
owns the two best mines, PaImnicken
and Kraxtepelle. For the concession they
have TO pay to the German government a
royalty Of $4,000 marks (about S1s2 coo)
a year. 1t is reckoned that this firm ha Z
up to now paid no less a sum than s..
00.000 in royalties 10 the German gov
eminent.
In addition to the output from the
mines, a good deal of amber was picked
up on the beach at Pillau. IN the province
of East Prussia. being washed up with
the seaweed during the prevalence of
northwesterly gales. The shore at Pillau
after storm is sometimes covered with
a layer of seaweed three feet thick
among which the amber is found en-
tangled. Men, women. and children find
easy and lucrative employment in search
ing for the amber along this part of the
amber coast. The people engaged in This
work often earn 20 marks a day CsO and
