by the standard OIL company, which does
its business in smaller institutions widely

acres or more. They are situated on the
banks Of the Irawadi, about sixteen miles
from it's mouth The river is full of silt
and It has built up a great sand bank just
opposite the landing so that ships cannot
come close except at high tide. The silt is
so great that the little lake, inside the
works, used as a water supply, has to be
dug out to a depth OF six or eight feet
every year. l saw hundreds Of coolies ex-
c~avating this now dry lake. They were
taking out dirt which looked like cement,
and carrying It away in baskets on their
heads. The deposits Of the Irawadi are so
rapidly filling the bed OF the river that
jetties similar to those we have at the
mouth Of the Mississippi will probably be
put in.

The Yenangyang had their own rules as

While doing local editorial work on the

In one Of these chats Dennis told why he

did. Some have been bought out by the
trust, but others still compete, working the
old way. Their oil comes from wells which
are seldom more than 25O feet deep. They
break the rock by dropping a pointed lump
of iron. weighing about $50 pounds, upon
it again and again, and then carrying the
debris out in buckets.
When the oil strata is reached they wait
for the well to fill and then raise the
petroleum in buckets, which are filled by
men lowered in rope sings to the bottom.
There is much gas in the wells and the
miners can stay below but a few minutes.
In order to make the most of their time
they blindfold their eyes before descend
Ing, tearing off the ~bandages when they
reach the bottom, thus keeping their eyes
in focus for immediate work. They use hats
OF palm leaves to protect their heads from
the stones and earth which fall upon them
from the sides Of the shaft. Their product
is sold to the trust, and at such rates that
they can make but little more than fair
wages.

How Jade 1. auarried.

Mining Jade is more like quarrying than
anything else. Some Of the stones, and
often the best, are obtained as pebbles, but
there are mines whore the Jade rock lies
in open quarrios. The stones here are of
different grades, varying In quality. Some
OF the smaller pieces are worth their
weight in gold, and little bits lit for a ring
setting Will sell In China for 500 or more.
on the other hand, there are enormous
blocks worth nothing and tons which can
not be worked by the poor tools Of tho
natives. The mining Is exceedingly PRINT
tive. The rocks are cracked by building
fires upon them. They are then broken
apart by crowbars and wedges and shaped
up with hammers into the sizes 1T for
transportation. The average export value
OF the stone Is about 90 cents a pound, that
which IL annually shipped down the Irawadi
and by Rangoon TO China selling for some
thing like 100000.

In the MOEok Mines.

I understand the output of the present
year will be large. The monopoly has in
troduced modern methods. It's pumping
machinery is now worked by waterpower,
and the same power generates and stores
electricity, so that the mills work day and
night. Much OF the machinery is similar
to that used in the diamond mines Of
South Africa. The stones are run over
pulsators, which separate the heavier
gravel from the lighter. In taking out the
rubies the sorting is done by foreigners,
and the stones are classified by them.
The best go to London, which is the chief
ruby market, while those OF a lower grade
are auctioned off to the local dealers about
the mines. The latter are great gamblers,
and will run up the prices II they think
a stone may have a valuable center.
Among the rubies are found spinels, stones
which look much like the true ruby, but
which are not. The jewels are tested by a
glass through which tho ruby shows W
different colors IL viewed from different
DIRECTIONS, whereas the spinel and garnet
show but one. The rubies are found in a
matrix in the rocks, and also in the clay.
Connected with them are often sapphires,
blue, yellow and green. as well as garnets
and spinels.
