PRECIOUS STONES ARE
FOUND IN NEVADA

A Washington ,'ispatch of the
Goth says:
A rep2rt on the production of
gems and precious stones during
1910, issued by the geological
survey. states that there was a
decrease III the production of gems
rs compared with 1909. New
developments Of the last wear
included the discovery of Calf
ornite in California and of
species Of white garnet in large
quantities in Siskivou county.
This mincra'. it is stated. is with
difficulty distinguished from Mhite
Jade. for which it could be suhsti
tutec. New deposits of turquoise
and variscitc were found in Ne
vada.
Last year two diamonds were re-
ported to have been found in G. ali
tornia. A large number of these
precious stones, over 200, it is
claimed, have lean found princi.
palIy IN Butte county near Chcro-
kcr Flats. They have all been
found in gravel. hut the search
for the original diamond-bearinp
rock matriX is being prosecuted
hy various people. The operations
of an Orovillc company are re-
fcrrcd to in tn" report. The old
placer workings arc being gone
over. Concluding the discussion.
IF Californi" diamond prospects,
the report saws:
Since the presence of diamonds
is well established in Butte county,
the original matrix remains to be
located. The ~cccnt disco>,iy of
diamonds in pcridotitr in British
Columbia may furnish clcw as
TO the nature Of the rock to hc
examined for diamonds in Calf
nrnIa. 1t has never been proved
that a peridotite is the only type
Of rock in which a diamond can
occur, and some of the other basic
rocks of California may prove to
he Observation-Disclosures. However.
the scrpcntinlZed amphibolitcs may
contain masses formed from
original pcridotitcs or allied
rocks that have served as matrix
Of the diamonds found in the
pIaCers. The possibilities of re-
working the old placers for
diamonds ought to be considered,
also, for they have never been
tested with this IN view. Mining
operations heretofore were ADAPTED
only to the saving Of gold, and
only an occasional diamond was
caught in the rifles Of the sluicc
boxes"
Finds Of agate were reported
during the year by M. M. Holland
of Coaldalc and Louis Sigmund Of
Nina, both in Nevada. -.lcntion
is made in the bulletin of the
working Of deposits Of jasper near
SausIlito. Marin county. Reauti-
full pink rhodOnite has been taken
from deposits near Happy Camp,
Siskiyou county.
The report discusses the dis
cOVcry Of development Of turqu-
Disc deposits in Nevada at prins in
Lyon county, near Blair Junction,
CoaIdaIc and Nina. Several parties
produced turquoise in the Gold
field region; also near Belmont
and SOdaviIlc. The occurrence Of
variscitc. which is somewhat
similar to turquoise matriX, in
Nevada lis described. This is
produced in Esmeralda county and
south Of Candclaria at Blair June
ton and near SOdavilIc.

: The Federal navy had decided that
1T must have a southern harbor that

finest harbor along the southern coast.

streams and is in the midst Of the rich

The Removal Of Fremont.

A change even more troublesome to

There had long been complaint of Cen

agement For one thing it was said
that he was inaccessible to those hay-
ing business with him and for another
that he overstepped his powers on sew
eral occasions. Peculation Of some
of his under officers was also alleged.
The chief objection to him had been,
however, that he had not accomplished
anything and that he had failed to re-
enforce General Lyon at Wilson's
creek in August and Mulligan at Lex
ington in September. thus being indi-
rectly responsible for the disaster at
both places Fremont was exceedingly
popular in the west and among the
more radical anti-slavery men, and
trouble was threatened should he be
displaced. Nevertheless. the president
