the water W hich may be diverted for

This treaty cannot become fully

ton we will have to meet is whether

RUBY MINES OF BURMA. y

Most people are Of the impression
that the diamond is more valuable
than any other jewel stone, but.
weight for weight, the Oriental ruby
costs many times what the finest
diamond of the Kimberley field will
bring" said Henri La Nalee of Chi
cago, who has lately returned from a
trip to the East Indies.
For instance, an eleven-carat ruby
sold in London a few years ago for
$4,000. An eleven-carat diamond in
the market would not bring anything
like this sum. The smaller sized
diamonds and pigeon blood rubies
are not so wide apart in price. but real
rubies are steadily in the lead in all
gem markets.
Last fall I passed through that
small district in upper Burma. around
Mogok. 20 miles north of MandalaN.
from which nearly all the rubies of
the world come. The pure ruby is
corundum chemically oxide of alum
mum. The aluminium %silicate is the
basis Of all clays and the sulphate is
familiar as alum. The Mogok district
was for three centuries owned by the
Burmese kings and in those days. 1
learned. the possession of a ruby by
a private individual, if it was worth
more than $3.50, was regarded as a
crime.
Those of a larger value We're made
part of the crowns property, except in
those cases where the individual had
sufficient cupidity to break them up
and sell them as several separate
jewels.
Some Years ago A British syndicate
got a lease on the Mogok property for
a period extending to 1892 and began
bringing out the rubies over a cart
road 90 miles to the Irrawaddy river.
The process of taking out the brilliant
red stones is unique. a pit is sunk 10
feet square and 25 feet deep. and a
centrifugal pump is placed in it. The
ground all around is then gradually
to a washer. any water encountered
being let into the pit, from which the
pump removes It.
This process continues until the
level of h mine reaches the bottom
of h pumping pit or the quantity of
water exceeds the capacity of the
pump, in. which case it becomes nec-
essary TO sink the pit further and in
crease the pumping power. Chinese
