pttality and good feelings that a
stranger feels good just passing
through their midst. In truth, the
only means by which one can tell that
they do not enjoy a completeness of
satisfaction with things is the ener-

their already beautiful life still more

people in a pleasant land. And. why
should they not be, for it appears they
have here most everything that goes

Several years ago. about a dozen
emeralds were found loose in the soil
Of a cotton field on the Turner place.
They were exposed by blowing, and
washing rains. Promising finds Of
emeralds have been made since. The
crystals ave come from an area Of
about 100 feet by IS feet on a hill

The crystals found in the cotton
field a a fine dark-green color, but
were somewhat checked and fiawed,
and some contained silky internal
markings. The largest of these
emeralds, and the best specimen SO

by three-fourths of an inch by half
an inch. This piece has been cut

which is a faceted stone weighing
about three carats. This stone has
been described as having an excellent
deep-green color and as being par
ticularly beautiful at night. 1t has
almost no visible flaws, but is slightly

gems cut from this stone are Of SINH

Amethysts Near Raleigh and
Emeralds Near Shelly Re-
Ceive Much Notice
FROM FEDERAL SURVEY
Emeralds Are Especially Good.
Locality Has Yielded $4,000
in Three Years
(Ry l.. A. BROWN.)

Washington, d. c., Oct. 5.-The oe-
eurrence Of amethysts at several
places near Raleigh, n. c., and the
Importance Of the Turner emerald
mine. near Shelby, N. c., will receive
considerable attention in the e. an
nUal report on minerals in the United
States by Douglas 3. Sterrett Of the
geological survey. In his report, Mr..
Sterret will say that the new emerald
locality in North Carolina has yielded
gems conservatively estimated as
worth s10.50O during the last three
years.
Concerning the amethyst quartz
n crystals found in North Caro-
lima, the report will say in part:
The occurrence of amethyst at sew
eral places in the vicinity Of Raleigh
has been reported at various times
by l.. A. Fort, of that city. An OPP
portunity was given to the writer to
examine n Of these deposits on the
land Of the late George W. Partin,
five miles northeast Of Raleigh.
Here amethystine quartz and crystals
are found on the surface on a cult
waited upland field. Three or four
small prospect pits, now filled up,
had been made a few years ago. The
amethysts are found in the soil for a
distance Of about $50 yards north
e~ast-southwest direction. Near the
prospect they are very abundant

etched and striated. Very pretty
gems have been cut from smaller
fragments found on the surface. Some
of these were sold at rather low
prices before their true value vas
realized and the proceeds were de
voted to prospecting. These gems
brought from $40 to $50 carats.
A lot Of eleven Of these emeralds cut
zen ~cabochon.' weighing about nine
c~arats. have been mounted in a sInait
necklace and would bring several
hundred dollars at retail prices.
In ali about 200 carats Of rough
stones have been found on the
Turner place. So far over 200 carats
OF gems have been cut from the rough
stones and to judge from the yield
700 caratS Of cut gems ought TO be
obtained from 1900 carats of crude
material.
"The cut gems are valued al 5, %
$500 per carat wholesale. and q mod
crate average would be about 81, per
carat"
Mr.. Sterrett is enthusiastic over mo

'SeFeral localities in the United
