MIN, and being somewhat talkativs
asked many Questions along the way
Al last the old man said:
I'm Tired of your talk. | wish YOU

Inc mind mine.''
The passenger subsidized.
AICer driving an hour or Two in "a,

OUTPUT GROWS
Total Yield of Precious Stones
Last Year More Than
!. IN. a $500, 10000

WASHINGTON, July ,2S.-American
mines in 1911 yielded $270o worth dia-
monds, $500 worth of emeralds, $215,-
313 worth of sapphires and $44,751
worth of turquoises. according to fig
ures just compiled by the United
States geological survey. The total
output of precious stones in the Unit
ed States last year was valued at
$343 ,692; the production in 1910 was
valued at, 1926, $50. The output in
cluded gems valued at 500 to 5000
per carat, and equal in quality to the
average run of the emeralds from
South America In three years one
locality in North Carolina has yield
ed gems worth $10,500.
/ Much interest has lately been
aroused in the moss agates found in
Montana. The cut gems. consist of
stones suitable for use in brooches,
stick pins, watch fobs, belt buckles
and other ornaments. The gems cut
mocha stone command good prices,
bringing anywhere from 81 to $500 or
$500 apiece. Some of the smaller
stones suitable for stick pins, if the
messy or fernlike patterns are partic-
ularly. delicate and beautiful, bring
SIS each.
Most of American diamonds come
from Arkansas and California. The
MOST important find of the year in
Arkansas was an SIS carat white
diamond-the largest diamond so far
found in the State. Another white
diamond, of 3 44-64 carats, was also
found
The largest emerald so far discov-
cred, in North Carolina measured
about inch by ga of an inch by 1-2
an inch. 1t was about half of a crys-
tai split parallel with the length. This
piece has been cut into about 20
gems, the largest of which weighs

UNABLE IOSELL
AUSTRALIA DAIRY
BUTTER IN HAWAII

Australia is unable to sell her but
ter in Hawaii or the United States but
| is forced to export it to Canada, on
| account of the stringent rules made
by the board of agriculture forbidding
the use of preservatives in the man
ufacture of dairy products.
This statement was made to Secre-
tary Super of the Y. M. C. A. last
night by J. G.. Hardness, secretary of
the Wellington, New Zealand, Y. M.
C.. A., and one of the largest dairymen
in New Zealand. Hardness, who has
been on a trip to Victoria, B. c., was
passenger on the Mariana last night
and paid visit to the local Y. M. C. A.
The Australian dairyman is on his
way to Australia and is returning
from Canada, where he has been max
ing arrangements for the sale of his
dairy products for which he declares
he is unable to find a market in the
United States or Hawaii.
This is due to the regulations
made by the United States agricultur-
al department forbidding the use of
preservatives in the manufacture of
butter" said Hardness yesterday even

1--WE have had several shipments
sent back to us by the Honolulu food
inspectors and are forced to send our
products to Canada, where they find a
ready market. The use of preserva-
tives is an essential in manufacturing
butter which is to be shipped any dis
lance and does no harm to the prod
uct. ~
Many of our dairymen have agreed
to ship no more butter to Hawaii or
the United States on account of these
regulations, and instead shall sell our
products in Canada, where there is a
big market for them -
