GROVES PLANTED BY GOVERN.
MENT.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 9-The
Forest Service is raising several
acres OF Bigtree seedlings on the Tia.
hoe National Forest in California, at
a more northerly point than any ma
tural Bigtree grove. While the giant
seauoias are found in the forests OF
the Sierras at various points through
out a total range of some $50 miles,
in the northern two-thirds of this
range there is practically no natural
reproduction 1t has consequently
been a question whether the species
would not practically disappear from
this region when the present nature
trees die.
The most northern existing grove
Of Bigtrees is on the Tahoe Forest,
but about "a miles southeast OF the
site selected for planting, This site
Is on a moist flat not far from Ne
vada City, and Is about 2,7OO feet
above sea level. The first seedlhg
was done in the fall OF 1910, with
very successful results, and last fall
an additional area was seeded.
The method used in planting the
seed was that known to foresters as
the seed spot method" Spots about
feet apart each way were prepared
by pulverizing the earth with gar
den hoe. Seeds were then dropped
on these spots and lightly pressed In
the soil with the foot. The flourish
Ing condition of the young seedlings
gives good reason to expect future
growth of Bigtrees at this point. With
protection of forests from fire there
seems to be no reason why the Big
Trees should disappear even though
scientists regard them as survivals
from past age, botanically speaking.

Gem MINERALS OF
utah
variscite

This mineral, under the trade name
of Amatrice. has been mined and cut
in larger quantity than any other Utah
gem mineral, and has been put on
the market by the Occidental Gem cor
poration, of Salt Lake City, which has
opened and worked deposit IN
Tooele county, from which has been
marketed the stones all over The
country. The mineral occurs in irreg-
ular masses in matrix which is more
or less silicified, and is cut with the
matrix, making great variety cf
pleasing and unique combinations.
The composition of the mineral Is
somewhat similar to that of turquoise,
and the colors of the finished stone
run from light to quite deep apple
green, mixed with the brownish, gray
ish and other tints of the matrix In
numberless changes. The hardness OF
pure variscite runs about As. but with
its silicious matrix, many OF the
stones are said to run harder. At
least 1t has found favor with many
people and is largely worn. The
stones from this deposit show more
attractive combinations than those
from any other locality yet seen by
the writer Variscite is also mined Ut
deposit in southern Utah, and .ut
for gem purposes. A deposit has also
been opened near Lucin, Box Elder
county. The first discovery OF this
mineral was made in Clay canyon,
near Clarified, Utah, from which
many large and handsome pieces, In
nodule from, were taken and mar.
keted in various parts of the world
This deposit differed possibly some,
what from the others in that 1t was
associated with mineral Of a vel.
lowish to pale greenish tint, generally
surrounding the variscite and called
wardte Variscite has also been
found in small quantity in the Mercur
and Geyser-Marlon mines at Mercur.
Topaz.
This gem mineral is probably more
widely distributed in Utah than any
other, as It occurs in many localities
in the desert regions where rhyollte
outcrops, with which 1t seems to be
mostly associated, The best known
locality is probably the Thomas noun
tains. situated in Juab county, about
ten miles northwesterly from Drum
springs in the Detroit district, or
about fifty miles northwesterly from
Oasis. The crystals occur n vugs or
seams of a light.gray rhyolite, a great
belt of which extends northerly, and
at various points outcrops in south
erly direction. The colorless crystals
are found loose on the hillsides, and
in the sands of the dry gulches,
where they glitter in countless mum
bers. The sherry colored crystals are
obtained by blasting for the yugs, In
