WHERE We FIND EMERALDS
Of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.

The finest emeralds are found In
the Republic Of Colombia. at the IA
nous Muzo mines in the department
OF Boyaca. seventy miles north by
west Of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The S~paniards
mined there in the middle Of the six
teenth century, but withdrew after
q time. owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company. in partner
ship with the government. The emer-
aids at Muzo occur In calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is GOV.
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located.
the side Of the hill Is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool is a steel bar forged to a
point at one end. The pieces OF cal
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed,
where a detailed examination Is made,
and the emeralds are divided into If
teen grades according to color, trans
parency, size. freedom from flaws. and

VALLEY HAS NEW
SUMMER HOTEL

Because of the beauty of it architec-
ture and the beauty of the community
surrounding, the newest of Hood Riv.
ers summer hotels and the most
unique, bids fair to become one of the
most popular places for quiet outing
among the scenic districts of the north
west. Enderly, the handsome log bung-
allow home of the Aliens in the Oak
Grove disrtict, is the new hostelry. No
place in the Hood River valley. noted
for its many inviting hooks, can form a
more attractive environment for such a
resort. The Allen home is nestled
among the oaks on the ridge that rises
at the west side of the valley. On ac-
count of the altitude one is able to look
down on great portion of the valley s
orchards. The Hood river is but a
short distance away to the east, and
the fisherman has only short walk
before him until he reaches the side OF
the stream.
The home is entirely constructed OF
logs. The big mantle is made of a
hewn fir slab. The railings of the broad
porch are rustic, and this porch offers
an inviting lounging place with its
many rustic chairs and hammocks. A
number of guests from Portland have
already arrived to spend short time
at Enderly.

BEES MAY VISIT

The largest spiary in the state is be-

west Of Mollala, who have just received
at Candy carload of honeymakers.
The newly imported bees are of the
Caucasian variety. There will be 1000
hives of them. The big apiary has
been made possible by the opening of
the Portland. Eugene & Eastern cleo
trio road, which opens the foothills of
the Cascades where freweed blossoms
so profusely.
Orchardists believe that bees are the
best aids to pollenation, therefore the
Lee Brothers have planned a travelling
aiary for the spring of 1914. When the
orchards of Hood River and other por-
tions of the state are in bloom the bees
will be shipped TO various points and
set to work making crop of honey
and aiding in loading the trees with
fruit.
NJ. J. Lee figures on shipping so tons
OF honey next season. or three cars.
