WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines In the Republic
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 Spaniards
mined there in the middle of the six
teenth century, but withdrew after
a 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 COW
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 steel bar forged to
point at one end. The pieces of cal
cite vein are examined ysuperficially
for emeralds, and are then set aside
where detailed examination is made,
and the emeralds are divided into fif-
teen grades according to color, trans
parency, size, freedom from flaws, and
so on

Rome, Italy.-A law was voted by
the Italian parliament In June. 1903.
for the preservation and defense Of
the artistic, historical and archaeolog-
ical patrimony, of the country. The
object Of this law was to prevent the
smuggling abroad of art objects and
old paintings. a practice which Is re-
sorted to by art dealers who find 1t
more profitable to sell abroad instead
OF In Italy any. article of artistic or
historical value. The expectation of
art objects is now prohibited by law
and 1t Is only exceptionally allowed
after the object to be, exported has
been examined by a special commits
sion and a permit of expectation grant
ed. In which case the would-be ex-
porter must pay tax amounting to
20 per cent. of the value declared
The government, commission is In ev.
cry case entitled to, exercise the 30
called right OF pre-emption and ac-
Quire the object. to be exported at
the price declared by the owner. %.
% Recently the members OF the gov
,ernment commission were instructed
to exercise more care In the examina-
ton of art objects, especially old
paintings. and to apply the right Of
pre-emption more frequently. Last
year an art dealer submitted to the
commission an old painting for expor-
tation, which he declared was worth
only $4,000, despite the fact that he
attributed 1t to the celebrated Dutch
painter, Jakob van 'Ruysdael. The
members Of the commission immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that
the painting was a genuine master
piece OF great value and suspected
that the. dealer had only set low
price on II in order to pass 1t on as
a worthless. unidentified old canvas.
They Immediately exercised the right
of pre-emption and acquired the paint.
ing for $4,000. announcing that II was
a genuine van Ruysdael worth at
least $4,000. So
The dealer pretended to be greatly
disappointed, but as matter OF fact
he sold shortly afterward another iden-
tical painting to an Italian collector
for $4,000 He was so elated at his
successful deal that he could not help
