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 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 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 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.

Work Of Many Years.

The origin of that water power de-

the result of remarkably persistent la

In the middle of the last century the
value of the vast quantity Of power
going to waste there vas recognized
and various unsuccessful movements
to utilize it were launched. Then ten
years were spent in work which was
successful at last, A corporation
which really was trustee for the peo-
pie made preliminary surveys. collect
ed data, obtained franchise act from
congress, and searched for capital to
build the water power installation. It
obtained its funds from the municipal
treasures Of Keokuk and of Hamil-

SECTION Of D0WN5TREA1 SIDE

N THE heart Of the United States,
but at a point which is one Of
the nearest by transportation
routes to the countries of Central
and South America, is being built
giant water power plant which must
greatly affect for good not only Its inn
mediate environment, the Mississippi
valley, but the whole nation and all
the nations in Pan America The CO.
lossal size Of the water power there
would cause appreciable effects any
where in the world, and it Is located
almost exactly at the point where its
commercial influence may be exerted
most easily and effectively upon
world commerce
The achievement nearing compile
tion is the damming of the mighty
Mississippi river, Harvesting it to tur-
bine wheels and electric generators
and distributing its tremendous power
over one hundred miles and more OF
the most efficient portion Of the
United States on direct traffic line
to the rest OF the western hemisphere.

eering achievement, but also perhaps
