WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muxo 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 ALI
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 i'm
banks usually by Indians, whose
chief tool is a steel bar forged to q
point at one end. The pieces of cal
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside.

When an able bodied man haltS you

that he is lying. The industrial de-

Leader. Men are going about the

ing signs almost beseeching workers

many kinds Of employment, skilled
and unskilled. The indications are

by the American people and attention
paid to their preservation. How
many thoughtless men and boys wan

but the figures must run into the hun
