Richest Emerald Mines on Earth
The emerald mines of Colombia are
said to be the richest of the whole
world. They belong to the state and
are worked through concessions OF
leases. According to the law. private
parties are now prohibited from claim
ing any emerald they may discover, and
those which have been already fOunu
can only be worked by paving the gov
eminent $4,000 year from the time
the mining begins.
The best. emerald mines at present are
those of MuzO. about 70 miles from Be-

Americans On the, Ground.
The valley of the Cauca is one Of
the paradise spots of the South Amer
lean continent. 1t is several hundred
miles long and 20 or more miles in
width. It begins near Ecuador and
runs north through a great part of
Columbia. Altogether it is almost as
as large as California and equally
rich. The land is high and healtbful
and the soil is fitted for coffee, cocoa
and all sorts of semI-LrOpicaI fruits
There are some Americans who have
already lands there.
Labor is plentiful and the chances
for development are good. Parts of
the valleys are underlaid with coal
some of which is of a good steaning-
variety, and one of the objects of the
railroad will be to carry this coal
down to the Pacific ocean, where it
will command a high price The road
will eventually connect with other
railroads of the country, and viii

1t is very much a question whether
they have been equitabIy treated and
it will pay the United States to make
a treaty with such terms as will sat-

UNCERTAINTY.

"Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore.n Already the clouds of foreboding
and uneasiness are settling over Scituate
and affecting in various ways,the activities
Of its people. "The Scituate Water Act
is the engrossing thought, the topic Of
conversation throughout the town. 1t
affects the merchant, the farmer and the
mill operative. The house owner, who
had planned spring repairs and improve
ments, will now wait and see what may
happen. The farmer is doubtful about his
planting, the dairyman cannot reckon on
the future and the factory operative is
vaguely aware that uncertainty is in the
very air. The state of things may be
necessary, but just the same, they are not
comfortable. As a business factor, uncer-
tainty is very undesirable and Scituate
can hardly look for a boom in the next
few months. And all for no fault OF its
own or of its people. Greatness is being
thrust upon it," Its clear streams and
rivers, its beautiful valleys and fertile fields
are coveted by an Unsuitable monster known
as progress" Even though every foot
of land is paid for beyond its real value,
still those of US who know the pictur-
esque scenery of this country section can
not but revolt at the idea Of it being turned
into "dead sea-" A sea that is likely to
engulf the business interests of the north
part of the town beneath its forty feet oil
water.
