Leads World in Emeralds.

The emerald mines of Colombia are
the most important in the world The
republic not only possesses the largest
source of supply. but produces the finest
stones known. They were mined by
Indians from very remote periods. were
exploited by the Spaniards. and since
independence. the chief sources have
been the property of the government,
although some are leased for operating
purposes. All the Colombian emeral Id
mines are located within a radius of
1"0 miles from Bogota. at an altitude
between 1000 and 1000 feet above
sea level.
Besides these the country is very
rich In iron, copper. silver, asphalt,
nitrate. mercury and other minerals
which are found in great quantities in
various districts.
"All the foregoing shows to the
American capitalists. investors and
merchants the great opportunities that
they may have in Colombia for tmproy-
ing and developing the great resources
offered by this beautiful and prosper
Gus country Of South America"

Special From Stan Correspondent.
PORTO BARRIOS. Guatemala, April

States public health service, who is on
a years leave OF absence, and serving
during that period with the Rookie
feller Foundation. arrived here today
on his way to the republic OF Saliva
dor. where he will inaugurate hook

DIR. Bailey has just come here from
the Island Of Trinidad, in the West In
dies. which Is being used by the foun-
dation as training station for hook
worm work, medical experts being sent
there to familiarize themselves with
the latest methods OF treating the dis
ease. From there they are sent as
directors of hookworm relief work in
different fields all over southern, east
ern and western countries.
Work on Large Scale.
1t developed today, in a conversation
between DR.. Bailey and the correspond
ent of The Star. that the Rockefeller
Foundation has undertaken hookworm
relief work in Central America on a
large scale. This has also been done
in the West Indies and in Ceylon.
Egypt, the federated Malay states and
Sechelles Islands. in addition to states
in the United States.
The foundation has sent medical di-
rectors to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mica
ragua, Panama and British Honduras.

tries. The work in Guatemala has been
going on since the middle Of last year.

can countries has practically just be-
gun, although, from the surveys made
and the success SO far obtained, IL has
been deemed advisable to extend 1t to
Salvador.
DR.. Bailey. who was stationed In
Canada for eight years by the United
States public health service, in con-
nection with immigration work. before
obtaining a years leave of absence to
engage in the hookworm work for
the foundation. reports that in the
Island of Trinidad. from which he has
just come. the percentage OF cures In
two treatments for the disease mas
been so per cent. and that the cure IN
from two to ten treatments has been
SIS per cent.
Many Persons Examined.
The figures show that. so far as
Central America is concerned, in Costa
Rica there have been 1882 persons
examined, who have been given 2o'Is1
treatments. In Guatemala there have
been 1853 persons examined. who
have been given s.424 treatments. In
Panama there have been 22,272 per
sons examined. who have been 8lVeH

Tobacco and Rubber.

THE Colombian tobacco is of the
best quality and the production can be
consi lerably increased. Germany and
Great Britain have taken until now the
entire export product. The principal
productive lands are contiguous to the
seacoast and to the upper Magdalena
in the Ambalema district
Rubber might be called one of the
Colombian reserve crops.
The gathering of rubber is carried
on in connection with the collection OF
the ivory nuts. the fruit of the tagua
palm, from which the higher grade
of buttons is manufactured. Both
products are obtained by the natives
from wild trees. a sufficient time not
vet having elapsed to secure returns
from the cultivated trees.
Sugar cane Is grown in the Cauca
valley. in the savannas or plains trih-
the lower river and on the Caribbean
coast. THE most successful plantations
are those in the Cauca valley owned
by a North American company and
the 'Sineerin.' in the Bolivar depart
ment. owned by Colombian company
The latter is equipped with the best
modern machinery and gives an aver
age production of l25 600 pounds OF
sugar every day. sS.
"The Cauca and Tolima departments
are the principal centers for the culti-
walton of cacao. Actually the planta-
tions give enough cacao to supply the
domestic factories. and small amount
is exported to the United States and
Europe The quality of the fruit Is
excellent.

COLOMBIA OFFERS
RICH INVESTMENTS
Former Director OF Bureau of
Information Says It Has
Valuable Resources.
WIDE CLIMATIC RANGE
ClVERSIFIES PRODUCTS
Coffee Staple Agricultural Crop, To-
hacco of Best Quality,
Others Important.

Colombian industries which may be
profitably developed by means of for
eign capital were described to a rep
resentative of The Star recently by
Enrique Coronado. former director OF
the bureau of information of the CO.
lomhian legation. Mr.. Coronado de-
clared Colombia self-supporting as re-
CARDS provisions. He pointed out that
the wide range of climatic conditions,
in conjunction with very fertile soil,
affords opportunities for the cultivation
of all kinds of crops. Among the prin-
cipal products are coffee. sugar, cocoa,
tobacco. wheat. rice. cotton. corn, rub
her and many fruits and vegetables.
Mr.. Coronado said:
Coffee. for the cultivation of which
the Cordilleras of the Andes provide
six vast tracts of ideal slopes. is pro-
duced principally in the departments
of Santander, Antioquia. Caldas, Cum
dinamarca and Tolina. For many years
coffee has been the staple agricultural
crop. the United States sometimes TAX
ing this product to the amount of $12,-
100000 to $1+ 100000 and Europe al
most as much in a single season. The
coffee crop of the republic yields an
nua1ly about 100000 bags. from which
about 5000 are retained for home con-
sumption. the remainder going to the
United states and Europe.

Yesterday that this number will not

that the company expend the sum in

of the Phillips Sheet e Tin Plate

Moundsvillc; and r. Ziesing of the
Grassell Chemical company. Clarks-
burg. submitted its report yesterday
TO the board of directors of the Man
ufacturers' association, AT a meeting
held In the Fort Henry club.
While the report of the committee
was not made public, il is understood
that it states the recent shortage was
due to unusual conditions.-first, the
greatly increased consumption because
of the great industrial activity in the
the failure of tho gas company TO de.
Velope new territory 10 increase the
supply over the two previous years.
Higher Rate Probable.
The meeting was largely attended
by manufacturers, especially from the
northern section Of the State. The
opinion was freely expressed by many
that a higher rate will be paid the gas
companies, on condition that the gas
companies develop new territory and
take such steps as will insure against
future shortage in gas.
Considering the change IN Industrial
conditions during the past two years,
with practically all materials advHnc-
ing in price. and also the cost of labor,
the manufacturers seem inclined 10
meet a new rae. Il was suggested
that possibly The rates proposed BY
