MINE ON FIRE

The Argonaut mine, at Jackson, California, one of the oldest gold mines in the United States, is on fire and had to be closed down. It is eX- pected that the fire will gut the prop erty before it is brought under con- trol. The Argonaut is one of the big mines of the Mother Lode and was discovered in the days when gold min ing was at it's height in the Golden state. Fortunes were taken from it, and even today it has large bodies of mill ore in sight.

GEM STONES OF CALI.
 FORNIA
The California State Mining Burea

The California State Mining Bureau says:
 Accounting for the production of gems in California is unsatisfactory, owing to the number of widely scatter ed places where stones are gathered and marketed in small way. The production for 1917 includes dia- monds, beach pebbles, garnet, opal, californite, quartz crystals, chalce- dony, kunsite, and tourmaline.
 California tourmalines are decided ly distinctive in coloring and five as compared to foreign stones of this classification. The colors range from deep ruby to pink, and various shades of green have been noted; also more recently a blue tourmaline has been found. Two California gem stones, kunsite and bentonite, are found else where in the world, and these have each been found in but single local ity, the former in the Pala Chief mine, in San Diego County, and later in the Dallas mine, in San Benito County.
 Some rhodonite has been mined in Siskiyou County, and used for decor ative purposes. Diamonds have been found in number of places in Cal ifornuia; but in every case they have been obtained in stream gravels while working them for gold. Some chry- soprase was mined in 1917, in Tulare County but not sold until later. The total value of the gems produced in California during 1917 amounted to 60 O10
