f The worlds ruby center Is MogOk, In upper Burma, some 70 miles north ok Mandalay. Here are the great ruby mines, one of Burma's most valuable monopolies. says the London Weekly Telegraph. Indeed. not only does this country produce the finest of these coveted gems. but they are recovered in such quantities as to enable her to dominate the market.
 Few are aware that. weight for weight. ruby Is more valuable than diamond. It Is estimated that one the color of pigeons blood. weighing i've carats, viii sell for ten times the value of 3 diamond of the same weight Fur. thermore, the price increases with ths size of the stone.
 As the "byon," or earth containing the coveted gems, is taken from the ground it Is placed in great revolving tub. Here 1t is screened and all loose earth removed by water. The residue Is then tipped on the sorting table A white overseer carefully examines the pile, selecting the true gems from the worthless debris. If he's lucky he may at one sorting find gems worth many thousands of dollars, while on the oth- CT hand the yield may be but hun- dred dollars or two. The yearly out- put of rubies from these mines totals about S4O0. 600.
