Mexico Resumes
Mining of Opals
On a Large Scale

With the reopening of the markets of
the world, big revival of opal mining
n Mexico has begun. This is one of
where foreign capital has not found d
toothold. Practically all of the produc-
ing opal mines are owned by Mexicans.
Primitive methods are still used for the
extracting of the precious stones from
the formation in which they are found.
The Uueretaro district for nearly sixty
years has been the chief source Of sup
ply OF the gems.
The owners of the different produc-
ing properties have been content to
carry On mining operations in q desul-
tory way. When the demand for the
stones was good and prices were high
many Of them were turned out. 1t is
from Queretaro that the opal supply
for the United States comes chiefly, al
though many gems have come from
Australia The grinding and polishing
are nearly all done in Queretaro and
San Juan del Rio.
Most Of the best quality stones
eventually find their way to dealers in
the City Of Mexico and are marketed by
tnem IN other countries. The poorer
GRADES are sold principally to tourists
~ the railway stations.
The Australian opals. especially the
se.ealled "biack" opals, are usually

mexican stones are usually as clear

ers who lived on Goose creek be-
fore the big irrigation project
was constructed traded their
rights for rights under the pro-

without water.--Boise States

BEAVERS MENACE CROPS.

Beavers in streams tributary
to the Goose creek reservoir in
Cassia county have backed up
sufficient water with dams they
have built to irrigate all crops on
the Twin Falls, Oakley project
which are now burning up for
want of moisture, according to
Dave Rich, chief deputy in the
state game department, who re-
Gently made a visit to this Sec
ton.
Mr.. Rich went to Oakley to
destroy with dynamite the dams
built by the beavers, but found
the job too big and gave up in
despair. He says not less than
5000 beavers are living in the
streams tributary to Goose
creek between Oakley and the
Nevada state line.
Last Sunday Mr.. Rich des-
troyed four large dams. When
he returned to the point where
the dams had stood the next day
he found that the beavers had
rebuilt two.
This autumn when furs can be
saved the beaver will be trapped
out of the streams and the dams
destroyed. Mr.. Rich says it is
too late in the season to under
take the work now.
