Fabled Emerald Mine
Ru1nored Rediscovered
In Wilds Of Columbia

New York, Nov. 2o.-An old en-
erald mine, supposed to be fabu-
lously rich, once worked by the
lncas before the coming of the
Spaniards and buried by them to
prevent its falling into the hands Of
their conquerors, is reported to have
been rediscovered in Colombia,
South America.
The mines remained lost for GEN.
turies. 1t fingered in tradition un-
der the name of the Chiver mine and
search for it has gone on intermit-
tently since the days of the conquis-
tadores. Interest in it was revived
in 1915 when another old Inca en-
crald mine was rediscovered. This
is now known as the Muzo- Cosquec
mine. Millions of dollars worth OF
cmeralds have since been taken
from it and it has become one of the
worlds great sources of supply for
these beautiful gems.
A group of New York capitalists
visited Colombia last spring to look
over oil lands. They heard the ira
ditions regarding the mine. The ro-
mantle story intrigued them. They
formed pool of 100000 to finance
new search for the lost treasure.
The capital was divided into 1000
shares of SIS each and some of their
friends in New York invested.
Since the organizationsof the com.
pany searching parties have been
out in the wild mountains 100 miles
northeast of Bogota, capital OF CO.
lombia, where tradition located the
mine. By what lucky accident the
old mine was found is not known in
this country yet, but cablegram an
nouncing treasure trove sent the
stock of the company of adventures
skyrocketing to $1,000 share in
Wall street, with none offered for
sale.
, If the richness of the mine proves
equal to the fame tradition has
given it, it will pour millions Of dol
lars into the, pockets Of its owners.
Emeralds are scarce, and as they
grow scarcer their popularity as
jewels is increasing. Their price |
has advanced in recent years until
carat for carat they are almost as
valuable as diamonds.

LESS STRESS ON BAD
POINTS OF TRACTORS

Several hundred tractor owners in
the Dakotas were asked these ques-
tons:
What do you find to be the princi-
pal advantages of the tractor for farm
work."
What are its principal disadvan-
tagcs?'
The replies received have been sum
marized in farmers bulletin f03S, Just
published by the department of agri-
culture.
Saving In time. making IT possible
to cover the desired acreage within
the proper season, is put first among
of the farmers. other advantages
mentioned are,
Ability to dn thorough work. espec-
tally In hot weather. when horses are
at disadvantage.
Saving in man labor. doing away
with more or less hired labor and en-
aiding one man TO farm d larger acre
agte than he can with horses.
Economy
This last advantage Is mentioned by
a larger percentage of Dakota farm
crs than of farmers in other states
tractor have been made. This Is
doubtless because the cropping sys-
tenn followed in tho Dakotas is such
that the tractor can be used to ad-
vantage for more of the farm work
than In most other parts of the coun-
try.
The principal disadvantage OF the
tractor. according to the reports made
by these farmers, is its injurious Of
feet on moist soil. This difficulty is
a serious one In districts where the
soil In heavy and whore il IL ncces-
sary to do a considerable amount OF
work in early spring.
Difficulty OF operation seems TO
rank next as disadvantage A large
percentage of farmers emphasize II
Other disadvantages mentioned are ex-
pense OF operation. undue increase in
investment and delays on account of
engine trouble.
In comparing the reports upon
which this bulletin is based with those
obtained from tractnr owners in vari-
GUS parts Of the corn belt several
years ago, il appears that loss stress
Is laid upon the disadvantages OF the
