SEVERAL BIG DIAMONDS FOUND IN ARKANSAS

Report by the United States Geolo- gical Survey on Precious Stones During the Past
 Year

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The val ue of the precious stones annually produced in the United States from the beginning of this century to 1914 have been about one-thrd of a mil lion dollars In 1914 and in every year since, the annual value of the output has dropped considerably, and in 1918 it dropped to $1O6,523, fle lowest reported since the United States Geological Survey began to collect statistics of gem production Of 1896, when it was $97S50
 The report on the production of precious stones in 1918 just pub lished by the United States Geologic al Survey, Department of the h. terior, ascribes the decrease in the value of the previous stones produced to the military enlistment of many gem miners, the general scarcity Of labor, and the poor market.
 The output consisted chiefly of the sapphire variety of corundnm, which is nearly all used up as mechanical bearings in watches and other instru ments that require practically non, wearing frictionless barings Other less valuable and softer minerals used for this purpose are garnet and some forms of hard, compact silica. known as agate and chalcedony The annual value of the output of the four gem minerals. corundun, quartz. tourmaline, and turquoise. amounts to over four-ffths of the total value of all the precious stones produced in the United States.
 Montana. Nevada, California, Colo rado, Maine, and Arizona are the chief gem-producing States, but from 20 to 30 States annually report some production.
 Several relatively large diamonds were found in Arkansas in 1918 notably a canary-colored obtahedron weighing nearly IS carats and mum Der of smaller stones weighing sev aral carats each The value of all he diamonds produced in the United States, however in no year exceeds a few thousand dollars.
 The report also records the find ing of two large diamonds in Soutt Africa, weighing about three ounces each. It is estimated that about half he diamonds in the world are owned in the United States and that theil value is over a billion dollars. With the elimination of competition from German Southwest Africa 95 per cent If the worlds production of diamonds will be under the control of the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company and it's selling agents.
 The report gives list of the in dustrial uses of precious stones Of gem quality and full descriptions of he Iceland spar variety of calcite md of optical fluorite, states the spe cial uses and necessary qualifications of the material, and includes lists of buyers
 The report on the production Of precious stones in 1918, copies of which may still be obtained free by addressing tho Director, United States Geological Survey, Washing ton, D. C., contains a full list of gen names, each followed by the name of the mineral species to which the gem belongs. A second list gives names of the mineral species, each by all the names of the cnrrac nnndinp gem

Really when / come to think on the

to face what had happened In the fam

have put in-the "to's" and "the's; :"
and then. 81 am obliged to ask"-my
