In the southeast corner of Mime
sofa are situated the famous Indian
"pipestone" quarries. the scene Of
much of Longfellow's poem, "Hiawa-
tina" Years ago. says Amy Rolfe
Emerson, in the Mentor Magazine,
thousands of Indians and many tour
lists came yearly to the quarries-the
Indians to dig the soft red stone from
which peace pipes are carved. and the
tourists to see the ground most sacred
to the Indian. The people of the town
of Pipestone have permitted blasting
to be done in the quarries, and a
drainage ditch to empty into Winnie
wissa falls, says the writer. Few visit
the quarries today

Word "Jade" Of. Spanish Origin

The name jade is derived from the
Spanish piedra de ijada, or "stone of
the loins." Early Spanish explorers
found natives Of Central and South
America wearing precious stones as
alnulettes, to protect them against
pain One of the most interesting jade
ornaments worn in Olden times was a
glrde which gave out musical tinkle
when the wearer walked. Jade is
thought to instill virtue into the
heart of its wearer. Imperial person
ages were never permitted to remove
their jade jewels, as each was worn
for some symbolic purpose.
