RICH OPAL STORE
MUST Be AGED
Jewels Beneath Lava Turn to
Dross Unless Dried

BY Consolidated Press.


WINNEMUCCA, New, November
25.-Opa!s. iridescent opals, gems OF
shimmering blue, glowing red ana
blushing pink, stones riValhS the
splendors of the rainbow in color range
and variety, have been discovered be
meath the lava vented forth by ancient
volcanoes in the rugged Thousand
Creek region. amid massive mountains
north of Winnemucca. The Jewels
occur in masses. clusters and solitary
beauty, but like many Of the rlch
nrizes of this world are crossed by
the trail of the serpent
Could the gorgeous gems be mar
keted as mined, their finders would
have wealth at their finger tips, but
they must be aged. 1t is found neces-
sary to extract the stones carefully
and pack them in clay underground
for probably four or five years before
they are cut by skilled lapidaries.
Danger of Ruin.
If liberated too soon from their
natural imprisonment the opals not
only lose their splandOr, but crack and
dissolve into worthless fragments.
They dry out gradually and retain
their beauty and form if kept for years
imbedded in clay beneath the mother
ing earth.
Prof. j. Claude Jones, geologist at
the University Of Nevada, has in
spected the deposit and stated that the
opals resulted from the burial of for
est of petrified trees under heavy
flow of volcanic ash ages ago. The
region previously had been covered
with tropical vegetation, and the vol
canic ash was later covered by foods
of molten lava.
Under the terrific pressure and heat,
the petr:tied trees slowly turned into
new forms, with masses converted into
irideScent opalS.
A humorous angle of the opal find
concerns the attempts of thieves to
loot the gem owners. Eenturesome
high graders" the hi -jackers of the
mining game, made bold by successful
raids on rich gold mines in the desert
region, recently forced their way into
the guarded stores OF the UpalS. But
their efforts, seemingly successful,
were found later to be fruitlASS. as the
beautiful-appearing gems in their
hands dissolved into worthless dross.

NEW AUTO PERMIT
DRIVE |S.PLANNED
Police to Aid EIdridge in Re-
neWaI of Drivers Cards
Before July 3.

Members of the Metropolitan Police
Department were ordered today by
Maj Edwin B. Hesse. superintendent,
to cooperate with the Traffic Bureau
in pushing the campaign of Director
NJ. O. Eldridge to have automobile
drivers renew their permits under the
/, staggered plan"
Blue prints showing the call dates
for the outstanding permits were sent
to all precinct stations, with 1nStruc-
tions that they be posted in conSplcu:
Gus places and that all members OF
the force familiariZe themselves with
the plan of renewal. Maj HeSse also
urged the police officers to circulate
the information among automobile op-
orators and urge them to secure thelr
permits without delay.
July 3 Is Final Date.
THE act Of Congress approved
July 3. 1926, requires that the director
of traffic call in all outstanding per-
mits to operate motor vehicles in the
District of Columbia and to issue new
permits on or before July 3, 1927,
said Mai. Hesse's order. The penalty
fixed by law for operating motor Vehl-
cles without proper permit is a Ilne
of not less than 81 or more than $40.
Therefore any person who at
temptS to operate motor Eenlcle
after July 3, 1927, without having
new operators permit will be subject
to the above penalty.
"Only 44,700 permits out OF an estl-
mated total of 212, 800 have been re-
newed to date, and unless applications
for new permits are made at greater
rate than has been the case the dlrec-
tor of traffic will not be able to assure
operators that they can be in posses
sion of their new permit before the
old ones become outlaw on July 3.
1927.
No Extension to BE Granted.
THE commissioners have, there
fore. issued an appeal to all automo-
bile operators in the District Of Co
lumbia to act at once in this matter,
and the commissioners state that no
extension will be granted for the use
of an old permit after July 8, 1927.
1T is apparent that failure on the
part Of any large number of automo-
bile operators to secure their permits
within the period specified will place
a tremendous burden on the Police
Department in enforcing the regula-
tions and comma nding officers and
members of their respective COM
mands are, therefore, instructed to
circulate this information among
automobile operators and urge them
to secure their new permits without
delay"
