the material that is added around
the tree underneath the bark each

Zircon Not Unlike Diamond

The gem stone nearest in appear
ance to the diamond is colorless
zircon. The index Of refraction of
this mineral approaches that Of
the diamond, but it lacks the dis
pensive properties Of the diamond
and does not show the bright red
and blue flashes of the latter stone.
The zircon has a hardness less than
that Of the diamond. These stones
are found in Ceylon, but are usu-
ally obtained by decolorizing col
ored stones by careful heating.
They are sometimes called Ma
duro diamonds. They are classed
as semi-precious stones and are
valued at about $40 a carat.

Peace Rail Outlet Move
 Postponed Indefinitely
Secretary of Alaska

A Radio broadcast from Van .ouver Wednesday evening carried an announcement ap- parently from official sources indicating indefinite postpon- ment of the Peace River rail outlet project. The Herald has not been able to ascertain the full context of the statement, owing to poor reception at the time, but it appears that ob- jections to the proposed rail construction are based on the view that there is not enough production in the Peace area 10 warrant a new outlet for come years and that for the present traffic to and from that section can be adequately handled over existing rail lines.
 Present restricted financial conditions were also mentioned as a factor in the decision to defer rail construction.
