Court Wanted Legal Verdict After
They Could Think.
Harrisburg, Nov. 3.—A wrangling
jury was ordered to take a nap in
order to get a‘ legal verdict in the
longest-wrangled case in a' decade
here. The case apparently came to an
end, when Lewis Reed, a Berrysburg
liquor seller, was acquitted of a
charge of furnishing liquor to men of
known intemperate habits and the
costs were divided between the de
fendant and County Detective James
W’alters.
It was a petty case, tried by Judge
Kunkel, and when the jury went out
it was thought it would return in a
few minutes. On the contrary the 2
good men and true got into a wrangle
and kept it up until evening, when
they demanded something to eat,
which was furnished. Then they start
ed to wrangling again and kept it
up all night, not even going to sleep.
Judge Kunkel was so disgusted that
he told them they could not put the
hiiJf-costs on the detective, and then
told them to go home, take a sleep
and be on hand for the afternoon
session.

Servant Returns Many Times Amount
Stolen 30 Years Ago.
Atlantic City, Nov. 3.—Thirty yoars
ago a servant stole $1.29 from Harry

order for $9.40, the amount of the
therft, with compound interest. Al-

money because its payment has been
a balm to a conscience troubled for
years.
The servant, whose name Bossier
keeps secret, has spent several times

hope of learning the whereabouts of
her former employer, according to her

Gems of All Kinds, From Diamonds
to Agate, Found *ln the United
States—Report Issued by Unitec*
States Geological Survey.
It may perhaps be surprising tc
many people to learn that the United
States produces almost every variety
of previous stone—from diamonds
down. The precious stones produced
In this country last year had a value
of $295,797, against $34,380 in 1909,
according to an advance chapter from
“Mineral Resources of the United
States” on thep reduction of gems
and precious stones in 1910, by Doug
las B. Sterrett, just published by the
United States geological survey. The
large decrease in the output of a
few of the more important gem- min
erals—tourmaline, turquoise^ chryso-
prase, etc.—says Mr. Sterrett, readily
accounted for the fall in the value of
production. As an instance of this de
crease in production, about 8 1-2 tons
of rough turquoise were produced in
1910, as compared with more than 17
tons in 1909.
All the diamonds produced in this
county in 1910 came from Arkansas
and California, the output of Arkan
sas amounting to about 200 stones.
Several diamonds were found in Cal
ifornia last year, one of which weighs
about half a carat and another be
tween 1 3-4 and 2 carats. The latter
is a brilliant, clear^ flawless stone,
with a tinge of yellow.
Colorado yields some very pretty
agates and some are being success
fully handled in the tourist trade,
but a number of these stones sold
each year at the summer resorts of
the state are imported from Germany,
where they have beea polished. Oth
ers are native stones polished abroad,
although some are polished in the
United States.
In Montana a sapphire weighing
over 4 1-2 carats has been found. This
stone when discovered had very ihuch
the shape of a rough diamond crys
tal, on account of which it had very
great refractive i>ower.
In addition 'to duscussing deposits
of precious stones in the United
States, Mr. Sterrett also describes for
eign mines and their output. An ac
count is given of the rediscovery of
certain lost emerald mines in Colom
bia. When the Spanish took posses
sion of that country in the sixteenth
century the emerald mines of the In
dians were seized by them. Excessive
cruelties were practiced by the Span
ish mine workers on the Indians em
ployed in the mines. In the war of
independence of 1816 the country
was so desolated that the mines of
Cosquez and Somondoco were entire
ly lost. A Colombia named Francisco
Restrep, guided by a few hints given
in ancient Spanish parchment maps,
and with little or no knowledge
of geology or emeralds, undertook
the search for the lost emerald
mines. In 1896 he found traces of an
cient workings and later the large
workings of the lost mines. These
mines are 'situated on a ridge of the
great eastern range of the Ajndes, at
an elevation of about 9,000 feet above
sea level. The great open cuts and
tunnels were scattered over an area
6 miles long and 3 miles wide.
It is worthy of note that no par
ticular section of the United States
has a monopoly of precious stone de
posits; for instance, turquoise have
been found both in Virginia and in
Nevada, sapphires tn Indiana and
Montaiu, and topaz in Texas, Colora
do and California. , . ’

ARREST MAYOR FOR VOTING.
t/Vilkes-Barre Executive Not a Tax-
; payer, Base of Charge.
ilkes-Barre, Pa., Nov. 3.—In court
Mayor Lewis P. Kniffen, of this city,
was placed under $1,000 bail to an
swer the charge of illegal voting at
the primary election.
He was held on two counts. The
first alleges that he registered ille
gally and the second that he voted
illegally. Both counts are based on
the allegation that he paid no taxes
for three years, and so could not reg
ister or vote, according to law.
Sounds Reasonable.

The World
And Its Troubles
The grafters go on grafting and the
bribers bribe away;
The bosses still grow fatter and the
people have to pay;
Men with schemes that are unfair.
Keep on thriving everywhere.
But the world goes on contriving to
get better day by day.
The thugs are busy shooting, and the
gangster’s arm is strong;
The men we choose for office are in
clined to wink at wrong;
Though we do our best to drive
Out the crooks and thieves, they
thrive.
But the world keeps bravely getting
somewhat better right along.
The rich lawbreakers calmly keep pur
suing the old game;
They are ever busy claiming what they
have no right to claim;
They take tribute day by day
And the public has to pay.
But the world, with all its troubles,
keeps improving just the sacQie.

United States Geological Survey Pub-
iishea PwHetins'Giving Large Ntim*
bep of Elevations In Weitei*n
States.
The exact altitudes or elevations
of certain principal points in any
area are always matters of interest
and great practical utility. Although
the government surveys have deter
mined the altitude of many thous
ands of mountains and other princi
pal points, the information regarding
them is not all readily available. The
United States geological survey dur
ing the course, of its topographical
surveys, which now cover nearly two-
fifths of the area of the United
States, has determined a large num
ber of exact elevations and they now
are being published in a series of
bulletins each covering either a single
state or a group of states. This se
ries of bulletins, though constitut
ing by no means a complete diction
ary of altitudes of the United States,
gives the exact elevation of many
thousands of points, including a
large number of towns, hills, and
mountains of prominence. There have
just been published four such bulle
tins relating to the states of Ore
gon (Bulletin 462), New Mexico (Bul
letin 464), Montana (Bulletin 482),
and Utah (Bulletin 489), including
the results of work of the geological
survey under the direction of R. B.
Marshall, chief geographer.
The work in Oregon was done in
co-operation with the state from 1905
to 1910, inclusive; in the other
states the work has been carried out
wholly under federal appropriations.
The lowest point in the state of
Oregon thus far marked by the sur
vey is in the Cathlamet quadrangle,
80 feet northeast of the station at
Clifton 8,419 feet above mean sea lev
el. There is a considerable difference
between this and the highest point
io the state thus far marked. This
point is in Crater Lake National
Park northeast of Mount Scott, 7,-
446.26 feet above mean sea level. The
highest point in New Mexico is 9,-
497,523 feet above mean sea level in
the Alamogordo quadrangle, 4 miles
southeast of the Alamo Lumber Com
pany’s camp, on the Sacramento river
road at summit of the mountain.
The highest point in Montana is
Granite Mountain, in the Granite
Peak quadrangle, 12,857 feet above
mean sea level.
In Utah the geological survey has
placed a bronze tablet 11,429,322 feet
above mean sea level, about 4 miles
due west of Gilbert Peak.
