Grants Pass, Or, Oat. I. Bngl
returning from surveying the Gallee
creek wagon road report th finding of
a large body of Jade stone, or Callfor-
nlta, as George P. Kuns. the gem expert
of New York, classed the recent find of
this mineral ta the Indian areek country
of northern California. This seml
prectous stone wee known to the Greeks
by ths name of Nephroa, a kidney, from
lta supposed wonderful remedial quali
ties in dlaeasea of , that organ.
Tha new find on Rogue river bj the
variety known by mineralogists as ad
Ite, a silicate of alumina with a hard
ness between seven end eight and a spec
ific gravity of about three, and a cryst
alline, granular structure. It ta perhaps
not quite eo tough aa nephrite, the sil
icate of magnesia. Geologically speak
ing, this mineral la found la aa extensive
dike nearly 100 feet wide In serpentine
formation, with a north and south strike
and a dtp to tha east. It was discover ed
by th workmen In blasting out tb road
bed. After many attempte to drill tt
with th hardest of tampered steel ra
effort was abandoned aa fruitless. Re
peated blows with ponderous sledge ham
mere In the hands of the workmen was
th only means by which it sou Id be re
duced to a proper condition te be re
moved from the right of way.
Bxperts have made a careful examina
tion of the new discovery and pronounce
It almost identical with that found tn
northern California, with perhaps a Httl
mar apaolty and greater tcughneaa.
An reed la sacred history of tha New
Jeruaadem with lta streets paced with
