V Cffi FIELDS Remarkable Specimens Are , Brought to Chicago . - from Brazil ' CHICAGO, Dec. 20. (By the Associated ' Press!) A "topas weighing five pounds,' remarkable not only tor its ' size but for Its clearness, is among the specimens brought back to Chhieago 1y Dr. Oliver. C. Farrington, curator' of the - department of geology of Field Museum, who has Just re turned from an expedition to Gra in. The expedition traveled .2000 miles through the diamond, gold and precious stone fields of the South American republic, cover- lng more than 300 miles through ' the mountains ot the state of 'Min aa Gerais on mule back. ; Diamonds Collected ; " The specimens obtained Include gold, diamonds,1 aquamarines,'- ber yls, emeralds and topazes, besides a number of minerals of the Tare earths. Among the specimens Dr. Farrlngton believes he has 'one t or two minerals hitherto unknown . to science. . v ' : The big five pound topas is one of a large number , of enor ; inons' semi-precious stones : ob tained by the scientists, but in point ot size is an .lnfanct .com pared to a twenty-six' pound topaz 'which .they saw at one of the , mines. The giant atone was val ued at about f 75 a pound. Cut up and polished a first grade topas is worth from $5 to $10 a , carat.-" r.-'i" 1 " : ' : llinee VislteoT Diamond mines .were visited In the region -of Diamantlna, S00 miles north of 1Uo;' In the center . of a vast diamond bearing area. , The stones can" be successfully mined only In the neighborhood of water tor washing the coarse earth away. ; The diamonds are found Jn' beds totally different from those In South Africa, the matrix being a quartzite composed of sands washed from older lands. , The semi-precious stones in the state of Minas Gerais are found in , coarse , granites or pegmatites so decomposed that the gems can be mined with a shovel. The expedition visited the Mor ro Velho gold mine, which is the deepest mining shaft on , earth. Its lowest level is 7000 feet below the surface. At this great depth the temperature of the rock is 117 degrees Fahrenheit, making it necessary to maintain an elab orate refrigeration plant on the surface to force, cold air down to the miners.. The deeper the shaft goes, , however the-richer the ore foond,' so 5 the" ! additional cost of mining Is more than offset by the returns.:' r.XrV Iron Ore to Common ore of the . finest quality for; steel manufacture la so "xom mon in this district," according to Dr.. Farrtngton, ,that his party jode for day. after day over "moun tains, valleys ahd. plains of 'solid Iron deposits. ' Manganese, alam- inom , and ' other - valuable ores ifrere found "in abundance. The Brazilians of ' the interior were almost 'uniformly : friendly, and "willing" tdj give every assist ance ' f n thn arrf entlata. Dr; Far-1 rlngton reported, except in one town where" he was nearly -mobbed when a rumor spread that he in tended to buy a gold mine which was' to be 'sold at "auction. The natives objected to a foreigner ob taining the mine and spent most of the night In a demonstration tn . front 1 of "the - house - where ' he was 'staying, shooting, exploding dynamite " cartridges, singing and shouting derisively. Typewriters Found American automobiles, type writers, sewing machines and oth er mechanical appliances were very common In the interior, ho---ever, and American movies enjoy almost a monopoly, he said. "Zren the remote villages have hfir cinema theatres, where the Amer ican favorites -are shown. - Vild west films were the moat popular. Arthnr Crawford, a New "Tor k newspaper humorist, committed suicide the other day, and the ex perts said he was suffering from what might be called jester's mel ancholy.
