Getna in the California Building.'
In the California building at the
Lewis aud Clark exposition there
ii a showcase which is surrounded
all day long by a crowd of interest
ed people, it majority of whom are
women. The reason for this is
that the case contains a bewilder
ing assortment of precious stoues,
and the remarkable circumstance is
that these stones are all from the
mines of San Diego county, Cal.
San Diego, the most southern
county in California, produces now
about 100,000 worth of precious
gems each year, among them kun-
sites, a new gem, the value of which
was discovered by Prof. George F,
Kunz, after whom it was named.
A great number of specimens of
kunzite are exhibited, among them
one of the size of a small waluut,
which is insured for $1530, and a
pendant valued at $q6o. Kunzite
has nearly the brilliancy of a dia
mond, and looks much like one, ex
cept that it is ot a delicate lilac
color.
The gems are mined extensively
in San Diego county, and are cut
and polished for the most part in
city of San Diego. Besides kuu
zite, there are exhibited in the
showcase toumalines, hyacinths,
beryls, topazes and many less valu
able stones. A single large speci
meu contains in the rough, white,
yellow and blue topszes: tiink and
white beryls, black, pink and green
tourmalines, garnets, and smoky
and white quartz crystals. The
stones are comparatively cheap, be
ing valued at from $6 to $2$ a car
at, and are extremely beautiful.
San Diego people believe that in
the gem discoveries they have
found a new resource that will make
their country world-famous.

Champoeg and arrived there on the
night of May 1, lg-tf.
It was a motley crowd that thronged
the camping ground at Champoeg on
that May morning May 2, 1843. Meek
was there, talking earnestly and persua
sively to the French, who felt that they
owed much to his Canadian element.

displayed a natural leadership, for he B"f' fair together in the near future
wbisered to LeBreton to call for a
"divide." This was done, and Joe
Meek, fired bv a devotion to what 1 e
deemed a great cause, jumped to his
feet, making a five-minute speech in
favor of the provisional government as
advocated by the American element.
Suddenly ho jumped over an imaginary
line, drew a mark w ith the ton of his
great trapper's boot, and said:
"Theme for a divide, follow me.
Here's your American territory "vit
here. Everybody come!" Of the 10J

ranging themselves by the side of th
trapper and then started the nitcl. tt

This is the true version of Meek's art
in securing the great dominion of Ore-
gun, Washington and Idaho to the Unl
ted States. He lived to see Tualatin
county changed to real Washington
county, and died full of honors, in 1875,
his remains now resting in a quiet little
churchyard four miles north of Hills
hero, and resting beside him is Virginia,
his Indian wife.
