Rubies Higher Priced Now Than For Years Chicago—Rubies, one of the most fashionable and expensive of gems, are higher priced now than for years. The value of tho ruby always has depended not only on Its beauty as a crystal jewel button Its rarity. As a jewel it antedates the diamond and from the earliest centuries until now it has been rare. Carat for carat, it is more costly than the diamond. The greater part of the world's rubies come from Burmah and the output, of Burmese mines is on tho wane. In 1915 the output was 167,- 904 carats; in 1916, 136,785 carats; in 1917, 132,409 carats. As the sup ply has decreased, the value has risen. The value of the output In 1915 was $189,748; in 1916, $174,- 454; and in 1917, $212,057. "Rubies, sapphires and spinels," says L. P. Briggs, U. S. Consul at Rangoon, In a report submitted to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic . onimerce at Washington, "come *-om the district on the east bank of, the Irrawaddy river, 150 miles north of Mandalay. "Burmese jado comes from the Myitkyina district in the extreme northern part of Burmah. The in dustry of mining It, is entirely In the hands of the Chinese and the jiroduct is taken to China. The quantity is increasing only gradually but the value has increased enorm ously in the last year on account of the unusually large amount of jewel and ornamental jade produced. Small quantities of amber are found in the same district. Of jade, 11,437 huhdredweight and of amber, 77 hundredweight were mined during the last three years."
