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."
