Opal Mining Resumed In Mexican District (By Associated Press) QUERETARO. Mexico. Aug. 6 Opal mining in this district, an industry a3 yet untouched by foreign capital, ha3 shown renewed activity with the close of the war and a normal number of men will soon be at work. The Queretaro dl&trict for more than sixty years had furnished virtually all of the opals sold in the republic, most of the valuable gems going to dealers in Mexico City who in turn ship them to the United StateR. Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems. Dynamite is used to blast the gems from the ground. After the rock is broken into sizable piece3 it is taken to the shops for the grinding and polishing processes. Modern methods are not used, the rough stones merely being placed on spindles and applied to an ordinary grindstone worked by foot power. Vigorous rubbing on soft leather is the last step in completing an opal for the market.
