American-mined jewels highlight Spencer display
By KEVIN MILLS Staff Reporter
Thirty-one American-minded jewels compose a native treasure chest called the *Woolly Museum*, which is displayed through March in the North Balcony of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Jewelry.
The American Gem Society, a non-profit professional organization of jewelers and educators, conceived the collection as a tool to educate the public about American gems.
The gems are set in jewelry designed by Aldo Cipollino, a fashion consultant to the Society. Copilomo formerly was employed by both Tiffany and Carter designer designer.
America is not a major gem-producing country, but it is the major source for turquoise, sahara and tourmaline.
A 216 carat Arizona turquoise made the bread of an earl necked earpiece with Cipula for the collection. The eagle's eye is an .82 carat Montana sapphire.
Most of the American turquoise is mined in the Southwest, where it is frequently used in silver jewelry fashioned by Indians.
THE SAPPHIRE mine in Yogo Gulch, Mont., is the largest saphnite deposit in the world, stretching for more than five miles. It was discovered by gold miners in the
1890s, who at first mistook the gem crystals for broken bits of glass.
America's third major gemstone, the tourmaline, is found primarily in California. It is rich in iron and is often found in bi-colored crystals. The watermelon tourmaline, for instance, has a greenish hue.
ARKANAS HAS YIELDED most of this
city since the last mining
minas has ceased there. The Crater of
Diamonds" in *Murfreesboro* is now a state
park, and the public can browse and look for
them.
A flawless, colorless 2.31 carat diamond from the collection for an 18 karat gold for the set collect in a case was cut from a piece of rough stone that had been sitting in the Smithsonian Institution.
The collection also includes rubles from the Carolina, Wisconsin, and U.S. owner-known semi-precious stones such as California benite, North Carolina kunzite and Connecticut
After the collection tours the country it will be housed permanently at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.

The fire caused an estimated $100,000 to the restaurant, which is owned by Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm.
Fire Chief Jim McWain said the cause of the blaze was still undetermined.
The fire began about 12:30 a.m. Friday and took firemen about five hours to contain. The firefighters received the building's roof collapsed as part of the building's roof collapsed.
Two adjoining buildings housing a dress shop and a photographic studio were damaged by fire, smoke and water. The damage was covered by the restaurant, were also damaged.
The kitchen area of the restaurant received the most damage, fire officials said. The fire collapsed during the fire. Water and smoke damage was heavy throughout the building.
Schumm said he planned to re-open the restaurant as soon as possible. He anticipated about a month's delay.
Sen. Bob Dole says there are "five M's" important to politics: money, management, manpower, momentum and the media.

But the last four, he now admits, are impossible without the first one.
Lack of money ends Dole's bid
Dole found out the hard way over the last 11 months as his quest for the Republican presidential nomination fell flat on its face.
"I sort of felt like Chrysler," Dole said here Saturday, officially announcing that he was withdrawing from the GOP race. "I felt you were the product, but we also had a cash flow problem."
"Money was the big problem. You just can't stay in the race with a million dollars when everyone else has nine, 10 or 11 million."
No doubt most of the crowd woke up early to hear Dole, though. Reservations poured in when it was announced Thursday that he would be the keynote speaker.

Commerce second "Eggs and Issues"
THERE WAS no mystery surrounding the announcement, however. It was all but a
formality after disastrous showings in the first five presidential primaries.
Dole, Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 presidential race, never received more than 1.5 percent of the vote and won no delegates.
"It has been clear for quite some time that I did not have the time, money, management or organization to remain a viable candidate," he said. "It was a long
Dole also said that his involvement with
the $4 \frac{1}{2}$ month debate on the controversial windfall oil profits tax seriously damaged his chances for the nomination.
"The basic irony is a bit painful," he admitted, "What I considered to be my greatest asset—a record of experience and experience—actually turned into my great liability."
"I only had time to campaign on weekends and during Congressional recesses. I became a weekend warrior. But it wasn't what I was productive. Nobody were around."
DOLE WAS in especially good spirits at
the early morning affair, unlike his last appearance in Kansas.
During an appearance at Kansas Day festivities in January, he treated the press coldly and refused to discuss his presidential plans.
Dole, 56, had been expected to announce at that time whether he was going to continue his foundering bid for the presidency by getting the receiving-elected to a third Senate term.
Instead, he told the overflow audience that he needed more time to make a decision.
"I have nothing more to say," he said when approached afterward.
But Saturday, the Senator was cracking jokes about everything from KU sports to Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz. He said he would be candidly indicted who have called it moot recently.
Dole drew laughter when he jokingly explained the reason he had chosen Lawrence for his announcement.
"We're used to losers" he said.
The three-day visit was clearly the unofficial beginning of his Senate re-election campaign.
His most likely opponent is former state Sen. John Simpson of Salina the only declared candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination.
