EMERALD MINES.
It is very interesting to learn with accuracy the situation of the oriental mines of the emerald, that we may be able to explain where the Greeks and Romans found that mineral, as they could not be acquainted with Peru, the only place in which they are found in our days. We are pleased, therefore, to learn from recent accounts from that part of the world, that Mr. Callot, who was sent by the Pacha of Egypt to look for the ancient emerald mines, has been so fortunate as to discover them in the neighborhood of the Red Sea, which pretty nearly agrees with the account of the site of these treasures, as given by ancient authors.
