The Chicago Manufacturing Jewellers' Association advertises elsewhere that it has opened at Hoffnung's Buildings, Pitt-street, an exposition of
jewellery of its own make, set with the California diamond, which is stated to be "a rare stone of great merit, impossible to distinguish from the
genuine diamond in cut and brilliancy." The articles, which comprise the latest novelties, are, it is said, being, offered at specially low prices, in
order to introduce them into this country and make them known to the public. A large assortment of ladies' and gentlemens' watches is also offered.

Even since they commenced business In Hoffnung's Buildings, 159 Pitt-street, the windows, of the Chicago Manufacturing Jewellers' Association have proved a great attraction to passers-by. Nor is this to be wondered at, considering the good appearance and remarkably low prices of the watches, brooches, rings, chains, and other articles of jewellery displayed for sale. The firm have just opened a fresh, consignment of rolled gold, Oreid and Roman gold, and solid silver jewellery, which is worth inspection. The California diamond, with which the brooches, rings, &c, are set; is a very deceptive imitation of the genuine stone, and requires an expert to distinguish it from the real diamond.

JOCHIM MATTHIAS WENDT
Adelaide
Mattei Remedies
In the Federal House of Representatives on September 12, Mr. Archibald, Representative of Hindmarsh, S.A., made a vigorous effort to persuade the Government to allow the Mattei remedies to be distributed in South Australia. He stated that the agent for them was Mr. Wendt, a prominent jeweller in Adelaide, who distributed them as a work of love, and on his death bequeathed the agency to his son, through whom customers had been able to get the remedies without paying any handling cost or middlemen's profits. The Customs Department obtained the formulae; an expert pronounced that they contained nothing that would give any benefit to those who used them. Parliaments had a right to say that no man should take advantage of the ailments or the credulity of his neighbors, but when there was a demand for a patent medicine, which the authorities could not prove to be in any way injurious, Parliament was going outside its province in prohibiting the distribution of it.
Returning to the subject on September 24, Mr. Archibald asked the Minister of Trade and Customs if he would remove the embargo on the importation of these remedies into South Australia. The reply was : —"It is not considered advisable to repeal the proclamation. The remedies contain no detectable active ingredients, and purport to have certain qualities and to possess certain therapeutic effects, which cannot without fraud be claimed for them. These fradulent claims render necessary the protection of the public by prohibition of importation."

Morris Tabatznick, a jeweller, of Sydney road, Brunswick, was charged in the City Court yesterday with having failed to submit Federal income tax returns for 1920 and 1921.
Claude Quinlivan, an officer of the department, said that Tabatznick lodged his returns after demands had been made. He showed that his income for 1920 was £293, and for 1921, £580. Investigation of his books showed that his taxable income for 1920 was £598, and for 1921, £750.
Tabatznick said that he was preparing his returns when the demand for them was made. He could not explain the difference between his figures and the department's figures.
Mr. E. Notley Moore, P.M., fined Tabatznick £20 on each charge.

HENRY SIMKIN(S?)

RUFFIANISM IN MELBOURNE
THREE MEN ASSAULTED BY LARRIKINS
KNOCKED INTO INSENSIBILITY
Melbourne, Wednesday
A disgraceful exhibition of ruffianism was witnessed in the heart of Melbourne last night, when a band of larrikins, 15 to 20 strong set upon three respectable, unoffending citizens, and beat and kicked them into insensibility. The scene of the outrage was Royal-lane, between the Old England Hotel and the Melbourne Coffee-Palace, Bourke-street.
The principal sufferer was Henry Simkin, a silversmith. Simkin, with his son and a Mr.White, was walking down Royal-lane, when Simkin Juinor, who was in advance, heard one of the gang say: "Give it to him". Turning round he saw his father lying on the ground amidst a savage mob, who were kicking his prostrate body.
Simkin, senior, who is an elderly white-haired man, was able to offer no resistance, and was soon kicked into insensibility. The son rushed to his father's assistance, but was at once borne to earth by the weight of numbers, and stunned.
White pluckily attempted a rescue, but fared similarly.

Re: Early Australian Silversmiths
AUSTRALIA AS A GEM PRODUCER
One important advantage favoring Australia’s own jewelry trade is that the country is a prolific producer of gems. Most precious stones, except
diamonds, are found in Australia, and it is, therefore, useless to export to Australia jewelry containing such gems. Mining for gems is not carried
on systematically, nor does any large amount of capital appear to be invested therein; nevertheless a great number of valuable gems are constantly being brought by individual prospectors to Melbourne and Sidney and sold to jewelry establishments at prices which, to those engaged in jewelry trade in America, would seem astonishingly low. In fact, the favorable prices at which high-class gems may be secured have attracted attention in the United States, and several leading American jewelry houses are now represented by their own buyers in Australia.
The gem most sought after is the Australian black opal, which is found nowhere else in the world. lt appears in limited quantities in the matrix of ironstone and sandstone in the Lightning Ridge district of New South Wales. It is estimated that since 1890 opals valued at over $5,500,000 have been found in the State of New South Wales. The State of Queensland also produces many opals, the production up to the present time amounting to nearly $1,000,000. Sapphires rank next among Australian gems in value of production. They are found in New South Wales and in Queensland, chiefly in the latter state, in the gravel or creek beds.The gems show excellent fire and luster, but the color is darker blue that the Oriental sapphire. In Queensland the present production amounts to about $75,000 per year, the total output to date being about $700,000. Other precious gems found in different parts of Australia include emeralds, turquoises, topazes, zircons, garnets, rubies, amethysts, tourmaline and beryls. Diamonds are found to a limited extent in New South Wales and in South Australia.
In the latter state the total production up to date has been somewhat over $500,000. The diamonds found locally are used mostly for glass cutting, while South African diamonds are mostly used in the jewelry trade. Pearls found in pearl-shell fishing along the northern coast of Australia are usually small, but their aggregate value is probably considerable. The quest for pearl shells is perhaps the most important industry of the northern part of Australia.
