MONTANA SAPPHIRES.
A River Bar Full of the Treasured Blue
Beauties.

Beauties.
Ex-Governor S. L. Hauser of Montana,
chatting with me about that State, remarked
that it produced minerals annually of greater
value than any other State in the Union, and
that Helena had a population possessing the
greatest wealth per capita of any city in the
country. Then ne said: Besides which,
we have got what no other State or country
possssses-a river bar tull of sapphires."
This was something novel, and | inquired
for particulars. "The sapphire deposits are
in two or three bars of the Missouri, about
thirteen miles from Helena. The area OF
the bars is several hundred acres, and was
once dug over for gold mining in the days
when labor was 81 or SS per day. 1t has
been bought up and held for working over
for gold when labor gets cheaper, and is
said to contain plenty of gold for labor at So
day. The sapphires are so thick in some
parts Of it that simply by working the dirt
over with the hands twenty or thirty large
sized stones can be found. Tie color is not
deep blue, but of greensh-blue tint that has
hitherto been found only in fancy sapphires,
as the jewelers. call them, which have been
rare aud commanded high prices. An En-
glish company has bought one-tenth of the
area for $250,0o0 and intends to work it over
for the sapphires on large scale. New

An Explanation of the Issuing of the Pass
port Decree.
LONDON, March 9.-The Times Berlin
correspondent makes a long statement,
claiming to represent Emperor William's
reasons for his passport decree. Tie cor
respondent repudiates the idea that the En-
peror was misinformed as TO the state OF
affairs brought about by his mothers So
journ in Paris. The correspondent says:
The courtesy he phe Emperor sought to
establish was merely that of cOmbalants
politely bowing before crossing swords
He never had any idea that reconciliation
was possible, but from the moment his
action was interpreted as a sign Of weak
ness, by the handful Of bowling dervisheS
who succeeded in making the whole matte
giddy, it was his duty TO resume his dignity
as the head of the German nation. 1t was
not the Emperor'S business to LOOK for tie
motives of these outtuT5ts. Tie measure Is
merely temporary rampant behind which
be can safely await the not distant day
when the opinion of the French people will
pass judgment on these useless indications
Then when the French people have re-
covered their independent spirit Will the
barriers be again lowered"
