The ohio River Road All Right.

President George W. Thompson, OF
the Ohio River Railroad Company, was
in the city yesterday, and told a RE
isrER reporter that his road was again
in good shape, after the wreck and
ruin wrought by the food, I'VE
would have been in good trim long ago. -
said the President, had it not been
for the very large amount Of freight
we have had to handle since the food,
aggregating $500 cars. That has in
terferred with business In a passenger
way. and has retarded repairs. Why,
we have not had an engine but has been
working night and day. 1t is 4 matter
for congratulation that We have repair
ed the flood damages in the worst sort
OF weather and handled this amount Of
freight without ierailng a passenger
train or hurting passenger. We are
now In good condition, and can transact
business right along.

h Fine the Claims of the Owners More
Than Justified.
Edwin W. Streeter and FL. Mallaby-
Deeley, tha directors who cams over to
report on the property, have finished their
labors and will leave for home to-day.
While talking last night of the reaults of
their visit they united in the opinion that
a personal inspection Of the ground had
more than borne out the statements made
before the company was formed. Since
coming to Helena they have visited the
ground several times, and at each visit have
had gems taken ont under their supervision.
They say the samples they will .taEs back to
London are superior to those sent over by
the Spfatt Brothers. Mr. Streeter 81 cured
one pigeon blood ruby and yentuyed
the opinion that additional exploring
would reveal more OF them, aud also
that Bapphires of q dalk blue
would be found. This was not given as a
fact, but sim ply as an opinion. MIR. NAL

FORMATION OF THE COMPANY.

How Strong Opposition Was Met and
Overcome by Hard Work and Merit.
To flont any sort of an American enter
prise in London is a difficult tack. The or
binary mining companies are particularly
hard to handle, but when the undertaking
is one relating to precious stones, then the
obstacles are particularly hard to overcome.
This is in a large part due to the notorious
Altoona diamond swindle, when some sharp
ers went to London, bought about $40, 600
worth of gems, took them to Arizona and
"salted" a piece of ground. Experts ex-
genuine, and two or three of the smartest
lnen in America dropped a good deal of
money to the %swindlers. A promoter,
after investigation, undertook the work of
organizing n company to take up the Spratt
gem interests. The first thing to be done
American engineer, and A. b. Wood was
selected. He went to the ground, ex-
amined it thoroughly and carefully
and made a most exhaustive report. In
his report, after describing the location
and telling of the early placer mining
are found from the surface down, but most
numerous at and near bedrock. They fol-
low in a measure the same law that deter
mine lthe position of the gold" In an
other place he says: 1.-The sapphires are
found to be numerous over a large area, fol-
nearly three miles. On both benches, and
from tho river bank to the foothills, where.
ever openings were made by the grave
miners" III n supplemental report Mr..
Wood says that ''as compared with we'll
known profitable California hydraulic
mines, Eldorado bar would be called rict
in gold"
Following Mr.. Wood there came two En-
elisn experts. ID. A. Louis. M. L. f. /. C.
ETC.. and Ct. X. Streeter. These gentlemen
endorsed MIR. Woods report, both as to its
geological and Typographical features, and
as to the prices of labor and the methods
of mining.
Then it WIS necessary to obtain expert
opinions as to the character, quality, mar
ket value, etc., of the gems. Prof. A. IL
Church, professor of chemistry at the
Royal academy, u man who 10 prevented by
his position from accepting a fee for his
work, received some of the stones and re-
ported as follows: I'm specific gravity
hardness, crystalline form and optica
properties. the stones received to-day aoret
with the sapphire. | have no hesitation il
~pronouncing them to be true ga uphire."
Another opinion is from Sylvanius p
Thompson, professor in the Technical col
lege, London, who said: II beg to inform
You that the analysis made in my labora.

PERSONNEL OF THE COMPANY.

Men Who are Expected to Make the Mon.
tana Gem the Fashion.
The success of the deal, while based On
the merits of the property, is due in great
part to the high standing of the men who,
as founders, became sponsors for the CON-
pany. It is not very difficult to get men
with titles to act as officers, and to. take
prominent part in the organization of Eng
fish companies; that is. if the promoters
look only to the title and not to the char
acter of the bearer. But the founders of
the Montana Sapphire Co. comprises some of
the most prominent men in England, and
there is not among the list one but who
represents something. OF the nobility
there are n number who are quite close to
the queen. The Marquis of Lorne, the
queens s%on-in-law. is among them. Sir
Francis Knollys, the Prince of Wales
business man, is another; the English am
bassador to st. Petersburg, Sir Robert
Morier, is another. Then, there is the
Marquis OF Breadlebane, deputy governor
a capital of $4,000, 900; the Duke of Port
land, the third richest man in England;
and so the list goes, including. beside, such
men as Lord Chelmsford, Duke of Leister.
Marquis of Tweedesdale. Sir Robert
Collins, Lord Sufisld, Earl of Mayo.
There are also among the founders twenty
six members of the London stock exchange
embracing representatives of the most
prominent firms. Then there are we'll
known bankers. prominent solicitors.
wealthy merchants and capitalists of all
sorts. The jewelry interests are repre-
sented by Edwin w. Streeter and Horatio
Stewart, members of the two most extern
sive diamond firms in England.
The enemies of Montana sapphires
to-day declare they are not fashion
able. If the princess of Wales or the wife
of almost any of the titled founders, should
wear in public a necklace composed of the
Montana gems, the stones would imme-
diately become the thing in Eng
land. They are more brilliant
than the oriental, are capable of
more. artistic setting, and 1t only requires
Dame Fashion to say it is correct, to make
the demand. The ball started in England,
it would soon cross the water and within a
twelvemonth the women Of New York
would be as eager to possess them as they
are everything else which is popular in
cutters in America who understand the
worth of Montana gems, and in conse-
Quence many stones are spoiled by the lap
diaries. This was the trouble at first in
England. But a half dozen men have been
educated to cut the stones. and already
they have been sold over the counters Of
the London jewellers for sums which would
surprise Helena people. When The COM
pany is ready for business, it will have
the stones cut by its own skilled and
trained employees, and bring out to the
best advantage the brilliant and varied
hueS.
