TIE D1CTOR AND GOOD

The sentiment in favor OF improV-
inc country roads is growing every
vao, 1t has reached our Ieglsia-
I've assemblies, ard bills are beng
iatroduced in ORDER to secure State
all in the mater. Good roads are
thinos which no class OF persons
would appreciate more thah phya'-
a,ans and 10 none would they brlng
more direct personal comfort, ana
aven practical financial help. On a
mood road the country doctor can
fravel ten miles an hour, on a Dad
one barely five. The time required
IN doing his work is d"noIe1' Ine
phvsical weariness is curtalleo'
Beside this, the patient suffers 10,
the doctors visits are delayed ana
less numerous. He cannot watch
the patient so closely, and ne brings
TO his work wealied body.
Perhaps the horse would argue
most eloquently of all, if he could
sneak in favor of good roads. us
working life would be heightened
ara bis working days made easier.
With goo4 roads the bicycle could
be utilized, aud through its invlg-
Grating influence, perhaps the coun-
try doctor would cease, as years
rolled on. to obese from too much
s,tting IN a wagon, his wits would
be sharper, his professional work
better.
BY all means, then, let the doc'H
ors take up the gospel OF good
roads and urge their constructions
They make intercourse more easy

iovabIe; aud they are, in fine, an

NEW SAPPHIRE FIELDS.

An Old Prospector Finds Them While
Washing for Gold.
nj. q. Bryan, ST., of P%hilipsburg, went
out prospecting about two or three weeks
ago and by chance he wandered up the west
fork of Rock creek and began prospecting
for placer gold near the surveyed line of the
Butte, Anaconda Il Pacific railway, says
the Dillon Examiner. In the bottom of
each pan of dirt the old gentleman noticed
several bright little stones. and, having sew
sral little grand children, he concluded to
save a few of the largest and prettless for
the little ones to play with. He saved a
small bottle full, and when he returned
home he handed she bottle to n of his
sops with the remark the stones
were Montana sapphires with q few
rubies and diamonds mixed In
for good measure. Jeweler Whalen
was called upon, and after a close examina-
ton he pronounced them just what Mr..
BRYAN had so innocently and playfully said
they we're. Mr.. Bryan located several
acres Of placer ground, and says he can
find fine colors from the grass roots, but
has not yet prospected bed rock, where he
expects much greater things.
An old prospector came to Anaconda
from that section, and he gives it as his
opinion that there are good diggings there.
and says that while all of the sapphires 80
far found are small, they can be found in
abundance. Several parties from Granite
nave already hauled in some lumber, Il
are preparing to ground slulce as rapidly as
possible.

FLATHEAD COAL FIELDS.
Their Extent Found to Be Greater Than at
First Supposed.

Their Extent Found to Be Greater Than at
First Supposed.
ALI Shipley, who came in from the Flat
head, has just finished making q further
examination of the coal fields, says the
Missoulian. He finds that they are of con-
siderably greater extent than is generally
supposed, as they stretch from near Column
bia Falls, where they are now being worked
by the Northern international improvement
company, for a great many miles to the
northeast in the valley of the North Fork
of the Flathead. The veins worked by the
above company. eight in number, are the
bottom veins 80 far as discovered, of the
coal measures. The veins pitch to
the northeast and strike northwest
and southeast. At Columbia Falls the
pitch is about As degrees, but towards the
eastward the veins t1atten out. Along the
strike of the veins the coal is t~raceable to
within six miles of the boundary line be-
tween Montana and British America, and
where the indications of coal are lost the oil
commences. Mr.. Shipley made a large
number of locations during this trip. The
valley is fat and from twenty to thirty
miles in width and the coal is consequently
easy of aCCes8,
1t is reported that the Great Northern
railroad is about to purchase the coal lands
