SILVER BOW SAPPFIIRES.

Within the past few weeks the
corps Of clerks at the County
Recorders office has been kept very
busy copying off the numerous
sapphire location notices, which
have been made by the wholesale
lately, neal Silver Bow. Junction.
1t is estimated that 10000 acres
have been located, and yesterday
location notices covering 1920 acres
were filed for record.
The great surprise OF many is
where did the locators find so much
vacant land. A local surveyor has
observed this raid upon lands "con-
tanning gold and precious stones
with considerable amusement.
He has looked some of the loca-
ton notices up but the description
given is so unintelligible that he
could not tell exactly where they
were located. He says very little
unclaimed land lies in that vicinity
and much of it is patented. HI
doubts if it contains gold, and say
ever though it did, the locator'
could not get any water with which
to work it. The reason for this i.
hat the Silver Bow Water Com
pany owns all the water rights il
that neighborhood. Very few sap
phires have been shown from there
and those that have been exhibited
are Of little value. 1t is possible
he thinks, that some of the location
contain precious stones, but in mos
cases he predicts that the o
the land will come in and GUST tn
men who have the sapphire craze
The Silver Bow sapphire fields, VI
to date, are very much in embryo

THE COMING RIVAL IN VALUE
OF GOLD.

The increased demand for platinum
for use as poles in electro-chemical
batteries, for crucibles, etc, has
raised the price of hat metal to a
point neve before reached, Its pres.
ent value being nearly three.fourths
that of gold. Three years ago,
platinum cost approximately el6
per pound. Today it is worth double
this price and is eleven times dearer
than silver. The metal which is in
despensible in the manufacture of
numerous scientific instruments, is
only found in small quantities,
namely, in the form of platin-
UNI ore in Peru, Columbia and
Brazil; in small steelgray grains in
the Ural mountains, in California,
the Oregon hills and Borneo. The
principal source of production is in
the Urals. The yearly output has
never amounted to more than four
tons, and at present it does not ex.
coed three tons. Should not new
and more fructiferous deposits be
discovered, and this is scarcely prob
able, platinum will soon be literally
'worth its weight in gold."--In-
dustry.

LOOKING UP.

The Granite people are very much
elated over the recent strike in. the
seventeenth level and figure that with
1000 feet they have above and with
the 1000 feet the new strike gives
them, they will have 100000 tons Of
ore, which is fully as much, and, in
fact, very much more than was taken
from the mine during the past year
The regular Granite Mountain re-
port received yesterday was rather
bullish in this stock and coming on
top of the news of the strike in the
seventeenth level, opened the market
strong at $3.50 to $1S bid for TWEEN
ty shares, which however, were not
offered under $40. The report re-
ferred to was written before the
strike in the lower level and says
hat in that portion of the mine there
was some quartz and the outlook was
very fine. In No. 10 there were
four and a half feet of ore that assay.

body assayed from 20 to 200 ounces
The first public sale yesterday was
$500, at which twenty shares sold.
but outside there were sales to pri-
vate individuals at $3.50 to SIS
per share, which is an advance Of
over IS per share since the news Of
the strike was received.

and yesterday bids for ten shares
ranged from $3.50 to $3.50 ard
a sale of forty shares was made
