miles east Of Deer Lodge many beaui-
full gems have been found, also of pale
color similar to those Of the Missouri
river, but a few fine red, pink and
green gems have been found there.
Fewer Opaque stones occur among the
Deer Lodge sapphires, and there are
many very thin broad stones or tabular
prisms much worn, so that lot of
them together would appear much
different from the EldOradO stones, and
would be easily distinguished in fact,
lot of the Eldorado sapphires would
look poorer than any other average lot
from Montana since there are more
Opaque stones among them than from
most of the other localities.
The raised triangular face is found
on the crystals here. and it also occurs
at every other Montana locality. Very
few gems are brought at present from
this district, but lately more are seen
from the new district on the West
Fork of Rock creek about twenty-five
miles west of Philipsburg.
Here the sapphires are being washed
out of the gravel Of one or two gul ches
in considerable quantities, but finely
colored stones being scarce. they bring
high prices. Some very beautiful deep
pink, Dltt anu NblION gems nave Deeu
cut out from Rock creek. aud the
owners have sent out many thousands
of small stones to be used for watch
| jewels.
There is probably larger proportion
of red and pink stones found here than
at any other place in Montana, and
some Of them are exceedingly brilliant
and attractive. Fine gems weighing
| from one half tO two and CnC half
ats, of brilliant cherry red Or deep
pink have been cut, and IA one carat
stone in my collection is very dark
blue, and brilliant for the color. but it
lacks that peculiarly soft or velvety
blue found i'll the fine Oriental gems.
1t is of finer and deeper blue, how
ever. than any l have seen, except
possibly some from the new locality at
YOgo, Fergus county.
The Rock creek placers produce quite
a proportion of long cystals, some as
long as one inch, and many are ter
minated by fiat triangular plane evil
IDENTIFY hemihedral, and there are also
many rounded stones.
This district has been worked but
little, and no one has yet seen the sap
phires in place. Dark red garnets,
small CLASSY feldspar crystals, specular
iron and minute perfect quartz crystals
were noticed il panning out the Rock
creek sapphires.

We Want the County Institute.

Several months ago THE STAR sug-
gested that our new County Superin-
tendent get out OF the old way Of
continuously holding the county insti-
tutes at Brookville, and that it be held
at Reynoldsville, Punxsutawney and
Brookville In turn. THE STAR cited
reasons why the change should be made,
which we will not repeat at this time.
Prof. Teitrick informed us after he
read the article In The STAR that he is
of the opinion that it would be the
proper thing to do. Last week the Du-
Bois Courier correspondent from this
place suggested that the place Of hold
ing the institute be changed. We un-
derstand there is some talk OF circulat-
ing petition In this place to be sent TO
Prof. Teitrick requesting him to change
the place Of holding the institute and
that it be held in Reynoldsville this
year. There Is no reason why Brook
vile should have the institute year
after year. Pass 1t around, Bro.
Teitrick.

Wild Cat Killed Yesterday.

A fellow named Bailey was in town
last evening with a large domestic cat
that had been killed In the woods near
Sykesville yesterday afternoon after u
hard fight, which he was determined to
call wild cat. The dead cat drew a
large crowd and occasioned considerable
amusement by some Of those present
agreeing with the young man that It
was wild cat. Bailey said the cat had
whipped four large dogs and almost
fatigued four men, who pounded 1t on
the head with clubs, before the animal
gave up the battle. AS 1t was COM
mon cat that had inhabited the woods
until IL had become ferocious, Bailey
started home somewhat crest-fallen be-
cause his game had not proven to be a
real wild cat and he failed to get the
bounty expected and fair price for
the cats skin.

There is law on the statute books of
Pennsylvania making It the duty of
constables or supervisors to see that
owners of lands destroy all Canada
thistles on their lands. The law has
been dead letter in this section of the
State, at least, for sometime, but IL is
now being strictly enforced in Winslow
township. The suppositon, by some, is
that the enforcement of the law Is the
outcome of the "fence law" being en-
forced by some land owners. BE that
supposition right or wrong, it remains
just the same that number Of idle men
are now employed in trying to exter-
inmate the Canada thistles on lands of
corporations and individuals in Winslow
township. The Canada thistle law as
amended in 1885, is as follows:
That II any person, or persons, or
corporations, holding lands in this
Commonwealth, either by lease OF
otherwise, on which any Canada thstles
or the weeds commonly known as such
shall be growing, and likely to ripen
seed thereon, shall neglect or refuse 10
cut and destroy the same so as to pre-
vent the seed thereof from ripenng. II
shall and may be lawful for any person
or persons, who may consider them
selves aggrieved or about to be injured
by such neglect or refusal, to inform by
written notice any constable or super
visor Of the township or district, in
which the said Canada thistles or weeds
may be growing, whose duty 1t shall
then be to give five days notice In
writing to such person or persons or
corporation to cut and destroy such
thistles or weeds, and on their neglect
or refusal to cut and destroy the same
at the end Of the 1--WE days, it shall be
the duty Of the officer giving such notice
TO enter upon such premises, with such
other person or persons as he may EN-
ploy, and cut down such Canada thistles,
and the said officer or other persons so
employed, shall be entitled to recover
from such person or persons or corpora
tion owning or holding land as afore-
said, compensation at the rate of two
dollars and fifty cents per day, and the
officer serving such notice shall likewise
be entitled to fee of fifty cents, to-
getber with six cents mileage for each
mile, circular, necessarily travelled, to
be recovered as debts Of like amount
before any justice or court in said
counties.

The worst man in any community is
the man who says the most mean things
about his neighbors. Such character
is necessarily small Drained, egotisti-
cal, envious and venomous creature,
who deserves the contempt Of every
large hearted man in the world. But
there are few communities that are not
afflicted with this sort of pestilence.
Knowing themselves to be mean and

cannot be anything else, they try to
make other people appear so by snarling,
back biting and scurility.

Law Suit Started.

The Oil City Fuel Supply Co. entered
suit against Samuel Tilton Reynolds
before Justice of the Peace in Brook
vile on Monday of this week for claim
of something like s72,00 for gas furnish
ed for Mr.. Reynolds brick-kiln in 1891
or 1892. As an offset to the gas
company's claim Mr.. Reynolds present
ed bill of eighteen hundred dollars
for damage. His claim is that the
company was to furnish sufficient
pressure of gas to burn the brick
thoroughly and that this the company
failed to do and consequently kiln Of
brick was spoiled, which delayed him
in the erection of his brick block.

Must be Vaccinated.

One OF the enactments OF the last
session Of the Legislature was measure
TO provide for the more effective pro-
lection Of the public health throughout
the state. One section in particular OF
this act, which is now in effect, has an
important bearing upon the public
schools. It requires the successful
vaccination Of every child before 1t can
be admitted to the schools.
This section relating to this require
ment reads as follows: "All principals
or other persons in charge Of schools as
aforesaid are hereby required to refuse
the admission of any child to the schools
under their charge or supervision, ex-
cept upon a certificate signed by a
physician, setting forth that such child
has been successfully vaccinated, or
that it has previously had smallpox"
AS will DO seen by the act all children
must be properly vsccinated and provid'
ed with physicians certificate by the
time the schools commence in August
Without these certificates none can be
admitted.

Good Advice.

lows: "There are young men that dc
not work, my son; but the world is not
proud OF them. 1t does not know their
names even; it simply speaks of them
as old so-and-so's boys. Nobody likes
them, nobody hates them; the great
busy world doesn't even know they are
there. So find out what you want to
do, son. and take of your coat and make
a dust in the world. The buster you
are the less deviltry you are apt to get
into. the sweetor will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays,
and the better satisfied will the world
be with you"
