A DARING RIDE.

An Indian romance which almost ri
walls that of Pocahontas and Capt. John
Smith comes from Pine Ridge Agency
William Jacobson, a young fellow in
charge of one of the classes at Carlisle
eloped with Julia Beallard, an intelli-
gent quarter-bred Sioux. The couple
rode from Pine Ridge to Chadron, Neb.
on their ponies during the night, pur-
sued by the girls relatives all the way
They arrived in Chadron in the gray
dawn Of the morning, thoroughly ex-
hausted, and at once proceeded to Sc
cure a license Then, in the presence
of friends of the bride, they were made
man and wife.
The couple met about two years age
at Carlisle, where the young woman was
attending a private seminary, and be-
came enamoredl of each other. They
became engaged, when the girl received
a letter ordering her home to Pine
Ridge. The young couple kept up a
correspondence, fearing that their at
tachment would become known to the
parents of the girl, who were very much
opposed to her forming an alliance
with other than a thoroughbred Sioux
A letter to the girl was finally inter-
cepted by young Sioux admirer, and
laid before the mother. Thereafter not
a letter was permitted. Becoming
alarmed at not receiving an answer
jacobson decided to go to Nebraska
and investigate Upon arriving at the
agency, he contrived secret interview
with the girl and arranged an elope.

showed the source of the gems as com
ing from the erosion of bikes of igneous
rock.
More recently sapphires have been
found throughout a considerable district
dying some rs to 100 miles east of the
Missouri bars, the principal point being
Yogo gulch, on the Yogo forth of Judith
river, near it's headquarters in Fergus
county Montana, on the eastern slope
of the Little Belt Mountains The near
est town is Utica, 10 miles to the north
west, in the same county. The sap
phires occur over q somewhat extended
area, which is being explored and laid
out in claims. They are imbedded in
yellow earthly material, from which they
may be washed out by sluicing, as for
gold the heavy crystals gathering at
the bottom. s. s. Hobson of Great Falls
Mont. the original discoverer of the
gems at Yogo gulch, states that at that
point there are two veins (dikeS) con-
tanning sapphires, which have been
traced for a distance of 1900 to 5000 feet
in an east-and-west course, about 500
feet apart. One of these is rs feet wide
and consists of yellow earth" Ii. e.,
completely decomposeD. 1t has been
found that what was supposed to be
the end of the vein is really 50-foot
fault, and that the vein can be traced
very much further In working down to
a greater depth the unaltered igneous
rock has been reached.
Other localities are also coming to
light in the same state; one of these is
at Rock Creek, Granite county, 80 miles
from Phillipsburg, where the gems are
reported of good blue color, with other
tints, and some pale rubies. Another is
on Cottonwood Creek, IS miles from
Deer Lodge, the stones being of varied
colors, red, pink, yellow and occasionally
blue. The third has been recently an
nounced in Choteau county.
We have here two distinct types of
crystallization in the same mineral,
from the same state, and produced APP
parently under similar conditions in ig
neous rocks. 1t will be extremely in
teresting to learn, by further exploita-
ton and study, whether these two types
bear any fixed or definite relation to
| the particular variety of eruptive rock
in which they occur. The accounts thus

to suggest such possibility

sAPPHIREs IN MONTANA.


The existence of sapphires in the state
Of Mantana has been known for some
years past and has attracted considera-
BILE attention. Several localities are now
known and several distinct modes of oc-
currence They were first found in
transported gravels along the bars Of
the upper Missouri; then they have been
found in the earthly product of decom-
posed bikes, and lastly farther down in
the unaltered igneous rock itself The
succession thus presents a close paral-
lei to the history of the diamond work
ings in South Africa. The first pub
lished description Of the Montana sap
phires was by the late DR.. }. Lawrence
Smith in 1878. He said:
"These pebbles were first found on the
Missouri river near its source about 81
miles above Benton. They are obtained
from bars of the river, of which there
are some four or five within few miles
of each other. Considerable gold is
found on these bars, it having been
brought down the river and lodged
there. and the bars are now being
worked for gold. The corundum is scat
tered through the, gravel, watch Is about
five feet deep, upon the rock bed. Oc,
easionally it is found in the gravel and
upon the rock bed in the gulches, from
forty to fifty feet below the surface, but
it is very rare in such localities
In 1891 the first serious attention be-
gan to be paid to the mining of sap
phires in this district. The bars consist
of an auriferous glacial gravel, and in
working them for gold, sapphires were
obtained as by-product. BY 1890 COM
panies began to be formed and claims
We're taken UP and examined with a
view to sapphire mining The region
extends for some six miles along the
Missouri river, the central point being
Spokane Bar, twelve miles east of the
city of Helena. Other names, such as
Emerald Bar Ruby Bar, French Bar
and Eldorado Bar, were given to the
different points of the area. The gravel
rests on slaty bedrock, and the au-
thor found minerals, besides gold and
sapphires. Among these are small crys-
tails of white topaz, garnets in rounded
grains, often of rich color and miscalled
rubies; cyanite, steam tin, chalcedony
and limonite. At Ruby Bar two facts of
great significance were encountered,
bearing on the age of the gravel and
the source of the gems. The writer saw
and measured a mastodon tusk three
feet long imbedded in the sapphire layer
of the gravel, and a dixie was found cut
ting the slaty bedrock beneath.
Two years before-indeed, in 1SS9-the
writer had seen some specimens of a
trachytic rock, inclosing well-defned
CRYSTALS of sapphire similar to those OF

RAG OFFERINGS.
The singular custom Of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells has
not entirely fallen into disuse. The SUI
perstition, in modified form, exists in
other portions of the world. A traveller
| in Persia found a tree with rags tied to
| its branches. They had been left there
| by the inhabitants Of province infect
| ed with ague. A tree hung with rags
was found by another traveller in Africa.
| Crooked pins, old Clothes pebbles, shells,
| rusty nails, small coins and even bundles
of heath were considered appropriate
thank offerings at shrines in earlier
| days, for it was believed that the saints
and apostles did not care for articles of
value.
Such was the superstitious alteration
of fountains that it was forbidden by
I the 18TH of the canons issued In $50, in
the reign of King Edgar, and it was
condemned by the canons of st. Anselm.
| 1t was also lnterdicted by laws passed
in the reign of King Canute. Since the
reformation the practice has not
been prevalent, except in Ireland,
where many old wells consecrated to
saints and martyrs are yet made places
of pilgrimage. There is scarcely, a par
ish throughout the land that has not
its own holy well, where. despite prac-
teal admonition, the faithful and the
faithless come to pray for physical or
mental relief, and leave behind them a
scrap of rag as an offering Gabrielle

strictly churchly, yet are nevertheless
for the spiritual good of the people.
1t is coming on lent now, and each
year as the season approaches, the good
popes thoughts are full of his people.
His sympathies are with the very poor
those who would be good If they
could, and whose goodness means to
them self-denial such as they are often
not bodily fit to bear.
AS every good church, going person
knows, there are days when the pope's
people must abstain from food. Meat is
often prohibited during the lenten sea-
son, yet to go without it means much to
certain classes OF the pope's people who
cannot purchase substitutes.
To guard against a too great abstin-
ence the good father has this year gone
into a bit Of commercial enterprise
which, while it may not be great ne
cuntary success, will be enormously
profitable on the spiritual side of the
balance sheet Of the heavenly ledger
In Commachio, Italy, there is ser
ton In which lie broad lagoons. For
several years past the pope has owned
