the Paris Exposition Next Year.
[Great Falls Tribune.l

A few days ago George A. Wells,
one OF the principal owners of the
Ysgo sapphire fields, received a re-
quest. from the United States com
missioner general to the Paris expo
sition, that his company should
make display of it's gems at the
exposition. The government guar.
antees the safe keeping and return oi
the display and will furnish ample
space for it.
Mr.. Wells yesterday replied. notify

pany would make display. They
intend to make one that will be a
credit to the state and their sapphire
fields are now in such shape that
they can easily do SO.
The fields are now owned, one.

three-fuurths by Mr.. Wells, an En-
glish gem dealer whom he interested.
Mathew Dunn has consummated the
sale of his interest to the Englishmen
and has received his money, which
was not far from $1,000.
TIE company makes a shipment oil
sapphires about every week, shipping
them to Paris, where they are cut,
and the cut stones are then sold In

The Yogo sapphires now rank
with the Oriental stones and are
priced more highly by many con-
noisseurs. The company has re-
ceived as high as $3.50 for single
stone. The highest price per carat
vet paid was 50. The cheapest
stones are easily marketable at S5
each, and there are many higher
grades.
In these YogO fields there have

There are also found sapphires
