YOGO SAPPHIRE MINES.
Arrangements Being Made for the More
Extensive Working Of the fields.
GGreat Falls Leader,l


Senator s. ). Hobson, of Fergus
county, and "a Mr.. Walker, OF Eng
land, have been in the city orseveral
days and, in connection with Mr..
Matt Dunn of this city, have been
making arrangements for the more
extensive working OF the sapphire
mines at Yogo, which are now known
in London az the property of the
New Mine Sapphire Syndicate.
The market value for the stones
found in these mines is now well es-
tablished in London, Paris, Berlin,
and New York, one large house hav-
ing recently made n purchase in
London of $4,000 worth OF the stones
to mount especially for an exhibit at
the Paris exhibition.
1t is Il well known fact that the
YogO field is the only place in the
world where sapphires are found in IA
lead in place. In fact, the Oriental
%sapphires, which, before the discovery
of the Yogo mines were supposed to
be the finest in the world, are only
mined to any extent in Burmah and
Siam, where they are found in the
gravel associated with rubies and
other precious stones.
So much are they encouraged by
the success of the work thus fardone,
the members OF the company purpose
working these Yogo mines more ex
tensively than ever during the COM
ing season, and in connection with
the work, Senator Hobson expects to
start for London within a few days
to confer with the partners there in
regard to the improvements which
are contemplated. He expects to re-
turn here about the LIST of June.
The company has already spent
considerable money in exploiting
these sapphire grounds and the
members Eel amply repaid for the
money spent. In getting water on
the ground, the company vas COM
PEELED to build what ia prob
ably One of the longest and
most difficult bitches to construct, in
the state of Montana, taking the
water over u high mountain and
requiring over a mile of flume.
These mines have already proved
OF permanent benefit to Fergus
county and to this city as well, and
| when the work is conducted on a
larger scale as it will be in the near
future, will prove to be Of even
greater benefit, but while these Yogo
mines can now be counted upon as
among the permanent resources of
Fergus county. they are not by any
means the only mines within it's
boundaries, and there IL a strong
probability of that portion of the
country coming TO the front this
season as a producer of gold as well
as of precious stones.
The mines of Gilt Edge, for
instance, are reported to be In splen-
did condition and the company has
just completed one of the finest and
largest cyanide mills In the country,
which il by this time in operation.
In addition to this a syndicate of

tleman on eco a year. This sum will
pay the rent of a house, the wages of
two servants, and supply plenty of
food.
A recent government census shows
that in India there are 5,s46,759 girls
between the ages of five and nine years
who are wives, and over 100000 whoare
widows.
The Burmese have a curious idea re-
garding coins. They prefer those
which have female heads on them, be-
licying that male coins are unproduc-
tive and do not make money.

Altogether the prospects for a
prosperous mining season in Fergus
county are excellent, and as that
portion of the county is in part
tributary to Great Falls, this city
will undoubtedly reap n portion of
the benefit.
