400, 600 whites. The former are divided into
five tribes-Chickasaws, Choctaws. Creeks,

years ago Congress created what is known
as the Dawes commission, which was en-

A millionaire in a Moment.

1t falls to the lot Of few men to make
the discovery that they are standing on
a mine of gems Of fabulous value. This
good fortune has recently befallen T..
C. Bassett, a mining expert whose
keen eye and a stroke of luck convert
ed him in a moment from a poor man
to be master of millions, says Titbits.
Mr.. Bassett, who Is attached as expert
to a mining corporation in South Amer
lea, was on a short visit to relatives in
California, when it occurred to him
that he might utilize some of his time
prospecting for gold. His wanderings
took him in the direction Of the famous
Death Valley, where one day he mount
ed q small cone-shaped hill in order to
get a better view of the surrounding
country. He was about to descend the
hill, to continue his tramp, when a
patch of blue at his feet arrested his
attention. Bassett's trained eye recog-
nized in the blue patch the ''blue float,"
which is a sure indication Of the pres
ence of turquoises in the soil. He lost
no time in locating claim, and was
soon hard at work with pick and shov-
ell. His most sanguine expectations
were more than realized, for at the
depth of six feet he found the ''boxite
vein," which was thickly studded with
beautiful stones. The deeper he dug
the more magnificent were the gems,
and within a fortnight he was able to
return to San Francisco with no less
than seventy pounds Of the most bril-
liant and f1awless turquoises that have
ever been discovered.
