Commissioner John W Ross Holds up the
Lamp OF Encouragement TO the Colored
People of Washington and Backs up
Argument by Plain Figures.
In q recent address delivered before
the Bishops Council, Commissioner
John W. Ross, known far and wide as
Humanitarian and friend to any strug'
Cling people, gave utterance to note
of encouragement that came as music
to our ears and quoted figures en- onI
progress that should be treasured In
scrap books for future reference. Mr..
Ross said, among other highly interest
ing things:
81 doubt If In any other jurisdiction
of 81 proximate population there are
more coIer.d people who have won sue

among them many large property
owners, very many have become pros
porous as business men and in the
learned professions, and thousands OF
them in the humber walks of life have
lived honest and useful lives, and have
in positions of trust won and retained
the absolute confidence of their em
ployers. Every such an one becomes an
exenplsr to the poor colored youth
struggling to better his condition. and
should inspire in him the confident
belief that with industry, enterprise
and patience he can, if true 80 his

A REPORT ON PRECIOUS

George F. Kunz Gives an Account Of
the Production Of Sapphires-
The Monte Crlsto.

The period of dullness in the stock
market and weakening metal prices ia
developing a great deal of discussion re-
garding the merits of the various copper
mining stocks and the ability of certain
mines to continue their present rate of
dividend payments on a 1O-cent or H.
cent copper market, says the Boston
Financial News. 1t is very difficult to
show exactly how much it costs any one
of the mining companies to make cop
per. The difficulty arises largely from
the fact that only a few of them issue
complete and detailed reports of produce
ton and costs, and fewer still are willing
to make public the average price at
which their copper was marketed.
Figures of production, however, are
from time to time given out, which make
it possible to estimate last years outputs
very closely. Comparisons may, there
fore, be made between the pounds of
copper produced and the gross dividends
paid, and such comparisons are valuable
as showing the proportion of the profits
which the management feels can be
spared to the stockholders.
In the following table the production
of the Anaconda, Montana and Parrot
companies is estimated. but in each case
the estimate is based on statements Of
fact and deductions made by high au-
thorities:

IN the nnual report on precious stones
made by George F.. Kunz for the United
States geological survey, the most prom
1nent feature is the account of Eastern
Montana s%apphires.
Among the principal items of interest
relating to the production of gems in
1879, says Professor Kunz, may be men,
toned a general development and in
creased output of the Yogo valley sap
phire mines in Fergus county, Montana,
and the finding of fine blue STONES that
afford gems up to three carats in weight;
also the discovery of remarkably bril-
liant %sapphires in many hades and tints,
in Granite county, Montana; the con-
tlnued output from turquoise mines in
Grant county, New Mexico; the opening
of the turquoise localities in Nevada and
California;; a great advance in emeraids
and pearls; a decided increase in the
price of all qualities of cut diamonds, a
great Increase in the amount of diamond
cutting, especially of the finer qualities,
in the United States. although this in
dustry was materially affected because
of the advan in prices during the lat
ter part of the year and, lastly in general
continued search for minor gems in other
states. For some years sapphires have
been found in the float material on Rock
creek, frantic county, Montana, IS miles
northeast of Philipsburg, at the base of
high mountain placers which We're being
prospected for gold. In the first material
AoulAu lAC pIOSdACIIl SolO1 was IA
Montana green. interspersea with a num-
Der Of stones of fancy colors. This sug-
gested the idea that if the source cou.1
be traced beds of separate color might
possibly be found. A search was decid-
ed upon. and D. Jankower, N.lo made the
exploration, concluded that the source
could not be many miles away, because
of the ligh hills surrounding the placers
where the float prevailed. He also found
from whence the ordinary waterworn
, float material is obtained. From the fact
that the matrix still adhere to most of
the stones found hign up the creek, it is
evident that the original source is but
a short distance away. 1t is proposed to
explore further in t. at direction during
the coming season. The prevailing forms
of sapphire are tabular heXagonal prisms
and are remarkable for small colored
spots of yellow and brown, and in white,
blue, green and other colors, which. when
properly cut, change the entire stone to
former color. The red stone found are
pale but pronounced rubies, many of
them intensely brilliant; the yellows,
many tints of brown, blue-greens, reds
and other colors, are distinct iron those
found at any other locality, and all of
the colors are rendered more brilliant by
artificial light. Amethyst is reported by
A. C. Bates, from Divide, 25 miles from
Butte. The purple color, though remark
able for brilliancy and richness is too
%unevenly distributed in the specimens to
furnish cut gems of more than a carat"

Profit
Product
1899. in hounds

The results shown in the above table
do not do any particular mine SO much
injustice as might be supposed from the
great variation in the profits made by
the four largest producers. While the
Anaconda was devoting a million or
more dollars to the erection of a smelt-
ing and refining plant the Calumet &
Hecla was spending nearly an equal
amount On a new stamp mill and it's
new mine on the Osceola lode. The Par
rot is understood to have spent compar-
atively little OF construction, and the
Quincy's construction expenditures last
year amounted to nearly 3 cents for
every pound of copper it produced.
About $500, 900 vas spent on construction
by the United Verde, or not quite 2 cents
for each pound of copper produced.

today, bound hands and feet, and
covered with tar, feathers and paint.
He had been stripped of his clothing,

His condition is believed to be serious.
Afford says he recognized three of his
assailants. lie asserts that they
threatened to kill him, and ordered
him to leave town today, after the
funeral of his wife. The latter died
last Wednesday. The townspeople say
she was the victim of i'll treatment at
the hands of her husband aud beliey-
ing her death to be the result of his
brutality, a number of citizens decided
to teach him lesson. Last night, q
party of masked men carrying a rope
broke into Affords house, at South
Bridgeton, and marched him at the
point of a pistol to the woods. His
wife lay dead In the house, and his
two children were left weeping by the
