scented danger he would awaken his master

teeth.
Mai. Talbot says Billy accompanied
him on many exciting trips into the robbers

out OF a number of tight places. On one of
these memorable trips. when the officer
was after thieves who had stolen a team

Billy started several hours behind them,

to Lanes ranch. on the head of Horse
Creek. a distance Of so miles, in nine hours,
the thieves were caught as they were pre-

would have been impossible To catch them.
The last trip Billy made after criminals

Sapphires in Montana.

II is perhaps not generally known that
in the United States, on the banks of Yogo
Creek, Mont, an extensive mine is in ope-
ration, producing as fine sapphires and
rubies as are found in the world. San
phires and rubies are both varieties of the
mineral corundum. Burmah and Siam
were formerly the only localities for these
gems, although the mineral occurs album
dantly III many places. especially in the
eastern United States, where il is mined and
prepared for abrasive purposes. The old
world localities seem to be nearing exhaus-
ton, but the Montana mines appear
destined to have bright future. Surface
deposits are about all that are being worked
at present, with n 50-foot shaft, but when
more underground work is in progress.
