SHEETS OF BREAD.
How the Sta6 Of Lie L Prepared
By Hoki Women.
Proper Making Of the Article IL Coa-
sidePed = Real Art Among the
Female Portion Of
the Tribe.

II you wish to dine of a sheet of
bread, you must go to the great Amer
lean desert and ask the women Of
the Moki Indians to bake it for you.
But if you are wise, you will not
inquire too closely into the details OF
the process.
The preparation of the bread, in
sheets hardly thicker than sheet
of paper, is real art among the Moki
women. A corner in the principal
room is set aside for the accommoda-
ton of q shallow trough, walled in
with slabs Of stone set on end. The
trough is divided into three compart-
ments, and in these the first process
of bread-making takes place.
When bread is to be made. girl
kneels behind each compartment.
Shelled corn is then put on the fiat
stone in the first compartment, and
with a coarse, oblong stone the first
girl proceeds to rub it, The coarse
the next compartment. Here it is
again rubbed with stone less coarse,
and passed on to the third stage. The
result is a decidedly tloury meal.
With a brush which is made of
dried grass bound together with
string of calico. and with which the
-four is swept between times, the
meal is then gathered up, and mixed
with water to a thick batter.
Then comes in the art of the baker
She takes single handful of the bat
ter and spreads it over a long, fat
stone. under which a fire has been for
some time burning. The batter is
made to cover thinly the entire sur
face.
When one side is baked she takes
the bread by corner and pulls it off
dexterously. turning it the other side
up. When it is done long. fiat bas-
ket receives it. and the baker turns
the edges up all round so that the air
can get at it. Sheet after sheet is
baked until the basket is piled high
with the blue bread, or "piki,' which
the baker pronounces "peka."
No salt is used in the batter. and
the piki has sweetish taste. 1t is
usually blue, partaking of the color
1t is eaten dry or in sort OF soup
When the men go on a journey they
take piki made into rolls, very much
as one would roll up sheet Of wet
paper, the bread being of about the
same thickness as the paper.
The stones upon which the bread is
baked are prepared by the old women
Of the tribe with great secrecy and
much ceremony. They are very valu-
able. and are handed down as heir
looms from mother to daughter.
The first stage in the process, SO
says Popular Science News, is the
smoothing and filing OF the surface
Of the stone with hot pitch. 1t 10
then smoked and rubbed for many
days, with an accompaniment of rude
chanting. As far as white man may
know, the first rubbing 10 with
smooth stone, the next with pieces Of
wood, while the finishing work is done
with bare hands. The result is a jet
black. smooth surface. to which the
piki does not stick in baking.

Eighteen men are now employed, but
the force will probably be increased.
The stockholders Of the company who
visited the mine are all pleased with the
outlook. and think by next spring ways
and means will have been devised for the
erection of a large stamp mill and a cy-

ST. JULIAN IMPROVEMENTS.
Rumor Of Proposed Offer of $2OO, 600
For the Mine Denied.

Work on the st. Julian mlre at Chic ,
has been progressing favorahly for some
time past, and the latest Improvement
to be added is G. 4S-inch cleaning pan.
which will enable the st. Julian people
to clean their own ore right at the mine,
without having to ship it away, says TIE
Livingston Post. A rumor was current
on the street the first OF the week that
an offer of 100000 had been maae for the
st. Julian. p. j, Nolan. one Of the own.
ers Of the property, said that he knew
nothing of it. Mr.. Nolan says that the
company placed no price on the mine
for the simple reason that 1t was not
for sale. The st. Julian company is en-
tirely satisfied with the showing which
is being made and has no desire to dis
pose of the property. There is ore iii
sight and blocked out far in excess of the
amount of the alleged offer. The ST.
Julian people are quite satisfied tina:
they have one of the best properties y.
the state, and they are unwilling to plac-
any price upon the mine.

IN THE PONY DISTRICT.
Shoot of Ore Struck in the Mountain
Meadow Mine.

Eli Adkins and Cliff Mckitrick, owners
of the Mountain Meadow mine. short
distance above town, have been quietly
working their property, and short time
ago struck a splendid shoot OF ore, says
the Pony Sentinel.
The vein was tapped with tunnel in
about 80 feet. A level was then run on
the lead 3O'feet, and a continuous body
of ore found. Fourteen inches OF ore
runs $212, while the balance cs the vein.

COAL IN MADISON.
One Man Says It Is Mine Worth al
Least $4,000. 900.

j. H. Conrad of Butte and Salt Lake
passed through this city on Monday on
his way to his recently acquired coal
helds on the other side of the range.
says the Madisonian. Mr. Conrad mas
been at work quietly. but none the less
thoroughly. for the past few months sat
isfying himself that there is coal of a
good grade and in large quantities on
his land. The examinations have been
made by men we'll versed in that
line of research, and the decision has
been reached that the coal is the best
found in Montana up to date: that it is
of a body great enough to warrant al
most any expenditure, and that. as
voiced by one gentleman sufficient has
been demonstrated to permit me to state
that the property as it stands is worth
$10.000,0 0O." The Madisonian congratu-
lates Mr.. Conrad and expresses the wish
that the Union Pacific. with it's new line.
will pass close to his coal fields. so that
he may be able to market his product.

MINING NEAR BASIN.
Considerable Ore Being Shipped tc
Butte From the Veins There

The Basin Progress says that Thomas
Cain will soon make a shipment from the
old Rocker claim, adjoining the Ada, on
which he has lease; that five men are
now employed at the silica mine-a mile
or SO from town-and several carloads
are shipped to the shelters at Butte
every week, and that the Ada mine still
continues to ship large quantities OF
high grade ore to the Butte shelters. A
new strike has been made in this
bonanza within the past week that looks
very good. A tunnel has been run in on
the ore body, and instead of hosting the
ore as formerly, 1t is now taken out by
way of the tunnel. A new ore house OF
$50 tons capacity has recently been built
and other improvements made for the
winter. About 16 men are now employed
there.

STONES IN DEMAND
SYNDICATE MAY CORRAL. All
SAPPHIRE MINES.
NOW AFTER FIELDS OF Yoco
Proposed Purchase Price Is $4OO, 900
will Mine on a Large Scale
If It Gets the Prop
erty.

The New York Journal says that a
syndicate is being organized for the
purpose Of purchasing all the producing
Montana sapphire mines: The syndi-
cate purposes to occupy the same posi-
ton with reference to the sapphire
mines that the Rhodes syndicate~ oc-
cupies with reference to tine Kimberley
diamond fields of South Africa. This
syndicate already owns large area in
what is known as the Yogo district in
Fergus county. from which about 49,
900 carats OF high grade, true corn
flower blue stones We're produced last
year.
Large Area on Rock Creek.
1t also owns a large area of sap
phire ground on Rock Greek, Missoula
county. from which sapphires Of many
colors are produced, the stones ranging
through straw color and pinks to the
true pigeon blood ruby tint. The SYM
dictate is negotiating for the purchase
of what is known as the New Mines
syndicate ground at Yogo for 800. 900.
The New Mines syndicate has prac-
tically agreed to sell the ground at this
price, and the details Of the transact
ton only remain to be arranged.
The Yogo sapphres are blue, so
highly priced by the jewelry trade. of
the same color and even better fire
and luster than the oriental stones,
which have hitherto been the standard.
The New Mines syndicate ground pro-
duced last year about $4,000 carats Of
stones for cutting. These stones when
cut range in value from SIS to as high
as $3.50 per carat. Some of them eX-
hibited by one of the large jewelry
houses took a gold medal at the Paris
exposition.
Vein in the Limestone.
The Yogo stones are found in a vein
! in the limestone extending across the
| country for several miles. The vein
| filing at the surface is a yellow disin-
! tegrated clay, and as depth is attained
| it changes to a hard blue shade OF
volcanic clay similar to that of the
! Kimberley diamond fields. The clay is
! taken out, exposed to the weather
| when it dsintegrates and the stones are
washed by the ordinary hydraulic pro-
! cess of placer mining.
! Yogo is the only place in the United
! States where the true corn-f1ower blue
sapphires are found in quantity, and
the only place in the world where they
are found in the original matriX. The
| production Of the two syndicates
amounts to about 10000 carats pei
annum, which has been sufficient to
| demonstrate the value and establish a
market for the stones. :.
Will Work on a Large Scale.
me new syndicate intends to oper-
! ate the mines on a much larger scale
! so as to supply the increasing demand
for the product. The American Gem
Mining syndicate has had cutting
shop in Helena for several years. where
men are constantly employed cutting
| the stones. BY the great skill of the
American workmen the stones cut are
of better fire and luster than jewels
| from the same mines cut in London.
