told the man with the odd shoes where

sum sufficient to enable him to get the
shoes mated up In color: not much was
required. because there was here only
half a pair to BE treated. Clearly the

Fergus county Montana, possesses
one Of the most remarkable mines in
the world-the Yogo sapphire proper
ties-in that the precious stones are
found in regularly formed veins like
gold, silver and other valuable metals.
whereas in other communities dia-
monds, sapphires. opals and the other
buried treasures are found in pockets
or clusters. Consequently a descrip-
tion Of this unique mine and its mode
Of operation viii prove interesting.
The sapphires are found scattered all
along the lead or vein, and. as in any
kind Of mining. there is much dead"
work, as well as frequent rich strikes.
Last month, for instance. five blocks
Of ground were worked. from one TO-
600 carats were extracted, while from
another Of equal dimensions only "A
carats were taken and the cost Of
working the block from which the 10
600 carats were secured was only about
one-tenth that of working the other
four blocks. from which 5000 carats
We're realized. The sapphlres are found
in a perpendicular lead Of dry clay.

this clayey formation is mined. it is

tinue very rare So far the company
has worked down only fifty or sixty
feet, but prospecting has been done to
a depth three times as great and there
are sapphires all the way down. The
deeper they 90 the harder the forma-
tion becomes, requiring greater ex-
posure to cause disintegration. All
dirt that is worked over this year will

Many OF the visitors to Kansas City
during the Democratic national con-
vention discovered a fad" Of which
most politicians in this part Of the
country are ignorant, but q which the
United States government has already
taken serious notice. In several parts
Of Kansas City the sign Belgian

gator who explored the establishment
behind the sign found for sale a sort Of
rabbit that exists now in small num-
bers in captivity. but that may soon
have to be destroyed In prodigious
numbers to avert the damages form
erly wrought by other rabbits In Aus
tralia and in our own western country.
Just now the Belgian hare is a rare,
expensive and curious creature as full
Of points as a prize bulldog. Il is
not maintained by the sellers Of these
hares that they are especially delicate
or superior to jackrabbits as food.
Some Of them come high. as much as

community by buyer badly stricken
with the Belgian hare fever. But their
fur is considered to be commercially
valuable. and especially TO the manu-
facturers OF hats. Their greatest pres
ent value. however. seems to be IL
their responsiveness to the expectation
that they shall presently make Belgian
hares no longer scarce in this country

The time generally occupied on the
journey by the birds averages from 65

cents for the reverse journey. The
