KILLED SAVING TRAIN.
Section Foreman Struck by Engines
Pilot on Northern Pacific.

Pilot on Northern Pacific.
Missoula, Mont, Sept. 28.-In try
ing to save a passenger train from a
wreck, William Johnson, a Northern
Pacific section foreman was killed
this afternoon at Tuscor, Mont. He
saved the train, but died of his injur-
les.
The train was the eastbound over
land passenger No. 4, and was well
filled. Johnson was tagging the train
to keep it from running upon Sec
tion of track which contained brok-
en- rail, and in his eagerness to have
his signals observed he failed to step
from the track in time to avoid the
engine of the passenger.
Practically every bone in his body
was broken and his skull was
crushed. He died while being taken
to the railroad hospital at Missoula.

The present year has Deen excep.
tional in many respects. First. in
that the price OF wool has been bet
ter than II vas a year ago; and. sec.
ond. that the sales of sheep have been
less and the prices realized lower
than a year ago, there being compare.
lively a very small demand for sheep,
owing. nc doubt, TO the prevalence OF
drought In the southern part of the
state and northern Wyoming, which
induced sheep buyers to go that way
on account OF lower prices on all
classes OF sheep.
The amount Of wool consigned dur.
ing the year has been very small,
nearly all OF the wool growers hay-
ing sold their clips at satisfactory
figures.
Quite a number of old ewes we're
shipped out OF the county in the fall,
finding little or no sale. A few were
consigned to eastern markets with
disastrous results, and IL is not likely
that there will be any more attempts
made TO ship I'D ives to eastern mar.
kets, unless ,aey are in prime fat con
dItion befo"g leaving.
On the whole. the industry is in a
very satisfactory condition, and the
prices for wool for the coming year
will likely increase as compared with
the season just past, but 1t is evident
that there will be a large number OF
sheep for sale next year, owing to the
crowded condition of ,-.e ranges and
the rapid settling up Of the country
by small ranchers. Respectfully Sub

Demand for Sapphlres.

About fifteen men will be employ
ed at the Yogo sapphire mines all
winter, preparing the material for
next summers work. A much larger
force was employed until recently.
extracting the gems from the forma-
ton that was thrown out last winter
and extensive development of the
properties was made, including the
opening up of the lead to a great ex-
tent, development to depth and the
erection OF a hoist. The season, 1t Is
claimed, was the best since h COM
pany commenced to operate the
mines, but when the water supply
froze the work of extracting the gems
necessarily ceased.
During the winter the formation in
which the sapphires are found will
be mined and exposed to the ele-
ments on the surface. This forma-
ton is of such a nature that exposure
to sun, snow, wind and rain cause
1t to disintegrate to a certain extent,
and when water again flows 1t is a
comparatively easy matter to work
out the gems.
About sixty men were employed at
the mines the past season and it is
expected that as many more will be
employed there next spring and sum-
mer. There is no decrease in the de-
mand for Montana s%apphires.

Wareham's Lucky Strike.

H. o. Wareham, a well known
stockman of Fergus county, expects
to be a millionaire some time in the
near future, and the chances are fav.
orable that he will have more money
than he can spend in a natural life
time, be he ever so extravagant. Mr..
Wareham has mineral claims in this
district that look mighty good to
himself and others who have examin-
ed them, and know what samples, TAX.
en- at random, have assayed in gold.
Wareham states that the richest
samples yet reported in this district
have been taken from his property.
The lucky owner of these promis-
ing claims is not disposed to sell or
bond them to any person. but will de-
velop them himself. Monday mon
ing he started four men at work driv-
ing a tunnel, and it his intention to
increase this force from time to time.
When there is enough ore in sight
to guarantee the erection of a mill
ii will be built without delay.
The claims under development are

To Control Sapphire Output.

Dunk Robertso.., owner of the
"Eldorado Bar" a sapphire claim 20
miles east of Helena, was in Lewis
town Thursday exhibiting a few
stones which he took from his mine.
Their value ranged from 81 to SO.
He recently took a trip east and dis
posed of $4,000 worth of his sapphires
without much trouble. He says that
the English syndicate which has con-
troll of the Yogo mines are trying to
bond his claim and all other claims in
Montana, and If they succeed sap
phires will greatly increase in value.
Mr.. ..obertson was on his way to the
bad lands for a few days hunting
