Roots Great Capacity for Work.

Roots Great Capacity for Work.
"A number of department officials
were discussing the capacity for work
of such men as President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, who manage to
accomplish great deal. OF course,
President Roosevelt is phenomenon
for work, and he gives one rather a
whirlwind impression, whether he is
writing a book or playing tennis. But
Secretary Root, according to many
wellinformed persons. does about as
much work without ever seeming to
move out of walk. and always seems
to have an abundance of time for all
sorts of social duties that are a part
of his position, and really waste more
time than double tie amount OF real
work. -

Largest Sapphire Mine on Earth Is at
Yogo Gulch, in That State,
It Is Said. =.

The geOlOg1cal survey makes the
interesting announcement that the
sapphire mine at Yogo gulch, Mon.
tana, is the greatest gem mine in
the world. The .Yogo mine is four
miles long on the surface and de-
scends to an unknown depth.
The entire area of workable. sap
phire bearing rock approximates TO-.
100000 cubic yards. The stones found
are not of large size, ranging from
/ "culls," used for watch jewels, to
gems ranging from one to three car.
ats in weight. They are sent to Am
5stertiam for cutting. ~
The geological survey also notes
that never before in the history of the
United States was there such a Ge.
mand. for diamonds as during the year
1905. Large numbers were import
ed, and still the demand was not sat-
isfed
@ The political economists say that
when nation spends large sum
each year for precious istones its
people are in prosperous condition,
and that the condition of prosper
ity may be quite accurately measured
from year to year by the amount OF
money devoted to luxuries of this
character. In 1905, it is said in gov.
ernment reports, the people of this
country imported precious. stones to
the value of $34,99s, 900. an increase
of more than $s,00O.000 over 1904.
The importations for the month of
December, 1905, $3,600,0o0, were
larger than for the entire year 1879.
