Montana's Sapphire Deposits

INA fork of the Judith River in Montana, seventy
~ five miles northeast of Helena, have recently
been discovered wonderful deposits of sapphires.
The first found in the stream graves, but
when the trail of them was followed up the source
couple of veins, each about twenty-five feet wide,
running parallel across the country for mile and
half.
Out of this material as it cooled, the oxid of
aluminium crystalized, forming sapphires many of
which half an inch in diameter. They are of
great variety of lighter shades of red yellow, blue
and blue-green, and some of them have the corn
flower tint which is much admired in the sap
p,lires of Ceylon. When cut, they have metallic
luster that is strkingly beautiful and peculiar to
the sapphires of this locality. Furthermore, they
sparkle at night, which is notable advantage, the
Oriental stones being dull by artificial light.
One of the most highly esteemed of gems is the
spinel; though, strictly speaking it ranks only
emprecious. No other stone has wide a range
of color, varying it does from fame red through
orange, red crimson, pink, blue, green, and inky
blue to purple. There is in Orange County, New

ON the Navajo reservation in New Mexico, are

rubes) in curious fashion, from hills and scorpion

ago, at Niagara, corundum crystals (the material
is simply oxd of alurninium) were obtained by

crystals large enough, transparent enough and of

corundum, when blue, is called sapphire; when
green, it is Oriental emerald; when red, it is a
ruby; when yellow, it is Oriental topaz; when
purple, it is Oriental amethyst; and when white,
it is diamond spar. All of these stones are the

NEST OF THIEVES
 SOUGHT BY POLICE
Two Suspected Occupants of it AI-
 ready in Custody.

Officers Carr and Tipton of the night police force last evening jailed a couple of Mexicans that it is believ- ed will prove to be the guilty parties in number of petty stealing and bur gIary eases that have taken place re- gently in Phoenix. It is a certainty they are guilty in at least one instance for they were caught with the goods" The names they gave when arrested were Juan Garcia and Juan Quiros, though there is a suspicion that the last name given is fictitious and it is possible that both are. Both are common Mexican names and it is likely there are others in the city hay ing the same names who have nothing to do with these men.
 The theft for which they will surely be convicted was that of a number of tools stolen from the rooms of a man named Charles Burroughs. Burroughs is a painter and paperhanger and has apartments on the alley between Ad- ans and Monroe and First and Second streets. A saw, a pair of shears and a number of other tools were taken from there several days ago. The saw was recovered from the second hand store of MT. Morden at the corner of Fourth and Washington streets where it had been sold by a Mexican. The shears were offered there for sale later but were not bought. A description of

He described the man as near as he could, and though the description was meager, it seemed to Officer Moore to fit his old friend Le Ray. The of ficer went through one or two saloons, gradually working his way to the rear of the Central saloon and arriving probably ten or fifteen minutes after the incident at the Senate saloon.
 He met Le Ray, who said he had been telephOning for him at the city hall, as he wanted to tell him about a little incident that had just occurred and which he feared might be reported falsely to the police. He said he had met in the Senate saloon one of his old acquaintances, called Slippery Ander- son." who belonged to the safe crack ing fraternity aforementioned. He said Anderson owed him S2O for room rent when he, Le Ray, was keeping a lodg- ing house in Portland a year or two ago. He attempted to collect it and Anderson became angry, whereupon he

PROPOSED RELIEF
 FOR C. 1. DECKER
Tbe Han Held for hurderCus Assaul.
 on H. Fl. Hill

An effort is under way for the relief of C. L. Decker, who some time ago was held to the grand jury for an as sault upon H. H. Hill with a deadly weapon. The men had been 'rooming at the Denver lodging house, and the testimony at the preliminary exami- nation showed that Hill for a long time had been terrorizing Decker, who is an invalid and apparently a very harmless person. All of this was ad- mitted by Hill, wiio said he had threatened to whip Decker for splitting on the floor in tie hallway in which they lodged. De cker contended that he used the halchet in self defense. This theory was not quite borne out by the circumstances, though those at the trial did nos blame him for using it on Hill under almost any cir cumstances.
 There appeared nothing to do but hold him to the grand jury, and that was done in the sum of $50. Soon af-
 ter that he received from his wife in Georgia $100. a part of it for the bond and the rest of it for the payment Of his attorney. She also urged him to come home.
 Since that night in the lodging
 house Decker. who is a consumptive Tn an advanced stage or the disease, has been running down more rapidly
 than ever. and it is feared now that
 unless he soon returns to his home he will never reach it alive. An eff
 fort was begun yesterday morning by w. P. Richardson. his attorney, for
 the return to Decker of the amount of
 the bond in order that he may leave the city. The matter was afterward taken up with the office of the district attorney by Jusdice Burnett the com hitting magistrate. It was his opinion that Decker could not live long, and. moreover, that no trial jury would convict him on the evidence adduced at the preliminary trial. The justice and Assistant District Attorney Bul- lard placed the case before Judge
 Kent yesterday. Ii was decided that on the certificate of a physician con firming the representations made re- earding the state of Decker's health the cash bond of Decker might be re- turned to him and that his own recog- nizance might be taken. This will probably be done today.

Then they adjourned to the city hall, where Anderson awaited them. Anderson denied owing Le Ray anything, and a search of Le Rays pockets brought out two s gold pieces and little silver, but there was no watch.

To Whom he Was Going to Show
 Gang of LaWbreakers.

About week ago Policeman john Moore scented some big game and has been laying low for the capture of a nest of safebreakers.- But the closer he got to the quarry the smaller the game seemed to be, though he finally landed one victim who may take a trip over the road. That depends upon what results from his examina- ton in Justice Johnstone's court today. The man in custody gives the name of J. s. Le Ray, and was himself the individual who led the officer to be- lieve there was something doing Of more than passing moment. The story can best be told by going back some months and working up to it chrono-
 logically.
 Last spring the night police arrested two or three men on the charge Of va grancy, among them being Le Ray.
 Specifically, it was believed that he was a short t-card man, who had been operating at the Redlight saloon, but the evidence against him was not suf- ficient to convict. MT. Moore was not

He had been seen a short time before, talking to Quiros. 50 suspicion naturally fell upon the lat ter. Quiros was apprehended a short time afterward and both were identi- fled at the secondhand store. Garcia in the meantime had disposed of the shears somewhere else.
 The importance of this arrest is not merely the recovery of thees tools, but the description of the men agrees very nicely with the descriptions given of the men who robbed the undertaking offices of Easterling & Whitney. of an overcoat and two Navajo rugs. the rugs later being restored.

Having this in view have purchased 80 acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into ,, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest alluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is a water right in the Mar icopa canal and an independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. I am going to put this tract on the market at S100 to S125 per acre for a short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley.
