kNpeCld4 TO TUG CilNtl kptdtOsJ
SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 19.-Jake
Hunt, the oldest Indian in the north
west, reputed to be los years old, who
has son n years of age, will not live
many more "moons. Jack Coon, a
son-in-law, attributes the old man s
illness to "too much picture, pointing
to Jake's photograph. "Too much
picture make too many of him; scat
ter him all over so when cold come
now, he die. | have picture taken long
time ago, make me weak so have ache
under hat two weeks. -
Old Jake is worth about $1,000 in
cash in the banks, has a quarter sec
tion of land estimated to be worth
$4,000 and is known to have $1,000 in
gold hidden away. The hiding place
is unknown
Years ago an Indian village stood
in what is now known as the Yakima
Indian reservation, where the Hunt
family now carry on general farming
business. All that is left of the old
settlement is a little church, a totem
pole and number of mounds where
the Klickitats lie who could not reach
the century mark. Old Jake says this
was the Indians paradise before the
advent of early white settlers. Deer,
bear and all kinds of biz game were
plentiful. Below the falls of the White
Salmon river, which is now harnessed,
hundreds of Indians congregated ev'
cry year during the salmon run to pro
cure their winters supply of fish.
Old Jake was considered the liveli
est buck in the tribe when their annual
pow-wow took place, which were kept
up until 10 years ago. Tomtoms, fancy
dresses, painted faces, dancing, singing
and feasting was the order of the day
and night, lasting a week or more.
Old Jake is said to have married
seven times during his long career, but
there viii be only widow and few
children to fall heir to his property.

MONTANA SAPPHIRES
FINEST IN THE WORLD
(Leader, Great Falls, Mont.

Ten large boxes, containing $500
pounds of sapphires, We're brought to
Moore from the New Mine Syndicate
mines, above Utica, last week and were
consigned to the company's house in
London, England, says the Lewiston
News, speaking of the Yogo sapphire
industry, in which II. O. Chowen, of
this city, is heavily interested The
stones were all small and will be used
mostly for watch jewels. This ship
ment is valued at several thousand
dollars. The Fergus county gems are
among the finest in the world.
Some interesting history relating to

nous sapphire bearing deposits which
lie in the Yogo country, near Utica,
was told to the News by Mrs. John
Burke, of Utica, who is the wife of the
original diseoverer of the American
company's property.
The English company's mines were
discovered in 1891, and in the follow
ing year Mr.. Burke, who was practi-
cal miner, started out looking for an
extension of the lead. After some labor
he found the same vein, which contains
the precious blue stones. For several
NtdlS OuiN utNtlOpiicit ntCtSsdtN "
do representation was done by Mr.,
Burke, but for the last six years that
he owned the mine he worked it on a
small scale. In 1906 Mr.. Burke sold
his interest in the mine to the Ameri-
can syndicate, which is composed of
New York capitalists. For four years
the property has been operated by the
company. About $150,000 have been
spent in equipping the cruching mill,
sluicing plant, machinery for the mine,
etc. Nearly all of the work is done by
machinery at this time,
During the winter none of the mat
rix is sluiced, but much of the precious
stuff is being thrown on the dump to
be suiced near spring when weather
conditions will permit it. Development
work is now going on in the lower lev
els, and the veins continue to show up
bigger and stronger than ever.
| In fact, the Yogo vein is one Of the
wonders of the world. II is about six
miles long, the English company hav
| ing thirteen claims on il and the
American seven. Beyond this distance
of six miles much money has been
spent to locate the vein, but without
success. Since selling out his mine
Mr.. Burke has found the rich lands of
the Judith to be better money maker
than his world-renowned sapphire
mine.

.LOYELOCK BANKER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Especial to the Silver state.)

BOVELOCK, January l9-Fhis com
munity received terrible shock yester
day over the news that Alex Borland,
one of its best known and most highly
esteemed citizens, had committed
suicide. As near as can be ascertained
the facts of the tragedy are substan-
italy as follows:
At about o clock yesterday after
noon Mr.. Borland went to his mother s
room in the family residence on the
outskirts of the city and gave her his
purse, containing a sum of money, and
number of papers. He was acting
queerly and his mother suggested that
he 90 to his room and lie down until
supper time. When Mrs. Borland went
to call him for supper, at about 5
o clock, she found him in a kneeling
position in front of his bed, with two
mattresses over his head. A hasty ex-
animation showed that he had shot
himself, the bullet entering the head
about two inches above the right ear.
Death was probably instantaneous The
exact hour the fatal shot was fired
will never be known, as the mattresses
with which he had covered his head
muifed the report of the shot to such
an extent that it was not heard by
anyone in the house.
Coroner Hood at once empanelled a
jury, which viewed the remains last
evening, and testimony regarding the
tragedy is being heard today.
For the past two years deceased had
been "A constant sufferer from rheuma-
tism, with occasional heart troubles,

headaches. He returned Monday from
a California trip, taken for the benefit
Of his health, to attend the annual
meeting of the stockholders and direct
ors of the First National Bank of
Lovelock. of which institution he was
president. 1t is thought by his friends
that he had become despondent owing
to continued illhealth and decided to
commit the rash act. No other cause
for the act can be imagined, as his
finances are reported in excellent shape.
lie is reputed to have left an estate
valued at more than 100000, consist
ing largely of cash. Funeral arrange
ments will not be completed until af-
ter the eoroner's jury has rendered its
verdict.

these germs are promptly destroyed
they rapidly multiply, gnawing their
