The Evidence Of Wonderful Results
From DR.. Creasy's Chiropractic
Adjustments.
Little Gertrude Farmer. four years
old. of 1924 Hull Street. had infantile
paralysis when one year old. and be-
fore she had learned to walk. and for
three years one lower limb was use
less. After treatment by various
methods with no Improvement, DR..
Greasy was asked TO take the case
last May. After three treatments she
could stand on her feet for the first
time in her life. In several weeks she
was walking without assistance. Since
it became known that Gertrude could
walk, many people have called at her
home to see her and talk with her
mothet about the case. Pressure on
the nerves going to the limb caused
the paralysis. DR.. Greasy corrected
the displaced bone in her little spine,
removing the cause of the trouble, and
the use of the limb was restored The
treatment never caused Gertrude any
pain or discomfort

in which there were RIFLES at inter
walls, and the sapphires and iron py
rites, being the heaviest portion of
the lead matter, caught in these riff
files and were recovered by the simple
process of taking the rifles out of
the sluice boxes and washing the riff
fle contents with slight flow of wa
ter to eliminate as much light mat
ter that had lodged there with the
gems and the iron particles as pos
sible Then the remainder was
shoveled into boxes with handles on
either end so that they could be car
ried to the panning tanks. Here the
sapphires were 'panned out,' in es-
pecially contrived sieves. First, how
ever, the matter carrying the precious
stones was placed on rocker and
run through graded sieves so that the
different sizes of sapphires could be
taken out separately.
In the early days Of the industry
the washing was done in careless
manner, with the result that a consid-
cradle percentage of the gems were
washed over the rifles on to the
dumps below. To recover these stones,
as we'll as the many which also went
over the RIFLES in Jumps of undis-
solved corundum and clay, dams
were built across the coulees which
retained practically all of the solid
lead matter. The following year,
when the corundum had had time to
disintegrate through the action Of the
heat of summer and cold of winter,
these dams were sluiced out and
many more of the sapphires were
caught in rifles.
In those days an effort was made
to fork out of the ground sluice the
bigger Jumps Of corundum and the
space between the sluice boxes and
the sides of the cuts were usually fill
ed with these boulders, which, after
standing fo' year or two until they
had softened to crumbling point,
were again shoveled into the rifle
boxes where they readily dissolved
and dropped their sapphires into the
rifles.
In the course of few years the
available hill sites for hydraulic min
ing had been exhausted, and in the
meanwhile tunnels had been run into
the lead under the open cuts, and a
vast quantity of sapphire "dirt,'
was extracted from the lead in this
manner. But finally the available
tunnel sites were exhausted and it
then became necessity to sink a
shaft and follow the lead by means Of
drifts run at various levels from the
shaft
Under this method of mining the

that had been taken up by the sheep
man who first found the sapphires on
the lead. They organized a company
to mine sapphires and sold some stock
to George Wells of Great Falls. Mr..
Wells went to London and interested
an English firm Of gem merchants,
Johnson, Tolhurst & Walker, who
bought a considerable block of stock.
The company was incorporated as the
New Mine Sapphire Syndicate.
Later Messrs. Hobson, Dunn and
Wells sold their interest to the English
people. The latter subsequently pur-
chased the ground a, the western end
of the lead owned by the American
Sapphire company, and now every foot
of the sapphire ground is owned by
the Englishmen.
This is the only place in the world
where sapphires are found in the
ground. In the orient, where the
world s supply previously came from,
the gems were found in the bars Of
rivers.
The sapphire is the crystal of corun-
dunn, a substance which is used largely
in the manufacture of emery wheels
and emery stones for sharpening tools
The sapphire lead consists of corun-
dun in varying degrees of disintegra-
ton and deposits of yellow and blue
clay. The stones are found scattered
through the corundum and clay.
The first method of securing the
sapphires was an extremely crude and
wasteful one, and entailed a heavy
percentage of loss of the stones.
The sapphire lead runs through the
foothills for a distance of about four
The Glasgow courier., 1916-10-20

0NE hot day in the middle '90's, a
~ sheepherder was lettering idly on
a slope Of the foothills of Little Belt
mountains, some Is miles west of the
town Of Utica, in Fergus county,
while his herd grazed in the rolling
country near him. He stopped to light
his pipe, dropped the match and
stopped down after it. As he did so
his eye was attracted by blue, trans
parent pebble, which he took at first
to be piece Of blue glass. He picked
it up, wondering how it came to be
there, but glance convinced him it
was not glass.
In that idle moment that flockmas-
ter had discovered the only sapphire
mine in the world; a property which
in the twenty odd years that have in-
tervened has yielded millions of dol
lars in values; mine with such in
exhaustable possibilities that it can
be worked for thousand years, turn
ing out enough to supply the world s
markets, without draining it dry Of it's
wealth.
A few weeks before sapphires had
been discovered a few miles away in
Yogo creek, which, IT afterward was
found, cuts the lead that the sheep
man had found. The discoverer of the
gems in the creek bottom was Jake
Hoover, an old-time hunter and pros
pector, who had been grub-staked by
S. S. Hobson, now a resident of Great
Falls, to placer mine for gold in Yogo
creek.
Hoover, while panning along the
banks of Yogo creek, had found some
of the blue stones in his pan. He
showed them to Mr.. Hobson and told
him he thought they were gems of
some kind. The latter took them to
Helena to a Swiss lapidarian, who
went into transports of joy when he
had examined them. He pronounced
them sapphires of the finest quality.
1t happened that Mr.. Hobson, to-
gether with DR.. J. A. Bovett, a re-
sident of the Judith Basin, had just
completed the construction Of a ditch
which carried water from upper Yogo
creek out onto the foothills which
were cut by the sapphire lead. The
ditch had been built for placer mining
for gold.
A thorough examination of the sap
phire lead showed that every portion
of it could be reached with the wa
ters from the ditch.
Mr.. Hobson and Matt Dunn of
Great Falls then proceeded to stake
out every foot of the sapphire lead ex-
cepting one claim on the west end,
and buy the one or two claims along it

sapphire bearing matter is brought
to the surface and run out on tressels,
forming dozen or more dumps, and
these, according to the hardness of
the part of the lead matter that is be-
ing worked, are allowed to stand until
they have had time to disintegrate
from the action Of the weather. Then
they are run through sluice boxes
and over rifles as before, but in a
thoroughly precise and scientific
manner, so that there is today prac-
tically no loss of stones as in the old
days.
The sapphire brine is under the
management of C. y. Gadsden, who
has had charge for Is years.
Mr.. Gadsden has made exhaustive
experiments with the processes of
recovering the sapphires, and has
worked out the detail of the equip
ment so carefully that practically per-
feet results are obtained in the min
ing and washing of the stones.
In the first days of the sapphire
mining all stones classed as culls.
which wero beneath certain size and
weight, were thrown away as value
less. Years ago, however, these were
all gathered up again to be used for
watch jewels, mechanical instrument
manufacturing and other purposes
returning a big revenue to the com
pany. Some years back Mr.. Gadsder
installed concentrating plant on the
property which eliminates most OF
the matter which is caught in the riff
files with the sapphires. After tn,
gravel containing the tiny sapphire:
has been washed and put through th,
concentrators, it is shipped to Eng
land and sold there.
The larger sapphires are pickle,

The lead is we'll defined all that dis

A. G. M. EARNING
LARGE DIVIDENDS;
$50. 900 900 THIS YEAR

Butte. up to the end of this
year the Anaconda Copper Min
ing Company will have paid out
in dividends $16,318,750, COM
pared with $4,662,5OO disbursed
in 1915, and $5,838,125 in 1914.
The dividend paid out this year
is on a basis of $500 per share
on the outstanding 1881, ,250
shares.
Production of copper, which is
sold up to the end of 1916 is
running at the rate Of about
340,OOO,OOO pounds annually.
The company is earning at the
rate of between $45,OOO,O0O and
$5o,OOO,OOO a year, or well over
$4,000 per share.
Anaconda, according to the
best information obtainable,
stands an excellent chance to
earn over $25.00 per share in
1917, with metal selling at or
above 25 cents per pound. This
would mean earnings of some
thing like $100,000,000, or about
$4,000 per share in two years.
On this basis Anaconda may
pay as much as S2O,0O0,000 in
dividends in 1917.

1cers, notified residents of Logan
county who petitioned him to rescind
an order requiring all school children
to be vaccinated for smallpox, that
the order will not be rescinded, but
will remain in force until further no
tice. The petitions said that enforc-
ing of the order would keep many chill
dren from attending summer schools.
DR.. Garrison replied that when the
order was placed in effect three
months ago and children were taken
out of school until vaccinated, there
were between rs and 100 cases of
smallpox in the county. Now, he
said, there are no cases reported and
no deaths have occurred from the dis
eases since the first 80 days after the
order became effective. This should
be conclusive evidence" he said,
that much has been accomplished by
the enforcement of health regulations
