An army of more than 1850
police, of various degrees of
authority, all permitted to bear
arms, march about the streets
of indianapolis and patrol the
roads and highways of Marion
County, it was revealed today
in a survey made by the Indi-
annapolis Times.

OUR GEM FIELD
Just as Fine Gems in GaIlatin County
as Grow Outdoors.

From Mr.. Thorn, who was :
the city a few hours Tuesday evening,
We learn that nearly 5000 acres of
ground containing rubies and san
phires have been. located on the Madi-
son up to the present writing. He
thinks some of the ground will prove
very valuable.
Large quantities of rubies may be
gathered from the ground almost on
the surface, in fact numbers of nice
stones have been picked up while
walking across the ground looking for
the government corners.
Some sapphires have been found
also but these are heavier stones and
generally lie deeper.
Bert Vail and a Northern Pacific
railroad man are interested with Mr..
Thorn and it was to see Mr.. Vail
thatMr. Thorn came to the city. He
brought with him a number Of rubies
gathered from each 20 acres of the 80
located by the gentlemen, and a dozen
or Is gathered from pan of earth.
In conversation with Mr.. Vail we
learn that he was not inclined to pay
much attention to the discoveries IN
til he heard that Helena parties had
located 2,700 acres and his railroad
friend wished to obtain an interest.
The stones brought to the city this
week will be sent east and cut and
from actual tests their true value de-
termined.
If such gems as have been found
thus far have much intrinsic value
there will be a bonanza in the claims
for the owners as they car be found
in quantities sufficient to pay fol
gathering them.
In every pan of dirt there is also
more or less gold and mining the tive
together would prove profitable ever
if there is not sufficient gold to pay
for putting the earth through sluices

southwest, 18th street northeast or
18th street southeast.
If a majority of the present mem
.bers Of council were not Republicans,
we would be suspicious that the en-
tire business was a cold-blooded plot
against the newspapers of the city
and a scheme to favor the prohibition
sheet. The editor or that paper,
having but one thing to think of, can
of course take the time to walk the
streets with a compass and figure
on where people live, and then the
long-drawn-out names will operate so
nicely to help pad out the Gallatin
Valley Gazetteer and the Bozeman
City Directory so anxiously looked
for by an expectant public.
But, seriously, does the city ccun-
Gil really think the people can COM
prehend and adopt the system it has
elaborated? Will people who have
been accustomed for years to short
names for the streets readily adopt
those twice as long and puzzling be-
cause only by painstaking accuracy
can persons be definitely located?
To illustrate, Gen. Wilson's resi-
dence was on the corner Of Story
street and Central avenue. Under the
new naming it is on the corner Of
Fifth street Southwest and Third ave-
nue. Southwest, and you mustn't for
get the southwest on either name or
you will be in a box, for there are
three other Fifth streets-Fifth street
Northeast, Fifth street Northwest and
Fifth street Southeast-and three
other Third avenues-Third avenue
Northwest, Third avenue Northeast.
and Third avenue Southeast.
Tell a man that Gen. Wilson lives
on Third avenue and forget the re-
Imainder of the nam and all the
chances will be that he will land dowr
on Wallace street a mile and a hall
or two miles from where he want;
to go, for remember that is Thirl
avenue too, with the difference Of
two letters that must be tagged on t.
the name like a tail to a kite.
One would naturally think that ii
remaining the streets the city father
would have sought to make tn
changes so simple that they would b
readily adopted, but they have gone t
an extreme in the other directions
The ordinance will grace the record
of the city about as Ordinance IS, an,

plishing the purpose for which j
was enacted.
