he was scheming to beat Hoover out Of
his share of the strike. This he accom-
plished, Jake explained, by selling a half
interest to some men at Deer Lodge, so
manipulating things that Jake found him
self on the outside Of the deal.
The Fergus County ~sapphires
There is one Strike" more than all
others, that will make the name of Jake
Hoover live so long as Montana endures.
The discovery of the famous sapphire
mines in YOgO Gulch, Fergus county, Mon
tana, tan out as the high spot in this
e~ventful career. These mines have since
yielded millions in profit to their owners.
During the late eighties and early nine
ties, Jake had a cattle ranch on the South
fork Of the Judith river, but during the
summer and autumn months Of each year,
he was accustomed to follow the lure of
his old calling and prospect the streams
of the Judith country. One day, early in the
summer Of 1894 he saddled up his best
horse and packed another one for a long
trip. He planned to journey over Helena
way to look for a lead he had run across
in the early days when quartz mining was
often too expensive a process to be prof,
table and when the prOspectOr much pre-
ferred a placer strike. During the after.
noon he crossed YOgO creek, which is the
North fork Of the Judith. By this time the
weather had suddenly changed, becoming
severity cold. Because Of this fact; he de
cided to camp for the night in an old los
cabin. The following morning it was fin

sOlutely nothing save a stray color or two,
and he was about to quit and proceed on
his way to the Helena country, when his
eye caught some small, blue pebbles, all
smooth and transparent, lying in the corn
er of his pan. These he picked out and
tried another pan, securing some more and
finding one that was larger than the 9th
ers. a dozen pans yielded many Of the
'blue pebbles. Right then and there Jake
changed his plans for a prospecting trip
and rode twenty miles to the S. s. Hob
son ranch near Utica. There had been a
standing agreement between HObsOn and
Hoover to the effect that the two men were
to be associated in any strikes that Jake
made. HObsOn to furnish the capital for
any development. ..,
Just what have you there?" inquired
HObsOn, when Jake handed out the blue
pebbles.
81 believe they're %sapphires," replied
Jake.
Hobson, who was just leaving for Hell
ena, when Jake arrived at the ranch, said
that he would take the stones to a lapidar-
ian and find out what they were. Two days
later in Helena, a Swiss gem cutter told
HobsOn that they were fine sapphires, OF
/ a quality equal to the best Oriental stones,
ThereupOn, HObsOn returned to the judith
Basin and the celebrated YOgO sapphire
lead was soon located and staked out.
HOOVer's Uusual Luck Pursues Him
Jake was apparently unable to avoid the
brand Of luck" that had followed In the
wake of almost all of his Montana diseov'
cries. 1t was less than a year until he
became involved in ~inancial difficulties
and, worse than that, serious matrimonial
troubles. His wife was possessed of a vi
client temper, and had on several occasions
threatened to kill him. Twice she had shO
at him and nothing but luck saved the OLD
prOspectOr's life. He decided that it wa
about time to leave his wife and the coun

rate, Jake was tired Of town, and he want

dream about the gold that lay hidden in
every guleh and creek bottom, now COW
cred with deep snOws-tO anticipate the
wonderful yields that the spring promised.
The next morning Rich consented.

The following night found the two pros
pectOrs in Rich's cabin in the heart Of q
guleh that was then covered with now to
a depth Of three feet, After going outside
and cutting poles with which to make his
bunk, Hoover proceeded to put it together.
He dug holes in the dirt floor for the out
er posts OF the bunk. AS he thus exca-
waited the gravel from the cabin floor, he
scrutinized the dirt very closely and finally
put it in a couple. Of gold pans. He then
went outside and secured three or four
fair-sized boulders from the channel OF
the creek and placed these in che fire
that was blazing in the fireplace.

Back in the sixties, and while Hoover
was yet digging" in the older mining
locations Of the state. he became engaged
in conversation with a man by the name
Of Rich. This prOspector, it so developed,
had staked out a few placer claims in the
vicinity of what was known as Pixies Peak
Gulch in the western Montana gold fields.
Rich had uncovered a few leads, and some
placer gold in these workings, but he had
little knowledge Of prospecting. 1t was
midwinter when this conversation took
place and Jake and Rich were Willing

now Deer Lodge. Rich, possessing a thor
