unique INDUSTRY
in JUDITH BASIN
Famous YOgO Sapphire Mines
Have Produced $40, 100000
Worth of Gems Since 1899

HELENA.-Ten miles east of Yogo
creek in Judith Basin county lies the
site of the most unique industry of
Montana for here are produced the
famous Yogo sapphires which have
been called the finest gem stones in
the world. The mines, owned by a
foreign syndicate, have produced in
their % years of operation, between
$4,000, 1000 and $4,000, 900 worth of
stones according to estimates of peO-
pie outside the syndicate.
The ore deposit fills a vertical fis-
sure forming a dyke similar to the
acknowledging clay of South At
RIGA, about eight feet wide, three and
one half miles long and of unknown
depth.
The pay dirt was originally hoist
ed in buckets through surface cuts by
hand windlass. No timbering being
done, these cuts could never exceed
80 feet in depth. Tunnels were, there
fore, dug in 1903, a shaft was sunk,
and operations since then have been
conducted in thu orthodox manner.
The principal workings are now at
the 250-foot level, from which two
drifts have been driven east and west.
After the ore is broken by the use
Of a lOw-pOwer nitro explosive and
brought to the surface, it looks like
hard blue rock slightly tinged with
green. The sapphire crystals are
distributed through this ore in no
great profusion and long continued
l weathering and washing operations,
, to hasten disintegration, are neces-
sary. In fact, from the time a load
) tOf ore is deposited on the dump and
final disintegration permits the eX-
traction of the last sapphires, a peri
cd of nearly four years must elapse.
All the gem StOEeS go to London
than to France and Switzerland
where they are cut and polished. The
smaller crystals, unsuitable for gems
are made into bearings for watches
electric meters and other delicate ma,
chinery, and into needle points fol
K monographs.
n 'Yogo furnishes the only gem stones
in Montana. There are, however
three other sapphire deposits in th'
state, on Rock Greek, Granite county
along Dry Cottonwood creek, Dee
Lodge county. and along the Missouri
river for 20 miles near Helena, Lew
is and Clark county. These tire
beds are gravel deposits, but Onl,
4 one-Rock CREEKS worked, AM
/, practically the entire output goes 70
h industrial uses. Among other coun
Is ties where finds of sapphiVes hav
been reported are Musselshell ant
le Powder River.

The hearing. conducted in Los An
geles by representatives of the In
terstate commerce commission for
the purpose of collecting data in the
readjustment of livestock rates has
closed.
Many interesting features were
brought out. All Of those connected
with the program evineed a sincere
desire to gather and present data
that would be of benefit in. arriving
at conclusions based upon economic
facts; tending to give the greatest
relief and most practical readJust-
ment to the transportation situation
as it relates. to western agriculture
and the livestock industry.
The movement of livestock and
other products from the producing
areas to the metropolitan centers on
the Pacific coast, as well as to east
ern markets, is a question which oc-
cupies a most important place in the
economic structure of the West.
California has a different cattle
situation than prevails in other terri
tories. AT this time production is
more or less seasonal, with oversup-
n DllCS dDDCdIAnk OuLAlS ShC AaASN
months, and the importation Of cat
tie from surrounding states being
necessary during other months of the
year.
With the advent of better balanced
production and distribution this sea
sonal supply will be levelled so tina
it will move throughout the year, thi
being accomplished by the western
trend toward feed lot operations.
Until that time comes, however, j
is evident that the West should worl
toward a rate readjustment whic
will be practical and equitable to ev
cry state and bear in mind that tn
HI greatest benefit will be accomplishe
through giving the largest number :
: producers access to the largest nun
Der of markets.
There appears to be a lack Of rea
ization> of the Importance Of Stoke
and feeder rates to and from cerFri
markets located in the West. 1t
been pointed out that the bulk of t4
movement is from the producing Sc
lions directly to the feed lots. Thi
no doubt; is the case, but the ia
should not be lost sight of that Il
small producer is not situated so
: to go directly to the range states al

He is in the position of either pur-
chasing through a central market or
remaining out of the business. For
this reason, for the sake of the small
producer who is becoming such a fac
tor through the cutting up of large
land areas, it would seem that a care
full consideration should be given the
stocker and feeder rate question as
applying to central livestock markets.
Everyone seems convinced that the
rate hearings r being carried out
along constructive and intelligent
lines and. that when all Of the facts
are collected and anayzed that the en-
tire livestock producing West should
benefit.

However, several Of these cars are

which the shippers favored at their

Refuses To Let
Client Testify

Suit for damages to the extent of
$15,l 100 in the case of Samuel Baer
against NJ. L. Hardin was baked
for a moment i'll superior court, de-
partment two, yesterday afternoon.
S. =. Williams, attorney for the
plaintiff, sought to take the deposi-
ton Of the defendant but Hardin
upon advice of his attorney, Edgar
b. Hervey, refused to answer the
questions Of the attorney for the
plaintiff.
Upon Hardin s refusal to take the
stand Williams declared that he
would take action to have Hervey
and Hardin cited to show cause why
they should not be punished for
contempt of court, Hardin for re
fusing to be sworn and Hervey for
so advising him.
Attorney Uervey at this point de
clared that the defendant had not
been properly informed and served
by the court for his appearance
yesterday. He said that the defen-
dant had only been notified yester-
day morning to appear and that he
was entitled by law to five days.
This halted yesterdays battle.
Whether or not Williams will con-
tinue it with the threatened cita
ton was not made definite.

Three Men Are
Adjudged Insane

-Four insanity hearings were held
before Judge j. s. Larew yesterday
afternoon, three men being adjudg
ed insane while the ease Of the 9th.
er was continued until tomorrow
Those adjudged insane and ordered
committed TO the asylum at Patton
are: ID. NJ. McNiel, Stanley Ian.
pitcke and Louis Martinez. Mason
Corbett was the other up for hear
ing.
McNicl was picked up twice by
El Centre police on charges Of vag,
rancy and on both occasions his ac-
tions were regarded queerly. Judge
Hervey was called to testify in the
case and he told of the mans ap-
parent unbalanced mentality. Seve-
raj instances cited by the Judge
tended to show that the man was
insane and he was so pronounced
by the court.
Stanley Lanpitcke, who several
months ago. caused police to stage
Il county wide search for him when
he suddenly disappeared and who
later was cared for at the county
hospital for some time was next to
be heard. Testimony was entered
by John Provazek and Frank Weir,
superintendent of the county farm,
showing that the man has been men
tally unbalanced for several days.
Louis Martinez was given a third
insanity hearing and three wit
nesses testified. In his previous ap-
pearances only minor charges Of
strange actions were cited against
Martinez but yesterday it was al
legged that he had attacked a wo-
man with n weapon.
Mason Corbett, who was given an
insanity hearing q week ago was
.he fourth to be heard yesterday.
Evidence was introduced showing
that following the hearing last week
Corbett went to his rooming house
and had only been there a short
time when he created a distur-
bance. An effort is being made to
send Corbett back to his home in
the east and the case was continued
pending developments along that
line.
DR.. G. s. Brooks and DR.. l.. G.
House were the examining physi-
clans in all four hearings.

ADVISED that one Of the commission
ers Of Arizona has stated that his
state believes the users Of the power
should pay about six dollars per
year for each horsepower developed
at the dam. This would make n
charge against the consumers of
over eight per cent of the cost of
the dam and power plant.
Arizona is required to invest
nothing in the plant and to give no
guarantee of the repayment Of it's
cost, yet the demand she makes up
ON the funds Of the project would
return to that state within l3 years
the total cost Of constructing the
dam and power plant. Her demand,
If satisfied, would give return to
Arizona in ~ years equal to what
the federal government would prob
ably receive in 25 years. Arizona
demands there be no legislation un.
til California and Arizona have
agreed. Arizona has no pressing
need for this legislation. California
has vital and pressing need for it.
Arizona seeks to reap where she has
not sown. Out Of the necessities
OF the situation and the non action
Of congress, Arizona seeks to com
pei the tribute from California that
no state should demand OF sister
