ThO testimony of Mrs. Hedges brought out that Mrs. Belcheur are rived in Lewistown from her home near Lavine, In December last and went to the Schoeder hospital Where , ' she remained pending her recovery from two operations which was per- formed' tpon her. ,Dr. Hedges had charge of the use and, it is alleged by Mrs. Hedges, that shortly after he commenced to attend Mrs. BeIcheur, his visits to the city hospital became much more frequent iharlis - profes- elonal connection . with the Invalidne- cegsitated.

From all indications' the annual meeting of the Jefferson club which will be held in Fraternity hall next Friday evening will be the- most en- thusiastic gathering of democrats ev- er held in . Fergus coqnty. Democrats from all parts of the county have sig- nified their intention of being present and participating in the love feast which is to be held on that evening. Kendall will send a strong delegation. Gilt Edge will be well represented and the \faithful\ will roll in from every post office and cross road in this good old dembcratic stronghold, that. its is to be.

John McGee, who holds the position of surveyor for the Barnes -King Min- ing company, returned last night from a. short trip to Searchlight. Nevada, near which placehe, Howard I. Shaw aud, Arthur Kelly have some mining Property. Mr. McGee, who is a thor- oughly practical mining man, thinks very highly of the Searchlight district and while he is modest concerning his own property, nevertheless, believes that they have a good thing there. • - Searchlight is now about the size of Kendall,\ said Mr. McGee to the Democrat this morning. \There are a nembef of producing properties there and tile camp is steadily forging ahead. Messrs. Shaw and Kelly and myselt have seven nearelaime-out about %wan- ty mileg from Searchlight which we prospecting. We have one tunnel 'down ever 100 feet and the outlook is meet encouraging. While there, I took a bond on another property which we may be able to doltoreething with. Tee owner of this property had \gone broke'' jest as he had run into a fine body of ore and had to rustle around after a grub stake. We put him to work and will know what we'wiln do With -his property after we have assay- ed come of the samples which I have brought home with me. \Searchlight Is located In the ex- treme southern portion of Nevada. It is-renehed by means of a stage from the San 'Pedro road. They are having some mighty warm weather down there now and lean very easily imag- ine what it will be when the July and August sun commences to get in its work. Just now there is a great rush \to Manhattan, -a new camp which is about 90 miles from Searchlight. They have made some fine strikes Mit there prui people are going in by the hun- dreds. I did not visit either Goldfield* Or Tonopah as they Ara About 200 miles north of Searchlight.\ Mr. McGee had to return to Montana Via Los Angeles and San Francisco, several plies of the- San Pedro road havina been warated out during the 1 4gelotan Which rased over the cOun- tn. last !oolitic- • Forqpi,cuoty lieraocrea.

Little can be said about Kendall that has not al- ready been said in a variety of forms. That It is the biggest gold camp in the state is now ancient history and that it is yet going to be a bigger camp is also somewhat historical. Kendall is growing. The casual vis- itors, after each trip, will see a large number of new houses. They are not mere shacks such as one finds in most mining camp, but are well built, their substantial appearance indicating that the residents of the town have no doubts as to its permanency. There are new stores such as the Power Mer- cantile Co. „ tend the Fergus County Hardware which occupy line new buildings. New enterprises are being started exery week and the number of • people who go over to Kendall every day tax the capacity of the coaches, three of which leave this town leave Lewistown every day with an occasional extra throein in when the passenger traffic becomes congested. On the road, one meets dozens of two, Ione and six horse teams hauling mer- chandise, mining supplies and coal in- to the camp. . The business men of Kendall are all doing, agood business tilnd there is not a \croaker\ among them. Those Who got in on the ground floor, such as J. Si. Foment, T. FL Matlock. Stafford anntlaEflir - tave --- Pandperede deserved and the later addhiens to the body of commercial enterprises are do- ing well. The Townsite cotnpany, of which John R. Cook, W. A. e Shaules and -Mary A. Shelties are the princi- pal stockholders, have made money in real estate, and real estate which is located at all favorably, commands a 'good price. One of the lucky n.en of the town is E. P. Durnen who leased Elhol31,1. pael ntinp11 TUX A good place. and has all of the rooms 'occupied all of the time. Be sets a good table and the Durnen dining room 's excellently patronised. The prospects for a lively spring and summer In 'Kendall are most flattering. The two big producers. the Kendall, and the Barnes -King are run-, fling in full blast. The Kendall has some magnificent ore bodies open- ed up and will be a big producer for many years to come. The Barnes -King was never looking better than it does today. They have thousands of tons of ore blocked out In their present workings and within another month will have completed ix. big tunnel, ev- er a mile In length, Which is designed to tap an immense body of high grade ore which previons explorations have shown up on the north mild of 'the property. North T Moccasin Mining corn. ps.ny, Who own sera* wettable ground right between -the Barnes -King and Kendall mines, have done a great deal of work during the past six months and have only recently struck a big body of high grads ore down near the 200 -foot level, upon which they are now drifting With most satisfactory results. eThereAserreee-but tionte-bur - that this property will. In the very near fu- ture, become a producer equal to .te two sister companies. A meeting of the directors of the North Moe -ratan company was held last Tuesday and the old officers wet* re-elected as fol- lows: II.nry Rea, president, Austin W. Warr, vice president, and the Bank of Fergus County, treasurer. They have set aside a large. sum of money with which to continue the develop- m bi en r t . o n f o th l e of m a in t e .rau . who has charge of the work which is to be done this spring and summer on the Bullard ground which In owned by the Queen Gold Mining company, arrived. in the camp Friday morning and started at once toward getting everything in readiness -for sinking a big two com- partment shaft on the ground. Sir. Hall is a young mai but has had • great deal of experience in mining af- fairs. He feels that his company Las better than an even break for mak- ing a good mine out of the Bullard and they are going to put in their money liberally during the coining months. There are a number of good proetosa Hone in tbe camp which will be worked up during the coming season and the opinion is generel that before the sum- mer ii. over, Kendall will occupy an even higher position than It does te- ,dity in the mining woad beforathe ice- tumn mouths have passed. • irergus ceenty Democrat. 0101111.111.1.
