leaves IN today's train for Great Falls
to attend the session of the State Medi.

The ball for the benefit of the fire de
partment given in Crawford's hall or
last Friday night was a pronounced sue
cess socially and financially and quite a
handsome sum of money was realized
from the evenings entertainment.
The payroll at the Moulton amounted
to $4,000 for the month ending April 10.
The force Of men at work in the Gait
now number 30 and ore Of a fine grade is
being regularly ehipped, They will be-
gin to sink on the main shaft this week
and richer strikes han any yet report
ed may be expected during the progress

Il. B. Shoebotham. who has for several
months been employed in the drug store
of George Bulge, left last week for a two
months visit to Port Huron, Mich.
The mines Of Nelhart are now attract
ing the attention of capitalists as offer
ing inducements for profitable invest
ment, and quite a number of deals are
ON foot. There are more men now en-
ployed in the mines than ever before in
the history Of the camp, and the ship
ments of ore are very much larger.
During the last week twenty-three
cars of ore were sent out, the Moulton
heading the list with fifteen, the Queen
of the Hills sending out five and the
Gait three.
G. L. Parker, who has been spending
the winter in Iowa, returned to camp
, this week. lie is largely interested in
mining properties here and is an earnest
advocate of the proposition for the es-
t%ablishment of a mill.
Since Henry j. Powers was here to en-
, ter into negotiations for the establish
ment of a mill, word has been received
from Col. w. w. Dudley and Gen. l.. T..
Kitchener, the noted Indiana politicians,
that they also desired to erect a mill at
this point and would be glad to submit
, a proposition to our people. These gen
x tlemen are largely interested in milling
I properties in Colorado and Utah and
n they are expected to visit the camp at
), an early date with a view to conclud
ing arrangements for the erection OF a
o mill here. There is "A probability that
n both these parties may be induced to
locate mills here, and everyone now
looks forward with confidence to a
season of prosperity for the camp.

ii $500 to 5000, and some of the specimens
