Early in 1909 he plans to repair to his newly-pur
chased Florida home where he will pass the late winter
months and early spring. He took much interest in
planning for this Florida home it was almost the
hrst time he had any particular longing for home of
high class type. He had previously been so wrapped
up IN his works OF invention that home him was
mere vision put aside in moment by the appearance
OF problem which needed solving.
Towards the last of August he departed for the
Pacific coast with his family, and he announced on
leaving New York that he would be there perhaps a

family know it. He has much of the
wonderful accomplishments of mechanics, chemistry
and electricity that there few problems which
prove of interest.
That the life of Thomas A. Edison has entered new
epoch was evidenced by his recent visit a fun-mak
ing tour Long Island where he spent three days.
Soon after that visit however, the spell of deving
chemistry took possession of him and he repaired
to his laboratory and was not for several days
among his friends. Then he departed for the Pacific
coast and Florida will see him early in 1909.

he left the hearth which he had known since his birth
to take up position newsboy on the Grand Trunk

Soon he went into telegraphy actively opera

Four-year-old Clyde was q preco-
cious youngster-very talkative and
close observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time, some tadpoles in pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
"Oh, father, what are they?"
'Tadpoles, son." the father replied.
please, father, let's take them all
home with us, then CONS back and
find the mamma and papa, and we'll

The father explained how impossi~

few steps large ugly frog hoped

Clyde was very thoughtful. He

which had been made by inmates Of
the penitentiary at Deer Lodge and
which was sent to him by an old
friend who is serving seven year
term there for perjury in an endeavor
to SHIELD a pal who was being tried
for murder. The bride is of superb
workmanship and shows to marked
degree how we'll the artistic talent OF
some of the convicts have been de-
veloped. This kind of work has for
many years been a source of pride
to the inmates of the Deer Lodge
penitentiary and if this bride Is a
criterion of their work they are cer-
tainly not to be excelled in that line.
The bride in question is made en-
tirely of horsehair dyed in various
colors and interviewer into a pretty
mosaic pattern and is piece of art
not often met with. 1t can only be
ccn;ectrred how many hours, days,

KENDALL HAS A Large PAY ROLL

With ever four hundred men re-
ceiving from So to 81 per day, the
camp of Kendall is right now one OF
the most prosperous towns to be
found in the entire country. Not less
than forty thousand dollars is paid
out on the 10th of each month to the
men employed in the mines and mills
there. This is certainly sufficient to
keep a town of one thousand in an ex-
ceptionally good condition financially.
Four Hundred Men Working.
The Barnes-King mine now has $50
men on its pay roll. The Kendall
mine has about the same number.
The North Moccasin keeps fifty men
employed, the North Kendall, 10; the
Abbey, 10; the Golden Discovery, g;
the Gold Links, IL, and several addi-
tional men are employed on the va.
ious properties which are being
opened up in the camp.
Outlook for Barnes-King.
The report of General Manager
MeGee of the Barnes-K King for April
is looked for with much interest not
only by the people of this vicinity
who are naturally interested in the
success and prosperity of the big
property but by scores in Butte and
New York who own stock in the
company.

this morning to show cause why he
should not be punished for contcmpr
of court.
It is alleged by George F. Wright
that Lynch has been dsregardinp
the mandate of the court by ap-
propriating for use on the NBar
ranch more of the water from Flat
willow creek than he was decreed by
the courts.
Lynch was before the court on the
9TH OF the present month and prom
ised to use every effort to obey the
courts decree. His defense to the
second charge is that, owing to the
continued rain storm Of last week and
the almost impossible condition of
the roads, he was unable to get down
to the ranch and was also unable to-
secure the services of surveyor to
measure off the water to which he
was entitled.
On the other hand, Wright through
his attorney, 0. w. Belden, main
tains that Lynch had sufficient time
to turn off the water and that he has
been deliberately disregarding the
courts orders. much to the detri-
ment of Wright.
Frank f. Smith. attorney for
Lynch, this morning made a motion
for continuance but this was over
ruled and Judge Cheadle is now hear
ing testimony on the case.

and it has been creeping up a little
each day until yesterday it was
quoted on the Butte exchange at 80
cents per share. That the next re-
port or two will cause the stock to
advance still further is freely pre-
dicted.
Much Ore Blocked Out.
Upon reliable authority, the DEM
ocrat can state that there is now suf-
ficient ore blocked out in the Barnes
King to keep the big mill running
for fifteen months longer at its
fullest capacity. Much of the ore is
on the north end where some fine
bodies have recently been opened up
and where five small open cuts are
being worked The south end of the
] Santiago ore body is known to be
of great extent and the ore assays
very high in gold.
Manager McGee has big force OF
men constantly at work prospecting
and developing new ore bodies and
it may be stated as an absolute fact
that the Barnes-K King never looked
better since the day that it was first
opened up than it does right now.
Developments On Santiago.
The work of developing the San
tiago ore reserves goes ahead steadily
and we'll informed mining men freely
predict that the North Moccasin
stock will 60 to par. $5 per share,
