the ease of the Anderson Land and
Live Stock company against McCon.

Strike
In the Belmont

, What might be considered the most important strike to no
D made in the mines of this camp was uncovered in the Belmont !
3 mine Wednesday morning. The find is located at the bottom
b of the Wine that is known IS the 1866. 1t has not been
. great while since sinking was resumed in this winze at the eve
. corresponding with the 100. At the present a depth of 1165
. feet o the incline or a vertical depth of 1875 feet has been as
& certained.
. The new ledge is about FIVE feet in width, although the
= exact measurement is not known as the shaft has not uc-
. ceeded in cutting through it.
. When asked about the strike yesterday afternoon, Superin-
. tendent s. H. Brady stated that while no assays had been e.
. ceived IS yet, it was his opinion that the ore would go between
. $50 and $35 to the ton,
= The ledge was first thought to be the hangng-wall of the
= Belmont vein' said Mr.. Brady, but it is now virtually proven
. to be a distinct body. During the sinking of this winze, many
= small suingers were encountered and 1t was almost assured that
. we would find the big shoot nearby.
. This find is of considerable importance when the fact is
. known that this is the greatest depth at which ore has been
> found in the camp. The winze will be continued until a point
= corresponding with the 12O0-foot level is reached when cross
. cutting win be done. In performing this work there is a good
. chance of other shoots being opened up"

THEIR ANNUAL MEETING
The Presbyterians Assembled in tn,
Church Thursday Night to Hold
Business Meeting.

The annual congregational meet.
ing as held in the Presbyterian
church Thursday evening. was fairly
we'll attended. The reports which
were presented disclosed the fact
that each department of the church
was in a prosperous condition. The
different societies had raised en-
%couraging sums for the work at home
and elsewhere during the past fiscal
year. In addition to what has been
raised for the different boards of
the church, there was raised $4,000
for the work of the church here in
Mitchell during the year. At this
meeting final steps were taken with
reference to the erection of the
manse. Mr.. Thomas Fullerton ad-
dressed the gathering on the project,
and his remarks were we'll received
by all and afforded much encourage
ment to the church in it's laudable
efforts to build a suitable home for
the minister and his family. The
contract for the building has been
let. and work on the new structure
will commence Immediately. The
manse will be erected on the south
end of the lots now occupied by the
church. 1t will be a nine-room
structure. fitted up with modern i'm
provements and conveniences, and
suitably arranged for an ecclesiasti-
cal residence. AS is we'll known, the
location is one of the choicest in the
city.

A great many people who have
trifled with indigestion, have been
sorry for it-when nervous or
chronic dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not been able to cure it.
Use Kodol and prevent having
Dyspepsia.
Everyone is subject to indiges-
ton. Stomach arrangement follows
stomach abuse, just as naturally
and just as surely as a sound and
healthy stomach results upon the
taking of Kodol.
When you experience sourness
of stomach, belching of gas and
%nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
ghawing pain in the pit Of the
stomach. heart burn (so-called),
diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or
chronic tired feeling-you need Ko-
dol. And then the quicker you take
Kodol-the better. Eat what you
want, let Kodol digest it.
Ordinary pepsin dyspepsia tab,
let's" physics, etc, are not likely
to be of much benefit to you, in
digestive ailments. Pepsin is only

whole thing over to one man who
has had some experience in that

SOME MARCH WEATHER
The Weather Remained Cold Prac
ticalIy Every Day of the MONTH
departed From Normal.

The weather of March was not of
the variable kind this year, and it
departed to some extent from the US
ual weather of the month. In the
past four or five years, March has
developed some warn weather
streaks. usually four or five days
where the mercury went up as high
as so degrees. This had a tendency
to bring out the buds on the trees
and start vegetation altogether too
early. This warm weather was then
followed by IA streak of cold weather
and as a result the buds We're killed
and the prospects of much fruit was
spoiled. This spring March weather
did not vary very much in range,
the warmest day being 60 or the 23d
and the coolest was 10 degrees above
on the 9th and 18th. During the
day TIE mercury has ranged from 81
to As as an average temperature. For
this reason the buds on tees haze
not started very perceptibly, and as
a consequence the chances a.e that
the fruit trees will not get started
far enough so that should a frost
come they will not be damaged to
any extent.
The first rain of the aso came
on the 21st, although the prec'pita-
ton was very light. amounting to
but .04 inches. There We're Is clear
days, 4 cloudy and 10 partly cloudy
days of the month.
There is plenty of moisture in the
ground at the present time for the
beginning of farm work, in fact
there is really more than is needed,
and the farmers will have to wait
a week before starting in the fields

HAS NEW FORMULA.
Major Nichols is Successful in Color
Photography Experiments.

Spokane, Wash, May 24.--Major
Nichols, U. S. A., of Fort Wright, a
veteran student of photography, has
been successful in reproducing colors
by developing the negative with a
formula of his own.
For years he has devoted considera-
BILE attention to color photography and
has studied the discoveries of Lumiere,
of France, founder of the system. He
recently sent to New York for some of
the Lumiere plates, which have met
with little success by the photographers
of the country.
II tried little experiment of my
own, with the result that | have been
able to produce some negatives which
show the colors of the object in detail" !"
said Major Nichols this morning.
He showed some plates which were
taken on the military grounds and con-
tanned the most minute detail in color
ing.
"My side line is devoted to the max
ing of lantern slides," continued the
major, "and it is my intention to take
a quantity of plates of this kind to the
Islands in August and to devote consid.
cradle of my spare time to making
pictures of tropical scenery"

ROBBERS LOOT TRAIN.
Union Pacific Overland Limited Held
Up Near Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., May 24.-Four masked
men held up and robbed Union Pacific
passenger train No. 2, known as the
Overland Limited, few miles west of
the city just before midnight Saturday
night, and secured seven mail sacks,
believed to have contained a large
quantity of registered mail.
They evidently got on the train at
some point west of here. The holdup
occurred about five miles west of the
city limits, in deep cut along the re-
Gently constructed Lane cutoff.
The robbers climbed over the tank
and forced the engineer to stop his
train, and then proceeded to the mail
car. The clerks were forced to open
the door and hand out seven pouches of
registered mail.
Once they secured the bags, the rob-
bers hurried away in southerly direc-
tion, and permitted the train to pro-
ceed. The passengers were not molest-
ed, and as soon as the robbers left the
scene of the hold-up the train came to
this city.
The chief mail clerk was singled out
by the robbers and ordered to point out
the registered mail. This he did,
and the robbers gathered up seven
pouches. The leader then remarked:
"This is all we can get into our au-
tomobile."

Washington, May Is. - Secretary
Meyer has cut off $40, 900, 900 in Navy
department estimates for the next fis-
cal year. This is a sample of what
may be expected on the part of other
cabinet officials.
1t may not be possible to reduce ex-
penditures in all departments to as no.

to the army and navy branches of the
military service, but the thing that
will be accomplished in all directions
is more intelligent idea of the rela-
tions between, or rather harmonizing
of, estimates and appropriations.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
expects to have in hand by June l esti-
mates of all heads of departments.
Between then and the time for the
meeting of congress in regular session
in December, painstaking study and
investigation with view to ascertain
ing the exact requirement of various
bureaus embraced in different depart
ments, or just what work each is per-
forming and a detailed analysis of re-
suits as compared to expense involved,
will be carried on.
