More Arrests in Juvenile
 COunterfeiting Comedy

Several other arrests will probably fol- low, as the boys claim there are about eight other youngsters implicated in the affair. They still stick to their statement that a man named Elrod taught Ernest Matthews how to make the money in a small furnace near Shades creek.
 After being released yesterday after noon on bond Clark Mccormack stated that Ernest Matthews was giving lessons to the boys in the neighborhood. He claims that Ernest would give a lesson in ney-making and a receipt showing the exact nature of the metals for $1. He said he promised to pay Ernest the money, but that he had not done so.
 The boys arrested yesterday afternoon claim there are other molds. much better than the one now held by Commissioner Cornish to be used in evidence. None of the money said to have been made by Ernest Matthews has been secured.

Jones in bar on Twentieth street, between Sec ond and Third avenue; R. L.

M. Webb, book man on Second avenue. and Fred M. Stick in the Jockey Club saloon.
 Effort was made to pass bills on Love man, Joseph & Loeb, Harry Rensford in the Stag saloon and the Auditorium the atre.
 Not Clerk at Eagle.
 Mir. w. T. Newberry, manager of the Eagle Hotel says after looking over his books for the past two years he can find no evidence to bear out the published statement that Shyle, the alleged coun- terfeiter, was ever employed as clerk in that hotel.
 A statement was made by "Baldy" Davis to the effect that he knew Shyle and that he was formerly clerk in the Eagle Hotel, and he was known as Bill Cornell. MT. Newberry took charge Of the hotel about two years ago and he says he can find no record of man by the name of Cornell working there since he assumed the management.

The knockers are routed. Another
jack strike has been made just
south of Baxter Springs. The ex-
tent of the strike is not yet known,
but the drill has gone far enough
into the ore body to justify the as
sertion that the strike is as good If
not better than the first.
Jan. 10th the first strike was made.
Mr.. Abrams, on whose land it was
made, formed company called the
Iowa and Oklahoma Development
Company and at once began sink
ing another drill hole. The second
drill went to work about $50 yards
distant from the first one, and at a
depth of 80 feet zinc ore of extraor-
binary richness was struck. The
strike was made Monday late in the
afternoon, but by 5 o'clock the drill
had penetrated the ore body six
feet. Work was stopped for the day
and the exceedingly wet weather
since retarded the work. The ore
found is of high grade and the
drill penetrated what seems to be
an almost solid bed of it.
This second strike means great
deal to Baxter Springs. 1t is close
by and the development of the find
is bound to build up our beautiful
little city. Baxter Springs people
should aid and encourage the de-
velopment of the mineral fields and
thereby reap the reward of years of
anxious expectations.
Work in the sinking of the shaft
at the discovery hole was aus.
pended the first of the week by the
parties having the contract. They
threw up their contract, claiming
the ground is too hard for them.
But there is not ing discouraging
in this. The contract will be let to
miners who know how to handle
and shoot hard ground and the
work will proceed.
Next week more drills will be put
to work. A hole will be drilled a
quarter of mile east of the second
strike and still another one about
200 yards north. Other holes will
but down all over the land in the
vicinity of the two discovery holes.
