DO YOU OWN YOUR noMEp

To those who live in rented houses
we would say word. The time is
soon com ny when il will be much
harder to buy home than now.
Rents will be much higher and
good residence lots will be beyond
the reach of many who are now able
to pay for them. If you can get a
vacant lot or two now you will have
no trouble in borrowing money to
build small house go that when
you are crowded out by high rents
you will have place of your own.
To those VINO intend making ,Bax-
ter Springs their future residence
we would say, buy now, while prop
erty is cheap. Get lot or two, set
out some fruit and shade trees; pre-
pare il for a pleasant home when
you get ready to build. Don't wait
till prices are beyond your reach.
There will never be time again
when property can be bought as
cheapiy as now.
The future of Baxter Springs is
assured. The town has got a start
that cannot be checked. We may
have a city before we know II. In
the history of the city there has
never been such favorable pros
pest for a sgbstantial and perma.
nent growth. 1t will not only be
mining town, but railroad town
and a manufacturing iowa. New
features are coming to the front
every day, and they are in our IA
vor. The big electric power plant
will give US an advantage as a
manufacturing town over all 9th
ers. II you want a home in the
best town in Kansas, buy lot in
Baxter Springs. and buy IL now.
Jim Goodwin is coming TO town
to live.

FROM QUAPAw.

Nice autumn weather now, out q
little dry and haying about done.
Hotel Joe came in home Saturday
night, after an absence of several
weeks. He will move his family to
Liberal, Mo-, this week. The Hon,
]. A. Martin, formerly known as
Hotel John, will take charge OF the
hotel vacated by Hotel Joe, and the
aforesaid Hon. John hints for q
little advertising space without
cost, as he would like to see the
hungry and sleepy travelling pub
lie come to his place of business.
Come all, and If you have not the
money tell him before meal time
and not weary your conscience by
waiting till next morning.
c. C. Edgington and family were
down from Scammon the fore part
of this week visiting his parents.
Our p. NJ. looks worried this
week. He says he has been wrest'
ling with his grandson.
G. r. Boggs made his regular
trip to Miami last Sunday. We
suppose he is taking treatment as
he goes to Prof. ]. W. Shields.
Walt Naylor of Baxter Springs
shipped three cars of cattle from
Quapaw last Sunday. He was az.
sisted in loading by Charlie Opper-
man, a COW puncher OF western
fame, but Walt says Charlie surely
had eaten fabbit for dinner or he
could not have jumped that gate in
the stock chute when the steers
turned and looked at him.
A few nights ago lightning killed
the pony belonging to Addie and
Pearl Murphy of our city.
Last Monday evening e heard a
noise similar to the recent powder
works explosion at Columbus. only
more lengthy. We first thought it
was Whiskers coming to town, but
on investigating we found that the
long cared noisy cuss was tied be-
hind covered wagon bound for
Oklahoma.
Floyd was hunting John Martin
this evening. He said he wanted to
retain his position at the hotel as
bell boy if Miss Eva stayed.
The Quapaw Mining Company
has leased the boiler and engine
out Of Bingham and Co.'s elevator
here and is moving them out to the
company's mines near the Sunny
Side.
FLOYD Allen made a visit 10 Mia
mi today to see the promoters OF
the Miami Oil Co. He wished to
secure a position as driller, but
learned they would only give him
the position by him subscribing
for so much stock in the company
and paying for it in work; but he
thought as the product would be
so hard to market, owing TO the
scarcity of pipe lines and oil care,
and being afraid TO ship in stock
cars owing to the fact that they
would have to be shipped through
Ouapaw, and also fearir e that
some of the mining companies
would take a few barrels to salt
their drill holes here, he declined
the proposition.

missed in the home, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray have the sympathy of the
entire community in this their sad
hour of bereavement. But the
Giver of Life said Suffer little chill

dom of heaven" Funeral services
were held last Friday, conducted
by Rev. Samuel Clinton, a Modoc
Indian, and the remains were in
tered in the Five Mile cemetery.

THE MINES.

II. l. ViCSdTtHy VI tuc DdAtSi INtu-
ing Company made deal Monday,
whereby he acquired the three
tenths interest of ]. o. Goodwin in
the famous Mission mine and mill,
known as the Ford d Troupe mine.
The property is among the best in
the district and is earning good di-
vidends for its owners. A 150-ton
mill lie on the ground and just as
soon as the ground is opened up
80 that large enough force OF
hands can be put to work the mill
will be run "a hours per day. 1t is
estimated, and the estimate Is a
conservative one, that within the
next 30 days this mill and mine will
be making its owners $1,000 net per
week. The McRuer shaft, north
west of the Ford & Troupe mine,
has been connected with the latter.
and the ore from that shaft will be
cleaned on the Ford & Troupe mill.
And IL when the ground is further
opened up II is found the mill can
not handle all the dirt, another mill
will be built. The entire 40 acres
under lease by the Ford q Troupe
Company has been prospected by a
drill, and in every hole good pay
ing ore was found.
Some good ore has been found on
adjoining the McNaughton farm in
the Peoria reservation, and more
prospecting will be done. Good
ore has been found az far down as
lack Lees in the Ottawa reserva-
ton. and just few days ago we
heard that an ore body was pene'
trated by a drill on the Lykin's
farm. northeast of Miami. ltwould
seem, from the wide area covered
by the drill holes and the large
number of holes in which ore has
been found, that the whole Qua
paw Agency was underlaid by ore,
and, further drilling has proved
that the ore bodies reach up to this
city. Let the good work 60 on.
Mr.. Scott who owns the old Jacob
Filter farm. southwest of this city,
has been doing some drilling, and
has discovered some jack. He will
prospect the land further.
A company is being formed at
Omaha to sink a shaft and fully de-
velop the Opperman land, just
south of town. Five drill holes
have been put down on the place.
and all show good ore.
The Strong Bow Mining Compa-
ny is sinking shaft northwest OF
the Dark Horse. This shaft was err
roueously credited TO the Mission
and Cincinnati Mining Company.
The Morea Mining Company,
which has lease on ten acres OF
the Abrams land, just west OF the
Dark Horse, has started a shaft.
Ginder & Co. have made a very
rich strike of ore on their lease OF
the Charters ground. AT % feet the
drill struck rich zinc ore and con
.tinued in il IS feet. \ shaft will be
sunk at once.
Fully 30 shafts are now sinking
on certainties, and within the next
sixty days a number OF them will
bc in ore.
The Dark Horse, Sunny Side and
Mission mines each produced car
of zinc ore this week. and the Dark
Horse and Mission mines outputted
several thousand of lead.
Red Ike Bingham, Black Ike
Bingham, Riley Bingham and 9TH
ers have begun sinking on the
Abrams land near the big hay barn.
The drill showed good big ore there

OUR NEW BUILDINGS.

The new building of the Baxter
National Bank and the Masonic
fraternity will be an ornament to
the city and any city would be
proud of such a building. The
bank people will have splendid
quarters on the first floor, with
room for large mercantile estab-
iish ment, and the second floor will
be entirely devoted to the Masons.
They will have one of the finest
lodge rooms in the state, besides a
big banquet hall, ante rooms, sanct-
uaries, synagoguee, holy of holes,
and other mysterious and sublime
constructions that only Royal Arch
Masons should know anything
about. Selah!
The new Christian church is also
a building in which our people
should take pride. 1t is an up.to-
date little church with all modern
improvements, of very attractive
style of architecture and certainly
an ornament to the city. -.
We cannot say az much for the
new public library, which poor
Peter Johnston supposed would be
built sometime in the Goth century,

made visible to the naked eye.
There is no apparent reason why

ED. NEWS: What is it worth to

Establishments of various kinds if
we will put forth the needed effort.
We have the cheapest power, the
best geographical location, the
finest climate, purest water, and
there are men in abundance who
are seeking just such situation,
but they don't know that Baxter
Springs possesses these advant-
ages. They must be hunted up and
induced to come here and look the

If any one has the blues and is
ekeptical as to the great future of
Baxter Springs, he will find a good
tonic by taking a quick stepping
span of horses one of these magnh
ficent mornings and driving over
the beautiful prairies to the Dark
Horse Mine, where the crusher,
rolls and hand jigs are turning out
tons upon tons of zinc and lead,
making scene of most interesting
activity; then on to the Sunny Side
mill; past the Sunburst and the
Parkins and Goodwin mines; on to
the Mission mill and the many
shafts going down in that neigh
borhood. If that trip don't drive
away the blues and make him,
whistle and sing, and become a
blooming optimist, let him drive
back over the same road and look
again at the buoy mining scenes,
and he surely will by the time he
has reached the end of his journey,
be thoroughly convinced that in a
very short time there will be line
of mines and mills all the way
from the Mission Mine, and even
beyond 1t, to the northern bounda-
ries of the city of Baxter Springs,
and that night he will be figuring
up how many hundred per cent. he
will make on his city business and
residence lots.
