THE MINES.

The mines made their regular
weekly turn-in last week.
The Sunny Side, Mission and
Dark Horse mines are producing
lots of fine ore these days, but the
outputs will be greatly increased
as the ground is opened up more.
Post & Co. have gotten in to the
top of their ore body, and it bids
fair to be a good one. These men
have pounded some mighty hard
rock in the sinking of their shaft,
and they deserve to have rich
mine.
Perkins is sinking again this
week in his shaft on the Crawfish
land, and will soon be down to
what he has been looking fora
big body of zinc ore.
On the Charter's land, Putnam &
Co., are getting ready to sink a
shaft where the drill showed such
an awful rich body of ore.
The Baxter Mining Company lie
still drilling, but in short time
will begin the sinking of shafts on
come of the strikes they have made
in drilling.
McRuer & Co., on the Gaines.
Brewster lease, are very yearly
down to the ore body. They will
have a mine like the Mission mine,
as the drills showed exactly the
same kind of formation, both as to
stone and ore bearing ground.

GOLDEN WEDDING.

On July 18th at the home of Moses
NJ. Akin and wife, was celebrated
the fiftieth WEDDING anniversary OF
the above esteemed couple. Father
Akin and Christina Neldon joined
hearts and hands July Is, 1854, in
Greer county, Indiana, and eight
children came to bless their union,
three boys and FIVE girls. Four are
still living and were with their aged
parents on this happy occasion,
they being Frank Akin Of Fulton,
kas., and NJ. L. and ]. A. Akin and
Mrs. W. R. Bingham of Ouapaw.
At the dinner table, which was
loaded with all the heart could
wish, and surrounded by their chill.
dren and many friends, the writer
thought how many of us younger
generation will live to celebrate our
fiftieth marriage anniversary after
going through the hardships that
are sure to be met in fifty years,
from Indiana to western Oklahoma,
and still be as hale, and hearty, and
jovial of spirit, as Father Akin and
wife are today. Their married life
has been spent as follows: From
1854 to 1865 in Indiana; during this
period Mr.. Akin went through the
civil war and followed the stars and
stripes over many q bloody battle
field. In 1865 he moved to Illinois
and then to Kansas, in the vicinity
of Fl, Scott, in 1868, which was then
just recovering from the effects of
the war, and where human life wac
no more sacred than the life of a
coyote, with which the prairies were
covered, and Notwithstanding the
ravages of the grasshoppers, chinch
bugs, billiards and Kansas Popu-
Lists they lived till 1892, when they
joined the rush to Oklahoma, which
was then opened for settlement. Mr..
Akin secured and improved claim
but to avoid drouths, sand storms
and prairie dogs, in 1895 they re-
turned to this part of the beautiful
Indian Territory, where they have
since resided. The happy couple
received several beautiful presents
from their children and friends.
After enjoying the hospitality of
this generous couple few houre,
we departed, wishing that Father
Akin and wife may live to celebrate
many more az pleasant anniversa.

BADLY BUNOED UP.

John Strom, a big swede. fore.
man of the slip gang at the Lowell
dam works, was brought before the
Justice of the Peace, L. C. Jones, on
Monday of this week to answer to
charge of assault and battery. The
big Swede was arraigned and he
entered a plea of not guilty, and
not being ready to so to trial at
once, on account of no Witnesses
present, his preliminary hearing
was postponed, trial set for the 4th.
Immediately upon further notice
received from the county attorney,
who was consulted in the case,
Strom was placed under bond Of
one hundred dollars which he
gave.
On Monday of this week John
Strom, a big Swede, about thirty
years old, and weighs only about
two hundred and thirty pounds,
made a vicious and cowardly
attack to injure and harm 7.
J. Temple, a harmless old gentle.
man, who was employed on the slip
gang and working under Strom.
The attack was beastly outrage
upon the old man, beating him up
scandalously, Temple receiving not
less than a dozen cuts and bruises
about the face, and for that matter,
slap with the open hands
would be too much for an old man
like Temple and to look at Strom a
man would rather receive a few
kicks from mule than to receive
a light touch of his hands. Temple
was considerably bunged up.
Temple claims the trouble arose
over a clevis belonging to him.
which the big Swede claimed was
his. until finally the argument
ceased, and actual trouble began.
