WANT RIGHT OF WAY.
Electric Railway People Ask Aid
Of Commercial Club.

Messrs Rucker and Dow were in
the city Monday night from Baxter
Syringe seeking an interview with
the commercial club officers says
the Galena Times. The gentlemen
represented the Brown Syndicate
of Chicago which is preparing TO
build the electric railway from Ga
lena to Baxter and south. They
want the commercial club 10 secure
a right of way from Galena to Low
ell. The Lowell people are enter
prising and are working for the
right of way from Baxter to Lowell.
The gentlemen want the right of
way secured Immediately, as they
expect to run the electric power of
the Spring River Power Company
and the railway power over wires
strung on one set of poles. If the
right of way cannot be secured, the
Spring river people will run a more
direct line for the transmission Of
power. The commercial club will
doubtless act favorably.

THE MINES.

The suit of the Baxter Mining
Company against Crawford, Wrigh
x McKeen of Terre Haute, Ind, Il
compel the transfer of certain min
ing leases held by the defendant,
to the plaintiff, has been settled ou
of court The leases have beer
transferred to the Baxter Mining
Company, who will at once begir
development on q big scale. The
defendants owned a two.third in
terest in the leases and ]. C. Has
kett of this city owned one.third
Mr.. Haskell has leased his interest
to the Baxter Mining Company
also. The leases embrace the fol.
lowing well known mineral tracts
as well as others: Alice Valliere,
Widow Crawfish, Tom Crawfish,
Mary Wilhoite, Malinda Hunt Sui.
Ivan, Joseph W. Hunt, and others,
l160 acres in all. The Baxter Min.
ing Company has the past week
sub.leased 1914 acres in ten and
twenty acre tracts. and work will
begin on them at once.
A big strike of zinc ore has been
made by the drill at work on the
forty adjoining the Mission mine,
on the Gaines. Brewster lease. The
cuttings are very rich and the drill
shows something over twenty feet
of ore. A shaft will be started
down to the ore body at once.
McRuer & Co., who are sinking a
shaft on land adjoining the Mission
mine, on the Gaines Brewster lease,
have struck wonderful prospect.
Great big chunks of both'lead and
zinc ore are being hoisted. The
bottom of the body will not be
reached for some time yet. The
owners of the prospect are highly
eiated over their find, which will
prove to be as good as any.
Post * Co., on the l. & 0. ground,
have struck their ore body, as We
stated last week, but they have also
struck Tote of water. and have shut
down to put in pump. This pros
pect will make great nine.
TheI x D. Company has leased
the Sunburst shaft to some parties
from Joplin, who will put in machi'
merry and go after the ore in a sys.
tematic manner.
The Dark Horse people are going
to cross-cut their ground to ascer.
tain the extent of the ore body. and
IL it proves what they expect it TO. a
plant will be built. This is a very
promising prospect.
Walker * Spiva, here in town, are
bothered with water, and q pump
or steam holster will have to be put
in. They have good ore in the bot
tom of their shaft and II is getting
better right along.
Work has been commenced on the
Wear ground east of the Syringe
park. The miners have gone in to
an old shaft hich was sunk about
thirty years ago, but was aban.
doned because OF the heavy water.
They will find a good body of ore!
There is q great deal of work
done around here these days in the
way of mining and prospecting.
