The mines are presenting scene
of activity these days. About tweny
shafts are sinking and great deal
of drilling is being done.
The Sunny Side mill is running
right along and making a ton of
jack per hour, which is much better
than was expected. The mill is run
ming ten hours a day, but work
goes on in the ground night and
day.
Ford, Troupe q Co.'s new mill was
fired up yesterday, and as soon as
the jigs are bedded will begin to
make marketable ore. An immense
body of ore has been developed
here, and the turn.ins will be big
ones.
The Ozark Horse" is hosting nice
ore, both lead and silicate, and the
bottom of the body has not yet been
reached.
d. B. Perkins has his shaft about
to the ore body. The drill showed
large amount of free ore here, and
it is expected large body will be
found that will be easy to handle
and clean.
The Grace Hill Mining Company's
drill is down about so feet in very
fine looking ground.
The Baxter Mining Company viii
begin drilling in few days on the
Matte Dardenne land.

KATY OFFICIALS HERE.

Several of the head officials of
the N. X. and I. Railway Company
were here Wednesday TO look over
the mines. Ii is limited that the ka-
ty contemplates building a line
from near Quaker, FIVE miles north
of Baxter Springs, to Vinita, /. T.,
via Baxter Springs and the new
mining district. This may or may
not be true, but We will be glad TO
see something of this kind done. 1t
is limited in railroad circles that
the Katy ia in bad way financial
ly, and is retrenching in every way
possible. The Joplin Globe of Wed
nesday says the retrenchment and
cutting down ofexpenses is to keep
the road out of receivership, ii
possible. The building of the road
suggested would help the Katy out
because the road would traverse a
rich section.

we have no water works, does not
give the best of service, while oil, az

protecting American commerce from
the river pirates in China, General
Bragg speaks Of the numerous British,
French and German light-draft gun
boats detailed for this service. Then
he asks:
Can it be expected that American
commerce will thrive, relying upon its
rivals for protection? ~
General Bragg speaks Of the plod-
ding persistence with which the Brit
ish have built up their trade in China
thru many years, and says that altho
this trade amounts at present to many
millions, it is but speck when the
possibilities of a trade with 100000

In speaking of the shortcomings of
the Americans who are looking for
trade in the orient, General Bragg
says the american seller Is too much
inclined to insist that he knows the
wants Of the buyer better than the
buyer does HIMSELF
General Bragg speaks Of the racial
prejudices of the Chinese, their slow
ness in taking to new ideas and their
suspicious of new things and new
ways, and says that the great difficult

to find sudden riches in trade with
such a. people, overlooking the fact
