THE BAXTER SPRINGS POP FAC
TOBY.


Jerome Devers has established a
Soda Pop Factory in the old bath
house and is using the water OF the
famous Baxter Medical Springs for
the mandatory.
We are assured the soda pop
made from these waters must soon
become popular with the public, as
there is no water in this section of
country equal in purity and medi-
cal properties as our celebrated
spring water. The analysis of this
water shows il to be strongly i'm.
pregnated with iron, magnesia and
other valuable medical properties
that make it peculiarly desirable
for the purposes used. 1t is from
an ever flowing spring and no sur
face water, mineral or deleterious
substances can effect it's purity.
Our people and lovers of pure un-
alleged goods will patronize and
encourage Mr.. Devers in his enter
prise. We need drink no more pop
made of slough water, sewerage and
polly wog holes. Get the pure stuff
and drink hearty.

THE MINES.

the land will begin at once. Mr. Nc.
MILAN used to be one of the owners
of the Rowena mine at Cave Springs
which was famous producer in
its day, and paid handsome divi-
dends for long time.
The Il. L. Wright Mining Compa.
ny has made a big contract. The
contract calls for the sinking of FIVE
shafts on their lease of the Crawfish
land, and the erection of three mod
ern concentrating mills. The COM
pany has some of the richest ore
bearing ground in the district,
judging from the drill holes which
have been put down, and IL is the
intention to develop the ground
just as fast ne steam, men and
money can do IL.
The fame of our new mining dis
trict is growing, but not in the way
we like. For instance, the American
Magazine of Mining and Invest
ment, published at Cleveland, Ohio,
states that "the Nebraska Mining
and Development Company, near
Baskerville, NO.. is doing some
more drilling on the Angel land,
ETC." The item is correct, except
that the Nebraska Mining and De-
velopment Company lie not operat.
ing near Baskerville, Mo. This COM
pany is operating in the Indian
Territory, just south of Baxter
Springs, Kansas. Another item in
the magazine says the Jasper
County Mining Company, at Baxter
Springs. Mo-, is producing heavily,
ETC." Now, wouldn't these things |
jar you? Wouldn't they keep you
cool in August! The editor of this
famous magazine should study his
geography.
The Hobo is maintaining it's rep.
utation this week for being the best
mine ever opened up. The ore is
becoming richer, if such a thing
were possible. One day last week,
just to see how rich the dirt lie,
hand jig was installed, and in
short time ton of clean zinc ore
was made and the entire amount of
waste could be hauled away in a
at one load. There is
almost solid ore in all directions
from the shaft and all over the
drifts, and there appears to be no
waste whatever. The Hobo excites
the admiration of all who visit it.
No less than ten new mills will be
built in the Baxter Springs district
this year. They will in all probs-
ability be as follows: The Omaha;
Perkins; NJ. X. & T.; Ward & Co.; Jo-
anna; Dark Horse; Hobo: Boaz Il
Co.; E. L. Wright Il Co.; Strong Bow;
Of the mills mentioned we will state
that Boaz & Co. have purchased the
Monte Christie mill at Galena and
will at once move it to their lease
On the Crawfish land. The Hobo is
having figures and plans made for
a bran new plant. The Dark Horse
mill is already nnder construction.

ny is contemplating the construc.

The new mining district is look
ing fine this week. Work is going
on In all directions and the output
10 steadily growing. Several new
shafts are going down, all onto ore
bodies, az indicated by the drill
holes, and not a single drill hole
has proved deceptive yet. The price
of ore remains steady, and will
probably continue to do so, as the
output of the older camps is show.
ing a decrease. This of course
means that the newer camps are 60
ing to get the benefit of higher
prices, which are sure TO come as n
result of the increased consumption
of zinc. We may be optimistic, but
we believe the price of zinc ore will
be So per ton within the next five
years, and we think the price will
be there to stay. Congress at its
next session is going to be urged to
put a prohibitive tariff upon foreign
zinc ores. and If this 10 done il is
believed the effect will be higher
prices for the home product. In
1904 the spelter production was only
$4,000 tons greater than the year be-
fore, yet the increased use or de-
mand was 2SOOO tons more. This
goes to show that the production is
not keeping pace it'll the demand.
If the civilized nations of the world
increase their navies to what it is
believed they will the result is GO
ing to be a wonderful demand for
more zinc. Just at present lot of
low grade ore is being brought to
this country from Mexico, but Con-
gress can remedy this trouble very
easily. The future of zinc mining
is very bright, and as the Baxter
Springs district is only in it's infan-
cy we can congratulate ourselves
on the fact that for the next fifty
years we can no doubt supply the
decrease caused by the worked out
of the older camps. The
pre- Gales last week were as follows,
but they show only the amounts
and loaded; more than twice |
as much az is shown was actually
