GOOD RECORD MADE.
Monon Mining Company Sinks ~
Feet In Hard Ground In 46 Shifts
They Have Fine Property

A comparatively new company
in the Baxter Springs District is
the Monou Mining Company, com.
posed of gentlemen from Pennsyl'
vauia. Mr.. II. J. Millar, late super
intendent of the Ellsworth Coal
Company, is president of the COM
pauy, and Mr.. ]. ]. Thomas, late
master mechanic of the same CON-
pany, lie vice-president aud general
manager. While lead and zinc
mining is a new proposition for
these gentlemen, yet they take to 1t
like duck takes 10 water, and have
secured for their company very
valuable lease. We refer especially
to their lease of ten acres which
they have secured from E. C. Matth-
ews & Co. on the Buck land. The
shaft which they have had sunk on
this ground 10 already down into
the ore body, and although the
sinking was quite hard. they put
the shaft down n feet in 40 shifts,
or rather, to make II more plain, 30
working days. A small part of the
time they worked double shift.
The shaft, as we said, has pene-
trated the ore body, and the ore 10
of high grade. The ehaft was sunk
near drill hole, which showed 70
feet of very rich ore from 90 TO u
feet, and we are glad to say that the
shaft verifies in every particular
the drill hole. Not content with
one drill hole, the company had
four more drill holes put down, and
10 every one Of them the same run
of very rich ore was struck. Old
lead and zinc miners tell us that
the cuttings from these holes are
as rich az can be found In any lead
and zinc mining district, Since
striking the ore body In the shaft,
the Monon companywill drive drifts
and further develop the ground,
and Just az soon as Il is opened up
sufficiently to furnish dirt enough
to keep 4 mill going. q modern
plant viii be built. Surrounded as
Il is, by fine producing properties,
the Monon company certainly has
9 very bright prospect 10 make big
money for its stockholders. Stock
in the company shouId now be
worth par, but whether any can be

fore very long. Speaking about
the surroundings, we will say that
the Monon lease of the Buck land
is surrounded by as fine a lot OF
lead and zinc properties as can be
found anywhere. Among them are
Tanuehill & Co. on the northwest,
who are taking out lots of high
grade zinc ore, assaying 90 per cent
metallic zinc; the Old Abe mine 10
just to the southeast, and 10 max
ing fine showing every week; the
ST 10 making 100 per cent on the
original investment of $500 every
ten weeke; Summers & Co. on the
west have gotten their shaft almost
down into a fine body of ore; the
Diamond c Company TO the south.
west is going to be one of the finest
producers in the camp when the
ground is thoroughly opened up;
the Dirty Dozen company, south of
the Monon shaft, is going right
down on one of the best drill holes
ever put down. II 10 hard 10 gee

the Monon can help being big

going to sink second shaft right
away. II will be only about l25
feet away from the fret shaft and
the company expects to beat lite
former record In sinking the new
shaft. Mr.. Millar and Mr.. Thomas
are new men here. but they have
the right ideas, and 80 far have
been very fortunate 10 securing
some mighty good leases. We Say
this because we understand they
have come other holdings in the
camp. The many friends of Mes.

of their success in this camp.

strike is remarkable from more than

 James Madden, who runs the pool room on Bank street. will in all proba- bility sell out the place in another week or two. It is understood that the pool room will no longer be conducted there. but bake shop will be carried on by Daniel O'Brien. who now runs a store across the street. Rocco Di Orio. who runs barber shop in this section. is after the pool room, but as Mir Byron has rented the store to O'Brien. Rocco will have to look up new location if he decides to buy Madden's outfit.

LEFT HIS CLOTHES
Man in the South End of the City
 Whois Worrying the People

The south end of the city is very much agtated over the presence of an alleged wild man in the woods off Syl- van, avenue and from recent develop ments there is more truth than fiction in teh story.
 During the past week somebody. evidently the wild man. has cut up ail kinds of antics and kept at it until late into the night. and in some in- stances until daybreak. Thursday ay- ening he kept running from one place to another and inquring for this place and that, but when those on whom he called offered replies, he in- variably ran away. At one house he said he was trying to locate friend on Ridge street, but when the party showed him the way he ran in the other direction and when last seen he was scampering through Mohawk park.
 The climax was reached this mOru- ing when Thomas Reynolds. who lives near the end of the old city line. found near his home mans collar and neck tie. coat and vest. shoes and stockings and couple of pipes. Nobody can account for the presence of the ilr- ticles of wearing apparel being left there except that the so-called wild man thought he was in d house and divested himself of his clothes and later on woke up and forgot to put them on.
 Nobody about the neighborhood can shed any light on the mystery. None of the neighbOrs is missing and as NNo- body has called to claim the clothes they have come to the conclusion that the owner wandered into the woods nearby and perished. MT Reynolds has given the matter as much pub- licity as possible and states that the owner of the articles of wearing ap- parel can have them by calling at his house and proving property.
 It is rather dark spot where the clothes were picked up and people who take little stock in the wild man story are somewhat fearful that some- body was waylaid and robbed and then probably killed and the clothes left there to throw the authorities off the track. But this is not likely. It is quite probable that it was the result of crazy fit OH the part of some drunken man, who thought he was in his bed room. The clothes are good, so that whoever owns them he certain ly is no hobo. and this is where the mystery deepens.

Philadelphia. Oct. 22-Under most unusual conditions "The Clansman," was presented here tonight at the Wal. nut Street Theatre.
 The negro clergy of the city had made a formal protest to Mayor wss- yer against the production. claiming that 'lynchings have bean encouraged by the play" Tho Mayor refused to take any action.
 About half an hour before the thea. tre opened. Ninth and Walnut streets. where the playhouse Is located, were packed with colored people.
 Director of Public Safety Kenna, who hastensd to the scene. begged the min. isters to disperse the mob.
 A riot call was sent in and patrol wagons brought half hundred police. men to the theatre.
 The colOred ministers surrounded Di. rector kenna and demanded that he stop the play. The Director delivered brief speech, asking the crowd to disperse and saying that he would en- deavor to have the presentation dis. continued after tonight. This seemed to have a soothing effect and the crowd slowly scattered.
 Early in the evening q negro man att tempted to create Q disturbance in the theatre. He was arrested but the police had considerable difficulty in rescuing him from the crowd in the gallery.
