OF course, the knocking of the
knockers does no harm except
temporarily, but it is aggravat.
ing. Some of the brokers of Jop-
lin have attempted to get hold of
properties in the Baxter Springs
camp in order to sell them, and
not being successful they just
knock. The good people of Jop-
lin should call a halt on their
business enemies. Most of the
supplies furnished to Baxter
Springs camp come from Joplin,
and why the business men of that
city will allow lot of knockers
to hurt their business is hard to
understand. We expect to see it
stopped very soon.
The Joanna mill is shut down
for a general overhauling. Mr..
Foster, the superintendent, tells
us the mill was not built properly
to handle large amount of dirt,
and it is going to be necessary to
raise all of the jigs, and also line
up all the shafting. The Joanna
is in the biggest kind of lead ore.
In stopping in the east and south
east drifts big body of lead has
been opened up, and it is getting
bigger the farther the stopping
goes. The lead is in big sheets
and chunks, and is almost clean
enough to dump into the bin. 1t
is only necessary to wash off the
dirt which sticks to it. AS soon as
the mill is put in first class con-
dition, Mr.. Foster expects to
break all records in the way of
lead production.
Mrs. A. P. Cosgrove of Joplin
was Baxter Springs visitor Sum
day. While here Mrs. Cosgrove
went down into the camp to look
at the mines. Mrs. Cosgrove has
had considerable experience in
mining matters and has made
many thousands of dollars at the
business. She was simply as
founded at what she saw. She
declared that the development
was simply wonderful, and gave
it as her opinion that the Baxter
Springs camp would make one of
the best producers of lead and
zinc in the world. She said she
had been led to believe by some
of the Joplin knockers that the
Baxter Springs camp was no
good at all. Speaking of the
Mission mine forty acres she said
she believed there are many mil
lion dollars worth of ore on the
land. Mrs. Cosgrove has had
very excellent investments in the
other camps. Only few months
ago she bought a piece of mining
property for eight Thousand dol
lars, and short time ago she re-
fused sixty thousand dollars for
lit.
The dirt from the Mission mine
is getting richer as the work pro-
crosses. The jack is coming in
heavier, as is also the lead. The
lead is coming in big chunks,
and so rich has the dirt become
that it has been found necessary
to slow down the mill so as moi
to crowd the jsgs. The Mission
is making clear money every
week, now, and as soon as the
big new mill can be built the ,di-
vidends are going to be some
thing enormous. The entire forty
acres has been drilled, and not q
blank hole has been struck In
every drill hole good ore has beer
encountered. One very strange
thing in connection with the
drilling on this forty is the fact
that in only one of the drill holes
has any lead cuttings showed,
Iyet the drifting toward the drill
holes has always uncovered thu
biggest kind of lead. Exper
, fenced miners say, however, thai

Burton for a rehearing by the Supreme Court of
the United States in the case against him was to-
day received by the clerk of that court. The petit
tion is signed by Mr. Burton's counsel, consisting
of John F. Dillon, +. w. Lehman, Harry Hubbard
w. X. Haynes, w p Hackney and b p Wag
gener. They hold that the court should have sus-
tained the contention that Section 17S2 the statute
under which Burton was prosecuted, was unoon-
sttutionaI and void and is urged that the opinion
of the court shows that many important considefa-
tions bearing on that statute were overlooked.
It is also urged that there was proof to sus-
tain the charge of the indictment that Burton
rendered service to the Rialto Grain Company IN
the proceeding of the United states against IT.
