Next Number of Lecture
Course.

The Dixie Jubilee Singers, COM
posed of seven people, appear at
the M. f. church Wednesday
evening, Nov. q, at 8 o'clock.
This is considered the star
number of the course, and is said
to be the best talent of its kind
in America.
We think it is a safe prediction
that all who attend will be enter
tanned. Those not having sea-
son tickets should come early to
secure good seats.

THE MINING EXCHANGE.

The mining exchange met last
Tuesday evening as usual, and
after the reading of the minutes
of the last regular meeting some
bills were allowed, after which
came the committee reports. The
committee appointed to confer
with w. S. Baxter, about the re-
port of ore sales in the Baxter
Springs Camp made a report, but
for some reason or other there
was considerable speech making
about it. Perhaps the interested
parties can explain better than
we can. But at any rate after
the matter had been thrashed out
il was moved and unanimously
carried that the report of ore
sales from this camp be forward
ed directly to Mr.. Jesse A. Zook,
the statistician of the lead and
zinc district. for compilation in.
the tabulated report. Mr.. Zook
has assured the exchange of fair
treatment. as has also Mr.. Dugan,

This property is located near the

The biggest sale of the past
week was to Edward Sweeney &
Son of Duluth, MINI. They pur-
chased the 800 acres of ]. E. Put
nam, which includes the 12O-acre
Norton and Haskell land in the
center of the field. The consid-
GRAFTON was not given out by Mr..
Sweeney before he left, as he
closed his deal Saturday evening
and left that night for Bisbee,
Arizona, where he has large cop
per interests. On the leases pur-
chased are located the Cherokee,
Syndicate, Busy Bee, Independ-
ence, Irish Maid, Eleventh Hour,
besides several properties which
have been successfully tested BY
the drill. The entire 800 acres
have been pretty we'll tested and
are considered among the best
first leases in the entire camp.
Among the other purchases
made by Mr.. Sweeney is the first
lease on the McAllister property
Just west of the Old Abe. and the
40 acres cornering on the Meal
lister and west of it and south.
This makes Mr.. Sweeney's hold
ings a solid and continuous block
of 40 acres.
1t is not known if other parties
are to be interested with him or
not. It is believed by those who
know of Mr.. Sweeney's standing
his purchases will be followed by
the advent of a large number of
the iron and copper crowd into
this section in the near future.
Copper and iron are of the very
highest tide, while lead and jack
bid fair to go much higher. The
price has been held down by the
smelters until there is said to be
shortage and then the Baxter
Springs mining camp is in its
initial stages and the operator
coming in here now has an adj
vantage which mining men are
not slow to take advantage of.
Wilfred G. Sweeney, a recent
graduate of the Houghton School
of mines, who is associated with
his father, has opened Offices upl
stairs next door to the post0ffice

Of the Sweeney Engineering Co.
He will do surveying of all kinds,
either surface or underground,
make examinations of properties

ASK SUPPORT FOR SEWER

Douglas Taxpayers to Vote on the Question Next
 Friday,

DOUGLAS, June l2.-(Spec:al.)- The sewer bonds proposed by the City Council will be submitted for the approval or rejection of the voters and taxpayers of Douglas on Friday next. The following statement has been is sued by the Councilmen:
 Before you decide whether O. not you will approve the bonds, We wish to lay before you a statement of the situation as We understand it, and ex- plain our position in the matter.
 We do not believe that one man in ten in the city doubts the necessity of a sewer system, as an abstract prop osition, but there arc several Objec- lions made to voting the bonds at the present time, which should be careful ly considered and analysed
 The first objection made is that the cost of connection would be 100 heavy for the ordinary citizen 70 pay a5 Cace.
 This. v,e think is unfounded. Even if the bonds are carried it will b. q year Jt the best before the SeWe: can be n operation, and connection wll 10: be required till then. Tae -olal 1 cLpc2ze of connection, including flush ,lose-, should not cXceei >75, and for tno>c who already Eaya closets he 1 only cNpcTse wog-l De -:- extending l tn4 soil pipe fsocl is a-ra"Hc e1I -o ! ne alley in the back ,. le lo;. 1 While Jai5 Ll2= ~v,-3 -- Ae c5lsid- i eraJle 2XGe1se.

 ] If we do ncr ge. 2 sewcr system ir l will be necessary 70 take extra Drs- 1 cautions. which will in the end exceed i the cost Of sCre- connection, and will only be temporary -lakesh.fc at lAe l 5tst.
 Tho principal objection which has been raised, however. is lack O. water l for flushing. There is no question that DClglGs has suffered severely in the last -wo months from lack Of water As 70 waUsp fault 1t IS there is 10 H5Gd to discuss n this c~nlCcCOn. Wha, tte people of Douglas want is w2Icr and not excuses. But this should not 1 aEect the sewer bonds, for it will bc ! q year before wGte- is required. We
