Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1906-05-03

One OF the most successful men In
the Baxter Mining district, and one
who has done o great deal to get the
new district opened up and develop
ed, is Mr.. E. C. Gaines of this city.
Mr.. Gaines came to this city In
1901 from Eldora, Iowa, and was
for a long time cashier OF the Baxter
National Bank, which position he
resigned on account Of Ill health.
When the first strike was made In
the Baxter Springs district Mr..
Gaines saw the possibility OF max
ing some money and at once began
securing some leases. He was one
of the pioneers In the camp, so TO
speak. With three other gentlemen
he secured q lease on the Felix OAR
denne land, on which Is located the
famous Mission mine. He and his
associates had the land drilled, and,
making three or four good strikes,
they proceeded to sink a shaft to de-
velop the property. The shaft was
not sunk to the ore when Messrs.
Ford g. Troup of Kansas City APP
peared on the scene and obtained a
sub lease on forty acres of the prop
erty, and pushed the shaft on down
to the ore body. The ore body prov
ing of richness, Messrs. Ford 4 Troup
at once built q big concentrating
plant on the property, ard began to
make money, not only for them
selves, but for Mr.. Gaines and his
associates. The property has ever since
paid and Is today paying its owners
and lease holders nice dividends.
Mr.. Gaines at one time owned the
Angel lease on which is the cele-
brated Joanna mine, but sold this
lease too quickly.

and their eyes began TO brighten; then
he hesitated. and they looked disap-
pointed. He was thinking OF q fruit
stand Just four blocks down. and OF
what Rhetta's mother had said. II he
gave oranges and bananas to all this
waiting crowd would he ever be able
TO get the hundred liraf
But the crowd Of ravenous little ones
were watching him hungrily. their
very souls appealing to him through
hopeful eyes. and the decision was In
evitable. Luigi realized this, and his
heart sank, and then rose In q great
throb Of pity that carried his hand
straight to his pyramids Of fruit But
at that moment Providence inter-
posed.
The group on the sidewalk had
stopped to watch the two little tod.
oilers eat their fruit. and had seen the
other children gather miraculously
from among the telescoping wagons
and carts and pedestrians. Now ona
OF the group came straight to Luigi's
cart, oblivious OF the cajoling and pro-
testing voices and hands Of the vend-
ers nearer the curb.
"oh, you poor little dears!" she
cried. her voice quivering. II never
knew anybody could be hungry like
that. Lit makes me feel almost
like crying" unconscious that tears
were already trickling down her
cheeks. "And here are 30 many more!

fore, coming to his cart past all the

A little later he secured the first
lease on the Coosatte land, forty
acres, lying just east OF the NJ. h.
& T. mine. On this property are
the II. C. g. II. mine, the Rush &
Elder mine and the Common Law
mine. Mr.. Gaines owns q one-half
interest In the first lease on this
forty, r. o. Thomas owning the
other half.
Mr.. Gaines has been the means OF
bringing a great many people to the
camp, and is today the owner OF
about 1900 acres of leases, all in good
territory. Being compelled to re-
main out Of doors on account Of his
health lie has gone into q regular
brokerage business. He recommends
only properties of known value, and
in almost every case his Judgment
Is good. Certain 1t Is that none OF
his purchasers have ever had cause
to regret dealing with him.
Mr.. Gaines has leases to sell. de-
veloped properties to sell, land to
suitcase, and in fact If you want to
get into business in the Baxter
mining camp you would do well to
call on or address him. All cor
respondence will he cheerfully an
swered, and you will receive cour-
teous treatment.
In addition to his holdings In
Baxter Springs district, Mr.. Gaines
has several good leases over In the
Peoria camp, which adjoins the Bax-
ter Springs camp on the east. Some
good drill strikes have been made
OH and adjacent to his holdings In
that section, and he expects to make
considerable money from these prop
critics.

more difident ones in the background,
"come and help yourselves. Let US see
how quickly we can empty the cart.

half.dozen bananas into the skirt Of O

her arms would hold no more. Wasn't
It fun! Now run home or to some
place where you can eat them at leis-
ure."
In less than three minutes from the
time Of her appearance the cart was
empty, and she was slipping a crisp
bill into Luigi's hands. But Luigi
/ drew back, his face flushing with
, shame.

"Gooda-by."
He watched her back to the side

, tightly upon the note and the other
grasping the push cart, he made his
way down the four blocks quicker than
he had ever done before.
Rhetta's mother was arranging fruit

soon after their discovery, the Portu-
guese established commercial relations
with the natives, and considerably
later the Spaniards opened trade re-
lations; but neither country exerted
lasting influence. At the beginning of
the seventeenth century the Dutch and
English traders appeared, the latter
gaining foothold in the south. Pres
emily the Dutch forced the English
out. They reappeared some time
afterward, in the northern part of the
island, but let their power wane, and
for so years there was no progress.
Early in the last century, an English
man, Sir James Brooke, awakened the
interest of his countrymen in the neg
lected country, and commercial rela-
tions presently were advanced.
That portion of British Borneo
known as Sarawak, lies southwest of
BrrNei. 1t has an area of about $4,000
square miles, and population of
about 100000. 1t is of considerable i'm
portance commercially; the chief prod
ucts are tobacco, sage, rice, gums, COT
fee, spices, jungle product and dried
fish. There is an abundance of coal;
and the precious metals, diamonds and
mercury are found. British North
Borneo has an area of $1,000 square
miles and a population of perhaps 49,
900. It has considerable commercial
Importance. A marine cable connects
Labuan with Singapore, and there is
Geographic communication to the cap
ital city. Brunei is of small extent,
it's area but $4,000 square miles. and
population only $4,000.
The principal town is named Brunei,
and IS situated on bay of the same
name. The few Englishmen that
touch there, pronounce Brunei most
interesting, built entirely on piles in
the water. 1t is called the Venice of
the east. A sketch in the London
Graphic tells us: vessels anchor in
it's main streets, and the children can
swim almost before they know how
to walk. It's market is not less SIN
:,ular-a dense pack of canoes, now
dispensing, now swarming like hive
Of bees, the occupants being nearly all
women, wearing hats as big as UNI
Erellas. The busy scene, the incessant
shouts of the crowd, and the marvel
GUS dexterity of the padding are not
likely to- be soon forgotten by. the
spectator. But there is little in the
way Of trade In Brunei. Coal indeed
there is, and in this respect sur + terri
tories in Borneo may some day prove
a very useful asset, but otherwise our
new acquisition cannot be said to- pro-
duct much, except krisses.'

'The Boarding House Baron is an
other example of what can be done
with an orange. or rather with two, for
the lower one stands in wine glass,
to which the upper is skewered by a
sharp match or toothpick. These have
been turned into very fair similitude
of the elderly made-up foreigner by
means of paper hair and moustaches,
bread-pill eyeballs fastened ] in with
pins, and a bread nose. His collar is
of paper and handkerchief Or cracker
paper furnishes very good coat. The
great object in making these little
figures SHOULD be to vary the expression
as much as possible, and advantage
may be taken of anything on the din
.ner table to secure the desired amusing
results. For instance, the pig nose of
the Boxer was produced BY Adixing q
chrysanthemum bud, the ssapae flower
furnishing shock Of hair. The head
was an apple, and the body pear, a.
may be seen. Bananas serve as arms
and legs, the former being amusingly
finished of " chestnuts, which give
the idea of boxing gloves.
Perhaps the prettiest Of all is the
little Romeo, who may be seen twang-
ing; his light guitar, His body SIS an
apple and his head "a chestnut. He has

clothed in the Christmas cracker ends.
