remarkable Indian council that
has ever been beld in the United
States, for the reason that the
indians held open council, and
distributed to each and every
nember of their tribe the vast
inheritance, which had come to
them through their forefathers,
directly by patent from the United
States government. through
treaty dated May1S, 1888.
How we'll they administered
their estate; how they divided
their lands to the individual

by the congressional records OF

and one car of lead. The devel-
opment is progressing very salts
factorily.
Thanksgiving has come and
gone, but 1t was not forgotten in
the Quapaw mining camp south
of the city. The Foust Bros,
who have just completed the 200
ton mill for the ]. c. L. Mining
Company, celebrated the occasion
by giving a turkey dinner in the
engine room of the new mill, at
which over thirty men who have
been in the employ of Foust Bros,
on this job participated. All ex-
tend congratulations to the ]. C..
L., on the completion of their
mill. and that the camp has an
other producing mine.
The land of Mrs. Mary M. Will
hottie, deceased Quapaw, will be
sold by sealed bids. The land
consists of 231. 3S acres, and lies
right In the heart of Baxter
Springs mining district, being
Just north of the Old Abe, and adj
Joins the land on which the Dia-
moud c mine is located. Bids will
be opened on the 18th of Decem-
Der, and any information wanted
can be secured by writing to
Horace B. Durant, U. S. Indian
Agent, Wyandotte, l. T. The
legal description of the land is as
follows: N. E. quarter and the
N. w. quarter of the S. Z. quarter
of section sc, township %, range
% east, and lot No. 4, section 4,
township %, range % east.
NJ. S. Parker, mining engineer,
is making a survey of the Mis-
sion Mining Company property,
both underground and on top to
locate the new 1000-ton mill
which this company is about to
install. The machinery houses
have submitted bids, which the
directors have under cOnsidera-
ton, and the contract will be let
for the first unit of 500 tons
within the present month. Ac-
tive operations will commence
early in January and the compa-
ny expect to have the first unit
in operation not later than May
1st. The run of last week shows
a marked improvement in the
percentage of ore values saved,
and as lead is increasing the
values are much greater than at
any time since the mine has been
. in operation.
The Sunburst is showing up
z some mighty big ore the past
week. ]. C. Bryner, who is do
ing the development work,
brought in samples of his latest
ore taken out of shaft No. 3 and
it certainly shows up fine. This
shaft now has 80 feet of drifting
to the south, showing rich ore all
the way, and the deposit encoun-
tered the past week is the same
as the Hobo mine is cutting in
its north drifts, which are only
eighty feet to the south and
which are being driven north to
connect with this south drift OF
the Sunburst. The Indiana just
to the west is showing up re-
markably rich lead and jack in
its east drift. Gatlin is encoun-
tering the same to the east and
north, thus demonstrating that
this immense ore deposit covers
the Ayers-Sloan, White Eagle,
Western Mining Co., Omaha,
Winner, Good Luck, Hobo. Cat
lin, Indiana and Sunburst leases,
all of which are within a radius
of few hundred feet of each
other. This is the richest de-

and become another producer IN
the Baxter Springs Mining camp.
Since their annual meeting some
weeks ago when the stockholders
of the company were here from
Indiana, J. w. Watson, manager
for the Omaha, and Hobo mines
has inspected the Indiana, and
made this statement to the Ex-
change: Baxter Springs, Kan
sas, December 3, 1906. ]. c.
Sproull, City, Dear Sir:-I had
the pleasure of inspecting the
Indiana Lead and Zinc Company's
mine on last Saturday. To say
/ was surprised, is but mildly
speaking. A better face of ore l
have not seen in this camp. Have
seen larger faces, but not so rich
with lead. There was between
five and six feet of good lead in
the face. We took a pick and
picked out good rosin jack in the
bottom of the drift. Judging
from our Hobo mine, which is
but a short distance from the In
diana, they should have face OF
lead and jack from IS to rs feet.
The ore is of fine quality and l
predict for them fine mine, and
am pleased to make this report to
the Baxter Mining Exchange.
Yours truly, J. w. Watson.
Messrs. Newlands & Merritt,
owners of the now famous Mer-
rift mine in the Baxter Springs
camp, purchased during the past
week, a two hundred-top mill at
Chitwood, and will remove the
same to their mine as fast as
men and money can do the job.
The mill will be installed and
put in operation and another pro-
Queer in the camp will have be-
come an accomplished fact. The
history of the Merritt mine is
one that gives splendid object
lesson and fully illustrates what
prudence and sticktoitiveness will
accomplish in the lead and zinc
mining camp like the one we
have south of town. John Mer-
rift has a financial hacker in the
person of Chris Newlands, OF
Stippville, Kansas, and he was a
financial hacker of the right sort.
They encountered the greatest
water proposition that has been
gone into in the Baxter Springs
camp, and the ore was at the
deepest depth of any encountered,
and where they went into the
body of ore it did not show very
rich, and it took nerve on the
part of John Merritt "and even
more nerve on the part of Mr..
Newlands to pump this water
until they drifted into better
things. They persisted in their
efforts to conquer the water and
did so, and were rewarded by one
of the best jack finds in the whole
southwestern field. They have a
thirty-foot face of as rich ore as
can be found anywhere. Incl
dentally it might not be amiss to
mention the fact that the man
whose mill they just bought I'M
der mortgage foreclosure listened
to the Joplin croakers, who is so
persistent with the story that
birds would nest in the mills in
the Baxter Springs mining camp
before another six months" (and
this they said over a year ago.,
and he went into the Chitwood
camp where he had a more near
ly "sure thing" John Merritt
was his own Judge and went into
the Baxter Springs mining camp.
Joplinites-have thought it quite
the proper in the past to knock
every other camp in the south
western field, whenever they were
not knocking each others proper

own individual property look

tee, to consider the leasing ques-
ton in the Quapaw Reservation,
reported through their chairman.
Mr.. J. w. Watson, that they had
met on Wednesday evening and
gained the following information.
That the Quapaw Reservation,
consisting of a tract of land about
sixteen miles from east to west,
and six miles from north to south,
located in the extreme northeast
corner of the Indian Territory,
being bound by the state line OF
Kansas, and on the east BY the
state line of Missouri, containing
SC, 659,2l acres, being a part OF
$50 sections of land patented to
the Quapaw Indians as tribe,
in consideration for the relin-
quishmcnt and conveyance to the
United States government OF all
its rights and title to the lands
given them by the Caddo Indians
on the Bayou Treache of the Red
river, as per Article II, Treaty
Of the United States government
with the Quapaw Indians. dated
May 10, 1888, was confirmed, and
proclamation issued by the Presi-
dent of the United States April
II, 1884. q stat, 424.
Article ii. 1.-The United States
hereby agree to convey to the
Quapaw Indians one hundred and
fifty sections of land west of the
state line of Missouri and be-
tween the lands of the Senecas
and Shawnees, not heretofore as
signed to any other tribe OF In
dams, the same to be selected
and assigned by the commits
sioners of Indian affairs west,
and which is expressly designated
to be (in) lieu of their location
on Red river and TO carry into
effect the treaty of 1924, in order
to provide a permanent home for
their nation; the United States
agree to convey the same by
patent, to them and their de-
scendants as long as they shall
exist as a nation or continue to
reside thereon, and they also
agree to protect them in their
new residence against all inter-
ruption or disturbance from any
other tribe or nation of Indians
or from any other persons what
ever"
The Quapaw Indians, there
fore, hold in fee as a/tribe this
tract of land, which was author
ICED, as much as a farm which
any white man might have pur-
chased and owns; therefore this
being a fact, the chiefs and war
riors, and bright men of the
tribe, assembled the Quapaw In
dams in National Council, ex-
planning to them the facts, as
per the records of the Interior
Department Of the United States
government, showing that the
fee to this land was invested in
the tribe as a whole and there
fore as a tribe they had a right
to make whatever disposal they
saw fit to the best interests of
each and every member of the
tribe. Through the untiring eff
forts of A. w. Abrams, and his
associates these facts were made
known to the tribe in detail;
authority was issued to the men
who were promulgating- this
campaign for the allotment to
have the land surveyed; to have
the lands allotted; to have maps
and descriptions Of the allOtments
compiled; and when this inform-
alton was finally completed, all
members of the tribe were noti-
fed to assemble in National
Council on March ., 1893. and
they did assemble and held .

to vent jurisdiction in the court of

concerning the lease If someO i6sgy

Alexander was disarmed By citi-
zens who were witnesses to the shot,
but afterwards left the vicinity. The
last word that was received he had
not been arrested. The gun used
was a A Colts and on account of
the closeness Of the two men when
the shooting occurred, it caused an
ugly wound.
