A BIG TIME.

Last night the commercial club
had q lot of guests from out OF
town, and although the notice given
was short, very nice spread wac
put before the visitors, and they
we're made to feel that the citizens
of Baxter Springs were glad to zee
them. The banquet was served by
Mr.. aud Mrs. Newton of the Hotel
Baxter and Mr.. james Of the Cobb
hotel of Vinita.
Prior TO the banquet speeches
wers made by lot of people, most
ly those from out of town, because
il was the desire of the citizens to
know how they were impressed
with our advantages, and with one
accord they voiced the opinion OF
others who have been here, that we
have all the natural resources for a
big mining camp and a good town;
they also said in their speeches
that what Baxter Syringe must do
10 to tie the business the outsiders
bring to the mining camp TO the
city: then the healthy growth OF
the city IL assured. Those present
from out of town were az follows:

HELPING THE ROAD PROBLEM.

Bearing Out the theory that the
immediate future of the good road
movement in a large measure de-
ponds upon the use made OF pres
emit available materials and the
adoption of better methods, the
success that is being attained by
the King split log drag is crafty
ing to the NEWS. While il does not
prove that the dragging of the
highways lie q solution of the whole
complex good roads problem. II is
interesting to note that when such
simple means are applied, the con.
ditions as they are found to exist in
most rural communities can be
greatly improved at very small
expense.
In hundreds of communities the
split log drag is practically un'
known. There is no other reason
for this state of affairs than that the
farmer has either not heard of it,
which would be most surprising,
or else he has not made any effort
to investigate the subject.
AZ might be expected the study
of better methods to improve the
roads evolves primarily upon the
district road masters. While it 10
not necessary that they should take
the matter up 1t is quite proper that
they should do so. However, any
farmer who is thoroughly interest
ed in the possibilities of the cords
is not debarred from Introducing
the split log drag If for any reason
his local roadmaster does not feel
inclined to do so.
From work which we have observ.
ed aud reports that have reached
this office, we are fully persuaded
that all that the split log drag
ueeds to insure its popularity lie a
thorough test throughout the sea.
son. As evidenced by the results
which have been secured in Mis-.
souri, and Iowa there seems no rea-
sonable doubt but that the drag.
ging of the roads has accomplish.
ed even more than the most sangu.
inc expected.
Between now and the opening of
next spriug we would like to have
every one Of our readers, interested
in road improvement at practically
no additional cost. investigate the
possibilities of the split log drag.
II will not solve all of the problems
confronting the construction and
maintenance of good roads, but it
lie capable of paying wonderful
part Ia the highway economics. We
are not advising or urging our
readers to invest In expensive road
improvements, but rather are rec.
ommending to their consideration
a crude. homemade, but effective
road maker.

cate, but now they are getting JACK.
The Ward Mining Company, In
the Mission pasture, 10 having
plans made for SO0.ton mill, work
on which will begin just No soon as
the weather settles. The company
has enough ore on top Of the ground
to pay for first ciass mill. One Of
the pecuiiarities of the dirt from
this property 10 the way the dirt
breaks away from the rock. The ore
10 not at all chatty, and Il 10 going
to be easily miiied.
The Spring River Mining Com
pany, Mr.. Blatchley superintendent,
10 getting into fine run of ore In
their shaft on the Angel land. The
ore was struck first ut 8s feet and the
shaft 10 now 90 feet deep and still In
ore. The company has had some
more drilling done, two holes being
put down, and In both of them the
same run of ore as found In the
shaft was encountered. A mill will
probably be built on this property
before long.
The Sunny Side 10 making slow
progress with lite new shaft. but q
pump 10 being installed and the
work will be rushed from now on.
The shaft 10 being sunk on q very
rich drill hole, and when the ore 10
reached Il will be connected by
drift with the mill shaft. Mr.. Dilla.
way, the superintendent, tells us he
will have enough ore in sight when
he gets the two shafts cut together
TO wear out the mill.
The Good Luck Mining Company,
on the I. q o. ground, has gotten to
its ore body, and has shut down to
put in a good pump, and build an
engine and holster house. The drill
hole showed fine lead from 20 to 81
feet, and 80 far the shaft has veri-
fed the drill hole. The Good Luck
company 10 composed mostly OF
Paola men, who have the money
and nerve necessary to fully devel.
op the ground.
Probably one of the richest strikes
yet made in the Baxter camp, 10 the
one made last week by Craney & Co
on the Beaver land in their No. Z
shaft. The ore was found in the
shaft at a depth of ~ feet, and It 10
very rich, being at least half jack
According to the drill hole on which
the shaft is being sunk. there will
be 20 feet of the ore. II has come In
all over the bottom of the shaft. The
ore 10 of high grade, not a bit chat
~, and will be very easily cleaned
II has always been supposed that
the ground in that part of the camp
was too tight to be ore bearing to g
very large extent, but this find, at
well as the one they made in Their
No. i shaft, has disproved tina
theory. Messrs. Craney told the min
ing editor of the NEWS Monday tina
az soon as the ground is thorough
ly opened up first class modern
concentrating plant will be built
The strike of Craney & Co., hat
opened the eyes of the mining mer
regarding that part OF the camp.
