The past week has probably
witnessed as many good sales
and as much improvement as at
any time in the history of the
camp. One of the features OF
the camp is large bodies of ore
demanding larger machinery and
larger mills for the profitable OPP
Grafton of the same. The class
of people now coming in is oil
the most substantial kind. Fol-
lowing on the heels of the pur-
chase of large interests by West
ern parties, several sales have
been made to parties from other
sections who contemplate OPEN
ing up several large PROPOSE
tions. Chicago parties have been
here and made some purchases,
and are in the market for more.
1t is not known just who they
represent, or whether they just
represent themselves, but the
character of their purchases and
the manner in which they are en-.
tering the field, indicates that
they mean business on a much
larger scale than has been under
taken by operators in the past
Parties representing large CAPT
tai from the iron and copper sec
tions are here looking over the
field, but nothing is known OF
their intentions as to what they
will do. One of the Chicago
parties made the statement thai
they had looked over the South
western fields and were better
pleased with this field than any
thing they had seen, and pre-
dicted that an early date a large
amount of capital will find it
way into the Baxter Springs
camp. The real facts are tina

The Mining Exchange.

We are glad that so many oil
our business men are joining the
mining exchange. Every man
who has the welfare OF the min
ing camp and the city at heart is
invited to become a member, and
every man who feels that way
should accept the invitation at
once. Every business man in
the city should belong to the ex-
change. A large membership
will promote a better feeling be-
tween the operators and the busi-
ness interests-and that is what
is needed. What is good for the
mining camp is good for Baxter
Springs. We hope all of our
business men will join at once.
Give your name to Mr.. French,
secretary, or to any operator.

PROJECTS or THE RAIL.
WAYS.
Plan Trip 10 Piffsburg via
Baxter Springs, Column
80 bus and Weir City.

The Joplin Globes Galena re-
porter says that to Pittsburg,
through Baxter Springs, Column
bus and Weir City, by way of
electric railway, is a possibility
for Galena people in the course
of few months, should the pres
ent plans of the Fitch and South
west Missouri companies be car
ried out.
When the Fitch road was COM
menced at Pittsburg, building
southwark, the southwest Mis-
souri, Electric railway promised
the Fitch promoters that they
would extend their Galena branch
road from Galena to Columbus by
the way of Baxter Springs.
A short time ago it was given
out that this plan had been given
up by the Southwest Missouri
line, and that connection with
Pittsburg will be made by ex-
tending the line from Joplin
through Carl Junction and thence
to Columbus. 1t is claimed now
that the original plan is to be
given consideration, which will
be gratefully received by Galena
and Baxter Springs people.
1t is said that when the Fitch
road is completed to Columbus
that work on the extension of the
line will stop there for this year,
and that next year the road will
be extended to Baxter Springs
and the mines south of that place.
When the road reacees Baxter
Springs it is thought that the
Southwest Missouri company will
then make its extension. Opti-
mists believe that prior to that
time the people of Cherokee coun-
ty will be enjoying an electric
service between Galenaa md Col

% THE MINING EXCHANGE.

The meeting of the mining ex-
change held last Tuesday even
ing was quite largely attended,
and we noticed that several of
the business men turned out. Sew
eral matters relating to the well
fare of the city and the camp
came up for discussion, and we
believe much good resulted.
The various committees were
appointed to take up different
lines of work.
The question of improving the
road to the camp came up, and
Judging from the expression OF
some of the operators they seem
to think if the road is improved
| it will have to be done largely by
the people of this city. The OPP
orators feel that as they are de-
veloping the camp, and have
doubled the business of the city
that the business men of the town
should bear the greater part oil
the expense in making a good
road to the camp. And the OPP
orators are perhaps right. But
they say they will aid the bust
ness interests of the town in the
Improvement of the road.
The road matter is to be taken
up right away, and We trust that
all parties called on will respond
literally.
Some nice talks were made by
