Broken Foot Board Causes Fall.

II started ahead for the engine and
was on top of high carriage car near
the front end. The foot board was
either broken or splintered, and am
not sure whether caught my foot or
stepped on splinter which rolled with
me. AS fell, grabbed hold of the
car in front of me, just below the foot
board. but the clumsy mittens l were
slipped, and 1 lost my grip. AS 1 fell
on down. I threw myself out as far as
possible, expecting to fall clear of the
train and light on my feet. However,
my knee struck the brake rod and
twisted me so that fell full length
across the rail of nearby track. The
rear brakeman saw me lying there and
signalled to stop the train

Once in awhile Arkansas gets
one on Kansas in return for our
many jokes in the former state.
An Arkansan who had heard
much about our blind tigers"
and Joints came up to Kansas a
few days ago, told the following
on his hasty return home. He
said when up in Kansas he went
into a Joint and b f,re orderinga
drink he watched how they did
it. A man came in, ordered .
drink of whiskey. The barkeeper
set out a glass of the stuff, and
laid a little broom beside 1t. The
victim drank it then took the
broom, went over to the corner OF
the room, swept a clean place
then laid down and had a fit.
This was too much for our Ar
kansas brother. He hiked for
home to tell the gaping crowds
his Kansas experience.

The output last week was very
satisfactory, as is shown by the
figures given below, but not all
of the ore was sold. Every big
bin in the camp is full OF ore.
For some time ii has seemed i'm
possible to get the ore sales from
the Baxter Springs camp into the
tabulated ore sales of the dis
trict, but the Baxter Mining Ex-
change has taken hold OF the
matter and the sellers now report
to the exchange the amount OF
ore they sell. 1t is hoped this
will work all right. The parties
who get up the tabulated report
are either too lazy to call up the
ore buyers and find out who has
sold ore, or else there is some
other motive. We trust that here
after the ore sales of the Baxter
camp will be tabulated iii the dis
trict sales as they should be.
The Baxter Springs Mining
camp is improving, and very fast.
A new spirit has taken possession
of the operators. The hard
bumps seem to have been gotten
over. Labor conditions have inn
proved. 1t is not near as hard to
get men as it was one year ago;
it is not so hard to get money to
develop good things. There is
less wild-catting and more of a
disposition to better develop the
better looking strikes in the
camp. There are some who be-
lieve the Baxter Mining Ex-
change and its recent activity
has done much to bring the oper-
ators into closer relation and cor
rect many of the abuses that have
existed. Baxter Springs people
have awakened to what the camp

means to the town and the out
rageously bad roads from the city
to the camp are being regarded
and rebuilt and it is being done
mostly by Baxter Springs money,
subscribed by business men OF
Baxter Springs. 1t looks now as
if the town would need better
hotel accommodations. The ho-
tel men are waking up to this
fact and are getting busy. New
mills are being contracted for,
new strikes are being made which
eclipse anything ever made be-
fore, and the mining camp forg-
ing ahead. The sleepy ones are
waking up and are not satisfied
with well-enough, but want to do
more. Several movements are on
foot for better railroad service to
the mines and for the city. The
daily press of the adjoining states
and the mining papers through
out the United States are sitting
up and taking notice of us. The
reason of it all is the mining
camp is making good.
THE sUNBURST STRIKE.
One of the richest strikes made
in the Baxter Springs mining
camp south of this city sor some
time past was that made by the
Sunburst Mining Co., operating
on one of their properties lust
east of the Sunnyside and north
of the Hobo. The Sunburst Co.,
have three shafts in ore, with a
large amount of drifting done,
and this strike was made in the
No. 3 shaft and apparently in the
Hobo run of ore, which has al
WAYS been considered one of the
very best in the Quapaw Reserva-
ton. The farther this run OF
ore is developed the richer it is
showing.
The Sunburst Mining Co., also
have made a very important deal
the past week, by purchasing
from the Great Northern Mining
Company $50 acres of leases one
mile east of the Joanna, less than
! one mile southeast of the new

rich strike made by the Irish
Maid, and about two miles west
of Monkey Hill, where the most
famous lead strike was made ever
encountered anywhere in the
southwest. The Monkey Hill
strike showed as much ms 28
inches of solid lead Of the very
highest grade. The Great North
ern, which is one Of the largest
holders of the best leases in this
camp, made this sale the past
week.
The purchase of this large
tract of land by the Sunburst
crowd means important develop
ments in that section in addition
to those already made, and fol-
lowing on the heels OF the rich
lead strike made on the Charley
Bluejacket land to the north of
the tract and its purchase by a
syndicate of Minnesota iron men,
will cause an unusual amount OF
activity in that Part of the camp.
The Sunburst Mining Co., will
also start drifting in their No. l
shaft on the tract east of the
Sunnyside to encounter the rich
strike made to the north of it in
the Isley mine. The Isley has
encountered ore which will I'M
doubtedly will all the way from
IS Percent to 80 Percent. The
strike was made near the north
line of the Sunburst tract.

to justify this move.

The dirt at the Indiana mine
is getting better every day.
Every tub full is being saved,
and a trial run will be made at

The Old Abe Mining Company
were shut down for the week
putting in a Whitley table and
making extensive repairs to their
mill. An extension on their tall
ing elevator is being built.
The Mckinley mine now has
its two lO0-horse power boilers
installed and has started the
work of sinking. This mine
shows one of the largest bodies
of ore in the camp and very rich.
The Pasture mine now have
their new 6-inch Emerson pump
installed and sinking has been
resumed. Manager Lenox. who
has had large western experience

edge count in the development OF

The Common Law, which has
had so much grief to bear on &C
count of the abundance of water,
is having less to contend with IN
this direction. They are now
drifting and showing up the same
J conditions which show in the
Merritt mine.
The dirt from the Gatlin pros
pect shaft is very rich, and only
the top of the run has been
reached. A drift is being run
out on top of the ore to reach the
drill hole, which will be used fol
air purposes. Then the shaft
will be sunk deeper and stopping

that when the new mill is built
the output will be equal to that

that no property in the Joplin
district has such an acreage OF
ore as has the Mission.

but steam was gotten up on Mon
day of this week, and the ground
will be drained as fast as pOssi-
BILE. This mine is going to make
il owners big lot of money when
it is equipped with the necessary
plant.
The Isley mine is being worked
again, and the dirt being taken
out will run at least fifteen per-
cent clean zinc. The dirt will be
cleaned on the Dark Horse mill.
AT one time it was thought the
ore in this property was OF a
pockety formation, and the own
ers were undecided what to do,
whether to drift or sink. Those
who had the drifting idea won
out, and after drifting about five
feet in the old workings a very
big body of rich ore encountered.
The ore laid behind a soapstone
bar, and was easily reached. The
ore body has widened out until
il is now no trouble at all to keep
the shovel gang busy. The ore
BODY is about twelve feet in
thickness and as the drift, with
ore still in the sides. A cross
drift will be run both ways soon
to determine the width of the
run.
