added as soon as the ground Is
sufficiently opened up to admit OF
its being run continuously. Mr..
Brooks knows that running the
mill night and day is the only
way to make money on so large
an investment as is involved in
the 3F. The Little Four, another
properly belonging to this compa-
ny, struck its first ore at 90 feet
and is still in it at SO feet, with
fair indications of having opened
up a big body of ore. On the
Tom Crawfish land two strikes
were made, which in the Judge
ment of the driller, J. M. Rice,
will average 10 per cent, of
which 6 per cent is jack and 4
per cent lead. From the S2-foot
level to the 101-foot level ore was
found in these proportions, and
from 1876 to 345 a second run of
ore was encountered, and at this
time the drill is in sand spar at
492 feet, a formation in which ore
| is found. This same driller put
down two drill holes on the John
Quapaw land, on which the town
of Quapaw is located, showing
10 feet of ore so good that he il
willing to stake his reputation al
a driller, that it will prove to bt
the richest 200-acre tract in thu
district.
The Sunburst Mining company
with 200 acres of leases, is push
ling its development of the 10-acr'
tract lying west of the Indiana
which is just completing a 100

which has a 200-ton mill and tn

Turn-in was Not Large Last
Week, Producers Hold
ina Orc for Higher
Prices. 9.

The turn-in from the Baxter
Springs camp last week was not
large, the producers holding their
output for higher prices. The
Newlands Mining Company made
its initial turn-in, and will be a
steady producer from now on.
Amounts of ore loaded out last
week were as follows:

Value: Zinc, $I,oI5.

Quapaw 2OO-acre tract, on which
the town of Quapaw is located,
and on which the two rich strikes
| of ore were made last week, by
driller J. M. Rice, who states
that this is the richest ground yet
proven in this district. Just how
the company will procede to de-
velop this land is not stated, but
it is a significant fact that II
should take up the development
of such a fine piece of grount
when they now have the bigges
mine in the camp. This lant
lies along both sides of the Frisco
track, giving the best of ship
ping facilities, which shows wis
dom on the part of the Mission
people.

M'CA!N RETURNED
The Supposed Absconder Shows UT
at Muskogee.

Muskogee, Oct, 17-Judge VIM. r.
Lawrence yesterday, at the request Of
Assistant Creek Attorney Merritt
Eslick, issued citation against Far
rar Mccain requiring him to appear
within five days and show reasons for
not paying a sum OF 1900, more or
less to Sam Manuel, guardian for Stel-
la Manuel. The Manuels are Creek
negroes and Eslick acts for the Creek
attorney In the matter. The money
involved is the sum which Mccain is
charged with having failed to turn
over tC the proper parties and whichit
was generally charged, he was short.
Misinformation led the Times Dem
ocrat into an error in saying in its
edition of October 18th that Farrar
Mccain, well known local attorney,
had supposedly fed to parts unknown
as the result of monetary entangle-
ment in connection with certain bo-
nus money, amounting to 81, 600 which
had been turned over to him for a
client.
Mr.. Mccain, instead of leaving the
country, went to his former home at
Little Rock, Ark, and it is stated by
his law partner that the money in
question has been paid over to Sam
Manuel, the father and guardian OF
Stella Manuel, minor Creek negress,
whose allotment in the Morris oil
field was leased to the Independent
OIL company.

mo is the real big attraction at the

question the stranger asks when he
enters the grounds is: "Where is

not satisfied until they have seen The
chief. Geronimo is selling his photo

Fifteen cents for a picture without
an autograph, quarter for picture

eight wives who is with him sits
around and takes the money and rat
ties It in her hands. He does not
speak English beyond saying: "How,"
or Picture, quarter" The rest is
In Spanish. He is as taciturn as the

in Spanish his face light
ems up and he will talk for a few min

and all effort at conversation is a dist
NAL failure.
Geronimo does not enjoy being con-
spicuous. He shrinks from curious
questions which are aimed at him
even though he does not understand
Of what is said to him. But
he knows the value of money. He
will not deliver : photograph till he

he looks at both sides Of lthe coin to
see that it is good.
