Now that the library building
is completed, the books bought
and on the shelves, and the
grounds in comparative order, 1t
is fitting that such an event as
the formal turning of the library
over TO the city should be made
an occasion of general rejoicing.
Few things can come to any
community so valuable as pub
lie library. And no other thing
touching the life of a community
is so often neglected, because a
library does not come within the
scope of the daily activities OF
all. Strange as il may seem,
a library is often monopolized by
the few and unknown to the
many.
In opening Baxter's library to
the public-it should be made an
event in the history of this al
ready historic town. A big re-
ception should be held down
stairs and on the lawn, and a
program of short speeches and
music should be rendered in the
lecture room up stairs. Some
one who knows the facts, should
tell of the evolution of the libra
~ from :he old court house. Let
ano her tell of the good to the
individual the books may be,
both as a means of affording
amusement and acquiring knowl-
edge, and let others tell of their
longing for books when but few
were to be had.
That all may feel a closer in
terest in the library, it is sug-
sested that each person attend
ing the reception at the opening
of the library bring a book to
donate to the institution. This
does not mean a new book, or
only one, but some book that is
worth reading, or a set of books,
OF a set of magazines, or a years
subscription to some magazine.
The reading room should be
made attractive, and our citizens
should not be backward in giving
assistance to make it so. The
men about the hotels who. are
connected with the mines will
find in the new library delight
full place to pro6tably spend a
part of their spare time reading
in its coy corners.
This should mean something
to every person living in Baxter
Springs. and move that united
effort be made to hold a grand
reception at the building when
the library is turned over to the
city. MISS HARRISON.

What is known as the Tony
Robinson shaft, which lies mid.
way between the Good Luck and
Lancaster mines, has opened up
a good body of lead and jack
with some silicate.
We understand the Old Abe,
which has been shut down for
some time while repairs have
been made, will soon resume OPP
erations. We hope so. The Old
Abe is a good property and
should be making ore every day.
The Kramer-Morse mine has
cut through from its upper drift
to its lower drift, and in SO doing
has opened up an immense body
of jack and lead. Mr.. Kramer
anticipates making from eight to
ten tons per day this week.
The mill of the New State
mine just across the road from
the "Old Chief" is being rushed,
and at the same time the ground
development is going forward, as
this company knows top develop
ment does not pay unless the
ground produces the ore.
The United Iron Works of
Springfield, Mo-, have secured
tine contract to erect the Lancas-
ter concentrating mill. This mine
is showing nearly 500 feet of I'M
derground development, and judg-
ing from its ore dump, it is bound
to make good when it can market
its ores.

With the destruction of the
old dam on Spring river at this
place, there comes a sadness over
the disciples of Isaac Walton.
Time was when the" Baxter dam
was the best place to fish in this
whole country. Many and many
a fine fish has been caught there,
and many and many a lie has
been told about the fishing.
Capt. Price and Capt. Eastman,
two of the most inveterate fish
ermen in the world, went down
to the dam a few days ago when
they heard it was to be torn out,
and determined to catch certain
big fish which has caused a great
deal of trouble to the local fish
ermen. That big fish has been
hooked time and time again, but
each time he managed to get
away. generally breaking the
hook or the line. The two cap
tains decided to try once more,
and they were successful. Tri-
umphantly they pulled the 81
pound fish out of the water, and
carried him up to Prices, where
they intended to clean him and
iivide. But they reckoned with
out their host. When they got
he fish cleaned and started to|
;ut him up, they discovered he
vas so full of old iron hooks that
ne was worthless for eating, sol
hey sold him to a Galena junk |
,uyer for old iron. But such
Kings win not happen at the
Baxter dam again.

Joplin, Mo-, U. S. A.-Dolly
Dingle, aged n, single, rather
pretty, owns forty acres of land
in the very heart of the Joplin
lead and zinc district, but she re-
fuses to mine her land or let any
one else mine it. The tract is
surrounded by good mines. some
having mined up to her line, pro-
ducing thousands of dollars in ore
monthly for their owners, but
Miss Dingle says the Almighty
did not place the ore there to be
taken out and sold. Hundreds OF
miners have attempted to lease
the land for mining purposes, but
the comedy owner says it will
never be mined so long as she
owns it.

The uIuES.

The turn-in from the mining
camp last week was very satisfac-
tory, and bids fair to be very
large from now on. New strikes
are being made every day, and
some of them are very big and
rich ones, too.
