n Good Democratic Daily.

To the people of this commun-
ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. 1t has the strongest
and best Geographic service of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo-
cratic party and readers of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
to get at the true inwardness of
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
licans, who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst SER
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
a strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. \. 1t is reliably Demo
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is $3.50
year by mail. Therefore, all who
want a Democratic daily that has
for its motto:
Here's freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom to him that would write,
will do we'll to subscribe for The
Kansas, Post, Kansas City, Mo.

IFS sale to redeem, there has
been an effort made to change
the law and make the time of re-
demption shorter. The matter
has come up in nearly every leg
islature for the past Is years,
but it regularly gets Knockout
blow. Generally speaking the
people are pretty well satisfied
with the law and really the money
loaners haven't much reason to
complain. If they loan money
on real estate they ought to see
to il that the security is ample
and even if they do have to wait
for 10 months after judgment is
taken before they can get posses
sion they get 6 per cent interest.
In at least one respect the law is
a good thing for the loaner; il
makes him take more account of
the moral risk when he makes a
loan; that is he will be more
careful about the character of the
man he loans to. If the man
who burrows the money is the
right sort, the chances are about
a hundred to one that the mort
gage will never have to be fore
closed. The borrower will either
pay the mortgage or give up the
land to the creditor without put
ting him to the trouble of bring
ing suit. When the bill to amend
the present law came up for con-
sideration in the committee OF
the whole in the house the other
day there was considerable ora
tory wasted pro and con but there
never. was a minute when the
bill had any show to win. And
we guess maybe the majority
was right. Better let the law
lust stand as it is.

A MUSICAL TREAT.

Last Thursday night Mrs. Lou
Cardin, assisted by other mem
bers of Prof. Longs class here,
entertained the Junior class OF
Columbus and about so invited
guests, at her home on North
Military street. The rooms were
arranged so all could be COM
fortably seated. The entertain
ment was out of the ordinary,
consisting entirely of music.
The class from Columbus rang
ed in age from nine to eighteen
years, and it was a novelty to
see and hear those little tots,
whose feet could hardly touch
the pedals, render high grade
music with the skill of persons
with years of experience. The
affair was a treat from beginning
to end, and Prof. Long has just
cause to be proud of his class.
Miss Denny, an instructor in the
faculty, rendered two fine selec-
tons. A nice luncheon was
served

Mining Company is selling stock
so as to build a mill. This, we
believe, is going to be one of the
best properties in the camp. The
dirt is very rich in both lead and
jack, the lead dirt being espe-
cially rich. The jack, which Of
course lies under the lead, is of
high grade. The ground has
been sufficiently prospected with
drifts and drill holes to justify
the expenditures planned.
Chas. S. Hahn and associates
of lola, Kansas, have taken a
lease on ten acres of the Frank
Buck land, recently drilled by
the Sweeney Mining and Engin-
eering Company, which holds
the first lease. The new COM
pany is to be known as THE
Quapaw Reserve Lead and Zinc
Company" capital SIS, 1000. The
officers are A. L. Brambaugh of
the Northrup National Bank of
of lola, president; F. ]. Horton,
capitalist, vice president; Chas.
S. Hahn, secretary; John d.
Remsburg of the Gas City State
Bank, treasurer. These with c.
B. Spencer, postmaster at lola,
A. M. Smith of Kansas City and
J. ]. Wilson, an elevator man of
Moran, constitute the directory.
The company is receiving bids
for machinery and will sink at
once. The drill tests on their
lease show 80 feet of ore, and in
one hole II feet was lead.
Another company of lola men
have a five-acre lease just south
of the Syndicate, known as the
Lucky Strike, while still another
company, known as the Winches-
ter, is south of the Lucky Strike.
limerick & Clifford of lola have
a lease and are working just
north of the Joanna, while the
Means brothers have struck 1t
very rich in the valley to the
northeast of the Winchester and
Lucky Strike. We find that in
all there are about forty lola
men interested in this field. This
is probably the largest represen-
tation from any one locality.
These men realize that to see is
to want to possess.

COUNTY BONDS TO Be
ISSUED.
Bills Have Been Introduced
I'm Legislature 10 Lnorsass
Bonded indebtedness.

Representative S. c. Westcott
of Galena and Senator c. S. Huff
man of Columbus have introduced
bills in the house and senate of
the state Legislature to enable the
county commissioners to increase
the bonded Indebtedness of this
county.
Cherokee county Legislators be-
lieve that the only way to reduce
the heavy payment of interest on
outstanding warrants, which
Cherokee county has out in large
amounts, is to refund the debt by
bonds at a lower rate of interest.
While the present law does not
permit the county commissioners
to remedy the heavy indebtedness
by issuing more bonds. PROPOSE
ton very distastful to the rank
and file of the taxpayers upon
whom the greatest amount of the
burden rests, it provides a rem
edy. it is claimed, that would re-
move the trouble if the commits
sioners would enforce it.
The law provides that all prop
erty, real and personal, shall be
assessed at its actual value. Per-
sonal property, consisting of
notes, bonds, mortgages and bank
deposits, of which a large amount
is at the present time held by
persons, who through the loop
holes in the law evade paying
their just dues, it is claimed.
The Democratic county central
committee in its last session at
Columbus, knowing of the steps
about to be made by the county
representatives in the state legis'
lature, one of whom is bank at
torney and the other a bank di'
rector, took an aggressive stand
in opposition to the proposed
move.

bad, for the simple reason that it
is not so expensive.
The Eastman Company has a
lease on sixty acres of just such
land as is producing this phenom-
enally rich dirt. The entire 60
acres have been drilled, and all
over il has been found the same
rich run of ore. We understand
the company intends to system
atically develop the entire tract.
No mine anywhere in the lead
and zinc district is making a bet
ter or bigger record than the
White Eagle. There are great
many fine mines in the older
camps, but none of them exceed
the White Eagle.
We might mention in passing
that there is a fine group of prop
critics in the White Eagle neigh
borhood. The Indiana, Western
and Ayers-Sloan join it, while
the Omaha, Hobo, Good Luck
and others are close by.
We are proud of White Eagle.

DICK Blue DEAD.

Colonel Richard w. Blue, at
one time a very prominent citizen
of Kansas, died at his home in
Bartlesville, /. r., on Monday OF
this week. Death was the result
of heart disease.
r. w. Blue was at one time
congressman at large from the
state OF Kansas, and was a very
conspicuous figure at the national
capitol He was at one time a
very formidable candidate for the
position of pension commissioner,
but his political enemies decreed
that he should not have the place
and he failed to land.
A short time ago he was APP
pointed assistant attorney gener-
al for Cherokee county, and made
an effort to close the joints of the
county, but made failure of it.
After this failure he moved to
Bartlesville, l. IT,, to practice his
profession, that of a lawyer.
Funeral services were held at
his home, and the remains were
taken to his old home in Lynn
county, Kansas, for interment.

CONCENTRATES.

Robert McCreery, the new man.
ager of the Ayers-Sloan mine,
has taken charge, and expects to
have that property producing
regularly soon.
The ]. c. L. mill is running
steadily and producing a high
grade ore. This is going to be
one of the big producers of the
Baxter camp.
The Common Law mine on the
Gaines G. Thomas lease of the
Cousatte land is showing up very
rich dirt now. The ground is of
open formation.
The M. X. & T. is producing
very regularly. The dirt is get
ting better right along, and OF
course the profits are growing.
A great deal of new development
work is in contemplation.
The Monon is being worked
again and the dirt from it is very
rich. The shaft is being sunk
deeper, and as the sinking pro-
crosses the dirt increases in rich
ness. The mine is now furnish
ing dirt enough to run the mill
four days in the week. The

other two days the mill runs the
dirt of the Mason Mining Co.
The Western Mining Company
is making quite a lot of ore now.
We understand the ore is getting
richer as drifting progresses.
The new manager, Robert Nc.
Creery, is going to keep things
moving.
The Spring River Mining Co.'S
new mill will be ready to start
up in a few days. 1t was ex.
pected to have it ready to start
by the Goth, but delays have
been experienced in receiving ma.
terials, and work has been re.
tarded.
The Mission has erected a der
rick and is installing a steam
holster on its No. 3 shaft. This
is the shaft where such phenom-
enally rich dirt was found. This
shaft is to be sunk on through
the ore, and then stopping opera
tions on a big scale will be COM
menced. The dirt from this
shaft is pronounced by expert
enced mining men to be as good
as any ever found in any lead and
zinc mine.

The Baxter Springs Mining
camp has broken a great many
records in the last two years, but
it has remained for one of the
new mines to break all records in
the way of production and out
put. The White Eagle mine on
the Eastman Land and Invest
ment Company's lease of the
Abrams land is making a record
which is the envy of all who
know about it, and it is making
others strive to get something
going that will equal it.
The mine is producing dirt
the equal of which is hard to
find. The dirt is taken from a
semi-hard formation and is very
easily cleaned, being not at all
.chatty. The mill is a good one,
of course. The regular daily
output is now from Is to IS tons
of clean zinc ore, valued at more
than $50 per ton, or from $3.50 to
5000 per day. Think of it! 1t
beats gold mining! 1t beats it
