rise Dramatic Entertainment Was
Given BY Pupils Of villa Maria
Academy st Opera House.

A brilliant and beautiful dramat-
ic entertainment was given at the
opera house last night by pupils
OF Villa Maria Ursuline Academy,
who presented "Hiawatha' in
three acts arranged from Long
fellows "Song Of Hiawatha.' A
more beautiful amateur. entertain
ment has rarely been seen any
where than these afforded. With
scenic effects of forest. mountain
and stream. with the wigwam,
and with the young ladies partici-
pating in Indian costumes, the
beautiful Indian romance was made
very effective aud pleasing. The
scenes were interluded with music
al numbers and tableaux, colored
lights being employed.
The enchantment OF the play
served to excite poetic fancies and
formed a bailliant setting for the
very artistic musical program and
tableaux effects. That the pupils
of Villa Maria Academy are given
the most competent instruction has
been abundantly attested by their
entertainments in the past, and
the event Of last night probably
exceeded in merit and favor any
previous one. The entertainment
was given as a new hall fund ben
eft and a nice sum was realized.

When ministers exchange they

carefully to see II the local points

A Somerville preacher many years
ago went to Andover to preach and
neglected this simple precaution. In
his discourse was an allusion to the
insane asylum at Somerville. and for
getting for the moment that he was

The Baxter Mining Exchange
held its regular meeting on Tues
day evening and though the at
tendance was not as large as ex-
pected, a goodly number was
present.
The committee on electric line
reported that everything was
most favorable for the building
of the line soon.
A report of first quarters work
accomplished BY the Exchange
was read.
Mr.. Mccarthy, as chairman Of
the committee on getting better
prices for our ores, suggested
that the committee believed that
il some one man sold all the ore,
this man, with twenty cars of ore
for sale, would be in a position
to demand better prices, than the
man with one car, who has no
way of knowing what his ore is
worth.
Dan Dugan of the Joplin Globe
was introduced to the Exchange.
He said "your camp is attracting
more attention than all the other
camps of the district, and you
are receiving more attention than
any other camp; no other camp
has an organized body of work
ers," and he considered We were
on the right road to success. 1t
is the opinion of such men as Mr..
Gatz of the CRANKY Mining Co.,
that there will be no loss in the
demand for zinc as they must
have it. Mr.. Dugan said: You
have a camp to be proud of, and
though this is only my second
visit to Baxter Springs in eight
years, / can see great improve
ment." When an investor is COM
| ing to the district he will certain
ly want to visit a camp so alive
as the Baxter Springs mining
camp" Mr.. Watt, also of the
Globe, presented the subject of
the annual edition to be publish
ed about Feb. l. Baxter Springs
will be represented in an SPACE
section of the edition.
Mr.. Rucker reported that work
on the roads had begun again.

was produced in the camp ore
! valued at $40, 40S, while the
total value of 1905 was Sl32, $50.
At the beginning of 1906 there
were seven mills in operation or
in the course of construction,
while at the close of the year
there were q mills in operation
or in course OF construction, and
contracts let for three additional
ones, work having already begun
on one of the three contracted
for.
There are three essentials nee
essary to the success of the Bax-
ter Springs Mining Exchange;
these are: 1st, the cooperation
of every business man of Baxter
Springs and of every operator in
the Baxter Springs mining camp;
End, that every operator in the
mining camp be prompt in fur
nishing accurate information to
the Exchange when asked for;
3rd, that every member of the
Exchange pay dues promptly and
actively cooperate with the
management in securing new
names for membership in the
Exchange.
Some of the operators in the
camp show reluctance to fur
nishing the desired information;
however, ] feel that if they only
realized the Importance OF meet
| ling the wishes of the manage
ment of the Exchange in furnish
Il
ling sworn statements and a COM
plete report of their drill holes,
of every shaft sunk, and OF the
cost of all development on their
property, they would realize that
Investors would more readily
come into the camp where every
thing was an open book, they
would not hesitate in the future
to do SO.
The National American Con-
gress which recently met in Dem
yer have made 4 start in the
direction of furnishing investors
with a report on mining proper
ties throughout the United
Estates. This was found neces-
sary to more fully establish the
confidence of the investing public.
The Mexican government have
already taken steps in this direc-
| ton and find that their efforts
are already meeting with very
great results. South Africa sew
eral years ago realizing that the
money to develop their country
must come from foreign countries
established what was known as
the South-African Mining Ex-
change. This Exchange adopted
a system of sworn statements
from all operators as to cost OF
| Improvements, ore found, amount
of ore produced, giving regular
monthly, quarterly, and annual
reports that the public might be
kept advised as to the progress
of the various mining camps in
South Africa. This work was
supplemented by the employment
of mining experts of national
reputation whose opinion relative
to any mining property was
available to the investing public
and in this way wildcat specula-
tions were eliminated and the
confidence of the investing pub
| lie all over the world was estab-
lished and in a very short time
over a billion of money was at
tracted to South-African mining
camp and effort of the South
African Exchange were success.
The Baxter Springs mining
camp is yet in its infancy, and If
caution is exercised at this time
the confidence of the investing
public will be thoroughly estab-
lished and much permanent good

showing up a formation very
similar to that of the Merritt
Newlands property, which is
known as the Newlands Mine.
The drill tests on the Mckinley
show 81 feet of ore. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is again on duty at the
mine after two weeks with his
family in Kansas City.
A movement which promises to
revolutionize mining in the South
eastern Kansas zinc and lead dis
trict has been commenced by a
number of Michigan capitalists
who are extensively interested in
copper mining in the Lake Su-
perior district. On their lease
near Galena they have commenc-
ed sinking an incline shaft 10X12
feet in the clear and will sink il
to depth of $50 feet to open up
an extensive run of zinc ore at
the 250-foot level. Besides being
the only incline shaft in the Kan
sas district il will be the deepest
mining operations have ever been
conducted here. The drill pros
pect work done on the lease
shows the lower run of ore to be
of larger proportions and of
higher grade than the upper
runs, on which work has been in
progress the last thirty days.
John Merritt has just received
the return of the first assay ever
made on the property which has
gone by the name of the Merritt
mine, but which in the future is
to be known as the Newland Min
ing Co. The assay values shown
are 65.5 per cent of zinc blend,
the best assay ever made in this
camp up to date. The assay was
made by w. W. Petraus of Jop-
lin. The construction of the new
2O0-ton mill on the Newlands
property has already commenced
and il is expected that the mill
will be in operation by the 18th
of March. w. c. Dills has the
contract for building the mill,
and he says that it will be one OF
the best, if not the very best in
this camp of large and fine mills.
Ore was encountered in the New
lands at depth of 1OS feet and
has a 30-foot face of lead and
jack. This property has already
been shown to be one of the most
promising in the southwestern
field.
One OF the most important
deals that has been made in the
Baxter Springs mining camp for
some time past was the sale of
the Diamond C Nine" which
adjoins the Monon, to prominent
capitalists and oil men of Kansas
and Indian Territory, including
H. V. Rice, of this city, who will
have charge of the further de-
velopment and operations of the
property. This sale was made
by M. c. French, secretary Bax-
ter Mining Exchange, and who
had an option on the property
from the Diamond c Mining
Company" composed of w. J.
Mack, Chas. E. Beck, and p. J.
Wagner, of Pittsburg, Kan,
Arch Jones, of Columbus, Kan,
Leon Marx, of Kansas City, and
Theo. Hudson,o of Baxter Springs.
The consideration of the sale was
$45, 900. The Diamond C" has
been considered one of the best
properties in the Baxter Springs
camp. and its sale to Mr.. Rice
and associates is regarded as a
very important transfer, as the
new owners of the property have
placed $4,000 in the treasury of
their company for the further
development and equipment of
the property. Plans have already
been made for the erection of a
mill very similar to that of the
