soon as the ground Is openeu W
sufficiently to keep the mill going
this mine will be in the list oi
steady producers.
H. V. Rice, manager, has par
ties here preparing plans for q
new modern 200-ton concentrate
ing plant for the Mason Mining
Company, purchasers of the Dia'
mond C. This mill is to be one
of the best that can be built
Harry w. Bishop, one of the
most capable mining men in the
is superintendent of the
mine.
Hank Rice, who is managing
the Diamond C mine for the
Mason Mining Company, which
recently purchased it, told us last
Friday night that work in the
ground is being pushed very fast,
and that the mine will be sunk
deeper right away. He said that
from nineteen cans of dirt taken
out that day there was cleaned
more than two tons of clean zinc
ore.
Mr.. Lenox of the Pasture prop
erty tells us he is having a great
deal of trouble with water in the
of his shaft. The water
is too strong for his present cap
acity, and he will be compelled
to install heavier pumps. The
drilling on this property showed
up very rich ore, and Mr.. Lenox
is trying to get his shaft down
into it. He is just on top of the
ore, and what ore has been taken
out is very high grade.
The Sweeney Mining & Engin-
eering Co., have opened an assay
office at Lincolnville. This COM
pany is composed of Edward F.
Sweeney and his two sons, Will
fred G. and Edward F., Jr., and
their friend, h. r. Heap. Mr..
Heap and Mr.. w. G. Sweeney
are both graduates of the Hough-
ton School of mines and are COM
petent assayers, and every opera
tor in the field will give this
firm the glad hand of welcome
for bringing this much needed
office into the mines. Mr.. Ed.
Sweeney is diamond driller OF
many years experience in the
mines of Arizona and Minnesota.
The Common Law mine on the
Cousatte land is showing up
mighty we'll these days. The
shaft is in open ground, and the
ore body has been penetrated
about twenty-five feet already.
The ore is found in bouldery
and the dirt as it comes
from the shaft is very rich. Mr..
Timothy, the manager of the
mine and part owner of the prop
erty, thinks the dirt will run at
least twenty per cent ore. This
shaft was a hard one to sink on
account of the very heavy water,
but the backbone of the water
seems to be broken now, as a
four-inch pump handles it al
right, while a six and fonr used
to be necessary. The ore is GO
ing to be easily cleaned, as il
comes free from the rock easily.
The Monon Mining company
has its new Worthington pump
seated and are drilling again.
This company will mill the dirt
on the dump of the Mason Min
ing Co. until it can build its own
mill. Mr.. Harry Bishop, superin-
tendent at the Kramer-Morse,
will also be the superintendent at
the Mason Mining Co. Mr.. Bishop
has been in this camp for some
time, having first been with the
White Eagle, and with the Kra-
mer-Morse since then. Mr.. Bish-
op has been in the mines since
I 600 and All of fhis time has

CnerryVale, hdIiSdS' Jdn' " i|V'
To Boards Of Education Of First
and Second Class Cities:
Gentlemen:-We wish to call
your attention to an unjust, in
equitable, and not uniform system
Of taxation to which cities of the
first and second classes are sub
jected, in those counties which
maintain a County High School;
and ask your cooperation in Sc
curing the passage Of a bill by the
incoming legislature, that will
remedy the evil.
Each city must maintain at its
own expense, a High School, be-
cause not more than ten per cent
Of the pupils now enrolled in the
city high school, would be able to
attend a county high school located
in some other part Of the county.
Again if the financial part is moi
considered. they are children oil
immature years, to whom ii would
be a positive and lasting injury to
be sent away from home influences.
Thus if the cities, in those
counties maintaining county high
schools, we're to abandon their own
high schools. fully ninety per cent
Of the children now in high school
would be deprived Of the advan-
tase of such an education. Hence
cities must maintain their high
schools.
II is a well known fact that
cities of the first and second class
contribute practically as much to-
ward the support Of our county
high school as toward the support
Of their own high school. No
other part Of the county is subjected
to this double high school tax.
Most cities are now taxed to
their uttermost TO support schools
and pay a higher rate of taxation
than the average district does.
If the tax, now paid toward the
support Of the county high school,
from which the cities receive prac-
tically no benefit, could be turned
toward the support Of our own
high schools, we could, with the
present taxation, provide much
better school advantage.
A bill will be introduced in the
legislature, providing that cities OF
the first and second classes that
maintain accredited high schools
shall be exempted from the opera
ton Of the high school law. We
ask your support Of this measure,
and request that you take some
action on this subject and report
t; il to the members Of the Legislature.
This is a subject in which every
city is interested, unless it hap
pens to be the seat Of a county
high school; in which case it, OF
course, supports no high school Of
I: its own.

Here is another case of nom
progressiveness: Charlie Has
kett has IS feet of ground in the
burned district, and tells us If he
could get IS feet more he would
put up a big new business house.
But the owners of the ground adj
joining him will not sell, neither
will the parties who own ground
next to his closest neighbors. IT
he could get another rs feet near
by he might be able to make a
trade so as to get so feet togeth-
er, but he can't buy. This is
Just simply another case OF rank
non-progressiveness. How in the
world can the town be expected
to grow, when a man who would
build can't get the ground to
build on7 Baxter Springs has
too many real estate hogs for the
good of the town.

Her interests in the Pacific are heavier
than Japan's. China, of course, would
be in sympathy with this movement.
And SO would be Russia and Germany.

and France would deeply regret their

question to be determined, and when
the Atlantic fleet enters the Pacific 1t
will be settled for all time. Japan will
be shown where she belongs, definite
