THE BIO REUNION.
Work Of Preparation Now
Going 0n-Ths Meeting
This Year VIII be n Rec
ord Breaker.

Do you realize that this years
reunion will be the twenty-sixth!
Well, it will, and it will break
all previous records in every way
The work of preparation for this
years doings is already well un'
der way. The grounds are being
put in first class condition. The
water system has been improved
| and this week a system OF sani'
tary closets is being built. The
closets will be connected with q
sewer, which will carry off all OBJ.
jectional matter. This work is
| going to cost considerable money,
but the countless thousands who
come to the Big Baxter Reunions
are entitled to all the comforts
possible.
The amusements this year will
be of a character calculated to
please, entertain and instruct.
The orators, who will address the
big meetings in the auditorium,
will be the very best that can be
secured. .
More people than ever will
camp during the week of reunion,
and they will have a big time.
In fact, the way to really enjoy
the reunion is to camp out. Then,
when tired out running around
viewing the sights and attending
the various exercises, you have a
place to 60 for a rest. Then,
again, this thing of sleeping out
in a tent is the finest thing in the
world. 1t is not only very health
full, but it is really refreshing.
The big pictorial paper, which
will go up on the billboards all
over the country, has been order
ed from Hartford, Conn.,, and
will be here in a few days. The
railroads will make unusually low
rates, and the Big Reunion OF
1907 will 60 down in history as
the biggest and best ever held.
Come and bring the children.
STAY all week.

A GOOD PROPERTY.

We understand the M. K. & Il.
mine netted its owners something
more than two thousand dollars
during the month of June. Con-
sidering the fact that a great
deal of new machinery was
bought and paid for during the
month, we claim the record is a
good one for a new camp.
The dirt taken from the M. K.
& T. mine is not OF pockety ma
ture, but on the contrary is OF a
hard disseminated nature. 1t has
no rich pockets, and is of sheet
formation, running from four to
seven per cent ore. Mr.. Don Nc
Ruer, the superintendent is in di-
rect charge of the property, and
keeps a close tab on everything.
Management is needed in the con-
duct of a mine the same as in any
other line of business. Jim
Young, one of the very best jig
men in the country, runs the jigs.
The old Settlers reunion at
Columbus will be held at the usu-
al time, the first week in August.
After that comes the real big af-
fair, the Big Baxter Reunion,
August 26 to 81.

The Eastman is undergoing
some needed repairs preparatory
to running again.
There is much aggressive work
going OIL in the camp, and more
is in contemplation.
The Sweeney's have the Meal
lister mill ready to start, having
had il overhauled and improved
by Foust Bros.
The Sunburst is still sinking
on its ore at 80 feet, and will sink
till the bottom is found before
drifting on it.
The Kramer-Morse on the BaX.
ter Royalty ground is in some
excellent lead, in its air drift,
and looks favorable for an i'm
mense body of ore.
Some fine samples of rich ore
were brought to this office from
the Sunburst today. This mine
is showing up better with each
days work. The drifts run are in
fine ore.
H. A. Stockmar, drilling on
Baxter Royalty property north of
the Myrtle (Monon) and Quivira
is getting some good shines, and
of course will get good ore as it
surrounds his land.
T. J. Foley OF the Mission
went home to North Platte, Neb.,
to spend the Fourth with his fam
ily. The mine will continue to
run under the supervision of the
ground man, Tom Kicks.
All holidays seem to interfere
with the routine of regular work,
and the celebration of July 4 has
proven no exception; besides, it
took the rest of the week to re-
cover from the real jollification.
The Joanna is making about g.
tons of ore per day, and every
thing points to the fact that this
mine is to be one Of the big mines
of this camp, as the lead and sill
icate gets richer and better as the
stope is taken up.
Oils Bros, of Springfield, Mo-,
are getting some good stuff in the
shaft they are sinking on the land
that corners with the Mission on
the southwest. These gentlemen
have 60-acres south Of the forty
west of the Mission, on which
they put down several drill holes
getting as much as D feet of ore
in some of them.
There is a new find of rich lead
that seems to be running from
north to south beginning in the
Sunburst, Good Luck's second
shaft, the Three Queens, Lancas-
ter, Newlands, and on to the Jo-
anna, and opened by several drill
holes in between these properties,
but of one thing sure, it is only
another ratification that mining
in this camp means wealth to the
persistent miner.
The big drop in the price of
lead came as a surprise to the
producer, as the price of pig lead

The proposition of ]. B. Opper-
man relating to the old fire de-
partment headquarters was on
motion accepted.
The board of health was asked
to make a report to the council on
the matter of rank growths of
vegetation. (This means that if
the board should condemn the
weeds the property owner must
cut them. or the city will do it
for him and tax the cost against
the property. This is in accord
ance with the state law.)

instructed to repair the Military

dency in the camp is to hold the
ore in the bins, hoping for an
early rise in the price, though il
may not come for several weeks.
The new mill at the Mason,
one of the most complete in the
camp, is being started at this
writing.
The McCallister mill is being
started this week, and il is be-
lieved il will pay from the start,
as the dirt is very rich.
The Joanna, named for the two
daughters of r. w. Bailey, Miss
Josephine and Miss Anna, is turn
ing in some fine lead and silicate.
This and the Kramer-Morse, both
on Baxter Royalty ground, are
showing up immense bodies OF
rich ore.
The Mission is now running on
its new mill twenty-five hours,
and turning out from five to seven
thousand pounds per shift. This
company has about 30, 900 pounds
of lead in its bins which it is
holding for the present and will
hold until the price becomes
fixed.
E. G. Lawley formerly connect
ed with the Myrtle, has sold his
interests to his cousins, ]. w. and
G. w. Cooke, and will devote his
time hereafter to the development
of the Alabama, now sinking a
shaft on the Catholic forty. Mr..
Lawley leaves today for Mexico,
but will soon return to stay in the
camp.
The Casso Zinc Co., is pushing
its drifts on a fine body of ore,
and the Virginia Zinc Co., under
the supervision of B. E. Gridley
is showing up some fine ore. This
shaft is one of the best pieces of
work in the camp. Though these
two properties are farthest to the
west of any in the field, they do
not represent the most distant
western development as ore has
been found in Quapaw, and at
Miami, nearly five miles farther
west.
The Cherokee Lead and Zinc
Mining company has sold half
interest in its mine and forty-ton
mill to E. F. Sweeney, who owns
the first lease on this property.
This property is one of the best
diggings in the camp, Scott &
West who have just sold their
interest being the original own
ers, took out $1,000 worth of sill
licate and lead, within nine feet
of the surface, and later put down
the shaft now on the ground, and
took out lead, and just as they
stopped for want of money to go
on they had-struck a body of jack.

Oscar Mcdowell of the Column
bus Enterprise is the hardest fell
low to please we have ever seen.
About three weeks ago he wanted
to know what sort of a reunion
was going to be held at Baxter
Springs this year, and we hasen-
ed to assure him that it will be
so nice and clean that a white
glove rubbed over it would not
be soiled. Now, he comes back
and says that is not what the
people would expect; that every
body knows. that the reunion
could not be as clean as that on
account of the cosmopolitan
crowd which assemblies here.
Now. We told him it would be
clean and he objects. Iu other.
words he intimates that the peo-'
pie. as well as himself, do not
want it that way.

The survey, which is being
made in this city, is causing some
folks great deal of worry, but
it should not. No changes from
the original survey are being
made. The present survey is
merely a relocation of the orig
inal lines of the original plat and
the various additions, as they
were recorded in the first place.
1t is impossible to order any inn
provements made without first
knowing exactly where the lines
are, and besides, the doubt as to
Just where the correct lines are
has kept a great many people
from making improvements.
They have not felt like making
improvements for the very reason
that they have been afraid they
would go wrong and have to do

no cause for uneasiness. Nopiece
of property will be cut down in
area, but the lines viii merely be
relocated. When the street cor
ners are established, and the
width Of the street is known it
win be no trouble for the prop
