FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES


w reau, which now administers
more acres of land than any other
institution in the world and is the
landlord branch of the Federal Gov
ernment, has Just compiled its report
covering statistics of grazing on the
public lands of the great West The
figures will give some idea OF the scale
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business. and are very comfort
ing because OF their very size. for If
the existing policy is unmolested the
embraced in reserves will for all time
be administered in the interest of the
entire people.
There are now more than 6,000,-
600 acres of land in the national for
ests. Grazing is permitted, but under
strict regulations, made in order that
the grass may not be destroyed by
overfeeding. This. by the way, is
what has caused most of the friction
in the West Owners of fiocks and
herds in that section of the country
for years have been accustomed to
grazing without restrictions of any
kind. Many of them in time came to
look upon the public domain as their
very own. in an important sense. and
they were quick to resent any effort
on the part of the government to con-
serve either forest or grazing land.
But this friction is rapidly disappear
ing, as the western people see that
without such conservation the range
and forest in time will be destroyed.
A glance at the regulations govern
ing grazing on the government forests
will give the reader very good idea
of the government forest policy and
how 1t is being administered Stock
men who desire to make use of the
range apply for permits stating the
kind of stock they have. the quantity
of 1t and the location of the range they
want. The forest officers then proceed
to make allotments. apportioning the
available pasture among the appli
cants on as equitable basis as prac
ticable.
Sometimes stockmen who live near
forests or have stock near them allow
that stock to drift across lines. If this
is done carelessly or wilfully 1t is con
sidered trespass and the offender is
subject to fine and may also be sued
for damages. The number of tres
pass cases last year was 1873. of which
1853 were settled out of court The
sum collected for these trespasses ag
gregated $5,576. These trespass cases
have been another source of friction
between the government and the
grazers. 1t is difficult for the west
to realize that, the country now being
thickly populated, 1t is no longer pos
sible to maintain the old time free
range without destroying that range
The entire system of permits and fees
Is for the purpose of enabling the
government to know that the range
within the reserves is not being over
fed.

per-all of which, Of course,
means additional prosperity to
the men Of Baxter Springs.
An idea of the productiveness
of these mines and the vast yearly
increase in the yearly output can
be gained from the following
statistics:
Output for the years 1905 and
1906:
19O5-Zinc, 5,O99, 900 pounds;
lead, lips, go pounds.
19O6-Zinc, 6,372,293 pounds;
lead, 1905, $50 pounds.
Lead and zinc ore are found
anywhere from sixteen to 100
feet down, as shown by the va
rious shafts on the Quapaw
reservation, but they have also
been found as far down as 300
feet. The small churn drill is
the process of drilling used to
ascertain the value of the ground,
after which shafts are sunk and
drifts are driven. The work is
less ardurous and less dangerous
than gold mining and the fnan-
cial returns will average far
better in proportion to the trou-
BILE, expense and risk.
Baxter Springs mining camp
is only three years old and the
area actually developed so far is
about two miles square-only a
small portion of the available
mineral-produc:ng country. The
climate is such that work can be
carried on throughout the entire
year-no bait ing with 60 degrees
of below-zero cold and ground
frozen as hard as iron. Enor-
nous coal fields only twenty miles
north of the camp supply fuel in
plenty. Spring river, running
through the camp, will shortly
furnish ample water power, while
forty miles away is an enormous,
inexhaustible field of natural gas.
With cheap gas, fuel, water power
and electric which will
be generated from the works be-
ing constructed by Chicago capi-
talists on Spring river-Baxter
Springs is indeed equipped in a
fashion to arolSe wild envy among
other mining cities. The town,
which has about 1900 lively,
genial, hustling inhabitants, is
located OH the main line of the
Frisco railroad and only four and
one-half hours away from Kan
sas City. AS Kansas City is in
the heart of American civiliza-
ton, it will at once be realized
that Baxter Springs has almost
every other mining center in the
entire country discounted in con-
venience and accessibility of
location.

Some people are sore at this
paper because Of its utterances
last week regarding the condi-
ton of the streets Of the town.
We do not care anything about
the soreness. We have said noth-
ing that we intend to retract.
We still say il is a shame and
disgrace to have our streets in
such an dbominable condition,
especially when there is no need
of it. The town is financially
able to make some decent streets.
Remember that If il is in town
you will find it advertised in the
local papers. II you do not find
it advertised, why, Of course, It
is not to be found in this city.

paws now live IN great style.
Each has 2+0 acres of fine land, a
good house and plenty of horses
and cattle. Their allotments are
densely underlaid with zinc and
lead and the leases they have
made resulted in making them
rich and happy. Within a few
months after the first discovery
of lead and zinc upon the reserva-
ton there were seven mills pro-
ducing the valuable minerals,
while the last count showed
twenty-three, with two more
about to be constructed. Almost
the whole reservation seems to
be underlaid with bodies of ore
in blanket formation from twenty
to forty feet in thickness and the
drill tests have shown a larger
percentage of successful drill
holes than in any other section
of the southwest.
While the development of the
Baxter Springs mines so far has
been mainly by individual or
small partnerships, the equip
ments and the general character
of the improvements have been
wonderfully substantial and fully
equal to that of many camps
where the largest corporations
have done the financing. The
Baxter Springs people are a
young, vigorous and energetic
set and they have put in the best
machinery that they could get, oil
the newest and most progressive
patterns.
Baxter Springs owes the major
portion of its prosperity and
widespread publicity to its min
ing exchange-one of the most
wide-awake and progressive asso-
Citations in the county. 1t is the
Board of trade, information bu-
reau, stock exchange and general
handspring of the town and OF
the southwestern mining business
and its achievements for the
short period of its existence have
been nothing short of marvellous.
Patterned much after the great
South African Mining Exchange,
the organization has accomplish
ed wonders for the Baxter Springs
camp by giving out reliable in
formation, protecting investors
; and attracting capital. 1t is the
best illustration of the spirit and
energy of Baxter Springs and
deserve unlimited encomiums.
