The state tax commission has just made
a ruling that will lessen to some extent
the burdens Of the new tax law. The
commission says that property against
which there is valid Indebtedness should
be assessed at its full valuation less the
Indebtedness. This is very just ruling
for it is radically wrong that a property
owner should be burdened with taxation
on full valuation in addition to paying
interest on money borrowed on the same
property.

AS RICH

Missouri Kansas Lead and Zinc Output
 Equals Gold of Year

GALENA, KAS. July 1.-(Specal) Figures or the output and valuation of zinc lead from the Missouri-Kansas mining district for the first half of the year show the most remarkable in in the districts history. Provided the same ratio of increase is maintained during the last half of year, the output and valuation will be more than S,0oo00o in of the districts big gest year
 Last years output and valuation of zinc and lead $1512e,175, more than S2,0000OO greater than the previous record year. but the valuation for 1907 will be approximately $1S,7000 900 equivalent to, greater than, the value of the gold output from Alaska.
 The value of zinc and lead mined from the district during the six months ending with June is ss373S15, against $730o,OS2 for the period of 1906 This value called for the production of 316 004,490 pounds of zinc ore-the highest grade mined in the world-and 49,554 240 pounds of lead ore Kansas City Journal, July ?, 1901

 PROFITS
Tremendous Earning Power of Lead and
 Zinc Mines.

The demand for Lead and Zinc is, increasing rap idly in almost every branch of industrial activity These two metals have become Indispensable ia many manufacturing and commercial processes They enter largely into the making of paint oil cloths rubber goods, plumbers materials apd prnt- CTS type
 Zinc is required for electrical installations wher- copper is used, and is indispensable in teleg- raphy, telephCning and electrical transportation. These uses alone call for enormous quantities of the metal.
 The United States Navy has recently investigated the advantages of Zine coating for war vessels to prevent the formation of barraces Consider for a moment the immense quantities that will be re- quired in the future by the combined navies of the world when this new process is generally adopted by all the great powers.
 The worlds great tin mines being rapidly ex hausted, and Zinc alone of all metals will be able to partially take the place of tinl For building and decorative purposes Zinc finds hew every year. These and other uses are causing unprecedented de- mand for Lead and Zine and the price Is climbing steadily upward.
 Since 1902 the average price of Lead has increased from $4610 to $7S.50 per tom and Zinc from $S033 to $448S per ton Prices in the future like ly to be much higher than any of these averages.
 Yet Lead and Zinc mining Is one of the least ex- l sums to open up gold copper mine, few thou sand dollars sufficient capital to aI1ead and Zinc mine
 You probably have aequaintances who have in- vested in gold copper mines and lost money But can you think of single instance in Lead and Zinc mining in the Southwest? A cas@ of failure among properly managed mines in tho Southwest Lead and Zinc Field Is practically unheard os. The mine op- orators there are making money, and making it easily

 2. The ore buyers at ths bins paying cash for every ton of produced.

RECENT PRESS DISPATCHES
aehne.s of Baxter Royalt, Company.

Baxter Springs, Kan.-An ore body varying from twelve to twenty-five leep in thickness and carrying high grade of lead-zinc ore, is reported by the New State Mining company, operating on Bax- ter Royalty land, one mile south or Quapaw. The shaft, at a depth of ninety feet, is five feet in the ore. This particu- lar strike was made far to the west of the present field of operations, and car ries the field of the Quapaw mining camp four and one-half miles to the west of any present known ore body. Another big strike has also been made in the Lit tie Four mine situated on Baxter Royalty land in the very heart of the camp. Ad- joining the Mission mine on the land of Peter Clabber, chief of the Quapaws, Philadelphia company recently took an op- tion on forty-acre lease and demon strated ore, by seven drill holes within few days time. Reports of these strikes have gained wide circulation, and are bringing about unprecedented demand for leases on the lead and zinc lands of the district-The Clevelano (Ohio) Leader June g, 1907.

Joplin, Mo, May 2S-ore shipments from the lead and zinc mines of this district this season have been the great est in Joplin's history, and Jnstify fhe expectation that 1907 will prove another record breaker. The rapidity with which new lands are opened up. mills installed and developing properties brought to the production stage sets at naught the most conservative forecasts. The time usually required in placing these mines on d pay ing basis is less than in the case of al- most every other kind of metal mining
 Further drill tests of the Baxter Roy atty companys acreage have yielded some of the best cuttings ever obtained in the Quapaw district. The ore bodies are often encountered butNa few dozen feet beneath the surface. and usually run from twelve to seventy feet in thickness. yielding 50 or 6o per cent of metallic zinc. Heavy production is reported from the mills al- ready operating on the Baxter leaseholds. .-The Financial Bulletin, Denver, Colo, June 1, 1907.

SPLENDID RECORD
Lead and Zinc Mines of the Southwest
 Lead the World.
From the Joplin Monitor.

If the Missouri Kansas mining district produced s1sooe 900 in gold annually, it would be considered the greatest mining country in the world The vel low metal has drawing power that cannot be equalled.
 Perhaps you do not know it, but the value of the zinc productions of this district is greater than the gold productions of Alaska. The last pub lished report shows that Alaska produced only $0, 900 GOO in gold in 1904. Alaska is known to every school boy great mining country. Thou sands of perosns have borne many hardships in reach the country that they might pros pect for gold.
 But do they know about Joplin and her district as great mining country? Not much and that such a of affairs exists is easily accounted for We do not mine gold.
 The few persons over tho United States who have heard about the Missouri-Kansas lead and zinc mines have conception of the number of mines operated the number of employed the amount of money invested in machinery. Let's educate them When you write to your friends tell them that:
 The value of the districts lead and zinc pro- duction is greater than Alaska's gold production
 It is greater than the gold production of all Mexico.
 It is greater than the gold production of Canada
 It is greater than the gold production of India
 It almost equals the gold production of Col
 It will equal this year the production of Cali fornia.
 tana Nevada, Oregon and Utah combined.
 It is greater than the gold production of Ger many Great Britain, Italy, Turkey, Central Ameri- ca Brazil Japan Venezula and Austria Hungary
 We produce three-fourths of the zinc of the world
 There more than 300 mines in active opera ton In the district.
 Twelye thousand miners employed here.
 These are some things our friends, the strang- ers should Tell it to them. Write to them Send out the good news by wire.
 The lands of the Baxter Royalty Con- pany are situated in the very richest part of the rich district described above.
