amount of ore ever seen in the

officers of the mine were in the
camp, and spent Tuesday in Jop-
lin inspecting machinery and
plans for the new mill to be built
at once. A particularly fine ore
deposit was shot into in the
southeast part of the Mission on
Monday, and 300 tubs were hoist

another on Tuesday. Everything,
mill and hands are being pushed
to their utmost capacity. 1t pays

In the Baxter Springs mining
camp two important sales have
been made this week and several
others are pending. The 3 F."

in the camp, was sold to a COM

]. p. Kramer of Wellington,
Kas., owner in the kramer-Morse
mine, has come to relieve Mr..
Rice of the management OF the
property, as Mr.. Rice found too
much to do, to handle this and
the Mason and his outside deals.
Mr.. Kramer is delighted with the
new strike made in the air drift,
while connecting shaft No. ! with
shaft No. ,. This PROPERTY has
been good producer, and though
the mill was shut down until the
air drift was driven, it will be
started up again soon, and run
twenty-four houEs.
The Mission, the wonder of the
camp, made good find in one OF
the drifts last week of unusually

the personal supervision of Il. }.

as we'll as large quantities of it.
Last week it turned in 200, 600
pounds of jack and 100, 600 lbs. OF
lead; and this week it turned in
ia, $40 pounds of zinc. MIR. To-

hours each day, which means that
the Mission is to show the south
west district that it is not only a
/ good mine, but that it is a big
mine.
The M. K. & T. is very busy
place. The new tram connecting
the old Ward mine, now a part OF
the M. X. & T., is completed and
work on the Ward shaft is to be-
gin at once. A new failing ele-
vator has been built to carry the
tailings across the creek. This
mine is making about go, 900 lbs.
Of zinc and considerable lead each
week. The old or main shaft and
drifts open up about three-tfths
of an acre under ground, and in
handling the ore FROM the Ward
shaft, an extra shift will be run.
With a 35-foot face of ore. this
mill will give the Mission a run
| for first place, which it carried
off last week in the output OF
lead and zinc.

The Copp mine is driving a

J. E. Kramer of Wellington,
Kas., has come into the camp to
stay awhile with his property,
the Kramer-Morse mine. When
the big mines run into such finds

weeks, it always brings the

any, cheaper than your local merchant
can. First-quality, standard merchan-
disc is manufactured on very mar
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi-
dends on enormous capital If they can
sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity Of merchan-
disc at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing, but you would not buy the same
goods OF your local merchant that you
buy OF the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here is an item clipped from the
Parma, Mich, News which shows the
nefarious system of the mail order
concerns, and how they victimize their
patrons:
"A farmer purchased two sacks of
binding Irvine of large Chicago cata.
logue house, and upon its arrival this
morning bali was unrolled and meas.
ured with a ball of Plymouth Irvine
sold by local dealers, when it was
found that the Chicago article was just
300 feet short of that sold at home.
There being ten balls In a sack, It will
be seen that the farmer lost 6,12O feet,
or over a mile of Irvine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then, too,
the mail order house product was of
an inferior quality, being full of knots,
and one farmer standing near during
the measuring process remarked that
It would never work on a binder. Now
we wish to ask you, does 1t pay to
trade at home? If there is anyone
who is skeptical of this story, Just
call and we will show you."-Parma

Bankrupt stock, merchandise that
reliable jobbers would not handle be,
cause of its poor quality, the refuse
of the factories made over into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons of the mail order houses
are buying Here Is an extract from
an article that appeared in the Sioux
Falls, S. ID. Leader:
"The mail order house selling vehi
cles by the catalogue route, Is more

When the consumer buys merchan-

quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store OF his local mer-

determine whether the quality is first

that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have fair idea as
to whether the price asked Is fair
one or not.
But how is 1t when he attempts to

is what the catalogue says, and the
