THE oUEEREsT RAILROAD.
stranqest in the Word Is Arctic Line
 That Runs Only in Summer.

Seattle (Wash) Cor. New York Herald.
 The Nome-Arctic railroad is the north ernmost railroad on this continent. From the shore of Boring Sea at Nome it crosses the Towering tundra and creeps and bumps it's way into the heartof the snow- crowned Sawtooth Mountain range.
 It was built for the transportation of supplies to mining camps, scattered along the creeks and the Snake and Nome rivers and in the mining district of the Kougu- rok. Passengers are still unconsidered trifies, who, at the rate of 10 cents mile, are permitted to hang on if they can. Naturally it runs only in summer.
 The roo1ess Pullman car is f1anked with kitchen benches. It is solidly packed with miners and track 1aborers. with pick and shovel und pan, brown canvas bags or oilcloth packs There are also women and children, going out to gather wild flowers. A roofiess freight car was piled with merchandise. The one available seat was keg of nails.

Anvil Creek, four and a half miles, was $60. The Nome-Arctic railroad in conse. quence cleared in the first season of less than three working months s60,000.
 The road has been extended to Station Ex, 12 miles from Nome, when the Wil1 Goose company sold it in the summer of 1905 to the Northwestern Development company With change of ownership came change of name, and to the newcomer the Nome-Arctic is now the Seward Pen insula railroad.
 These facts statistical Sourdough im- parts as the train wabbles into the first station, Brownsville. Scattered every where back of the roadhouse are canvas or tar paper shacks, derricks, huge dumps the winters digging waiting for water to clean up-a network of sluice boxes and miles of canvas pipes coiling like huge reptiles through the tundra.

The WIEES.

The 81 mine. under the man.
agement of Mr.. Brooks, started
up last Friday and the manager
says that he is now in position
to keep the mine going full time.
The Joanna mine has been laid
up on account of repairs to the
engine which have been delayed
in shipping. Mr.. Foster says he
is ready to start up on receipt of
the repairs.
Installing new boiler and
compressor is causing the shut
down at the Myrtle mine. AS
soon as this Improvement is COM
pleted the property will be able
to keep running regularly.
John H. Bovard, owner of the
Old Abe mine, writes us that he
will start up his property by the
end of the week and will run it
double shift. This is good news
as this elegant property has been
down for six months.
VIM. Copp has sold his lease
and mine, just to the west of the
Mason, to The Lucille Mining
Co., which is pushing the devel-
opment preparatory to building a
mill. w. ID. Windrum of Forum,
l. T., is managing this property.
The Newlands mill is running
every day and is making a fine
quality of. ore. Two cars are
ready for shipment at this prop
erty. The ground development
is being pushed so the mill Will
be kept running full time in the
near future.
In the Baxter Springs district
a great deal of prospect work is
going on. New mines are being
opened up, drilling is being done,
and four or five mills are being
constructed, among them being
the Alabama, Virginia, Lancas-
, ter and Common Law.

gress with development on the
24-foot face of lead and zinc ore
which he gets at IS feet. This
property will be ready for a mill
before the first of the year.
The Mission is building large
dam, to make a lake to the south
of the mill, to supply the mill
to supply the mill with water.
This lake is being connected up
with the mill supply pump with
a deep flume and will save the
expense of pumping the water
twice.
A new strike to the southwest
of the Mission was made this
week in the Big Chief. Manager
Peak says he will top the market
when he gets his mine opened up.
This is on the Peter Clabber land
and the shaft gets its name from
the fact that Peter Clabber is
chief of the Quapaws.
The Mason Mining Co. is run
ming steadily and turning out
some very fine ore. This mill has
been kept running ever since its
completion and the management
is pushing ground development
in order to run double shift as
soon as sufficient ore can be got
ten out to do so.
]. w. Barnes, drilling on the
Baxter Royalty Company land
north of Miami, made a rich
strike of lead and zinc ore at lO9
feet. This is the same run of ore
that the Old Chief, Tom Lawson
and New State mines are taking
such fine ore from. The Golden
Hen and Buckeye join this lease
to the east.
Faust Bros. are pushing the
erection Of the Common Law mill.
All the structural work is COM
pleted and the machinery will be
on the ground this week and will
be installed as fast as possible.
Mr.. Timothy, manager says he
expects to be running the mill by
October IS if not sooner.

Washington, d. c., Wilbur G.
Sweeney, of Baxter, and George
Potter, of Joplin.
The wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.

ciety folk, as the event was unex-
pected, no announcement having
been made. Since the fact be-
came known. however, congratu.
lations have been sent to the

once the installation of a perman-
ent operating plant. A large
two compartment working shaft
will be sunk to the two hundred
foot level, capable of accommo-
dating two cages and space for
water, air and steam pipes. A
second air shaft will be started
at the same time and sunk with
the working shaft. AS soon as
shafts are completed and suffi-
cient development done to supply
a 5O0-ton mill il will be built.
This is to be the most substan-
tial plant built in the camp and
the prospecting certainly justifes
the plan outlined. The officers
of this company. all of whom are
located here, are giving their
personal attention to their COM
pany's business, and therefore il
will have the advantage of their
experience: and knowledge of
the field. They are men who
have been connected with the
camp from its start, are heavily
interested in other properties and
have the success of the Sunburst
at heart as they have the success
of the whole camp.

and zinc district. More develop
ment work has been done, and
more good paying propositions
have been opened up than in any
other district. II is going to be
a lasting camp, too, on account
of the sheet or fiat bed ore prop
ositions found all over the camp.
The NJ. X. * II. is running as
usual, making lots Of ore. Three
bins of fine ore are now on hand
ready for the market. The Ward
shaft is now in operation and
helping to supply the mill with
ore. This is proving to be one OF
the big mines of the district and
as soon as sufficient underground
work is done in the Ward shaft
the mill will be run double shift.
The Kramer-MIorse mine on
the Baxter Royalty Co. land is
installing a larger crusher, which
will enable it to increase its ca
pacity quite materially. Joe
Kramer, who is in charge of this
property, is promising some new
records on the amount of zinc
and lead which this mine will
make on the completion Of this
new crusher installation. With
~ feet of rich ore this property
should lead all the mines in pro-
duction.
Work in the Baxter Springs
district is just like it is in other
parts of the lead and zinc district.
Many of the producing mines are
shut down, and will remain so I'M
til the price of ore is higher. The
smelter men are bearing the mar
ket, and there is no good reason
why the price of ore is not higher.
An effort is being made to get
the biggest producing mines in
this district to close down, and
the effort is going to be success
full. OF course, work is not all
off in the mines, because while
the production of ore is stopped,
the operators are given an oppor-
tunity to go ahead and get their
mines in good shape for heavy
production when the price OF ore
goes up again.
The stockholders of the Sum
burst Mining Co., at their annual
meeting held in this city Satur-
day, the IA, voted to purchase adj
ditional lands and made the nee.
essary arrangements to start de-
velopment on same at once.
Eighty acres were selected in the
heart of the camp, being what is
known locally as the Wagner
forty and the forty just south of
it, together with other lands ly-
ing in different parts of the camp
which thev were able to secure to
advantage. The Wagner forty
has been drilled and it has dem
onstrated bed of ore 10 feet
thick-by far the heaviest depos-
it that has been discovered in the
entire camp. This shows that
the stockholders of the Sunburst
Company are alive to their inter-
ests and certainly have shown
that they are we'll advised on the
values of the best lands in the
camp. This purchase adds to
their holdings enormously. and
will prove with development to
be one of the best money makers
in the entire camp. Mr.. Chas.
