advent of the Helm electric line
into Baxter Springs and its new
mineral camp is one of the turn.
ing points of this community to
its great future, which has been
most mercilessly hampered by
the adverse policy pursued by the
Frisco Railroad.
Sweeney & Sons made another
big strike on the south forty of
the Frank Buck land this week
this make three strike on this
forty within the month and they
are now starting the fourth hole.
1t certainly looks as if the ore
can not be missed in that locality.
This record is only duplicate of
the experience of all the parties
who have drilled around this
forty. 1t is reported that this
forty will see the most expedi-
tious development yet seen in the
camp and that it will be on a
very large scale. Mr.. Sweeney
comes from camps where mines
are operated on extremely large
plans and no doubt he will install
like equipments and methods on
his land in this camp. This dis
trict will stand large installations
for the ore beds are unlimited
and it is simply a matter of prop
erly opening up the ground and
building mills of immense cap
acity to make this camp the larg-
est zinc and lead producer in the
entire southwest.
Mr.. Helm OF Excelsior Springs,
Mo-, paid a flying visit to Baxter
Springs. and the mining camp
during the past week and was so
much taken with the prospects Of
the future greatness of Baxter
Springs and its lead and zinc
camp that he made arrangements
with a resident 10 rent a house
and move his family here. Mr..
Helm is wide-awake business
man and we are much pleased to
see such men come amongst us.
We extend to Mr.. Helm the glad
hand of citizenship and welcome
him to the coming largest and
most prosperous lead and zinc
district in the world. This means
that Baxter Spring Is destined to
be the greatest lead and zinc GEN.
ter in the United States and
while Joplin would necessarily
smile to insinuate that Baxter
Springs would outgrow it within
the next few years, still it is not
at all improbable that this dis
trict will sell more ore and do
more business than Joplin, for if
you take the output of Joplin
proper, eliminating all the smaller
camps which are now reported to
the credit of Joplin, the showing
would be a very material decrease
in the output credited to it each
week, not that we wish to detract
any from Joplin or its advantages
but that in. making comparison
that Baxter gets a fair show.
Spring River Mining Company
is pushing its big mill to COM
pletion as fast as men and money
can do it. 1t expects to have the
mill in operation by January Is,
and will be one of the big pro-
ducers in the camp. This is on
the Baxter Royalty Company'sI
land just south of the Joanna
mine. Eight drill holes have
been put down on this lease, all
of which show a body of lead and
zinc ore of IS feet. One shaft
has been sunk and large amount
of development work has been
done, resulting in an immense
pile of ore being dumped on the
ground ready for the starting OF
the new mill. Foust Bros, are
the mill for this
company and are doing every
thing possible to have It running
ON time. This is the farthest to

week and would have loaded an
other car il could have gotten
the car to load. This Is the only
property so far opened in the
camp where the ore is found al
the grass roots and continues
down to its present workings
which are IS feet deep.
The Western Mining Company,
under the management of Mr..
Ayers of Joplin, is making
mighty fine improvements both
as to mill equipments and provid.
ing dwellings for its men to live
in. Camp Ayers will be the best
equipped of any in the district
and will have very decided eff
feet on inducing married men to
come here to live.
Off to the south of the Omaha
mines the Lancaster Mining Com
pany has struck into its big lead
in sinking and drifting. This is
the property on which Charley
Gregory made so rich a lead
strike when drilling last summer.
The development is showing up
equally as we'll as the drill indi-
cations did, and the owners of
the Lancaster are jubilant over
their diggings.
The best record so far for zinc
production is being made at the
White Eagle mill of the Eastman
Land Il Investment Company on
the Abrams land. A steady pro-
duction of 8 to 10 tons per shift
is being made and some days it
runs as high as Us tons of fine
jack. The drillings on this sixty
acres have proven an immense
ore body and as soon as the
ground is sufficiently opened up
the big mill will be run double
shift.
Mr.. Taylor, Jr., of Philadel-
phia, Pa, visited the camp dur
ing the past week and expressed
himself as highly pleased to see
SO much development done in SO
short 4 time and to note the enor-
NOUS ore bodies already opened
up. He predicts for this camp a
great future. Mr.. Taylor, is in
terested with Mr.. F. A. Brown
of Duluth in the Great Northern
Mining Company which holds
large acreage east of Spring
river.
Mr.. Robt. Candy of Ell Paso.
who has been visiting the Mis-
sion Mining Company for the
past week left Thurday evening
on his return trip very much
pleased with his visit and what
he saw in the Baxter camp. Mr..
CANDY was here studying out the
best methods to adopt in saving
the ore so as to install the proper
machinery in the new thousand
ton mill which the Mission Min
ing Company is planning at the
present time.
All the properties in the camp
have given their men a week off
to celebrate the holidays. How
ever, most of the companies have
taken advantage of this general
suspension of work to make what
ever repairs are necessary in or
der that when they start up next
week that everything will be in
No. / shape for good work. The
Mission loaded a car of zinc AMI
a portion of car of lead and if
it could have gotten the cars
would have loaded another car
each of lead and zinc.
Mckinley Mining Company
has gotten its new boiler house
completed and new Emerson
pump installed and are now sink

support of the U. of o. Appro-
priation Referendum.

The following communication has
been sent to The Journal for publi-
cation:
AS the invoking of the referendum
on the $125,00O annual appropria-
tion for the University of Oregon is
creating considerable discussion let
me give the people little statistical
information.
There were at the beginning of
1905 100000 school children in
the United States 1900. 900, or less
than ten per cent Of these, receiving
schooling above the fifth grade of
our public schools 100000, or less
than three per cent enter the high
schools or get an education above
the eighth grade. (Why? Because
many of the states fail to levy suffi-
Client tax to maintain free schools,
and, their parents being poor, are
not able to pay for their schoolingl.
Less than one-half OF one per cent
OF this 100000 enter college.
Last year there was In Oregon
156,466 public school scholars.
There was raised by tax, provided
by law, $93S,796; by special dis
trict tax, In districts where they
wanted more months school than the
amount raised by state law would
give them, s4S3,11S.23. making a to-
tai of $1,421,914.23 for teaching in
the public schools of Oregon last
year, or about 99.O9 per scholar.
President Campbell stated before
a committee in Albany on March
30th that they had $40 students en-
rolled at the U. OF o.. and that they
paid $4,000 for teaching last year;
taking the present enrolment as

Few women possess the nerve nec-
sesary to use a pistol with effect
when attacked. Then there is the
objection to a revolver in the pos
session of woman that she would
be averse to suspecting the motive
of every man she met, and would
probably fail to draw the revolver
until too late, for fear of making
foolish mistake. What, then, can
be provided for her that will be
formidable to foe, yet absolutely
safe, so far as she is concerned, and
ever ready at hand, whether wanted
for use or not?
The answer to the puzzle has been
provided by those who make wom-
ems hat pins. A hat pin has been
designed that is intended primarily
for use as weapon of defense. 1t
is in reality a stiletto, masquerading
as an innocent hat pin.
II is made of fine steel that will
not break, as sharp as a needle, and
hardened at the end so that it car
be used with deadly effect as a dag
ger, and with a handle that enable
a woman to grasp It for use as
weapon and hold II so that It cannot
easily be pulled from her hand.
There are two ways of holding
this hat pin. IL can be held with the
thumb pressed against the top or
with the button grasped in the palm
of the hand. In either way II is e
weapon not to be despised.
The method of using 1t to the best
when attacked is to aim
at the face of the highwayman. A
woman armed with one of these sti-
lettos is able to do more damage in
a few seconds than a man unarmed.
The wicked little blade is so small
that II is impossible to grasp 1t to
wrench it away from her and yet so
keen Il is that thrust home by

There are times in most women's

lcter comes into the ofiing and pru-
ience whispers, Beware of him"
While most women would shrink un-
Ter these circumstances from pulling

With this in her hand the nervous |
