Another rich strike was made
in the Kramer-Morse mine. They
have cut into six-foot face of
disseminated lead in air drift.
They have drifted into it As feet.
The Sweeney Engineering Co.,
which has been prospecting for
six months with drills, has found
ore in every hole. This is sure
ly a remarkable record, and one
which we think can't be beaten.
John Rice is drilling for the
Baxter Royalty Company on the
Tom Crawfsh land. He made
two fine strikes last week. Joe
Bingham is drilling for the same
company on its lease at Quapaw
station.
The J. c. L. are connecting up
by a long tra1nway their No. 3
shaft, which is. west of the mill,
and has demonstrated some re-
markably rich ore. Shafts /, ?
and 3 will be worked to supply
the mill with dirt enough to run
double shift. This property is
we'll located and should pay good
dividends.
The Lancaster, just south OF
the Omaha and Hobo mines, is

to a point where the parties in
terested feel that they can safely
put up a large mill and from the
drilling they are assured of hav-
ing enough to keep their mill 60
ing steadily for many years.
The Monon Mining Co., has
been pushing the development of
its underground work for some
time. This development has
proven very rich ore in all the
drifts and is now ample to keep
the mill running. This joins the
Mason property on the north and
has the same quality and quanti-
ty of ore as the Mason, which is
considered to be as rich as any in
the camp.
The Joanna has just finished
much needed repairs on the mill
and ponds, and is again running
in its usual way. This mine has
attracted the attention of the en-
tire camp by its heavy produc-
ton of sheet lead. - Mr.. Foster,
the local manager, says they are
just getting into the main body
of ore, and will surpass all pre-
vious records.
The Little Four Mining Co.,
has just drained their shaft and
are now dumping some mighty
nice ore on the ore pile. This
company, while having but a
fve-acre lease, is certainly nigh
ty fortunate in making its selec-
ton, as it is located between the
Kramer-Morse mine on the east
and the ST on the west. The
drilling which has been done has
proved the same bed of ore as
those now worked by the other
two companies.
The 81 mill, under the man.
agement of F. P. Long, has been
operating and is turning out ore
very rapidly at the present time.
The developing on this lease has
proven extremely rich and no
doubt is the same bed of ore en-
countered by the Kramer<Morse
on the east and the Mason, Mo-
non and Cherokee on the west.
The recent drilling done on the
lease has proven that the inn
mense ore bodies extend over the
entire lease.
The Omaha has struck rich
run of lead and jack in the north
drift, and the northwest drift
shows the same run of ore. This
is on a 72-foot level. The Oma-
ha will sink a shaft near the Ho-
DO and one at the southeast cor
ner of their 20 acres. They have
been greatly handicapped BY not
having their ground opened up
sufficiently to run night and day.
They are preparing to carry their
work forward more aggressively.
The Sunburst has just finished
their boiler room and derrick and
are connecting it up and will be
ready to put in steam drills in a
few days. This property has
four drifts opened up and shows
very good lead and zinc'in all the
faces. AS room as the steam
equipment is completed a large
force of men will be put to work
and the development will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The splendid strike of this lead
and jack made by the Hobo in its
northeast and northwest drifts,

Using leases now under develop
ment. A new mill will be started
on this property as soon as suffi-
cient underground development
has been done to keep the mill
running full time.
The Quivera Lead and Zinc
Co., has again started their ex-
cellent property which has been
imperative for some time past.
The further development of their
shaft No. 2 has proven very sat-
isfactory, developing an immense
body of rich zinc ore which verb
fees the drilling made in that To-
cality. This company has also
started shaft No. 3 and is push
ing it with double shift and ex-
pect to make a record for sinking
in this district, expecting to
strike their ore within 30 days.
The Irish Maid is one Of the
exceptions of the camp, being To-
Gated in the bottom of a draw, 1t
being the exception in this camp
for ore to be found in the draws
or low ground, as it is in the
older camps. However, the Irish
MAID has demonstrated that the
lore bodies make in the draw, and
lin its particular case make very
rich. The development is being
pushed very rapidly, and as soon
as the necessary openings are
made underground a mill will be
built.
The Mckinley, whose shaft is
on the Baxter Mining Company's
lease of the Catholic church forty,
lis pushing its development on the
|136-foot level. This company
finds its ore at a depth of ZIG feet
and demonstrated it to a depth OF
|152 feet. However, it is carry.
ling only a 20-foot face at the
present time and is developing
very rich ore on this level. The
plans for a mill on this property
are now in the hands of a mill
builder, on which figures will be
submitted in a short time.
The Spring River Co.'S new
mill has just been started and the
dirt being milled is showing fine
results. This mill was built by
Foust Bros. and they can well be
proud of their work, as it is clean
ing the dirt remarkably well and
doing it easily. This lease has
been prospected with seven holes,
all of which show a face of Is
feet of ore. 1t is directly south
of the Joanna and joins the J.C.L.
Ion the east. 1t is excellently To-
Gated aud the future production
will be above the average. The
parties interested are all from
White Hall. ILL.,, and Mr.. Peake

The Mason Mining Co., has
progressed very rapidly in the
construction of its new mill. The
mill is to be 200 tons capacity
and is being built by the United
Iron Works Co., under the direc-
ton and superintendent of Tom
ITarr. Mr.. Tarr assures the
writer that this will be one of the
best mills constructed in the en-
tire camp and with this assurance
the Mason should be a leader for
production, as what ore has been
taken from its properties and
milled up to date, have shown a
saving of IL per cent of zinc con-

THE COMMENCEMENT.

The graduating class of the
Baxter Springs High School gave
their commencement exercises at
the new opera house on Monday
evening of this week, and al-
though the evening was very wet,
heavy rain falling, yet there
was a large audience present.
The program as published last
week was carried out to the letter.
The graduating class was COM
posed of Misses Mildred Reed and
Sara Kelsey, and Steele Sproull,
Ben Hauber, and Percy Coe.
The salutatory was delivered
by Steele Sproull and the vale
dictory by Percy Coe. Both these
young men had evidently given a
great deal of study to their sub
jects for they delivered them
we'll.

the work done by the pupils re-
fleets great credit on Professor
Jones and his excellent corps of
teachers.
