THE MINES.
Much Activity Going on
In the Baxter Springs
Camp, but the Car
Shortage Continues
All the Ore Bins
Are Full of Ore.

"A great deal of new work =
being done in the Baxter Spring
camp. and the developed mire'
are producing very regularly.
Every ore bin in the camp is full.
and the Car shortage continues.
Hank Rice, manager of the kra-
mer-Morse Mining Company, wa'
fortunate enough to secure ont
Car last week, and shipped car
load of zinc for which he received
S1527. That was all the ore load
ed out of the Baxter Springs
camp last week.
Drilling is going on in all di-
rections and new strikes are be-
ing made continually. The old
producing mines are doing well.
In the Kramer-Morse mine a
big lead strike has been made in
the air drift. A body of ore ten
feet thick has been found. and
the width of it has not yet been
ascertained. There is quite lot
of zinc mixed with the lead. The
drift has been driven forty feet
already, and the dirt is very rich.
VIM. Copp has made Il very
rich strike in his mine on the
Buck land. He ran out of water,
and in sinking his shaft deeper
made the strike. The dirt taken
from the sinking will run about
forty per cent ore. Of course Mr..
Coop is feeling better.
The Monon is taking out very
rich dirt from its Stopping work.
This mine is to be connected up
with the No. 2 shaft as soon as
possible, and drifting with that
end in view is now being done.
Mr.. James Crawl of Monongahe-
la City, Pa, is the new manager,
Mr.. H. J. Millar having resigned
on account of too much business.
The 81 mine is making a lot
of clean ore every day, and the
more the ground is developed the
richer the dirt is. Mr.. Long,
who is experimenting the work,
expects to make some very big
turn-ins this spring and summer.

by the United States District At
torney for Oklahoma. OF the
three drill holes put down on the
20-acre piece, each shows an 1S-
foot face of ore, but before sink
ing a shaft they will put down
several other holes on the 20 as
we'll as the 1O-acres. This prop
erty will be known in the camp
as the Luther Mining Company.
Mr.. Thos. Timothy, superin-
tendent and manager of the Com
mon Law mining company, was
accompanied over the camp by
four members of his company,
VIM. F. Bader, Ed. Dexter, Fred
Tellbuescher and Joe Schloot-
man, all of Quincy, ILL.,, on Mon
day. They went under ground
in their property, and were much
pleased, as evidence of which
they have put in the hands OF Mr..
Timothy the money necessary to
build a good mill. These gentle
men were delighted with the pro-
'gress the camp is making.
Mr.. Louis E. Holman of Chel-
sea, +. T., a member Of the Cher
okee Mining Co., managed and
superintendent BY VIM. Copp,
spent Monday in the mine. He
was we'll pleased with the new
strike made on their property, as
it is now showing very rich ore.
Mr.. Holman spent the winter in
Florida, but likes Kansas and the
Indian Territory for the summer,
II is generally understood that
H. ]. Millar has sold the Old Abe
to Eastern parties, who will be-
gin active operation Of this prop
|erty the first Of May. The Old
Abe mine has been one of the
best producers in the I Baxter
camp in the years gone
by, and bids fair TO rival older
mines in this camp.

The Telephone aboard Ship

1t was when Il great ocean liner
ran around on the New Jersey
coast and a telephone wire was
extended from the shore to the
deck of the ship, that a new use
of the telephone was suggested.
Now when ships are tied up at
the wharveS. it is general GUS
tom to connect wires to telephone
instruments on the vessels. or to
pass through a portfolio an In
strument with a, long reel OF wire
attached so that people on board
may talk with anybody having a
telephone on shore. In the last
moments just before the sailing

for saying farewells and sending

Financiers who are given to
the pleasure of cruising in pri-

some port, connect with the Bell

their officers and. associates to ac-

gress of affairs.

This mine has three distinct runs

We understand a big mining
deal has been made in the camp.

the details were not obtainable.

The Mason mill will be rushed
to completion as fast as possible.
Hank Rice, the manager, of this
property, tells us he is going to
show some big productions from
the Mason.
Some lola ladies have formed a
mining company and will develop
some land south of the Mission.
The Lancaster continues to be
the admiration of the camp The
work develops the fact that the
ore body is a very big one.
The Micawber mill, on the
Gaines & Thomas lease of the
Cousatte land, is now running
regularly, and some very fine ore
is being made. The dirt taken
from the east drift of the Micaw-
Der will run about twenty per
cent, and in the west drift there
are big sheet runs of zinc ore.
This mine is going to make a
record this summer.
The Common Law, on the
Gaines & Thomas lease of the
Cousatte land, will build a big
mill this summer. The Common
Law has big body of first class
ore to work on, and will be in the
producing list this summer.
The M. X. & T. and Ward
mine are being connected with a
long tram. The dirt from the
Ward is to be cleaned on the M.
K. & T. mill. The mill will be
run double shift, and having a
capacity, double shift, of about
four hundred tons per day, will
be able to make some big out
puts. The dirt from the two
mines is very good.
The west shaft of the Eastman
Land and Investment Company
is being sunk to the ore body.

There was much excitement in
Baxter Springs Monday morning,
when Marshal Black attempted
to arrest three men at the Frisco
depot. 1t seems he had a tele-
.,hone message from Quapaw,
which told him the three men
had held up agent Hardman at
Quapaw a short time before, and
took what money was in sight,
about S24, and then took a rig
and come toward Baxter Springs.
They tied agent Hardman, but
he managed to get to his instru-
lnent and notify the agent at this
place, who phoned the marshal.
Marshal Black, suspecting that
the robbers would attempt to
board the train here, went out to
the depot to capture them. He
covered the fellows with his gun,
we understand, but for some reaS'
on or other he did not keep them
covered, and when he lowered
his gun one of the fellows jump
ed onto him, and in the struggle
which followed Black had the
little finger of his left hand shot
off, and received a powder burn
across his stomach. The robbers,
who were armed themselves, adj
ded Blacks gun to their arsenal,
and lit out across the country
AS soon as word was received up

other officers and several citizens
started in pursuit. The robbers

that an effort will be made to secure
another trial on the ground that when

Judge Taulbee says that the people

the time OF his conversion he had not
been sober for three years. He was
in Grand Rapids, Mich, and went on

In the river. The face OF his baby
