Opening of a new mill is al
ways interesting to any district
and more so to the new camps
that are watching the growth
more closely than the older ones.

with the older producing camps
in this great Southwestern dis
trict, Baxter uapaw district set
a pace, for development, never
eoualed before its time, for the
amount of development in 80
short a time, and it held this
record until it passed the palm to
its sister camp, in its own terri
tory, when Miami astounded the
mining world by its rich discov-
cries which set all this Southwest
district a-gog, and attracted
some of the best, as well as the
Oldest mine operators of the Jop-
lin, Webb City and Galena camps
who rush in and pushed more de-
velopment and built more mills
for the time than yet have been
built in any single camp so far
opened. The most satisfactory
side of it, the men who appreci-
ated the discovery of this bonan-
"a field, are making their energy
and foresight pay them hand
somely by the rich returns they
are reaping from their opera
tions. =,
Oklahoma may we'll feel proud
of her mineral resources, and es-
pecially her lead and zinc fields
in the Quapaw reserve, as the
production last week put this dis
trict fourth place out of all the
camps reported from the entire
Southwestern district, which in
cludes Missouri, Kansas, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma. Webb City
took the lead as usual with a
turn-in of S91, 7s1, Joplin coming
a slow second with only $40, ITO,
Galena ran fairly well with S17,-
635 to its credit, while the mines
in the Quapaw reserve gave Ga
lena a close run for third place,
having reported SIS, 26l, one car
of lead and two cars of jack hav-
ing failed to get into the official
report, which would have put
this district into third place for
the week.
Time proves many theories
wrong, while it likewise proves
many theories right, or we might
better express it more accurately
by saying that time proves the
facts as they are, while at the
same time it proves theories
wrong.
No better example could DEM
oustrate this assertion than the
steady and wonderful develop
ment of the Quapaw district.
A few years ago many OF the
wise men of the Northeastern
part of this Southeastern lead
and zinc district, advanced all
kinds of theories as to why lead
and zinc ore could not be found
in paving quantities in the Qua
paw reservation, and they lost
sleep nights, trying to dissemin-
ate the truth of their theories on
their neighbors, becoming infuri-
ated i'm many instances If their
patient neighbors did not fully
agree with them, and in case one
was found who had the hardihood
to openly disagree with them

HaskeII's Connection With
Oklahoma Town Site Suits.
REPLY TO HIS REJ0INDER
Accused of Filing Technical Pleas,
Dilatory in Effect.
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
w. L. Sturdevant of st. Louis Tells
of His Efforts to Obtain De-
cision in the Cases.

At the White House the following letter.
relative to the case of Gov. Haskell. re-
ceived from W. L. Sturdevant. 4 lawyer
at ST. Louis, was made public today:
ST. LOUIS. October /, 1908.
The President.
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr.. President: 1 notice in Gov.
Haskelrs letter of date September 80,
published in today's papers. the following
statement:
Yes l believe / am defendant as TO
certain government townsite lots in one
Of nearly 1000 suits that you have had
brought against as many different honor
able and high-minded citizens of this
state during this presidential campaign
year. and you will not undertake to deny
that petty politics for the purpose Of re-
publfcanizing about 10000 Indian voters
was your sole motive for having those
suits brought and 1 charge you with
knowing that there has been no delay In
these cases, except that Occasioned by
the courts deliberations, taken by HIM
self as time he deemed necessary to con-
the petition filed by your attorney"
The above statement regarding the
townsite suits Is so imperfect that it is
entirely misleading. All those suits in
which Gov. Haskell is defendant. except
one, were filed in 1907, prior to the ad-
mission of Oklahoma as a state. He is
charged with a direct participation in the
frauds through which the Indians were
deprived of their property, and the bills
seek to hold him personally liable for the
injury thus inflicted. He has not an
wered to the merits in a single case, but
all pleas filed by his ATTORNEYS are purely
technical and, necessarily dilatOry in eff
feet. Mr.. Mott. attorney for the Creek
nation and myself have many times
urged a hearing on the merits of these
cases. and I have personally proposed
several times to his attorneys Of record
that they file answers IN the cases in
order that a hearing might be had upon
the merits and the cases disposed of.
affirmative response. and the result is
that the cases have taken the regular
course on a heavy docket. We have an
nounced several times in open court and
otherwise that we are ready for an 1m-
mediate hearing in any and all suits filed.
This has been done with view of Oh
tanning a speedy adjustment of the cox
troversies, and in order to give any per-
son charged with a primary liability an
opportunity to acQuit himself of such
charge, If possible, without delay. This
course could have been pursued without
any Violation of ultimate rights, as ju-
matter cannot be waived in the federal
courts; but for reasons probably suffi-
cient unto them the defendants have
not approved it.
/ have the honor to remain, with great
respect,
Very truly yours,
W. l.. STURDEVANT.

RICH MEXICAN DIES AT SEA.
Son Followed in Another Liner.
Communication by Wireless.

NEW YORK, October 3-The steamer
Lucania arrived from Liverpool today
with a dead passenger. Antonio BOlio.
an aged Mexican millionaire, and at
the same time there came up the bay
La Lorraine, from Havre. bearing his
son, Gustavo, with his family. That the
elder BOlio had died yesterday not only
wae known by the younger man before
he landed here this morning. but al
most all the way across the Atlantic
the two had kept up communication by
means of wireless telegraphy until
Thursday. On that day the son received
no message either from his father or
his fathers secretary. and then word
came from the secretary that the old
man was sick. followed by another yes
terday saying he was dead.
Father and son had meant to come
over on the same steamer. but at the
last moment they were obliged to take
different boats. Senor Bolfo was a re-
tired hemp planter and was said to be
extremely wealthy. He was eighty six
years old and had had twenty two
children. eleven of whom are living.

There was no preliminary announcement
of the Presidents intention to attend the

Humor Rouses Enthusiasm
His speech to the delegates was full
of human nature and good humor. More
than once broad smiles appeared on even
the most sedate of the faces in The audi
ence, and several times he had to stop
speaking because of the laughter which
applauded the humor of his remarks. II
was not a speech of technicalities. but
was a broad, American, humanit arian
talk on what science has done for Amer

Previous to the Presidents arrival an
other ovation had been given to DR..
Stella, the official representative of the
King of Italy. and who extended the in
