but in his death the little town
of Lowell loses a most estimable
citizen, the Methodist church, Of

worthy and efficient president.
He was kind and amiable, always

words of cheer and comfort in
cases of sorrow and misfortune.
He was charitable; not recklessly
or impulsively SO, but ever ready

his one and only guide, and his
daily walks, his manliness and
splendid Christian qualities only
proved the truth of this reference.
He has been with The Spring
River Power Company during his
stay in Lowell, as electrical en-
gineer and his competency, at
tentiveness and high regard for
duty all combined to command
the utmost trust, respect and es.

in a measure. evidenced by an
elaborate and most beautiful
floral offering made by the Off

held by the many employees of

true with the helpers or STU

relying on him with perfect safe

Police Judges Must Give
Information.

A new Interpretation of the
duties and powers of police judges
in the enforcement of the prohib-
itory law is contained in a deci-
sion of the Supreme Court handed
down last Saturday. The deci-
sion holds that a police Judge of
the second class is duty bound to
inform the county attorney of vi
olations of the prohibitory law.
The case in which. this decision
was rendered was that of Phil
Keener, police Judge of the city
of Scammon, in this county.
Keener refused to tell the county
attorney of violations of the pro-
hibitory law and refused to fur
nish witnesses. Custer proceed
ings were started against him
charging him with neglecting
his duties. The district court
held that the law requiring the
probate Judge to furnish such as
sistance is unconstitutional, but
the Supreme court reverses this
decision and holds that it is the
duty of the police Judge to assist
the county attorney with all such
knowledge.

The Chicago-Sguapaw,s new
mill is just about completed and
will be put into commission about
the middle of November.
J. w. Rice has taken up the de-
velopment of the Alton, which
has not been worked for over two
years. He reports the lead to be
increasing to the east and north
as the drifts are being advanced
in these directions,
1t is reported that the Luther
Mining Co. is to start up its prop
erty the first of the month.
Enough of development has been
done on this lease to show large
ore body of high grade ore, and
a mill erected there would add
another good producer to the
north camp.
The State Mine Inspector has
been inspecting the camp the
past week, and has issued in
structions to many of the mine
operators to make certain changes
and sink air shafts to comply
with the law covering mining IN
the state of Oklahoma.
A big dump of ore is now piled
up at the Black Jack diggings,
and this company is looking for
ward to erecting a mill this fall.
Shaft No. 2 is being sunk to the
west lind shalt No. 3 will be
started on knoll to the south at
once. The latter point is where
the drill showed such rich ore at
the ia foot level. Tramways
will connect the two shafts with
the mill.
J. w. Creech of Joplin has pur-
chased of Bragg, Whitmore and
Meyr, their lease of the Joanna
mine, on the Baxter Royalty Co.
land, and is making an excellent
showing from this old mine. A
large pile of block lead is now in
the bins and several hundred tons
of fine lead and silicate is broken
down in the mine, ready TOR
hosting.
Development at the Lincoln
Vile is progressing steadily with
most satisfactory results. The
sinking has proven up the drill
ing by opening up a thirty-foot
bed of high grade zinc ore, on
which drifting is now being done,
preparatory to erecting mill to
clean the ore. The formation
opened up by the work done at
this mine, demonstrates the ex-
tension of the same rich ore bed
of conglomerate formation which
the Newland mine has to the
west of this lease.
What promises to be one OF the
biggest miues in the camp is the
diggings being opened up by the
Heap.O'Brien Mining Co., south
of the Big Eighty lease of the
Sunburst Mining Co., where a
thirty-foot face of lead and zinc
ore IL being opened up by the
above company in a systematic
manner, having in view the in
stallation of a modern milling
plant to handle a large volume,
and to contain the best apparatus
to save the ore when milled.
