news FROM
The MINES.

E. F. Sweeney & Sons are
much pleased with the arrange
ment which they have installed
at their property and which is
working so satisfactorily. Some
of the richest ore in the south
camp is being run at this mill.
The Alabama mine has started
this week. This property has
shown to be the biggest lead
deposit in the camp, together
with a bed of IS feet of zinc ore
underneath. A new mill will be
built on this property this year.
The 81 Mining Co. is running
its mill this week. tits rumored
that this property is to annex
the Little Four lease to the east,
which would add materially to
its holdings and enable it to
keep its mill running contin-
uously.
Chicago Quapaw Mining Co.
is starting the erection OF its
mill on the Julia Stafford
Shapp land, just east of the
Catholic church forty, where 1t
has developed a shaft and has a
large ore dump to start the mill
with.
&c. Bryner, sinking for the
Sunburst Mining Company or
shaft No. 4, is down to the
ninety foot level and is turning
out some very rich zinc ore. 1t
is open ground and the ore bed
has been penetrated for ten feet
so far. The shaft sinking is
verifying the drilling at this
point as far as the sinking has
progressed.
The Old Abe Mill is again
going at full blast and is turn
ing out some very nice ore. The
concentrates from this property
tops the market, the assay show
ing over 60 per cent on all ore
sold so far. Mr.. Brooks, man
ager, mas put this property in
first.class condition and purposes
to run 800 tons per day through
the mill. 1t looks good to see
this mill again producing.
The Good Luck has made ex-
cellent progress on installing its
mill the past week. All the
foundations are completed and
the frame of the mill building
is in place. All the material will
be on the ground this week and
the work will be pushed to COM
pletion during the present week.
This will add another good pro-
Queer to the north camp, which
has been picking up materially
the past month, and which bids
fair to hold its own in amount OF
ore produced against the other
sections.
Hawkeye Mining Co. is turn
ing out its usual amount Of
concentrates each week, and as
its development progresses, its
tonnage is being increased. We
understand that such good pro-
press has been made that a
double shift will soon be put to
work. This property is pushing
rapidly to be the largest mine in
the entire district, as it is now
working AZ feet of ore in all its
south and west drifts. This is
one of the best equipped prop
critics in the field and demon
strates that it pays to install the
best machinery and install it
rightly to start with.
The Myrtle Mining Co. is rum
ming steadily and meeting with
good success. The main ore
body has been encountered which

is proving to be the same as the
% foot face which the Mason
Mining Co. was working at the
time it closed down. This prop
erty is now taxing the capacity
of its mill, and the management
feels the necessity of larger ton
mage, which all the mills in the
South Camp has experienced.
This part of the camp needs
larger mills and it is only a mat
ter of time when 500 to 1000 ton
mills will be the regulation mill
for this section, and the sooner
the operators begin to build on
this scale the sooner will the
camp take its rightful position
in the southwestern district.
The White Eagle mill, on the
Abrams land, is running double
shift on tailings from the ore
previously run before the new
system of treatment was in
stalled. The present sizing
system is proving to be a great
impr ovement in saving the fine
ore, which previously was lost.
The satisfactory solution OF this
item means much to all the
opera tors in the North Camp, as
all the properties have more or
less of this black rock with fully
disseminated zinc ore all through
| it. This property will start up
| its underground workings this
week, and from its past record 1t
will be one of the largest pro-
Educers in the camp. With its
new system working satisfactory
the recovery of the values will
be much enhanced thereby add
ing considerable to the profits in
working the property.
After some adjustment of its
mill, the Big Chief, on the Peter
Clabber land, southwest Of the
Mission mine, has been doing
remarkably well the past week.
This property has a large
amount of development work
done underground which gives
it the advantage over most OF
the new properties started up. 1T
also has large faces of good ore,
a fair percentage of which is
lead, which adds materially to
gross output. 1t being the most
southwesterly property yet put
into commission, it is interesting
to all parties that are developing
in the Baxter-Quapaw and Miami
Camps, as showing the continuity
of the ore-bearing zone in this
direction, which is being so
closely watched by mining men
generally, in order to determine
at the earliest moment, just
where the change in the forma-
ton takes place, between that,
as shown in this field, and the
formation, which is so radically
different, as shown in the Miami
field such a short distance to the
west.
A brand new mill is being
erected on the Lucille Mining
Company's lease, just to the
west of the Mason Mining Co. S
mill on the Frank Buck land.
The foundations are all in, and
material is all on the ground for
the mill building and the ma
chinery is being hauled this
week. This lease has been
thoroughly drilled and the ore
found in all the holes drilled.
The immense showing of thirty
two feet in the west drifts of the
Mason mine are within a short
distance of the east line on this
lease, and verifies the drillings
in this portion of the property.

Another accident occurred at
the Emma Gordon mine near
Miami last week, when a big
boulder fell from behind the
cribbing and struck tub pusher
on the head. It seems the shaft
was sunk in a hurry, and the
cribbing was not properly filled
in behind. The injuries to the
tub man, while pretty painful,
will not prove serious.

telling about a big piano sale
which he is going to pull off in
this city. Mr.. Grantham is
quite a rustler for business, and
has made a big success in this
city. Starting in this city a few
years ago with only about a
wheelbarrow load of goods he
has grown in a business way
until now he has a store which
would be a credit to a town five
times the size of Baxter Springs.
