T. ]. O'Sullivan of the Joplin
Globe was here a few days age
looking around. He thought SO
much of the improvements which
Baxter Springs has been making
that he went home and writ a
piece for his paper, in which he
says:
During TIE pa t six ronths
this city has made the greatest
strides iu the way of civic i'm.
provements that it has ever ex-
perienced in its entire history.
During this time over ten miles
of sidewalk, curbing and gutter
ing has been laid.
Opposition to city improve
ments have been made by a large
part of the population who from
their actions were willing to let
matters stand as they had since
the town was first started. When
the improvement work was first
suggested the opponents of the
movement boasted that the city
fathers would be unable to get
tkeproperstreet and alley corners,
as the stakes which had been
placed thirty years ago had be-
come lost.
County Surveyor Elliot was
then appealed to by the progress
i've element and after nearly a
summer of diligent work he was
able to give the work the right
impetus by relocating the former
boundaries. Since that time the
work has progressed very smooth
~.
During the relocation work
County Surveyor Elliot was put

jome interested persons who kept
moving his stakes which he had

The Big Chief will 60 intocom'
mission Immediately after the
first of the new year.
Underground work at the Mason
mine is opening up in fine shape.
The water has been beaten.
Hicks and a. soc a 'es are now
working Sunburst No 3, and are
dumping quite a lot of fine ore.
The Eastman is running stead
lily with satisfactory results from
the new development in the west
shaft.
A new shaft is being sunk east
of the Heap O'Brien mine, which
is being looked after by ]. o.
Goodwin.
The 81 is again turning out
some very fine ore, and for the
time the mill is running, is max.
ing ore rapidly.
Operations are going on stead
lily at the Old Abe mine, where a
good grade of ore is being put
into the bins each day.
Pumping is being done at the
Virginia mine and as soon as the
water is out the property will be
put into commission for a steady
production.
Spring River mine has been
leased out: to Starchman & Caul-
kins, who are putting machinery
on the ground for further devel-
opment.
A big car of block lead is piled
out at the Joanna, together with
a car of high grade silicate.
Development on this property
continues to show up very well.

Wichita is dumping some mighty
fine ore, which is being taken

done at the S0-foot level in all di-
rections.
Sweeney and Sons are produc.
ing the regular amount of ore
| this week. They are cutting
, now in the richest dirt encounter
in their ground, and the dirt is
growing richer all the time.
Heap-O'Brien development is
being pushed along as fast as
possible, and is proving to be an
excellent mine. Work so far
shows a bed of ore thirty feet
thick and no definite limit to the
width of it has yet been deter
! mined.
LATE Griffith started up the
Omaha property this week, and
proposes to thoroughly prospect
the lease and put the property in
shape for a big production.
This is a very valuable lease, as
is demonstrated by the many good
properties surrounding it.
Chicago-Quapaw mill is all
ready to start up, as soon as the
new well can be completed, which
is to furnish it with the necessary
water for cleaning purposes. In
shaft No 2 rich body of ore has
been encountered, which adds
much to this property.
The Eastman Mining Co. is
making good progress with its
shaft No 1 on the Barnes l ase,
southwest of the Sweeney mill,
on the Frank Buck land. Shaft
No. 2 will be started on the same
lease in the near future, so that
both shafts will be completed at
practically the same time.
Captain Parker reports that his
recommendation for the further
development of the Hawkey.
mine have been approved, and
that the mine will be developed
on systematic plan for the flu
ture handling of a large volume
of dirt at a minimum expense,
which will insure most salts
factory profit.
Two excellent prospects are
laying idle at the present time,
which should prove to be winners
with little development work
done on them, and they are the

land, joining the Heap-O'Brien,

and the Mckinley shaft on the
Catholic forty, next to the Ala
bama, and right south of the
big strikes made by the Big Jack.
The mine which is attracting
the most attention at the present
time, is the Good Luck. Since
its new mill has been put into
commission a steady flow of con-
ceutrates has been kept up, ex-
ceeding over seven tons during
the ten hours run. The past
week has developed a large de-
post under Ike present workings,
which bids fair to snrpass the
rich dirt now being mined at the
present level. This property has
been a money maker from the
start, and as development goes on
it is proving up better. The lead
ground to the west of the mill
shaft has spread. out until it now
is % feet high shows across the
full width of the big western
drift.
The second shaft of the Com
mon-Law Mining Company was
sunk in record breaking time,
and Tom Timothy, who superin-
tended the work, is walking
around with a chip on his Shout
der. He started this shaft the
10th day of October and on the
evening of the 18th of November
the shaft was II feet deep, and
in the biggest ore ever found in
the lead and zinc district. The
shaft is 5 LEX 9 feet iu the clear,
and was sunk in AZ days. Con-
sidering the nature of the ground
we believe this record has not
been beaten. Forty feet of the
ground was as hard as can we'll
be imagined, and it was a fight
of powder and steel against the
ground, and the powder and steel
won out. The shaft is seven feet
into an ore body which is as rich
as cream. The ore is encountered
directly under the hard ground
referred to, and is found in spar
ground. The ore breaks free and
clean from the rock, and is in big
pure chunks. Mr.. Timothy is
very much elated over the strike,
and says he will put the mill in
to commission IN a few days and
that it will run steadily, and he
thinks he is going to make some
record productions. 1t is only
twelve feet from the mill shaft to
a connection with the new shaft,
and the cutting together of the
two will not consume very much

men in Oregon would gladly vote as
their wives asked them to on the
woman suffrage amendment; that
brothers would be willing to vote
according to the wishes of their
mothers or sisters, and that bachelors
would be delighted to give the old
maids a chance to be heard on the
question. The opinions of the hand
full Of unfortunate wTetches who do
not come under any of these classes
would not amount to much, one way
or the other. We still believe that the
men of Oregon would be willing to let
the women vote If they really thought
that the women wanted to vote, and as
long as the law remains as it is, we
know of no better way to give the
women a chance to express their
desires than to pursue the plan sug-
gested in our article last week.

Holy Name Societies Hold Demonstra-

"H. N. S." Societies from Morris
town, Madison, Chatham, Summit
Dover, Morris Palms.. Mendham and
Wharton paraded, nearly every organ
ization having band. The parade
was reviewed by Monsignor Joseph M.
Flynn and other clergymen from a
stand in front of st. Vincent's church.
Following the parade monster
open-air meeting was held on the
church lawn. Judge Thomas A. Davis,
Of Orange, and Father Thomas Ryan,
of Bernardsville, were the principle
speakers.
The Morristown society had nearly
four hundred men in line, led by Presi-

tunate as to secure the twelfth regi-
ment band, OF New York. The organ
ization, which was the finest in the
line. was headed by Sergeant Major J.
