Bio Mill TO Build.

Chas. w. Craney has returned
from a successful business trip
east. He tells us work on the
Missions big mill is going to
commence very soon. The new
mill will have a capacity of 1000
tons in 20 hours, or more than
1000 tons per day. 1t will be the
biggest mill in the entire lead
and zinc district. And the build
ing of this mill is going to put
the Baxter Springs district on
the map in big letters.

Miami camp is attracting much
attention on account OF the great
richness of its ores and the amount
of prospecting that is being done
there.
At the Golden Hen the drifting
is showing up the same formation
as the surrounding leases. This
lease joins the Buckeye on which
Webb City parties are building a
mill.
J. w. Barnes, who has lease
from the Baxter Royalty Co. made
a big drill strike, just to the east
of the Miami Yankee which shows
IRE that will run 20 per cent zinc.
This is the third strike Mr..
Barnes has made on this compa-
ny's lands during the past three
weeks. The Miami Yankee is
Jumping the same grade of ore
On the dump that Barnes found in
mis- drillings. the development and
drilling being on adjoining leases.
The Eastman Investment Com
pany started up its big mill on
the Abrams land this week. MIR.
Lakewood who has charge of this
property informs us that the re-
cent development has proven very
satisfactory and the saving effect
ed has increased materially over
previous operations. A test OF
the tailings is being made which
| is being watched BY many OF the
operators in the camp with much
interest.
Mr.. Irvine has been put in
charge of the underground work
It the 81 Mine and with his ex-
perience and ability this proper
ty should be put into the produc.
| ing list at once. 1t is estimated
this lease has 200 tons of zinc con-
centrates in its upper working,
over the water level and this will
be mined at once, which will save
the work of pumping while the
water is so strong in the lower
workings.
The Hawkeye is breaking all
records on its production Of lead
the past week. The property
always showed a large percentage
of lead in its concentrates, but
the past week the lead formation
| in the west drifts has opened up
the full face of the big drifts and
the mill is turning out sixty per
cent of its concentrates being
lead. The fact that lead is so
much higher in price than zinc
makes this fact look very good to
the Hawkeye Company.
A strike of rich zinc and lead
was made in the best drift OF
shaft no. 2 on the Sunburst lease
the past week. The face OF ore
has opened up to II feet in thick
ness and indications are that it
will still show a larger face as the
development goes on. tits a ques'
ton whether this new strike Is
not an extension of the run of ore
on which the Good Luck is work
ing at the present time and which
is showing the richest zinc ore yet
developed in the camp. The

large blocks of free ore from it,

made to the north, northeast am

MILL AT MISSION
Largest in District.
Twelve Hundred Tons in TWEEN
ty-four Hours.

The management of the Mis-
sion Mining Company has just
completed arrangements that In
sures the erection of a large mod
ern concentrating plant on its
most valuable property in the
Baxter uapaw camp. The big
mill, on which work will COM
mence within the present month,
is to be built on an exhaustive
plan, so as to recover the values
which have heretofore been get
ting away in the fines and shines.
The underground developsment
of this mine has been carried on
for the past four years, with this
object in mind, to prepare the
property properly for the delivery
of a large tonnage of ore as soon
as a big millage could be enstall-
ed. This shows the far-sighted
business judgement of the sue
cessful operator, in providing am
ole underground development,
which adds so much to the in
trinsic value of a mine, and which
in most cases is overlooked BY
parties who fail to understand
what it means, and only judge
the value of a mine by what it
has on top of the ground. This
important feature has been well
provided for by the management
of the Mission, and now that the
final arrangements have been
completed for the big millage 1t
will demonstrate how valuable
the big underground development
on which so much money, time
and labor has been expended, is
to the property.
This property has thirty-five
lrifts opened up in all directions
from its three shafts, all in ore,
showing rich faces and sides OF
lead and zinc 30 feet in thickness
and stand without an equal in the
entire Southwestern district for
extent and uniformness of the
ore bed.
The immense quantity of ore
blocked out, ready for mining in
this property, has been the adj
niration of all experienced mill
ing operators and engineers who
lave had the good fortune and
opportunity to visit and examine
its workings. With such favor
able conditions to start its big
mill on, the future of the Mission
Mining Company is assured, and
10 doubt that it will prove to be
III its most sanguine friends have
expected of it.
The present mill on the prop
:rty was started Monday, and is
low in full operation, putting the
underground in shape to receive
he new installation, as a new
system will be put in under
ground, in order to deliver the
tonnage to the new mill.
The successful installation and
operation of this big mill will be
of vast Importance to the whole
district, as it will demonstrate,
once for all, the wisdom of hand
ling these lead and zinc ores in a
large volume, thereby reducing
the cost of mining and milling
per ton to the minimum, adding

The fact has been so thorough

be wondered at, that 1t has not

which will no doubt prove the
wisdom of the innovation.

and as many more sympathtzers pres ent. There Is no doubt. but that the miners respect the military. The or ders of the officers of the citizen sol diers has been respected at all time. There Is no doubt but that the strikers have little regard for the armed special deputies and the clashes in each in- sstance have been between these spe< cials and the miners The thinking people of Birmingham are divided in their sympathies. None of them coun- tenance disorder. but 1t Is frequently expressed that the deputies have been over-hasty in pulling their triggers. There are affidavits made that in their reports the deputies have exaggerated their cause for opening fire. Sheriff Higdon and his chief deputy, Major Lucien Brown. have been very active and careful but they cannot be at every point at once and the special deputies have been hastily recruited. In addi- tion, some of the men sworn in are from every section of the State. men known as crack shots and as willing to shoot. Even among the most con- servative business element in Birming- ham, the advent of the militia and the retirement of the deputies would be welcomed. Birmingham is unanimous that the strike could come at no more inopportune time. And Birmingham realizes that there are two sides to the controversy. But as yet, business Birmingham has made no effective ef- fort to patch up the differences between the warning factions.
 Cause of Strike.
 The situation is this: Tn 1904 the furnace operators refused to sign the union scale. A strike was precipated. the operators won the strike The union was practically shattered in the entire district. although the commer- cal operators signed the scale In April of this year the commercial op- orators declined to sign the scale. Immediately reduction of 10 cents a ton was announced in the pay of min CTS for both furnace and commercial companies. The shops were open but the cut in wages and the fact that the companies have not been giving the men steady employment. added strength to the grievances of the min CTS. Non-union men fiocked to the unions standard. A strike was or dered. The strikers created disorders. The deputy sheriffs were sent to the scene in numbers. The deputy sheriffs and the strikers were antagonized and the troubles. the tragedies and the bloodshsd of Thursday and Friday re- suited.
