northeastern Minnesota. Chisholm,
one of the splendid cities of the Me-
saba range, has been totally destroy
ed by destructive forest fire, which
swept over a large portion of ST..
Louis county. Every home and busi-
ness house of that community is
burned and 5000 people have been
rendered homeless, the property loss
amounting to millions of dollars.
Early reports indicate also the total
destruction of the mining locations
of Shenandoah, Hartley and Pills
bury. The number Of people rend-
cred homeless will reach $4,000 and
vast tracts of agricultural lands have
also been devastated.
This disaster is without parallel
in the history of Minnesota, and in
view of the appalling calamity, |
appeal to the generosity of the peo-
pie of Minnesota for liberal aid ,and,
owing to the great necessity, ask that
this assistance be complete as posi-

Duluth, Sept. 6-After destroying
the town of Chisholm on the Mesaba
range and badly damaging towns in
several O. the northern Minnesota
counties, as we'll as in Douglas coun-
ty, in northern Wisconsin, the var
ious forest fires which have been
raging for several days have been
placed under control or entirely ex-
tinguished, and if the wind does not
change soon. the probability is that
further damage will not be great.

MUST Be STOPPED.

II has reached the ears of the
NRws that Baxter Springs is be-
coming infested with a bunch Of
tin horn gamblers. We also hear
that two or three victims have
been Cleaned" recently by the
tinhorns. We do not know
whether or not this is true, but
we are going to try our very best
to find out, and il it is true, we
propose to give all of the details.
To our mind the most despisable
cuss on earth is a tin horn gam
bier. He is menace to good So
ciety, and preys only on those
who have not sence enough to
leave another mans game alone.
Baxter Springs does not need
the tinhorn gambler. He must
either leave the town or quit his
business while he remains here.

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

The first of the week we mailed
"a great many statements Of ac-
count to delinquent subscribers.
With each statement we sent an
explanation as to why it is neces-
for them to pay up. A great
many have settled, and a great
many have not.
1t is absolutely necessary that
subscribers settle up right
away, as We propose to comply
with the recent order of the post
Office department regarding de-
linquent subscribers.
We regret that it is necessary
to insist upon a settlement at
once, but such is the case, and we
believe that our subscribers will
come to the front and help us
comply with the order.
!. If you have received a state
ment of account and have not
settled we are charitable enough
to believe you have merely neg
lected the matter, and will clear
the matter up soon.

The modern safety razor is GER
tainly a convenience. Any man
can use one. They are econo-
mical, too. A shave costs COM
paratively nothing, and the time
occupied need not be more than
five to eight minutes under any
circumstances. If you doubt these

The M. X. & T. starts up this
week, after a shut down of sew
eral weeks.
A gang of workmen ID busy at
the Western MIXING Company's
mill getting it ready for operas
ton.
The Good Luck is preparing
plans for its new mill, which
will be installed as soon as spring
opens.
With the rapid raise in the
price of zinc and lead ores. the
Newlands mill will start up again
as well as a great many other
properties which have been down
during the tight money period.
J. C. Bryner & Son, who are
sinking on the Baxter Royalty
Co.'S land, say they are getting
good lead ore at the forty-foot
level, as well as some fine ore in
the shallow workings on the
same lease.
The Common-Law has been
running steadily and has its bins
full of high grade zinc ore. Sink
ing the mill shaft has been com.
pleted and a big stope is now be-
ing taken up, which extends over
all the drifts.
The Heap-O 'Brien is making
fine progress on its shaft on the
Sweeney lease and Mr.. Heap ex-
poets to be able to have sufficient
underground development done
by May LIST to justify the compa.
ny in building large mill.
The Dark Horse and Isley
combination is clearing away the
debris from the old mill site pre-
paratory to starting the erection
of a new mill where the old one
stood. The underground devel'
opment is going on steadily, with
fine results.
The Big Jack shaft on the
Sweeney lease has made a good
showing since taking up the de.
velopment on its shaft and got
ten to point that a mill is nee
essary to mill its ore. Plans are
now being drawn. for a large mill
which will be started at once.
Mr.. Cooley, manager of the
Micawber, reported to his compa'
ny last week that he had . Jack
mine" and a big one at that. as
he had struck into the main ore
bed. showing some of the finest
zinc ore yet found in the camp.
He is much elated over the find,
and is pushing the work to keep
the mill going.
At the Mission the big ore bins
show the results of its operators,
as they are all heaped up with
zinc and lead. Additional bins
are being arranged for, which
will hold upward of 500, OOC
pounds of concentrates. With the
prices going up the management
feels that it cannot make money
faster than to pile up the ore,

Additional Nine News.

The Lancaster mill has proven
to be a most successful ore saver,
and with the additional concern
trating table and new boiler now
being installed this property will
make remarkable showing. The
immense bed of rich ore which II
has already proven will keep 1t
going for many years.
The latest mill in the camp to
commence business is the Vir-
ginia, west of the Mission. This
mill has been installed with many
new features in it, among which
is the Double Automatic" Foust
Bros. jig, which has an enormous
capacity, and is making a fine
record for cleaning the ore. This
is a thing that has long been
wanted in the zinc and lead fields,
a jig capable of handling a large
volume of dirt and at the same
time making a good separation.
This property is in condition to
make a most favorable showing,
as the underground work has
been carried on to such an extent
as to be able to supply ample dirt
to keep the big mill going stead
lily.
Two of the drilling rigs which
have been working on the Sun
burst big Forty" lease have
been laid off and the third one
which is just finishing the eigh-
tenth hole on this forty acre
tract, will be laid off also when
this hole is completed, as the ore
bed has been thoroughly pros
pected, enabling the management
to intelligently locate the proper
place for the sinking of its big
working shaft, which will be the
largest shaft yet sunk in the
camp. This shaft is to be 6 feet
wide by Is feet long, in the clear,
which will give ample room for
two large five-ton balance skips,
and three-foot manway for air
pipes, water mains and ladder.
This shaft will be sunk to the
2O0-foot level at which point the
bottom of the ore bed has been
determined. Work on this sink.
ing will be started at once and a
large steam sinking outfit will be
placed in position as fast as it
can be done. Monday of this
week the company closed con-
tract with J. C. Bryner, a most
reliable shaft sinker, to sink the
air shaft on this same lease,
which will be to the northwest of
the big working shaft about $50
feet. Mr.. Bryner started on this
work Tuesday and will push it to
completion.

Interesting Items of News From
the Best Lead and Zinc Min
ing Camp in the World.

A few small sales OF ore were
made from the Baxter Springs
camp last week. They were as
follows: A. W. Abrams land,
So, $50 pounds of zinc and 1870
pounds of lead; Iowa and Okla
homa Co., 5160 pounds of lead
and ]. w. Watson $3.50 pounds
of lead.
Ben Brooks, manager of the
3F, reports that he has contract
ed the lower level out to bunch
of miners and that he is getting
excellent reenlts from same. This
is new thing in this camp and
is being watched by other opera
tors with much interest. The 3F
is making a good grade of ore,
and quite a nice lot of it each
day. This property is now work.
ing steadily, with excellent re-
suits.
We understand the Eastman
Investment Company has made
arrangements with Mr.. Hack
wood of Flat Rivrr, Mo-, to take
charge of its White Eagle mill
and install such new machinery
as will be necessary to make the
best saving of its ores. This is
a fine property and no doubt I'M
der the able management of Mr..
lakewood, who has made so
many successes during his exper-
fence in the western mines, as
we'll as in Eastern Missouri, it
will prove to be one of the BAN
ner properties of the south camp.
Mr.. Bell and associates, whoj
have taken a suitcase on the.
Hobo, have made an extraordina-'
lrily rich strike in the northeast
drift, within a few feet of the
south line Of the Sunburst lease.
The face of zinc and lead is
about eight feet in thickness and
runs very high in metal. With
two men only working in this
drift last week they marketed
seven tons of free ore which runs
better than SO per cent. This
turnin is in addition to the min
ing ore they have sorted out,
which still remains on the dump.
Shaft No. ? on this property is
to be sunk to the ore bed, as the
drillings showed ore which was
as rich as the ore at No. l.
Joe Kramer arrived Monday
evening, after a sick spell at his
home, to start up the Kramer
Morse mine, which is on the Bax-
ter royalty Company land. 1t
will be run to its full capacity in
the future. This property has
made a very fine showing and is
imposition to turn out ore at the
rate of at least one ton per hour.
A large per centage is high grade
lead. Mr.. Kramer thinks SO well
of his present diggings that his
company is making plans to make
other developments on this same
forty acres, as the drillings have
proven so much ore that its pres
ent mill is only capable of hand
ling a very small part of it.
