of W. d. Mahon. president OF the Inter

The first trade unions were organized
in 1875. Then men were working from
sunrise to sundown in the summertime and
by candle light at both ends OF the day
in the winter. The constitution had been
in effect for thirty-five years. This con-
stitutOn guaranteed 10 these people the
right Of life. liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. Even then children were slav-

men who laid out the city Of Washington
were paid at the rate Of so a year. Then
the union came
The employers said that the unions
would destroy the young republic, but they
didn't. They haven't yet. BY 1850 the
wages OF the working people had been in

union hall there were resolutions against

In reference to the street earmen Mr..
Mahon said that sixteen years ago the
average conditions were represented by
sixteen to eighteen hours OF work At from

Standby and Sullivan mining
on the Catholic Forty, under

Co., are taking out some fine ore.
The big strike made a few weeks

A constant stream of zinc con-
centrates are being dumped at
the White Eagle mill, on the
Eastman Investment Co.'S, lease.
Several cars of ore are being
loaded from this property this
week. Shaft No. 2is being de-
veloped with all possible haste,
to add to the output of this prop
erty, as the big deposit of ore is
under the Abrams hill to the
west of the present diggings.
Great activity is being mani

the mill is being put into con-

see this property fall under the
management of Dug White as he
has made a success of all the
mines he has taken hold of and
as this is such a good property
we are sure he will make great
success of it.
John M. Rice is mining some
fine ore at the Red Wing prop.
erty. He has struck into the
main ore body south of the shaft,
it being where he had located a
rich deposit by drilling. Mr..
Rice has done a great deal of
drilling in and around the Red
Wing lease, and some years ago
he took a map and drew a sketch
of how he believed the ore body
formed across the old Sunnyside,
Dark Horse and Isley leases, and
it would seem as though he was
right, as his development in the
Red Wing diggings has proven
up his theory in regard to the
main ore bed.
Mr.. w. M. Kingsley made a
big strike of Lead ore in his
drillings north of the A. w.
Abrams farm, north of this city.
Parties inspecting the cuttings
say they are the best yet found
in this vicinity. This means a
big thing for Baxter Springs, as
it will open up another big camp
to the north of the town. This
puts Baxter in the center of the
best mineral belt of the entire
southwestern district. Mr.. Kings
ley has a large acreage leased in
the neighborhood of his big
strike and will proceed to develop
it at once. He has shown re-
markable faith in his judgement
and this rich find has rewarded
his belief. Great credit is due
him for his persistent effort to
find the metal and we hope it
may extend to all his leases and
make him a millionaire.

Their only reward is public contempt,
