Distance lends enchantment
and it was never more plainly ex-
emplilied than in the case of
miners leaving this field to try
to find more lucrative employ
mcnt elsewhere.
Mr.. Mcintyre Of Joplin is put
ting the Hannibal g. St. Joseph
into shape to join the producers
of the camp. This is a most ex-
cellent property and it looks
good to see it going into opera
tion again.
The largest pile Of high grade
ore yet seen on the Big Forty
lease, is now at shaft No 4,
where ]. w. Barnes is develop
ing this property AS the de-
'velopment progresses the ore BED
increases. A big mill will be
necessary to take care of the
amount OF ore demonstrated OF
this lease.
A great deal has been said
and written about the great gold
fields of Alaska, and there is nc
doubt but that country is enor-
mously rich in gold and other
resources, but when you COM
pare the gold output, about
which we hear so much, with the
outpat in dollars ard cents OF
this southwestern district, of lead
and zinc, it surely must make us
appreciate what we have here,
right at home, where none OF
the hardshipS are to contend
with, and where there is no isola-
ton or Inconvenience to endure
compared with those encountered
III that far off land. The out
Tut of this southwestern dis
trict compares most favorably
with those of the great gold and
silver districts of the country,
and when the conditions are COM
pared this lead and zinc district
has by far the best of it.

Old Mark Gone.

The old vault in the Rardin
building. southwest corner Of
Military and Neosho streets, has
,een torn out, and the tearing
out of it means the marking of q
whole lot of history. In the
.eventieS the James and Younger
boyS robbed the bank which was
that building, and got away
nth considerable sum of money.
The late H. r. Crowell was rum
ing the bank at the time. The
building was used for a bank for
about thirty-five years, first by
one man and another.
Perhaps the worst robbery ever
,erpetrated in the bank was when
the Warmers, who were in the
,anking business there, failed.
When the vault and safe were
opened they were found to con.
ain about $50 in Mexican money
md mutilated coins. The bank
lad been fairly Quilted. The de-
,ositorS, out of the assets, were
BILE to realize only seven cents
N the dollar.
After the failure of the bank
BAXTER Springs was without a
financial institution for a short
time, but another bank was or
ganized, and the old vault was
again used. When the Baxter
National Bank bought out the
Praders bank it occupied the
room until it built its present
nice building, and after the Bax'
ter National moved into its own
building The Baxter State Bank
was organized and moved into
the building where the old vault
was. The Baxter State Bank
built a building of it's own, and
or a time the building with its
old vault remained vacant. Roy
Labadie concluded it would be a
good place to locate a barber
shop, but of course he did not
need the vault. BE quit BUSH

again. 1t is now being fixed up

The Big Chief is being put in

J. C. Bryner & Sons are down
As feet with shaft No ? on the
Joanna lease.
Work at the Rhoades and Sull-
ivan shaft is going on steadily,
and a new outfit is being erected
TO clean the ore as it is mined.
The Big Mission mill is start
ing up this week after a period
of adjustment, which has put II
in fine shape to make a steady
production.
Several important deals are
under consideration at the present
time and it is expected'that many
of them will be closed in the
near future, in which case this
camp will have a lively summer
of it.
Newton Cox has taken a lease
on the F. F. F. mine, and will
proceed to mine the rich shallow
ore in this ground. The ore is
found at a depth of only twenty
feet from the surface, it being
an extension of the ore bed en-
countered where the open cut
was made.
Price OF. zinc ore declined to a
$40 base during the past week.
This will result in the closing
down of manysmills and will cut
down the production to the mini
mum, which should result in adj
vancing the price. Lead is
steady at $50 per ton.

For Short Weights.

James Scriaema, an Assarian,
who claims Joplin as his home.
was arrested in this city last Sat-
urday by Deputy Sheriff Horton
on a warrant charging him with
giving short weights in the sale
Of apples. The state law says As
pounds shall be a bushel of APP
pies, yet tile apples Scriaema
sold only weighed 81 pounds to
the bushel, and a peck would
hardly weigh eight pounds.
Then, too, Scriaema has two
sizes of what he is pleased to cal!
peck measures. If his customer
looked easy the small measure
was used, but if the customer
looked as if he knew a peck wher
he saw it the larger one would
be used. Scriaema has been COM
ing here quite often the past
winter and this spring, but Hor-
ton got onto his little game and
gathered him in. Being arraign-
ID in Justice Jones court Scriae-
ma pleaded guilty and was fined
five dollars and costs, amounting
to eight dollars and thirty cents.

the common remark heard from
patrons after seeing Fred Poole's
Live Wire Musical Comedy, The

one performance in Baxter on
Friday night, May 6. The show

plete theatre under alluring folds
of canvas. The stage and light

source of wonder. They carry
opera chairs and special scenic
equipment. The Jolly Jack Tar

not noise makers. The orchestra
IS eighteen karat and the Co

manner that will keep you on

ance is exceptional in both guam

of music, opera, comedy, vaude-
vile and girls. Girls are the
principal attraction of any music
al comedy, and the entertainment
is first, last and all the time

discloses a bevy Of pretty and

hundred feet above the sea. We enjoy
the cooling breeze as it is waited along
by the hand of God. We have had to
hunt for cover for the last few nights,
but it is getting along towards sun
down with summer, and this reminds
older people very forcibly of the end
ing of this life, and helps very mater
tally in preparing for that reverend
ing life, where there are no heart
aches nor good byes. Why don't all
men and women stop just for one mo-
ment and ponder and ask themselves
the question: If should go out into
never-ending eternity, what would
that ending beS May God in His
great wisdom and omnipotent love,
show all the sinners of earth the plain
path of duty that they may see and
take heed before they pass to that
state from whence there is no return

NEW SOURCE OF
MINERAL WEALTH
State GeOIogist Ashley Finds
0OIithic Limestone in
Grundy.

State Geologist George H. Ashley
returned Thursday morning from a
brief prospecting trip to Grundy and
adjoining counties. He brought back
with him some fine samples of oolithic
limestone, which he found in the vi
cinity of Tracy City and Sewanee.
This is the famous Bedford lind. J
stone, and of the same kind as the
Bowling Ky. limestone, both of
which are in much demand for build
ing purposes The samples were OBJ
tanned from bluffs near the top OF
formations of the palezoic age. The
position in which the limestone was
found is not suitable for quarrying,
but DIR. Ashley has hopes OF finding
outcroppings of the stone further to
the north, where it can be gotten at
with ease.
Should the stratum be located near
the surface the find will prove OF great
value to the owner of the land and to
the state. The limestone rock is un-
stratifed and can be taken out in al
most any form or size. This renders
it of much value in buildings.
According to the census reports, the
value of this oolithic limestone quar-
ried for building purpose was over
three millions of dollars in 1907, a
gain of 300 per cent. in seven years.
The price obtained ranges from Is
cents to $3.50 cubic foot, dependent
on the size of the rough blocks. If
any considerable quantity of the rock
caa be located near the surface it is
easy to see that mine of wealth will
be opened-Nashville Tennessean.

plicated methods and mechanisms by
which they are now prosecuted, we be-
lieve this doctrine under many circum-
stances deprives the employe of that
protection to which he is justly entitl-
cd, and we therefore recommend such
modification thereof by legislation as
will meet the changed conditions un-
der which the laborer tolls.
CONVICT LABOR.
81. We believe that it is unjust
that one industry should be especially
singled out to bear the burden of COM
petition with convict labor, and that
such competition should be SO distribu-
ted that no industry would be materi-
ally affected thereby. We therefore
condemn the extensive operation of
coal mines by convict labor, where the
coal thus mined is thrown upon the
market already supplied in direct COM
petition with coal mined by free la
Dor, and such mines are driven into
idleness; the employees are forced to
accept the minimum wages. We also
condemn the unbusiness-like manner
in which the state mine is conducted,
whereby it is run at a loss to the
state, while at the same time no effort
is made to protect other operators from
the baneful effects of this unjust and
unnatural competition. We would ia
vor the employment of large number
of the states convicts in the building
of the states highway from Memphis
ON the west to the Virginia line and
Bristol on the east.
REELFOOT LAKE CLAIMS.
Is. We believe that all private
claims to Reelfoot lake should be ex-
tinguished by the state; that no
grounds or private rights therein to
private individuals should be allowed,
and that it should be held by the state
as a public game and fish preserve.
TEMPERANCE.
SO. We reaffirm the declaration of
the republican party of Tennessee, and
pledge no backward step on the subject
of temperance, and in opposition to
the open saloon, and the baneful in
fiuences and power of the saloon in the
politics of state, and condemn the
democratic admins tration for it's fail
ure to enforce the laws upon the stat
ute books and the reckless use of the
pardoning power, whereby state of
open disreg ard and defiance Of law has
been encouraged and permitted to pre-
vail in large portions of the state.
HONEST ELECTIONS.
80. We rejoice that the public con-
science has become aroused to the i'm
portance of honest elections. The re-
publican party stands for an honest
ballot, honest count of the ballots cast
and an honest certifcation of results
i'm all elections, And we desi1e to ack-
nowledge our obligations and thanks
to the last legislature for the progress
made in the effort to give honest cleo
tiOns.
"11. We denounce the platform
threat of the present state administra
tion to repeal our present election law,
and charge that it is made for the pur-
