That the proposed electric '1ne
can be built is a fact. If the
people of Columbus, Galena, Bax-
ter Springs and Miami will do
what will be asked of them, work
can be commenced on the road at
a very early date, and it can all
be completed by fall.
The projectors of the enter
prise plan to build from Galena
to Miami, via RivertOn, Baxter
Springs, LincOlnville, Hatten-
Vile. From the north side of
Brush creek it is proposed to
branch off and run a line to Col
umbuS.
The building of this road
would connect up the Rogers and
Helm systems, one at Galena
and the other at Columbus, and
it would also be the means of be-
ing connected with the line which
is going to be built from Cherry
vale to Columbus. At Columbus,
Oswego, and in the townships
through which the road would
pass from Cherryvale to Colum-
bus bonds are going to be voted,
but nothing of this kind will be
asked for the proposed line. The
four cities mentioned will be
asked to subscribe a moderate
sum for stock in the company
The balance of the money will
Ibe secured in New York, in fact
two houses have signified will
ingness to take the bonds of the
road, and one of the houses is
particularly anxious to do so.
The details of the matter will
be placed before a committee tC
be selected by the commercial
club, and a like committee from
each of the other towns will also
have the matter in hand.
The bond houses require, OF
! will require, that a portion Of
the money be raised by the towns
interested, then they will fur
nish the balance.
This matter must be carried
to successful finish. 1t is easy
to do it. The projectors of the
enterprise have brought the mat
ter up from the grass roots to its
present tangible shape, and now
the towns interested must get up
in the collar and help carry the
scheme through. 1t will be a
big thing for Baxter Springs to
have the mines to the south OF
US hooked onto the town, and il
will also be a mighty fine thing
to have the other connections.
You have all said Baxter Springs
ought to and must have an cleo
trio line. It can be had-it must
be had.
AS stated above, the matter
will be placed in the hands of a
committee from the commercial
club.

Oh country Enough OF develop
ment has been done at the Red
Wing to justify a mill, and we
this is the intention
of the parties interested to build
a mill on this property at once.
Several shafts surrounding this
lease are awaiting the erection
of a custom mill which Mr.. Rice
says his mill will supply.
The Oklah Mining Company
has been loading out its big pile
of ore during the past week and
will finish this week. This is
the largest sale of ore ever made
in the Baxter camp, being from
the Baxter royalty Co lands,
consisting of six large cars, bring
ing approximately $780,. A new
Is" Carterville crushet is to be
installed to take the place of an
1S" crusher of the Roger make
which has proven unsatisfactory.
This is causing the mill to be
down a few days this week.
The natural gas main has
been laid through the camp and
will be completed from the wells
at Wann Oklahoma to Joplin
this week. The testing will be
made and gas turned on during
April. What this means, to this
camp, can only be slightly APP
preciated except. blythe operators,
who know what saving it will
effect and the worry it will re-
lieve.
The Mascotte mine was put
into operation Saturday last. A
fine deposit of ore is showing up
in all the drifts that are opened.
The ore will be treated at the
Memphis mill for the present
until enough of underground de-
velopment has been done to JUS
tify a mill on the MaScotte prop
erty itself.
One of the most consistent pro-
ducersis the Heap-O'Brien prop
erty. Ever since the mill has
been completed, it has run stead
lily. This is an excellent tribute
to good management and COM
petent mill construction, which
when put to the test delivers the
ore.
Advice from Mr.. W. B. Fouts
of Wichita says that work will
be started at the Old Abe mine
this week. A large development
is ready at this mine to supply
all the ore the mill can handle.
1t is an excellent property and
should be in operation.
The big Mission mill is rum
ming. steRdily with satisfactory
results. As soon as the ground
is fixed to reach the big shaft an
ample supply, of rich ore will be
noisted to keep the mill going
