From Route z.

A new derrick is being built
on the old Cockleburr shaft on
the Abrams lease.
Parties have leased II 1.2
acres south of the $3.50 shaft
and expect to begin sinking a
new shaft soon.
Building new mills, remodel
ing old ones, new derricks going
up all over the camp. The ring
of hammers mingling with the
popping of gas engines all speak
loudly.
Tusing & Son have moved a
boiler and steam hoist onto their
propertp. known as the Mascot,
on the Red Eagle land. They
have another shaft on the Abrams
land and have made several good
turn-ins from it.
Abrams and Will Grimes are
visiting the miners, renewing
old friendships and making new
ones among the prospectors.
The writer interviewed the
drill men who passed through,
making their way to the Dar-
denne land, where they have a
large contract for drilling on the
Red Feather.
Among the rich strikes made
lately one was made on the Qua
paw Black Hawk land. There
have been several drill holes put
down and only one blank. One
proved up a rich deposit of sill
cate. Another showed a ten
foot run of lead at 81 feet. The
so x so is on this ground and GER
taiuly has a fine lead mine.
Henry White and ]. B. Bryant
have a new shaft down As feet,
a new derrick and horse holster.
We understand L. M. Blanton
has let a contract for two or
three drill holes to be put down
on his land. This is on the Qua
paw Black Hawk land and was
called the Paola.
]. B. Bryant and Chas. Dawes
made a trip to Joplin and brought
back a new gas engine and pump
to drain their ground. They
had already re-cribbed the shaft
and built a new derrick. They
are beating the water a foot an
hour, and hope to be in the
ground this week. This is just
west of the famous Lancaster,
one of the show places of the en-
tire camp.

Strenuous Tines.

Last Saturday morning about
; O'Clock the gas was off in Bax-
ter Springs. and IL was of all
day and until about 8 o'clock in
the evening" Good housewives
we're forced to cook their meals
out of doors, aud most Of the
men who had business uptown
took their meals wherever thev
could get them. Todd of the
Skillet Cafe" was 80 busy all
day he did not have time to beat
his tin pan. The hotels were
over-run. and people had one
deuce of a time.
But strange to say people did
not do any strenuous kicking.
All took the matter good natured-
ly for everybody was doing 1t, "
that is to say all we're in the
same boat.
On top of il all, there was no
lights, because the plant is run
with gas engine.
The weather was not cold, but
people thought it was, because
they had no fires. A very few
people had coal or wood fires, but
the gas has always been so de.
pendabable that very few people
do not use it.
A lot of people cooked out
doors and just camped around,
and had quite an outing.
I'VE never miss the water till
the we'll runs dry" So 1t was
with the gas. We never realized
what sort of a blessing we had
until we did not have it.
1t was the first serious trouble
Baxter people have ever had
with the gas, and they are not
sore, but a great many of them
are fixed for future trouble be-
cause they bought coal oil lamps
and some have bought oil stoves
The break in the main line
was in Coon creek. a stream neal
Coffeyville. where a rush oi
water from an unprecedented
rain broke the eighteen-inch
main.
But all is lovely now.

circles, the occasion Oeing the
Official visit Of the Grand Matron,
Mrs. Myrtle W. Suit, of Topeka.
Mrs. Suit was accompanied by
Mrs. Elizabeth Magic, p. G. NJ,
present Grand Treasurer.
The Grand Officers were enter
tanned at the beautiful home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Barnes.
As evening approached il was
feared that there would be no
lights nor FIRE owinS to a wash
out in the gas line, but the o. E.
S. knows no stop for weather nor
disappointments, and being ad-
vocates of preparedness (?) had
arranged for temporary light
and heat, and the spacious
Masonic Hall was soon filled with
members and visitors.
Before the hour for meeting
had arrived, these troubles had
been adjusted and in the seem
ing increased brilliancy of the
lights, warmth and good cheer
which pervaded the rooms the
forebodings of the early evening
were forgotten.
Mrs. Barnes, W. NJ, presided
over the meeting with grace and
dignity.
The distinguished visitors were
warmly welcomed and accorded
the honors due their official
station. The degree work of the
order was given, Mr.. and Mrs.

dress of the Grand Matron.
Those who failed to hear this,
missed a grand treat indeed. 1t
was a marvel in beauty of word
and sentiment, and was listened
to with wrapt attention and
interest with those present.
Mrs. Magic, whom we all love
to honor and revere, addressed
the chapter in her usual happy
manner, greatly pleasing her
hearers.
A unanimous vote of thanks
aud appreciation was given the
Grand Officers for their presence,
their splendid addresses and
instruction; also for their COM
mandatory remarks, the Grand
Matron having pronounced the
work of our Chapter as perfectly
rendered.
Mrs. Anna B. Shuts, P. NJ, in
a very neat speech, presented
the Grand Matron with a beauti.
full cut glass compete and Mrs.
Magic a cut glass olive dish.
Each responded fittiugly, grac'
iously thanking the chapter fol-
the gifts.
Short addresses were made by
Mr.. Waggoner, W. P, Mr.. and
Mrs. Pinson of Galeua, and
Others.
/ At the close of the meeting a
vury delightful social hour was
enjoyed in the banquet room,
where a dainty and aspetizing
lunch was served by the o. E. s.
club, an auxiliary to the Chapter,
and which, by the way, has be-
come quite famous in Masonic
and o. E. S. circles for its ex'
cellent work in this line.
All voted this as one of the
most pleasant and successful
meetings ever held by the Chap
ter.
Mrs. Suit left on an early train
for Girard, where she will visit

Gravel road converts are very
numerous since the fine road to
the west of town has been built.
Many of the farmers have signi-
fed a willingness to keep the
road in shape along their prop
critics. If they do this it will be
the means of having a good road
for 4 long time. While out on
that road last Sunday afternoon
we noticed that the gravel has
been washed of in three places
between the Mount Hope school
house and Blue Mound. Itseems
to rs that the road overseer
should fix those places at once.

AUCTION BULLETIN
Trade MARI Reg. U. S. Pat. OFF.

Selling Furniture, all we can get, at
every sale, we never fail to get over
our estimate on any lot offered. In
fact we doubt very much the prob
ability of flooding the market with
good furniture, as we have more
buyers than ever before for Furni'
ture and Household effects, whole
sale dealers attend each sale, and
il is quite evident that for your own
use a little higher price can be paid
than that offered by dealer who
buys to sell again at profit, but the
demand is steady, and what we be-
lieye and preach is self-eyident,
that the only way to sell Furniture
that has been used is at the Homo
lulu Auction Rooms. We quote Mr.
Benson as follows:
"The best offer had for my Fur.
niture was less by one-third what
realized through the Honolulu Auc-
tion Rooms by ], S. Bailey.
