COMMERCE MINING AND ROY.
Atty COMPANY.

This company holds thousands Of
acres Of rich mineral lands under lease
and in fee simple about the town Of
Commerce, Okla, extending north and
east towards Cardin and Picher, and
north into Kansas and beyond the rich
Blue Mound Mining COmpanys hold
ings. The active management Of the
corporation is vested in Messrs. J. +.
Robinson and Geo. L. Coleman, with
general Offices in Miami, Okla. These
gentlemen are the pioneers in zinc
mine development in the Miami, Okla,
district. As early as 1904 these two
sturdy and persevering men were pros
pecting in the LincolnvillO and Qua
paw camp, without any substantial
success. About this time q rumor
came into circulation that some well
driller had found both lead and zinc In
great quantities where he had sunk
we'll about miles north Of Miami.
In hopes Of bettering themselves,
Messrs, Robinson and Coleman moved
their prospecting rig to place near
to the reported find, which proved =
myth, and proceeded to sink hole.
At depth of near 100 feet they found
some rich shines in the drill cuttings.
They put down several holes with
such encouragement that they were
prompted TO SINK shaft and erect
u mill, which was known as the "Old
Chief Nine" This strike was the real
discovery of zinc ore in the Miami
field, and the "Old Chief" was the frat
concentrating plant built in the dis
trict. The first car load Of ore from
this mine was hauled by wagon to
Miami and shipped over the Frisco
railroad to the smelters.
Since 1906 Messrs. Robinson and
Coleman have associated with them
selves other persons and persistently
continued to develop properties, until
today they control several Of the larg-
est and most productive properties in
the field. Their pay roll IS the largset
in the entire district, and the value
of their shipments of concentrates
runs into millions of dollars each year.
Notwithstanding the many calls made
upon Messrs. Robinson and Coleman
in managing the intricate business af-
fairs of their corporation, they find
time to do much for making the work.

durable, and they are considered lib

CENTURY (DOuthat P. o., is one
Of the most important Of the mining
camps in the district, in the amount
Of production and richness Of ore. The
Montreal mine, famous as a bonanza
mine, possibly has done more by the
amount Of. high grade ore produced,
to attract investors to this field than
any other single development. Some
Of the ore from this mine was Of such
high grade and free from impurities
that it could be dumped from the
mine cans directly into the cars for
shipment to the smelters, without be-
ing passed over the screens.
QUAPAW is among the most pros
porous towns in the whole district,
and is located on decided land about
10 miles northeast of Miami and an
equal distance south of the thriving
city of Baxter Springs, Kansas.

elegant business homes, with exten-
sive stocks of merchandise, fine school
building and church privileges to at
tract attention Of persons seeking new
homes in lands having more favorable
climatic conditions.
The future possibilities Of mineral
developments will certainly be an at

BAXTER SPRINGS Ii both an old
and new town-old In that It was q
trading point on the old Fort Scott
and Fort Gibson Military road, and a
gateway into the Indian Territory, be-
fore the civil war. With the advance
Of civilization and the admission OF
Oklahoma into q state, and the en-
tension Of railroads south Of and be-
yOnd, Baxter Springs lost much OF
her former patronage Of cattlemsn and
immigrants on THAR way to and from
the grazing landj Of the great south
west, and ceased to be place Of great
business activity and Importance.
But q change has come about and
Baxter Springs Is again to the front
az commercial and industrial centsr
in advance Of other towns Of the Kan
sas- Oklahoma zinc fields. That min
eral deposits extend on all sides OF
Baxter, and the drills In active oper-
alton are fast locating the rich min
eral deposits, Ii fully proven by the
fact that several Of the largest min
ing organizations have secured hold
ings and leases within the past few
months and are now building mills
and erecting concentrating plants
nearby. Several operators and man.
ayers Of these properties have located
in Baxter Springs and bought or built
fine homes here. Baxter Springs has
5000 population and more will come
If houses are built to accommodate
them.
There are two railroads in active
operation and q third connection al
most completed. The Southwest Mis-
souri, Railroad an interurban from
Joplin, No., is nearing completion,
which will run cars at hourly inter
walls, thus affOrding rapid transpOrta-
tion between the two cities.
The richness Of the mineral deposits,
the surrounding agricultural advan-
tages and business and social at
fractions afforded, all point to the
growth and Importance Of Baxter
Springs as the future metropolis Of
the Kansas Oklahoma zinc fields.

O. M. BILHARz MINING co.

Few better examples of successful
mining concerns can be cited in the
Kansas Oklahoma zinc mining district
than the o. M. Bilharz Mining Com
pany. The leases are about one mile
north of the town of Commerce, Okla,
and consists of two 40-acre tracts, on
which are erected three separate pro-
ducing mills, equipped with the latest
gas and electrical machinery.
Daily capacity of the three plants
is about 600 to 750 tons Of dirt, and
weekly shipments of concentrates is
approximately 45O tons. Safety ap-
pliances are used and sanitary reg
ulations are practiced at each Of the
three plants.
The company is composed of o. M.
Bilharz and v. RakOwsky. The leases
were obtained from Messrs. Church
and Mabon about 18 months since.
No. l mill, the old "Bluebird," has
been in operation for three years. No.
2 mill has been in operation for about
one year and No. 3 produced first
shipment of ore about the middle Of
last June. The mills operate on two
ten-hOur shifts, and underground mine
work is two eight-hour shifts.
Mr.. Bilharz was formerly general
manager Of the Doe Run and st. Joe
Lead Company of Southeastern Mis-
souri,, with headquarters at River
Mines, Mo. His long service Of twen-
ty years with that company renders
him eminently qualified to successful
ly manage large mining interests. Mr..
+. H. Gartung, superintendent Of the
o. M. Bilhartz properties, was former
ly superintendent Of the Leman plants
in the Oklahoma fields.
The workings are at about the 275-
foot level in exceptionally rich ore.
The management is fully awake to the
usefulness of the Safety First" and
First Aid" methods. Sanitary i'm
provements that will make for the bet
terment Of the working conditions Of
their employees always receive due
consideration. Aside from personal
duties in connection with the Bilharz
mines, these gentlemen find time to
take an active interest in all move
ments for general betterment Of min
ing conditions throughout the Kan
sas-0klahoma district.

Admiralty Zinc Company's big pro-
ducers. The owners Of the property
are a group Of Kansas City business
men, with Mr.. s. Power Warren Of
Baxter Springs, Kansas, as general
manager in charge Of the plant.
The capacity of the mill is 750 tons
of dirt each "a hours run. With only
one shift of 8 hours they have been
saving 100 to 125 tons Of high grade
concentrates per week. The mill ID
equipped with the latest type Of ma
chinery, using gas engine power, and
electricity for light. They are mining
at the 220-foot level, with only me-
dium amount of water to handle.
Every effort is made by Manager
Warren to conserve the lives and
limbs of men in his employ, and every
effort is made to protect the men
against disease by observing the
strictest sanitary regulations. Ex-
tensive improvements are being in
stalled which will enable the working
of a second 8-hour shift in the very
near future. Under the careful man
agement of Mr.. S. Power Warren, the
future possibilities of the "Rialto" is
certainly very bright.
MONTREAL MINES.
The Montreal mine is one Of the
richest in the whole Oklahoma-Kansas
field. In fact, none Of the many rich
mines in the famous Cardin-Pic
Century field excels the Montreal in
richness Of ore, much Of which is al
most pure rOsin jack. Large chunke
of almost pure zinc are frequently
taken out and dumped into the bins
ready for shipment without being
passed over the screens.
The owners are principally Can
adams, viz: ]. P. Hefleman, D. L.
Henault, C. Il. Plumb and c. F. Dixie,
who is the general manager in charge.
His concern for the welfare and pro-
lection Of his employees against &C
cidents is evidenced by the Safety
First" devices in use, and sanitary
methods adopted, both underground
and on surface about the plant.
. The mill is Of improved pattern Of
about ESQ tons daily capacity, with
1O-hour shifts, and approximately ESQ
tons concentrates are shipped each
week. The average recovery for the
past IS months has been above 1S per
cent. In early production Of this mine
many cars Of ore was Of such high
grade and 80 pure that it was sent 10
the smelters without being passed over
the screens. In one place In this mine
there was found q cave or opening
which was completely lined on top,

Alkali in Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkaH. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulSif1ed cocoanut. oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, 1ustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months
