To Music Lovers

Miss Florence Pfremmer,
teacher of piano and harmony,
solicits pupils for the fall and
winter study season, and for
credentials presents the following
letter from her teacher at Beth
any college, Lindborg, Kas:
TO Whom 1t May Concern:-
Miss Florence Pfremmer has
finished both the Diploma and
the Degree courses in Piano,
Theory and Musical History at
Bethany Conservatory, Linds-
borg, KS. Her work has been Of
a high order in every respect.
She is a talented young lady, a
fine pianist and accompanist,
having appeared frequently in
recital and in the year 1867
acted in the capacity of official
accompanist to Mr.. Thure Jader-
borg, head of the voice depart
ment, Bethany Conservatory.
Added to her musical accomplish
ments she has a good general
education and marked literary
ability. This broader education
is reflected in a deeper under
standing of musical interpreta-
tions, thus making her musical
activities of more value. To
those who desire a competent
pianist or teacher, | can recon-
mend Miss Pfremmer very highly.

Barr Mine-Big Producer

The mill on the Barr mine,
which is 600 ton capacity is
turning out from rs to 30 tons of
ore every day. This mine is
located south west of Baxter
Springs in the Blue Mound
district. 1t is declared on good
authority that the ore formation
in this mine is like that OF the
Blue Mound mines. The plan Of
the Vinegar Hill company which
is operating the Barr mine, is
said to be to increase the capacity
of the mill to 1000 tons at an
early date.

NINETY TONS OF
ORE A WEEK
Ramage Plant Southwest of Bax'
ter Springs Makes Splendid
Showing Under Limited
Operation

Ninety tons of ore a week with
mill operated with only a single
shift is the record OF the Ramage
Mining company, located nine
miles southwest of Baxter
Springs at the Century district.
The dirt for this run is taken
only from the mill shaft. 1t has
been so slightly opened that the
men have barely room to work.
They are in a 60-foot face of ore,
which runs about Z l-2 per cent
recovery.
This is the new Ramage plant,
which was only recently COM
pleted, and there are few mills
in the district that exceed this
average. They handle about $50
cans of dirt every ~ hours,
which makes the record of go
tons an unusually good one.
The shaft is now at the 1885,
foot level but is to be sunk to
the 200-foot level, which will
give a 75-foot face of ore. The
Ramage has put down two other
shafts, but to a shallower level.
But little drifting has thus far
been done in the mill shaft,
because of the quality OF the dirt,
but the drift is to be extended as
rapidly as possible so as to relieve
the crowded condition of the
miners.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 3o.-The drought
in a half dozen West Texas counties
was partly relieved last night by the
first rainfall of any consequence sin e
last May. In many sections it was
The first precipitation for sixteen
months.
Reports received from the western
section of the state, where the
drought has been most severe, indi-
cate the rainfall ranged from a quar-
ter of an inch to an inch.
The northern and eastern sections
of the state also were visited by a SUBJ
