Hickel Mine Good

Three thousand pounds Of lead
is being turned out every day by
the three hand jigs which are
working on the Hickel mine
south Of Baxter Springs. So far
the operators are not through
with the pocket of lead which
yielded pure cubes of lead in
large quantities. Two drifts
have been started in the first
shaft and both of them have
made the kind of showing that
makes the mine owner feel salts
fed.
Mr.. Hickel is having other
parts of his holdings drilled.
One hole which had an eleven
foot face, assayed seven per cent.
Ore was encountered in this hole
at the depth of SO feet. In Q

New KeneGc Plant

1t is stated upon what seems
good authority, that the KenefiC
company will soon begin the
installation of a new concentrat-
ing plant on its property in the
Picher field near Blue Mound,
says the Miami Record Herald.
This will be the third mill OF
this company, and it will be of
large capacity. Recent opera
tions developed the fact that the
rich ore, at a shallow depth,
which is being worked out by
this company extends west of
the present shafts, which caused
the company to change its plans
and have the new mill erected
west of Mill No. ! instead of
east of it. 1t is planned to begin
work on the new plant the COM
ing week. The ground being
worked by Blue Mound is unusu-
ally rich, is said, and can be
worked like sheet ground, yet it
is anything but that, while the
product Is high grade.

survey last week. The final
survey will be started the latter
part OF this week and the entire

Century Club Lecturer
Thinks Bureau of Markets
a Better Plan
WOULD HAVE MORE
WOMEN FARMERS

Mr.. High Costa Living was given
a good talking to- this morning at
the New Century Club when, before a
group of about fifty women, Mrs,
Nevada T. Hitchcock, Of Philadelphia,
an authority on the food question,
delivered an address. The advocation
Of commission or a bureau Of mar
kets and foods in every city, and
strong concerted silent substituting"
on the part Of the women OF the COM
munity, were two points brought out
and developed by Mrs. Hitchcock as
two very important issues in solving
the high cost Of living problem. Any
attempts ut bOycotting the market. Mrs.
Hitchcock said, were not practical
and were dangerous.
Just as most cities have bureau
Of health, so should they have bu-
reau of markets and foods or a mu-
nicipal commission to look into the
conditions and prices of city markets.
Mrs Hitchcock said Club women OF
the State and members of all womens
organizations could do very effective
work along these lines If they would
band themselves together and work,
said Mrs. Hitchcock.
The speaker prophesied that next
year it will be hard to get men for the
crops, whether there is war or not
as conditions in the country today are
such as 10 make It necessary for wo-
men to do more farming than ever
before. She advised the appointment
Of q committee of women TO make
food survey of the State to see how
many productive and unproductive
farms there are in this State. Food
speculation is to blame somewhat for
the high prices. she said, and also
the scarcity of farm labor is to blame.
The women, she said, should not put
up with the inefficient methods OF the
middleman. Points which should be
studied by the women of community
along reducing the cost of living said
Mrs. Hitchcock, we're transportation
of foods, (she advocating the trolley
freight SYSTEM, conservation OF
foods. Watching the markets and
knowing the value of foods. Each wo-
man, she said, owes an altruistc duty
to her community to protest against
exorbitant prices and whether she
herself can afford 10 pay such or not
should make no difference.
1.-THE responsibility rests upon you
consumers" said Mrs Hitchcock. 'li
you women together would say we
won't pay such and such prices for
such and such a thing. the price on
that thing would come down. be
lieve in every woman going to mar
ket. as it is a cheaper and more sat
isfaetory method of buying
She spoke of the recent food riots
IN Philadelphia and then related how
the women of that city had succeed
ed in getting through the City Coun
ell a food ordinance which demands
covered foods in markets there.
This mornings meeting was wei
attended and a number took part il

will be appointed to follow up ant
