"Of course they want you to join
All mothers of young babies may

full. You see it is limited to twelve
members
What a small number Why do
they make that limit?
1T is not small when you count
the children. You see every mother
brings one and some bring two and
even three if she cannot leave one
conveniently. Twice twelve you
know is twenty four laughed

IF men get together to study corn
they call it Corn Club" so if
women get together to study babies
why not call it Baby Club?"
Eyes, that looks sensible. But
what is the next lesson and how do
you know what to have next?"

The Booster Banquet

One hundred of the progressive
men of Baxter Springs gathered
around the banquet board at
the Hotel Baxter last Thursday
night and started the ball rolling
for the reorganization of a Com
mercial Club.
The enthusiasm was at high
pressure and the wonderful
opportunities now knocking at
the door of this community were
elouuently set forth in short
speeches, led by Prof. A. c.
Terrill, head of the Department
of Mining Engineering, Kansas
University. Chas. Wells, of the
Cunningham C Wells Oil Co., per.
formed as toast master and
played his part like a professional.
The supper was served by the
ladies of the Christian church.
There was fried chicken and
vegetables, salads, cakes, coffee
and ice or am. All cooked and
served in home style by pretty
mattresses. 1t was voted the
best feed served publicly in Bax-
ter in many a day. Harry Jack
son. violinist: Clare Rehms, trap
drummer, and Miss Florence
Pfremmer, pianist, composed an
improvised orchestra that de-
lighted the guests with popular
music while the banquet was in
progress.
Credit for the success OF the
affair is largely due to Harry
Goldstein and Doc Fail, who
planned and carried it out.
After the guests had become
well enthused with good eats
and calorific atmosphere the
object of the promoters was
crystalizsd into the selection OF a
committee by nomination, the
duty of which is to formulate
plans for the development of a
sure 'nuf Commercial Club, a
club to be supported literally
both in spirit and with the long
green; a club strong enough to
hire a professional secretary who
would devote his entire time to
advertising the advantages Of
Baxter and assisting prospective
inventors in getting located here.

In Police Court

The police records of Baxter
Spring for the month of July re-
fleet favorably upon the char
acter of the people of this city.
1t is safe to say that 80 per cent
of those arrested for one reason
or another are out of town peo-
ple as the records show.
There were only ten cases in
the police court last month. Out
of these, two were arrested for
drunkenness, four for jay driv-
ing, one for fighting, two for dis
turbing the peace and one for
grand larceny. Out Of all these
cases only one man appears to
live in Baxter and this man is
not given himself to breaking
the law, but perhaps for the first
time under the impulse Of anger
he cut. loose from the tradition
and taught a lesson to the other
fellow"

Planning Mill for Baxter

W. r. Sparks of Pittsburg this
week bought a tract of land near
the M. o. & G. depot and will
put up $4,000 modern planning
mill at once. Mr.. Sparks went
from here to Pittsburg to remove
the mill here. It was installed
last spring and was in operation
prior to its removal here. After
the building is erected on the 80
by 140 foot tract Of land the
owner viii employ from 10 to 30
men in the operation Of the mill.

Drill Cuttings

Drill holes on the Lisle Mishler
place south of Baxter Springs,
lease held by Col. Joe T. Davis,
of Missouri and associates, Strong
and Others, are showing a re-
markable record. Eleven holes
have been completed and every
one OF them is in paying ore.
No other tract OF land in this
mining district, the records Of
which we have in our files, has
shown such unusual ore forma-
tion. The ore on this land has
assayed from 2 to 80 per cent.
The plan of the lessee is to sink a
shaft soon and carry on further
developments. Following t b e
sinking of the shaft a 500-ton
capacity mill viii be built and
operated. Aside from every hole
proving good, this tract Of land
has other strong features. 1t
win be remembered that it was
on this place where ore was en-
Baxter Springs news., 1917-08-16

countered at a depth of 20 and
% feet respectively. These were
considered very shallow, but they
created the greatest sensation
when they showed unusual deep
faces. The ore encountered at a
depth of 20 feet had a 80 foot
face. The one in which the drill
went into the ore body at 26 feet
showed q 20 foot face. From as
to 80 feet on drill cuttings were
obtained in this hole as a strong
current OF water washed them
away. The 25 foot face ore as
sayed 26 per cent. 1t showed II
per cent lead and ID per cent
jack.
Another unusual condition
which surrounds this land is that
strikes have been reported on
every side from the adjoining
lands. The lessees on the south
40 of the Mishler land are work.
ing hard to catch the veins of ore
on the north 40 that have shown
remarkable depth and richness.
The development of the Col. j.
T. Davis holdings will be in ef-
feet in a comparatively short
time as the company is well situ-
ated financially and is able to
take care of the conditions as
they happen to arise.

NEW SHAFTS AND
RICH STRIKES
Starting to Develop Properties
Close to Baxter - Big
Bonus Being Paid for
Leases

A shaft will be started this
week on the Eli Kane farm,
located a mile west and a mile
north of Baxter. Grantham and
Pratt, first lease holders, early in
the week sub-leased the property
to Joplin parties who will de.
velop it. This transaction is OF
interest to Baxter people in that
it is the first move in the line OF
actual development OF the several
properties in the immediate VI
cinity of the town, proven up
within the pant year. The first
lease holders sold out at a good
figure 1t is said.
Monday q rich strike was made
on this land at a depth of 45 feet.
Five feet of the cuttings, from
so to 55, assayed 2l per cent zinc
blend. The average for face OF
20 feet, was better than II per
cent. This shallow run has been
struck in three holes. 1t is re-
ported that there is a lower run
of ore, from 1870 to 22O feet,
which has assayed from 5 to IA
per cent.
The Golden Rod mine which
was owned by the Nichols-Wil
liam Zinc company was sold to
Wallower & Tabor of Joplin last
week. 1t is said that the buyers
paid $SOO,OOO for it. This is
claimed to be the largest price
paid for q second lease for any
property in this mining district.
The land is owned by l.. l..
Cardin of this city and lies just
south of Tarr River. The Golden
Rod lands were prospected to
some extent and some showingS
of good ore were made at 200
feet level. The lease carries
with it the ownership of mill.
A shaft had been put down re-
Gently and another one started.
With the completion of the
second shaft the new owners will
take steps to develop their hold
ines to the capacity of the mill
which is 300 tons. The drift in
the shaft was started at 210
feet. The Nichols Williams COM
pany own the Mihoma, Boston
Miami and the Bulls Eye mines.

assay 81 l-2 per cent average has
been reported on M. Turner's
land, one and a half miles south
west of Baxter Springs. 1t is
said that ore was encountered at
a depth of 254 feet and the drill
kept in the ore body until it
reached 291 feet. Some of this
ore assayed 8 1-2 per cent, some
II l-2 per cent and still Others
higher until the record reached
over so per cent. The ore is
mostly jack and little lead.
A 27 foot face strike which
has assayed 80 to 35 per cent
has been reported on the L. B.
Brewster place just in the Okla
homa state line about four miles
southwest of Baxter Springs.
The strike was made at a depth
of 200 feet. There are already
IL or 13 holes on this tract of

by the Merrill Mining company.
Out of these holes eight of them
are in good ore.

tensively and over 5000 had been

ing built by the Barndollar peo-

Rich Strike in the City

A rich strike in the Omaha ad-
dition to the city OF Baxter
Springs was reported Tuesday
from an authentic source. The
report states that the drill went
into lead ore at a depth of %
feet aud at 81 feet it was still in
the ore. The showing is very
good and it is estimated that it
will assay rather high. In the
past few weeks several strikes
from this land have been re-
ported, but none of them promis-
ed to be of great value in con-
trast to other strikks that have
been made in the Baxter mining
field. The last strike, however,
appears to come up to the stand
ard of the other strikes.
