BUY LEASE
The Land Will Be Developed Rapid
ly-Cullings Show Good Ore
Formation

A 4O-acre tract of the Endora
Whitebird land, five miles southwest
of Baxter Springs, was taken over
by Pittsburg, Penn, capitalists at q
consideration which is not made pub
lie. The original lease on this land
was held by the Vinegar Hill zinc
company. They sold it to o. l.. Lam
ingham, of Kansas City, for $4,000
and seventeen and a half per cent
royalty. Laningham in turn sold It
to the eastern people.
The transaction was closed in Chic
ago last week and the property was
taken in charge by Edward Hopes,
trustee, of Pittsburg, Penn.
There are twelve holes drilled on
this property and most of them have
shown rich formation Of ore. The
formations here have been in the
form of open crevice and for that
reason very little cuttings were OBJ
tanned. There is one shaft in ore body
now. The new owners of the lease
will sink a second one and put up an
up-to-date concentrating plant. They
will use gas for power.

That a rolling mill in the mining

was the opinion of the operators who

ried on with a view to interesting
capitalists in the project. Already
the mine operators are trying to find
a way whereby they can substitute
zinc for copper and other metals in
the manufacture of articles. Since the
war is making q heavy draw upon
copper, the substitution of zinc and
other metals for it will be received
as a great help in winning the war
