MIAMI, Okla, Sept 19.-Burnett q
Co of Miami report a rich strike IN
the Quapaw field this past week. "A
fifty-foot face Of rich ore was located
at the 175-foot level. Dr. A. NJ. Coo,
ter Of Miami Is one Of the principal
stockholders in this company Nine
holes have been drilled on this lease,
all of them showing a good run OF ore.
A millsite will now be blocked out
and the shaft started at once. As
soon as the shaft is to the ore a large
/ tor mill will he erected. as IL is con-
sidered a good idea in the mining
district TO start taking the ore from
the ground before the mill is started
so that when the mill starts it Will
have a large amount of ore all ready
TO work on and so can go ahead with
out being delayed on account of the
miners not furnishing sufficient ore
to keep the mill busy.
Find Good Orc.
Asbruy * Co, who have n lease IN
the Bingham addition to Quapaw, are
now sinking their shaft. At 1928 feet
/ q good body of ore was found by this

per cent in one OF the holes, accord
I ing to drill cuttings that were assayed
! Batey and associates of Springfield,
