Drill Cuttings

During the first week in July
new records were set in this
district for high grade ores in
both lead and jack. The Admir-
atty Zinc company shipped q car
of lead that assayed 86.1 per
cent metallic lead. Pure lead
sulphite shows 1855 per cent
metal, SO the Admiralty people
have a right to think that any.
one who beats this mark will
have to 90 some. The ore came
from the company's No. 2 mill.
The Montreal mine claims the
record for high grade zinc ore in
the report on a car showing
$3.50 per cent metallic zinc.
Pure jack is graded at 67.05 per
cent metal. This car came from
mill No. l.
The Rich Spence Mining Com
pany are sinking a shaft on one
of their leases in the Century
camp, 3-4th of a mile east of
Cardin. The drill holes indicat-
ed ore at 21O feet but in the
shaft an exceedingly rich face of
jack was encountered at 100 feet.
One mining man said it was the
richest ore he had ever seen.
On the Clark farm, two miles
south of Baxter, B. A. Wilson is
drilling out q twenty acre tract,
the lease OF which is held by
John D. Richards of Tulsa. He
has sunk three holes and found
ore in each one but as yet has
not found any great quantity.
The 400 ton capacity mill
which is being built by the
Lucky Kid people, and which
will be known as the Lucky Kid
Extension, will be ready for
operation by August /.
Messrs. Ash, Luke and Thur
man of Carthage and Joplin,
Mo-, are planning a 250 ton
capacity mill on their holding
southwest of Baxter Springs. A |
shaft has already been completed
and in its first drift q good run of
ore has been encountered.
On the Ports land south of
the Lucky Kid Extension, a good
strike was made at a depth of
95 feet. There was a 15 foot
face of jack which appeared to
be out OF the ordinary. The
first lease on this land is held by
W. T. Apple.
On another piece Of land
owned by Ports, ore was en-
encountered at a depth of 130
feet. 1t too showed a Is foot
face. 1t will probably assay 2
to 8 per cent. The first lease on
this land is also held by w. T.
Apple and the second lease is in
the hands of Galena people.

On the L. J. Fish land, about
eight miles south west of Baxter

made at two different strata in
the same hole. In the first strike
ore was encountered at a depth
of so feet. The drill kept in the
ore body until it went to 70 feet
mark. At that depth it went
out until it reached 134 feet
when it encountered another
layer of lead. This second strike
showed a Is foot face.
The original lease on this land
is held by Walter Apple but the
suitcase is in the hands of c. H.

BAXTER SPRINGS
WILL MAKE GOOD
Big Drive ON This Week for
Red Cross Funds With a
Gratifying Start

The big campaign started Mon
day in Baxter Springs for the
purpose of raising 1000 as Bax-
ter's contribution to the Ameri-
can Red Cross, reaches the
fourth day with practically half
the amount subscribed.
The committee, under the
leadership Of E. c. McWilliams,
met last night to plan for the
final drive in which every man
and woman in the community
will be given an opportunity to
show their loyalty. No one will
be expected to give beyond his
means, but the person Of means
will be looked upon as Stacker
sure enough if he fails to give
literally.
Up to the time of going to
press the committee had reported
the following contributions
pledged. Of course q large per-
centage of the people Of means
have been seen, though not all,
and as usual the last half will
have to come from the people OF
moderate circumstances; but as a
rule the ordinary people can
always be depended upon to do
their share, and so the COMMITTEES
is confident that the drive will
succeed:

A drift has been started in the
shaft on A. D. Hickels holdings
south of Baxter Springs which we
reported some time ago as yield
ing pure cubes of lead in large
quantities. The drift appears
like a lead bin. No one can tell
the extent of this vein which
has, so far, shown wonderful
lead. At the opening of the
drift big cube was taken out
which weighed about 200 pounds.
This strike was made at a depth
Of SO feet. 1t has shown about
a IL foot face of lead, but the
cubes are found in a place about
five to six feet in the face.
Four hand jigs are already
built and last week one of them
was in operation. With the
starting of the drift all four will
be kept busy as three other men
have been employed for that
purpose.
The shaft, so so, on this same
holding, which was sunk some
years ago by j. w. Radcliff, will
be opened soon. Mr.. Radcliff
states that there is as rich lead
in this shaft as is found in the
one in operation now. The so so
shaft is 68 feet deep. Mr.. Rad
cliff has no interest in the mines
now. He sold them out some
years ago when things went bad
with him.

SHAFT STARTED
NEAR CITY LIMITS
Marks the Beginning of De-
velopment that in Few
Years Will Make Bax-
ter Springs Famous

The beginning of a great
mining activity was made Mon
day at the very door OF Baxter
Springs when s. Y. Ramage, the
millionaire mine owner from
Pittsburg, had the first shaft
started in the immediate Baxter
territory on the Hunter land,
about half a mile south of the
city limits. 1t was only short
time ago that Mr.. Ramage came
to this territory and bought the
Webber property west OF the
city and acquired the lease on
the Hunter land. The future
prospects of this field cannot be
underestimated by those who
have carefully followed the re-
ports of the strikes which this
paper has printed practically
week after week.
1t will be remembered that in
the last two or three months
many strikes of unusual quality
have been reported from the
drilling which has been progress
ing on this property. The re-
ports, as were given out, indi-
Gated that the richest strikes
made in the Kansas Oklahoma
mining fields were on this
property. The assay tests con-
irmed these reports. Another
thing that was pointed out at
the time of the first report was
that the strike was in Kansas
and that it was located only a
short distance from the Baxter
Springs city limits.
On this 40 acres several good
holes were brought out. 1t is
predicted that soon after the
completion of the shaft other
improvements will be made to
take care of the ore as it comes
out of the ground. This means
that a mill will be pnt up and
the company will start for real
business.
