Drill Cuttings

Two big strikes have been re
ported on the M. Turner and j
Banning place, southwest Of this
city.
Another strike has been re-
ported on Jos. ]. Bingham's 40
acres south of Baxter Springs. II
is claimed to be one of the best
strikes brought in in the Baxter
mining field.
The sixth hole on the r. Hart
ley land, south of Baxter Springs,
which was brought out this week,
is promising TO be as good as any
ore body encountered in the Bax-
ter mining field. The drill went
into the ore at a depth of 1lS feet
and at 1873 it was still in the ore
body.
A rich ore body was encounter
ed this week in the second strata
on the l.. D. Brewster place, I
mile west OF Baxter Springs.
Good shines were encountered at
a depth of 160 feet. 1t is said
t'at the drill kept in the shine
until it reached 2l0 feet. AT that
depth it went into the ore body
and went out of it when the drill
reached 235 feet. 1t showed a
25-foot face. The ore is said TO
assay from 80 to so per cent.
Thirteen holes are being drilled
on this property, and four OF
them were finished recently.
Three out of the four holes yielded
good ore and one was blank.
About l6 holes have been
drilled on the Ebenstein land
west of Baxter Springs. Out of
these, it is said, probably four
holes have been missed and the
others have shown from one per
cent up to IS per cent ore.
Thomas Jefferson Barrow, who
has mining interests south of
Baxter Springs and who had
been away for some time, re-
turned to this city last week.
On Monday last he and his asso-
ciates started drill rig on their
land.
Youse Bros, who are conduct
ing exploration work for the
Commerce Mining & Royalty
company, report another big
strike on the Webber land just
north of the Blue Mound mine.
The drill went into ore at 257
feet and out at 2S1. While the
depth of the face, 25 feet, is very
good, it is high metallic content
Of cuttings that is causing the
most comment. Assay records
from samples obtained at various
depths show an average and in
TACT a uniform metallic content
Of from 40 to 45 per cent.

Slaves, Surely
To the Editor Of The News:

1he News asked the questio
last week, Are We Free People?
Well, we are not. We are er
slaved by one of the most arrop
ant corporations ever in existence
We refer to the water situatio
in this city.
A few days ago a man ha,
finished q house. He wante,
water run to it, as he had
rented. He was told that If h,
wanted water he would have t,
lay his own line.
In another part of town severa
new houses have been built, but
the occupants of the houses have
no water, simply because the
owner of the water plant will
not lay a main to supply them
They arc now carrying water
from a neighbor's.
Another man built a big new
business house. He could not
get water for his building except
by laying a line of his own.
A lot of walks have been order
ed in by the city, but the side
walk contractors are not going
to break their necks to make a
bid on the work for the reason
that they cannot get water except
by laying their own supply line.
+ Now, in the language OF one of
our celebrated men, isn't that a
= - of a state of atfairs?"
1t surely is.
There is only one remedy, and
that is the municipal ownership
of our water plant. Baxter
Springs is going to need at least
$50 fire hydrants. They would
not cost the city a cent for main-
tenance il the city owned the
plant. If the city pays a rental
to some individual or corporation
that money is gone forever, while
if the city owns the plant the
money saved would pay the
interest on whatever it would
cost to put in the plant. The
city can sell water to its people
at a price that would be reason
able, and in that way encourage
the making of nice lawns and
parkways, and so they can keep
down the dust. But the people
cannot do these things when
some private party owns the
plant, for his prices would be out
of reason.
Baxter Springs is one of 20
towns in the state of Kansas
which does not own it's water
plant. Again, Isn't that a -
of a state of affairs?" 1t surely
is.
If the mayor of Baxter Springs
and his council do the right
thing they will say to Mr.. Forshay,
the owner of the plant, and his
1--WE do not need you at
all. We are going to be a free
people; we are going to put in a
municipal plant and sell water to
our people at a price they can
afford to pay, we are not going
in for grating; We do not care
to make money; all we want our
plant to do Is to carry its load,
and this, you know, Mr.. Forshay,
it will do. No, Mr.. Forshay, we
refuse to deal with you. We re-
fuse to deal with a man who will
not furnish water to our people
when they need it to improve
their property. The city will
build its own plant, and will lay
mains where they are wanted.
MIR. Forshay, we bid you adieu."
Three or four good hustlers
can get out among our people
and secure enough signatures to
Justify the council in going ahead
with a municipal plant, and they |
ian do it in a few hours.
Let's get busy. Let's be free
people. Municipal Plant.

A Double Purpose Creation.
A useful creation which serves the
double purpose OF dress hat or COM
plement to the tailored attire, is one
Of the most appealing Of the all-black
models with its amazing individuality.
The brim starts at the under side of
the crown, describes complete roll
and is back to meet the low round
crown. The straw is a fine lisere and
the brim is entirely covered with fine
strands Of burnt goose.
From a shop of most fashionable
models comes a HUFFMAN turban that
fits close about the head and flares
upward like a spreading crown. It's
only trimming is two fan shaped wings
which lie fat across the top letting the
ends of the feathers project like a
lacy edge at the extreme sides. A
Litchenstein model is round halo set
on a bandeau. The illusion of the
aureole Is intensified by the long
feathers Of blue burnt goose wound
around the crown.
The turban with the upturned brim
has pleased since last autumn and in
the belief that one good turn deserves
another, the milliners are capitaliZing
its popularity and giving us new
spring versions Of it. Numbers Of
