Old Shaft Revived

The Big 6 Mining company is
operating the old Mascot mine
on northwest ten acres OF the
Red Eagle land in Sunnyside.
The shaft is in IL foot face of
jack and lead and the showing
is good. The ore is estimated to
assay Is per cent. Chunks of
almost pure jack is being taken
out of the hole, a fair sample OF
which is on exhibition at the
window of The News Office.
Some years ago the present
shaft was sunk, but owing to the
enormous expense attached to it
the company abandoned the
project. Later the shaft caved
in and another company took it
up and tried tO clear and operate
it. This firm also found. it too
expensive an undertaking and it
was sold to the Big 6. They
went ahead, cleared the shaft
and now they are getting good
ore out. In the formation here
are blue flint amalgamated with
lead, which reminds one of Webb
City formation.

NEW RAILROAD
HERE N SEPTEMBER
Mineral Belt Line Files Applir
cation With State for Per-
mission TO Build and
Operate in Kansas

NlknI diiu udy WOTh ID pushing
the tracts of the Mineral Belt
railroad company toward its
objective point with great rapid
ity. The line is expected to be
in Baxter Springs within 80
days. This means that by Sep
tember our city, which is located
in the center of the richest lead
and zinc mines in the United
States, will have direct freight
and passenger connections with
the mining fields.
The line is in operation for
freight service between Quapaw
and Century, Cardin and Picher.
Passenger traffic to commence
about July l.
The railroad line starts from
Miami. From there it goes to
Quapaw and branches out to
Lincolnville. From Quapaw the
road continues its course to
Century and on to Cardin and
Picher. From this last place it
comes to Baxter Springs and
makes its connection with the
Frisco lines.
1t is rumored that another
branch of the Mineral-Belt will
run from Picher to Columbus.
In fact the Columbus papers in
their report seem to be pretty
sure that the railroad is going to
extend its line to the Cherokee
county seat.
The railroad company has
already filed an application in
the Office of the Public Utility
Commission of the State of
Kansas for a certificate of con-
venience and authority to trans
act the business of COM
mon carrier in the State of Kan
sas. The commission, at its Of
fee in Topeka, will hear the ap-
plication today, June 21.
When the Mineral Belt line
reaches Baxter Springs it will
have direct connections with all
the trains of the Frisco lines. 1t
will run direct intermediate
trains to and from the mining
districts. This means that a
special train or two will take the
mining employees and others to
their work in the morning and
return them to their homes here
in the evening. The plan of the
company is to have service to fit
the demands.
The rails will be of 65-pound
steel and the tracks are ballasted
so that the trains can easily make
65 miles an hour. Another feat
ure of the line is that the COM
pany is figuring to have through
package cars direct from Baxter
Springs to Joplin, Kansas City,
Neosho and st. Louis respective
ly. This will make the handling
of freight easier, because there
will be no chance for the delay Of
freight at the junction points.
When the freight is loaded it will
go direct to its objective point.
The company is building mod
ern standard railroad stations
and will furnish them with the
best of equipment. 1t will have
the Wells-Fargo express service.
1t is rumored that when the
Mineral-Belt comes to Baxter
Springs the Frisco railroad depot
will be moced from its present
location to somewhere near the
Baxter Mill & Elevator buildings
and there the two stations will be
consolidated.

Drill Cuttings

The Carry B. Mining company,
represented by L. NJ. Blanton
and A. l., Arnold, of Springfield,
and c. A. Brown, of Sunnyside,
is operating south of Baxter
Springs on the Chas. Quapaw
Blackhawk land. The prospects
are good for this firm. The first
hole drilled did not make much
of a showing, but in the second,
at a depth of 64 feet, ore was
encountered that had a 16-foot
face. The cuttings assayed 1888
per cent blend and 0.72 per cent
lead. In the third hole the drill
went into the ore at 68 feet.
These cuttings showed a rich
lead content with a small mixture
of jack,
On the NJ. Turner place, south
west of Baxter Springs, lead
shines were encountered at a
depth of 40 feet and the same
formation continued down to 80
feet. This is a SO acre tract and
the lease is held by w. H. Berry
of Aurora, Mo-, who intends to
develop and mine the ground.
Another strike of ore which is
estimated to assay 10 to IA per
cent blend was made Friday on
the L. C. Hooker land southwest
of Baxter Springs. The drill
went into the ore at 166 feet and
continued in the body down to
191 feet, a 25 foot face. This
site is just across the state line
in Oklahoma where lumber and
other material is now being as
sembled for the erection of a
600 ton mill. The machinery
also has been ordered.
Jack was encountered at a
depth of 200 feet on the j. B.
Opperman place south of this
city Friday. The drill went out
of the ore body when it reached
the 225 feet. 1t was in this
same hole that The News re-
porteda strike at a depth of 95
feet which had a Is foot face.
Two Armstrong drill rigs were
shipped in to H. M. and Charles
Ray and two Keystones to E. W.
McKeown and a fourth party
last week. All these men are
from Joplin, but they are drilling
near Baxter Springs.
&c. Wollower is having a
shaft sunk on the Ben Dardene
place abont one-third of a mile
south of the city limits. Over 80
feet of it has already been sunk
and a mill is being moved from
Weeb City which will be placed
on the land.
A strike of ore which is esti-
mated to assay from 10 to IA
per cent was made Friday on L.
G. Hooker's land southwest of
Baxter Springs. The drill hit
the ore at 166 feet and it contin-
ued in the ore body until it |
reached 191 feet. Thus it had a
25-foot face. The lumber for a
6OO-ton capacity mill is already
on the spot and the machinery
has been purchased and a build
inu will he started at once.

SIDE TALKS
Jealous of His Mother.
BY RUTH CAMERON

A letter friend writes me that she is Jealous of her husbands deep af- lection for his mother and that she is greatly ashamed of herself
 don't blame her a bit, do you?
 Which do I mean?
 Both.
 don't blame her for being jealous and I don't blame her for being ashamed.
 I think if the truth were told there are comparatively few wives who aren't jealous of their husbands mothers. deep down in some hidden human nook of their hearts. Every Goods Wife Mothers Her Hus-
 band Little.
 In the first place the wife feels that the mother knew him so long before she did and knew a side of him that she can never know. In the love of every good wife for her husband there is some flavor how ever slight of the motherly love. She loves the boy in the man, she is his second mother, and how should she help feeling some small jealousy of his first mother?
 And then almost every wife has a haunting feeling that if she could only have had the bringing up of her husband she could have improved him in certain respects (minor of course). She would certainly have taught him to be more orderly and more handy around the house and more careful about his clothes. It is only when she becomes real mother of growing boys of her own that she begins to have a haunting suspicio, that she might not have found these small alterations as perfectly simple as she had once thought. But Don't Show 1t. But while I admit that such jeal ousy is common do not think I con done it's manifestations. For a woman to feel a little impul sive jealousy of her husbands low l for his mother, is one thing. 1t i ] quite another thing for her to per I init that jealousy to influence her il l her attitude toward her mother-in l law, to make her try to keep tn 1 mother and son apart, to make he l speak slightingly to him or othe l people of his mother, to make he ] look for flaws and find nothing righ { in what the older woman does.

 For a long moment I stood notion less, my eyes fixed on the words in Dickys handwriting. Then, leaving the tissue paper where it had fallen on the floor, fled upstairs to my own room clutching the piece of paper in my hand.

When Hall or Barry, led the orchestra into grand opera flights and Barry or Hall played the drum, they were funny.
 Florence Rother, with many dresses in keeping with her stage title of Lady Duff Gordon, sang again and again and very well, in spite of a bad cold Alfaretta Symonds also sang and danced extremely we'll, especially the latter, to draw any distinction. And she certainly did look like Billie Burke when she set out to do so and was so announced to a skeptical audience that had already been a little shy to recognize King Baggot or some such person., and Valeska Surratt. The chorus of "The Maids of America" is above the average burlesque standard.
