THE DEADLY EXHAUST
GAS

~ HE Bureau of Mines, De-
W partment of the Interior,
has called attention to
the increasing number of per-
sons who are being asphyxiat-
ed through breathing the ex-
haust gases from automobile
engines in garages, and sug-
gested that the danger is great
ly increased in the winter time
when the weather is too cold
to keep the doors and windows
open.
A series of tests were con-
Quoted in a garage, in which
one of the chemists was con-
siderably affected by the pois-
onous gases. The tests led to
the following conclusions:'
An automobile engine should
not be operated in small gar
age unless doors and windows
are wide open.
In the tests conducted, the
air in the garage was rendered
decidedly dangerous after the
automobile engine had been
running fifteen minutes.
"The gas made by automo-
bile engines in inclosed gar
ages is known as carbon mono
xide," said Director Van. H.
Manning of the bureau. 'It is
a colorless, odorless and taste
less gas. It is extremely pois-
.onous because it combines with
the red coloring matter of the
blood more readily than oxy-
gen does and blood that is sat-
urated with it cannot take up
oxygen. The dangerous symp-
tom of this carbon-monoxide
poisoning comes almost with
cut warning and collapse in a
garage generally proves fatal,
unless outside aid arrives very
soon."

MILL CONTRACTED
FOR HARTLEY LAND
MINING OPERATIONS EX.
TEND TO DOOR OF
BAXTER
SURE To Be BIC PRODUCER
Large Well and Pomona Pump
for Drawing Mine-Part Of
Machinery Now on
the Grounds

An electrically equipped, practical
ly new mill in the Joplin district has
been purchased by the American
Smelter company, and it will be taken
down to be reconstructed on the
Hartley land adjoining the city lin
It's on the west.
This is going to be the first mill
at the door of Baxter Springs, located
on q $40 acre tract that has shown,
in average, richer drill cuttings than
any other in the field. There were
q good many holes drilled and prac-
tically every one Of them showed the
same rich fomation. In one Of the
holes the drill penetrated the ore
formation to the 100 foot level and
the cuttings were estimated to assay
from 10 to Is per cent. But the drill
cuttings grew richer as the drill went
down. Some assayed 80 and others
40 per cent, in thick veins.
It is pronounced by experienced
men that the ore formation here is
very extensive and that its richness
can challenge any strike made in the
Kansas-o Oklahoma mining field. The
existence Of cave at this place, sim
liar to the ones found southwest Of
here, which have yielded millions Of
dollars worth Of pure lead and zinc,
Is thought possible.
This tract Of $50 acres was recent
ly transferred from the Butte Super
ior people to the American Metal
company. The present owners have
made all arrangements for q mill.
Aside from purchasing their mill,
they have already employed the
wOrkmen and are paying fifty dollars
q day until the weather clears and
they can get to work.
The company will start sinking a
seventeen inch hole on the lease in
order to place q Pomona pump and
fight the water. Part Of the machin-
cry for this purpose is already on the
ground and as soon as traffic is re-
sumed the rest will be moved and
drilling started. There il no waiting
with the company. They mean bus
mess and are now going ahead to de-
velop q property that is destined to
mean much for the real interest of
Baxter Springs.
