Baxter Springs news., 1918-08-16
WILL OPEN COAL
mine WEST HERE
o. B. Rose Mining Company
Preparing to Open a Coal
Mine West Of Baxter
Springs

o. B. Miller, president, and othel
members Of the o. B. Rose Minin(
Company of Oklahoma City have been
here during the past several days ar
ranging to open the coal deposits, un
covered by that company on the Nc
Sherry farm, nine miles west Of thiI
city. The company was drilling fol
lead and zinc and found coal instead
There is a face Of from FIVE to sever
feet, at q depth Of 81 feet, and the
deposit has been found thus far tc
cover an area practically six miles
square. The confines have not YET
been determined and there is addition
al exploring being done in that en-
tire locality.
According to the ruling of the Ma
tional administrator, to open up new
it is necessary to obtain the permis-
sion of DR.. Harry Garfield, the ma
tional administrator, to open pu a new
coal mine in any district. Applica-
tion for the Garfield permission has
been made and Mr.. Miller expects that
it will be received in the near future
and that work on sinking the first
shaft will be continued. This shaft is
down now to within twenty feet Of the
coal deposit. ]. R. Green, Of Baxter,
formerly of Oklahoma City, is the
company's superintendent.
Because Of the great demand for
coal in this lead and zinc district, and
also because of the government TAX
ing a big proportion Of the coal now
being mined, it is very necessary that
the mines, west of Baxter Springs, be
opened at the earliest possible NOM
ent. It is understood here that, when
the mine is completed, the Miami
Mineral Belt railway company will
build two mile extension Of its line,
which now stops at the United States
Smelling company's zinc mine on the
Naylor farm, to the McSherry farm
and give transportation facilities to
the Rose Company.
Baxter Springs news., 1918-08-16

less than one-haif cent per square foot
additional, one part of clean sand to
each four parts of coarse chat can be
added to the base mixture and the
voids filled much more completely
Although the ordinances covering the
construction of sidewalks do not re-
quire this addition of sand, it would
well pay the property owners to spec
ify this addition. The one part of
cement required for each five parts
of chat in the base would then have
something beside the bare side of a
piece of flint to stick to and q much
better walk result, In the past, con-
tractors have skimped the cement
criminally and whereas the city has
specified one part of cement to five
parts of chat for the base and one
part cement to one and one-half parts
clean sand for the top, in a large num-
Der of cases, the contractors have not
even used one part in five if all the
cement required for the one-half inch
surface were added to what they put
in the base. In other words, the num-
ber of sacks used for the entire five
inches in thickness specified has not
been as much as should have been put
into the base alone.
The walks should be four feet wide
and five inches thick, the upper one
half inch being sand and cement and
put on to the base the same day the
base was laid. In the past, the spec
ifications requiring the walks to be
covered and kept wet for three days
after their completion has been large
ly ignored and much Of the cement
used has been Of no use because it had
never set.
The large improvement in newly
laid sidewalks following a rain is a
concrete evidence of covering and
sprinkling walks. In addition, a side
walk should never be laid on earth
which has not been thoroughly wetted.
II the property owners Of Baxter
Springs help the city in keeping the
walks up to specifications, It will be
better for every one concerned. When
the materials are not thoroughly
tamped, less material is required to
make the five inches but a much poor
N walk results. yfrS.
