SHAFT STARTED
ON HARTLEY LAND
Means One of Biggest Mines in
Kansas-O Oklahoma Mining
District Right in
Baxter

Following the completion Of severa
smaller buildings today, the Chanut'
Spelter company last week start
ed the erection Of a derrick and the
sinking of the first shaft on the R
F. Hartley land, just outside Of the
Baxter Springs city limits on the
west.
Monday the company will start the
foundation for the mill. Practically
everything necessary for the reas-
sembling of the big plant which was
purchased from the Joplin field and
transferred here is on the ground and
the work will be pushed fast.
The concentrating plant will be run
by electricity and it is to be one Of
the most complete in the whole field.
It is said that the company contends
that nothing is too good for this 30
acre tract winch has untold POSSIBLE
tiles according to the drill cuttings.
The first big 17-inch hole, which is
being sunk for the purpose Of placing
a pomona pump with which to fight
the water, was down rs feet last
night. This hole is one Of four or
six to be sunk by the company.
1t has been said that great deal
more development might have been
carried on sooner west of Baxter had
the water problem been an easier one.
The drill holes had indicated strong
currents of water Immediately west
of here and q good many companies
holding leases there did not feel
equal to the task of beating the
water. Now, since the Chanute
people have started to fight the wat
er in the right way, it is believed
that others will start sinking shafts
and making zeal developments on
their tracts that have shown rich
formations.

THIRTY FLET OF
HIGH GRADE ORE

In the fifth hole drilled out on the
Martin Shanks land, southwest of
Baxter Springs, a thirty-foot fact Of
ore was Indicated yesterday when
drilling was discontinued at the S05
foot level yesterday afternoon.
Two drills are working on this
tract with the hope Of proving larger
area prior to starting further devel-
opments. One has been shown in ev-
cry hole according to reports, but
very little cuttings were obtained on
account Of q swift current Of water
washing them away. The cuttings
obtained 80 far have indicated a rich
formation. No assay records have
been reported.
The tract is developed by the B. L,
G. Mining company, which is COM
posed Of Carthage, No., men.

WITH KAISER BILL
RUNNING THE U. S.
By p. w. Morgan

So, you say you can't stand the
strain, Hiram. You have been buying
Liberty bonds, contributing to the
Red Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A. camp
welfare, and now you are in for war
taxes to beat the band. Well, l am
surprised at you, Hiram, though l
should not be. Your old dad was
tightwad who annexed himself to ev-
erything of value he could get his
hands on. / hoped you would be a
little more de' ent. But here you are
blowing in the money your dad left
you like you own Kansas gusher
flowing a thousand barrels Of oil n
day, thinking only of yourself and
your personal comfort and enjoy
ment, and kicking because you are
asked to pay a little part Of the debt
you owe Uncle Sam.
Saw, Hiram, how would you like to
see Kaiser Bill running this country?
No chance, Ell? Just forget it. The
kaiser will be doing that same II a
lot of you fellows don't jar loose and
come through with all the help you
can give the government. How would
you feel if the kaiser would call in
his personal spy and ask:
"Who's this guy, Hiram, what's
blowing hisself?"
Hiram" says the personal spy,
"oh, yes, he's a high roller what's
been left a pile by his dad what's
died."
$50, So" smiles Kaiser Bill. "You
lust 70 around and take half of it and
then see the other half is put where
. he can't blow it. And say, Amiel, /
hear he is living too high. You might
give him a food card allowing him a
couple of ounces of bread with half
ounce of sugar and carrot a day
Oh, you might let him have q quarter
of pound of meat for his Sunday din
ner. But we We got to teach Hiram
what Kultur means"
Beat it-heat Kaiser Bill! Now you
are talking. Just you run that six
sylinder car in the shed and lend the
government the sum of $125 a month
it is costing you. Let your Chauffeur
20 to France 10 run an ambulance, OF
else send HIM down to one OF the.
factories to run q truck. Give the
mechanic at the garage a chance to
20 to work in some shop where he is
needed. Cut out those cabaret parties
and the bunch you have been giving
such good times. Get down to buy
ing War Saving stamps and behav-
ing like a loyal American citizen. Do
this, Hiram, and everybody will re-
spect you. At least nobody will be
pointing you cut as you drive by in
your car and saying,
There goes that blooming Stacker
Hiram"

NOTICE TO PATRONS

With the commencement of the
new year the Nenana Steam Laund-
ry will inaugurate new policy with
regard to certain charges on small
articles which, heretofore, have
been a source of loss to the manage
ment because of the absence of
small change in the community
For instance, a charge of twenty
five cents will be made for an
article listed at ten cents or more,
when such article accompanies an
other article listed at an even
amount. Under the new rule, for
an overshirt and a bath towel, listed
at twenty-five cents and ten cents
respectively, there will be charge
of fifty cents. Hereafter, the towel
or other small articles will not be
thrown in" as has been the Gus
tom in the past.
The new policy of making
charge for all small articles laund-
cred will not affect the cost of
bundles to patrons if they will keep
in mind the prices listed below, and
make up their bundles so that there
will ho No oIJ
