The Big v. Mining Company, an

treasurer; his brother, C. S. Voorhees,,
is vice president and general manager
and Otto Weigand, formerly Of Anita,
but for several months a resident Of
Quapaw, is secretary.
The gronud of the Big V. has been
thoroughly opened up, about 300 feet
of drift having been cut and the shafts
connected. Work will be begun Mon
day on the $50 ton mill that was al
most enclosed and left unfinished sev-
eral months ago. -',
On account Of the great amount OF
work that has been done in the ground
and the big dumps on top, it will be
possible to run the mill to capacity
from the time it is completed.

tie investors left out entirely and moi
a tap struck to bring In any money on
the property.
Just what steps would have to be
taken to get the demonstrator ap-
pointed has not been threshed out but
It Is believed that the state. should ap-
point him and pay him.
As TO the kind Of man, It would be
better to get none unless he be the
best to be had. No man who has had
unlimited capital at his command
would do, as the conditions would call
for a pinch hitter, one who is able to
get a proposition out Of a tight box.
He should be strictly honest for the
crooks will try to buy him and the
pay must be attractive, as the kind Of
a man who is capable Of handling the
Job as it should be, is employed at q
good salary.
The demonstration should under
stand finance, and unless he is given
the power to delve into the financial
matters of the concern as well as into
the ground Of the mines he would be
useless. Fearless should be his first
name and persistence his second.
The position of mine demonstrator
should pay at least $4,000 year but
it would be worth that much to the
state, in fact some Of the companies
operating here could afford to pay
that much to have their individual
mine looked after by that kind Of man.
Let's hurry up the appointment OF
the mine demonstrator.

so they threw up the job and return

is going to surrender her rights to the

NOT ESSENTIAL,
LATEST ORDER

The latest order to the supply
houses Of the district makes it impos-
sible to sell mill equipment as It has
been decided that lead and jack mills
are not essential to the prosecution
of the war.
This has no reference to mill re-
pairs but to the matter Of equipping
new mills. II u mill breaks down it
is an easy matter to get new parts to
repair it but the same parts cannot
be purchased for new mill.
The order will work no hardship on
the district as there are good mills to
be had over several neighboring fields
which can be purchased for q fraction
of what q new one is worth. A new
mill is not an essential when there are
hundreds of old ones that are to be
had and an overproduction Of ore on
