The Baxter Springs High School is
now a full four years course. Pre-
vious to last year the high school had
only three year course. The fourth
year was omitted and supposedly the
pupils went to the county high school
at Columbus, to finish, but as a mat
ter of practice few ever went.
Because high school course Of only
three years was offered at home the
high school spirit was kept at a very
low ebb and few students looked for
ward to the completion of the full
four year course.
Taking these facts into cOnsidera-
ton the Board of Education establish
ed four year course, and since do
ing so the work has been so organ
lied that the Baxter High School has
been put on the accredited list of Kan
sas High schools, making its gradu-
ates eligible to enter the Freshman
year for the Kansas colleges without
examinations.

WASTE IN MINING
MAY Be AVOIDED
Lead and Zinc Field OrganiZa-
tiOns Plan Promotion of
Better Methods

Miami, Aug. 2S.-organization, CO.
operation and coordination, are new
slogans adopted in the mining district
The Oklahoma Mining Exchange, the
Oklahoma Ore Storage association
and the commercial and banking or
ganizations are working in perfect
harmony, u condition long sought but
only recently achieved. All bankers
merchants, ore producers, and pro-
fessional men have become identified
with these organized bodies, and all
stand shoulder to shoulder in any
movement that tends 10 better cOndi-
tiOns.
Cooperative Business
Numerous mining companies have
agreed to become identified with
plan recently proposed by the Mining
Exchange whereby more economical
mining methods may be adopted. The
watchword is economy and efficiency.
1t has at last dawned upon mining
men that u wasteful policy has been
the rule, and the more progressive
producers are willing to adopt any
system that promises relief.
"Many mining companies are fla
grantly wasting thousands Of dollars
every month";" says James McNich-
olas, mining engineer from Spokane,
Wash, "and if the slipped system OF
handling ores continues it will mean
the loss of many millions Of dollars
to the mine owners and lease holders.
"Western mines have long since
adopted the most modern system OF
ore recovery, which means an enor-
nous saving in values. 1t is not an
unusual thing here to find mills re-
covering per cent and losing 5,which
should be changed. BY proper screen
ing, grinding and handling, the loss
should not exceed l per cent, and In
many cases less than one-half OF l
per cent.
The Oklahoma-Kansas ore bodies
are exceedingly rich and OF grea ex-
tent, but this is no reason why values
should be thrown away through i'm
proper methods. 1t was not SO bad
when production cost was much lower
than it is now, but bad enough at any
time. There is no good reason why
lead and zinc ores should not be
mined and milled on more econom-
ical basis in this field. By reason
of its rapid development, largely by
inexperienced men, is one cause OF
this awful waste, but movement has
been inaugurated whereby, much OF
this waste can be turned into profit.
Warehouses Will Help
"The system of bonded warehouses
for storing ores will, in my opinion,
prove a boon to the mining industry
in Oklahoma. 1t has proved a blessing
to cotton growers, and to producers
of other commodities, and should be a
great benefit to the producers Of ores
in the OK. district. The warehouse
association should see that producers
get a square deal from large buyers
of lead and zinc. A new and better
system of handling ores after they are
mined and milled can be worked out
by the warehouse association. Smelt-
ers would no doubt welcome the new
order of things. / understand that
heretofore little attention has been
given to the classification and hand
ling of ores from the mills to the
smelters. We are living in an age OF
progress, and the war has made it
necessary to save and conserve in
every possible way"
