heir quota as good as made and are
IS. waiting for Friday night to come

-irr the speaker got through explain

At Neutral the speaker, Charles

RAJ who would not invest to the ut

A SEVERED FINGER

C. E. Bennett, of the corner Of
Twenty-frst street and East avenue,
Baxter Springs, who is the mill fore
man at the Inspiration mine, suffered
painful accident Wednesday after
noon about two o'clock, while helping
land a pump he got his hand caught
and the little finger of the left hand
severed.

of their mine q mile east Of Picher
the last of the week. A good run pt
ore was discovered and water broke IN
at the same time, which was as wei
come as the ore, as the big MI tFs
been down for several weeks On ac-
count of the pond having been drained
by an old drill hole that had been ov-
erlooked. A pipe line had been laid
from the Mahutska mine a few hun
dred feet away but it is thought that
the water from the shaft will be SUI
ficient for milling purposes. The Kelt-
ner mill only operated 112 hours be-
fore it was shut down on account OF
lack of water but in that time 81 tons
of lead and PIP tons of jack were re-
covered. A four inch pump is being
installed in the field shaft.
The Miami Volunteer Mining COM
pany has brought in a lead strike
on the Thomas land northeast OF
Hockerville that is one Of the most
remarkable in the history of the field.
The new find is only a few rods north
of the Queen Esther mine which has
been opened lately and comes in shall
lower than that wonderful diggings.
The shaft went into almost pure
lead at a depth of SS feet and from
that depth to 45 feet, where the
workmen row are, tons Of lead have
been shoveled out. The drill showed
three distinct runs of ore ut the mill
site of the Miami Volunteer, one at
80 feet and with so feet face, one
at 125 feet with a 30 foot face, one at
l60 feet with q 20 foot face.
Let no one think because q num-
Der of the mills of the field are shut
lown, that there is nothing being
done. The greatest part of the work
hat is being done at the present is
lnder ground, blocking out the ore
hat is to be sold as soon as the
orices take a hike on account Of the
:urtailment in production. There has
been no slowing up in the, matter oil
shaft sinking or in development work
in the ground, neither has there been
any time lost in getting the mills in
shape so when the drive comes that is
sure to arrive when the prices ad-
vance a little more, there will be the
greatest activity ever seen in this sec
lion of the country.
The Black Eagle Mining Company
began operating its mill directly
across the road south Of the Under
writer's No. 2 and across from the
st. Louis Smelling and Refining
COmpany's property west, the first OF
last week and will begin running reg
ularly the first of this week. The
Black Eagle mill is Of $50 tons cap
actiy, but is so arranged that Il may
be increased to $50 tons with very lit
tie time or trouble. All Of the out
put has been high grade from the first

McCRORY GOES OVER
 THE TOP AGAIN.

Our people were delighted this week with two excellent addresses by two of Arkan- sas most distinguished officials who spoke in the interest of the War Work Campaign.
 Monday we were given the pleasure of having Hon. T. H. Caraway, our congressman, with us and hearing him tell the things he witnessed while at the battle fronts in Eu- rope not long ago. He spoke in the large auditorium of the new Methodist church which was filled to it's capacity and many could not find even standing room inside the building. His address was interesting from start to finish and the crowd was in- terested to the last in what he had to say about the boys lover there."
 Captain w. w. Wilcox of Walden, N Y., and Lieut.. l.. A. Spooner of Sedalia, Mo-, now stationed at Camp Pike doing Y. M. c. A. work were present and entertained us with an interesting program. The former gentleman spoke concerning the work of the seven war work organizations and the latter gave a few vocal selections of songs our soldiers sing. The entire program was a rare treat and highly enjoyed by everyone. $2,000.00 was subscribed to the campaign fund.
 On Thursday our people were again delighted by having as our guest our high ly esteemed governor, Dr. Chas. H. Brough. The audi torium was again completely filled with persons eager to hear the distinguished orator and statesman upon this his second visit to our city. He spoke for more than an hour and was heartily applauded throughout his entire ad- dress. The balance of our quota for the white citizen ship was easily and readily subscribed. The balance of our quota which has been assigned to the colored peo- pie will be raised at their

ALL ARMY DRAFT
 CALLS CANCELLED
Is One of War Departments First Acts After Armis-
 itce Is Signed.

War Department today, after announcement of the signing of the armistice with Ger many was. the cancellation of the army draft calls under which more than 300.000 men had been ordered to entrain for camps before November 30.
 Urgent telegrams prepared three days ago at the direc- ton of Provost Marshal Gen. eral Crowder, were sent to all draft boards directing that the movement of 252,000 men under orders to entrain between today and Friday be stopped immediately. The telegrams reached most of the boards in time, but a few men are known to have start ed for camp. Secretary Ba- ker said, however, that wherever possible their inn mediate return to civil life would be arranged.
 q have suspended further calls under the draft and in- ductions," MT. Baker said. There will be for the pres ent no additional m T brought in under the draft and to the extent that we can we will turn back those men who have been entrain- ed and have not yet reached training camps"
 All men assembled for en- training are to be considered as honorably discharged from the army and paid according ly. Until further notice, no inductions or calls except for the Navy and Marine Corps, will be permitted.
 2,7OO,OOO Men in Army
 Since August, 1917, when the first calls were issued un- der the army draft law, 2, 700, 900 men have been in ducted into the army. Prac- ically all physically qualified men between the ages of 21 and 31 who were placed in Glass l are now in the ser vice.
 General Crowder an nounced tn e registrants whose induction orders are cancelled or who are dis charged after their entrain- ment for camp will revert to the status existing in the tune the original induction order was issued. this to in- clude resumption of their or der and serial number.
 1t also was specifically an- nounced that nothing in the cancellation of the calls shall operate to relieve from the consequences of his acts, as reeglstrant who has hereto lore become delinquent or deserter.
