GOOD STRIKES MADE IN
THOUSAND ACRE LEASE

One thousand acres surrounding the
Ontario Shelters is being developed
by the st. Louis Smelling and Rein
ing Company. The company has kept
up constant drilling during the past
eighteen months, part of the time
working twenty-three drill rigs. At
present seven drill rigs are busily en-
gagged prospecting and proving up for
what will be in the near future sites
of large concentrating plants, no
doubt similar to the two which the
company are now operating south Of
st. Louis.
Four shafts are now being sunk in
to ore dirt. One on the Marten Wise
land, one on the Frank Imbeau land,
one on the Bud Imbeau land and the
other to start right away on the
Bertha Quapaw land.
The company has been making con-
stantly rich lead and jack strikes over
their vast amount Of mineral acreage
which will mean a great future to the
Baxter Springs district.

TRIANGLE COMPANY WILL
START NEW MILL SOON

The Triangle Mining Company is
finishing up one of the latest concen-
trating plants in the Commerce dis
trict. A machinery test was made q
few days ago and found to be in per-
feet unit. The mill is rated at 300
tons per shift, driven by Fairbanks
Morse oil engines and electricity.
The company expects to place the
mill in active operation about Sept
rs. Milling from one shaft, which
shows up zinc ore and lead at the
depth of 125 and out at $50, again in
at 230 and out at 262 feet.
The outlook of the Triangle mine is
very promising for the specimens Of
zinc ore and lead which is being taken
from the shaft show up an exception
ally good recovery. Drifting has be-
gun in the first shaft and as soon as
further developed the second shaft
will be sunk to the east Of the mill.
Officers of the Company are, John D.
Bonford, secretary; Frederick W.
Aherns, president; T. G. Dunlap,
treasurer, and L. C. Moore, director.

WILL MOVE GREYHOUND
MILL TO JEFFERSON MINE

Reliable information has just beer
given out regarding the Grey Hound
mill, belonging to the st. Louis Lead
and Zinc company, located just west
of Quapaw, near the Mineral Belt
railroad.
The new mill, which has just recent
ly been completed, will be dismantled
and moved to the Jefferson mine, one
mile east of Picher and there erected
The stockholders of the st. Louis COM
pany make up a part Of the Jeffer-
son mining company, and after a con-
ference decided to remove the mill to
the jefferson lease, which has been
thoroughly proven out by drilling and
having two shafts into ore dirt, with
ground conditions very favorable.
The removal of the mill from the
Quapaw district was brought about by
the big water fight in that field, which
has been carried on by the st. Louis
people and other companies in thai
district, with no success. Only three
companies in the district would CO.
operate in pumping and last Saturday
when those three decided to suspend
pumping all the mines in the Quapaw
district were flooded.

TWO GOOD ORE STRIKES
CLOSE TO BAXTER

Len HOdgkins reports an excellent
jack strike on his farm q couple Of
miles north of town, the SWk Sec
26, Twp. 26. At the depth of 90 feet
the drill went in ore which showed q
fifteen foot. face Of jack that assayed
rs per cent pure Beyond this with
an interval of about 12 feet another
fifteen foot face was penetrated. The
latter assayed o per cent. The first
was steel jack and the latter resin
color. Another drill hole on the same
property showed about the same face
of ore at about the same depth but 1t
did not assay as good.
The HOdgkin strike lies on a, line
between the run or ore encountered
on the Eli Kane land to the southwest
and the strike on the Clarence Owens
place TO the northeast, which adds
grounds for the already strong con-
viction that q rich vein Of ore runs
continuously from St. Louis, through

DEVELOPING LEASE
NEAR BAXTER SPRINGS

The Federal Lead and Zinc Com
pany have q shaft down to go feet
and are continuing the sinking Of
same which will be driven 200 feet,
as according to the mill records an
exceptionally good quality and high
face Is shot into at that depth. A sec
ond shaft will be driven down as soon
as shaft number one is complete, and
it is the intentions Of the company to
erect concentrating plant similar to
the one which they recently put into
operation northeast Of Douthat. The
new prospect is on the W. A. Douthat
land, recently purchased by /. M.
Bingham, at the state line, three miles
south of Baxter Springs. Stanton &
Frederick, of Quapaw, have the con-
tract for the sinking Of the shafts.

tion, after q shut down Of almost a

USED CLOTHING CAMPAIGN
The Red Cross Is Asked to Contrib
ute Secondhand Clothing to
the Belgians.

Following is a cablegnm from Her
bert Hoover:
Henry P. Dawson, Chairman
Red Cross War Council,
Washington, D. c.
The ten million imprisoned people
in occupied Belgium and France are
facing shame, suffering, disease and
some of them death, for lack of cloth
ing this winter. They must be helped
l hope that the Red Cross will under
take q renewed campaign to obtain
this clothing in America. It can come
only from US. Your first campaign
yielded magnificent results, bringing
in fully 5000 tons of clothing in good
condition. But much more is needed
if those war-ravaged people are to
get through the winter in decency
and safety. In the face of brutal CO.
ercion and spiritual suffering they re-
main splendidly courageous. This
courage challenges our charity. Lei
US match the courage of Belgium by
the generosity of America.
HERBERT HOOVER.
Observe these instructions: All
kinds Of garments for men, women,
boys, girls and babies are needed. AL
so piece goods, blankets, sheets, pill
low-cases and bed ticks. Scrap leath-
er for mending. The clothing need
not be in perfect repair, but should be
such as can be made over into other
or smaller garments.
The material should be strong and
durable. Do not send stiff hats, rub
ber goods, nor flimsy or gaudy cloth
ing. Do not inclose notes or writing.
