Operations are soon to begin at che
ChOctaw, Chief mill at Hockerville,
which has been closed down for some
weeks. The shutdown was caused
by the influenza epidemic, several
members Of the company having died
Of the malady.
The Chowtaw Chief Is one Of the
examples Of what management win
do for q mining property. George
Sullivan showed . profit Of $500 q
week net for several weeks before he
separated his relations with them but
when the management was taken over
by an experienced person It was nee.
essary to close down.
It is reported that the ChOctaw
Chief will employ a good miner 70

Baxter Springs should begin at this
time to formulate some plan for q
crack baseball team next summer.
This industrial district is made up Ot
good ball fans and it will be a shame
to allow the opportunity to 60 "a
waste. When PHI 'Metzler attempted
to put Baxter Springs in ball league
last summer he was confronted with
the fact that some 300 boys Of this
town were in the army and navy
among which was practically all Of
our local talent in the way Of base
ball. Ere the ball season opens this
difficulty will have been done away
with by the return of the boys. Bax-
ter Springs has a splendid bunch Of
fans and can draw from many Of the
tributary towns about and some Of the
larger ones with a good ball team and
a capable manager. Who viii volun-
teer to take the management and
push the thing through? We believe
it could be made a profitable under
taking and having interviewed many
people on the subject we believe any
body willing to undertake it can get
the best cooperation.
