Within a short time the Florida state fair and

of the kind produced in Florida and of the
greatest presented in the entire south. To
Jacksonville and Florida jointly goes the credit for
this wonderful event and that the state will reap

lence and magnitude.
The fair has been ambitious and has been a

lcHhNUTE SPELTER co.
START A new SHAFT
Win Speed Up Dewatering in Order to
Get Ready for Actual Mining at
An Early Date.

Two shafts, q quarter Of "A mile
krum the western edge Of the town
Site Of Baxter Springs were started
Thursday morning by the Chanute
Epeltsr Company, tie largest mine
operators in the Kansas-o Oklahoma
xinc and lead field.
Ths shafts will be sunk on the r.
+. Hartley land, the lease on which q
large miIl has already been built. One
'Shsft is iutszAcd primarily for a de-
Muhuring lAaft preparatory for the
iIuhing Se mill shaft. The other
b intsn 4Or tram shaft.
The Gsuahering shaft is to be To-
catsd about three hundred feet from
thn mill where the company found a
lime bar, there being two dry holes,
kstween which the shaft will be sunk
ind the water brought into the shaft
BY drifting.
A Texas pump with capacity OF
S,6Oo or more gallons q minute will be
placed in the shaft,
Two large Pomona pumps with a
tcmbined capacity of 1470 gallons q
nlnute are working night and day
now and have been for several months
in the effort to drain this mine OF
water. They are making headway
too, but not fast enough to suit the
eompA..y, hence the new shafts'
Work was begun on this property

TO enter the producing class,
The magnitude Of this proposition
my be guessed at better when IT Is
known that up 10 the present time the
company, under the management OF
". 4. Eardley, has spent upwards OF
100000 on this property and proD-
Ebly win expend as much more before
actual production is begun. However,
Baxter Springs news., 1919-01-10

the time of actual mining now is said
to be not very far away.
The mill on this property is Of TOO
tons capacity with provisions made
for increasing the output to 1000 tons
a day.
The land on which this mine has
been proven was first leased by r. F.
Hartley about four years ago. 1t was
one of the first if not the first land
leased for mining in the vicinity OF
Baxter Springs, or even on the Kan
sas side. The royalty is z per cent,
considerable lower than land has been
leased for since; but Mr.. Hartley was
q pioneer in the game and when he
leased it he was anxious to get some
prospecting down in this locality. Ul-
timately, however, he will make up in
the large output what he missed by
leasing on q law royalty, for the
property has already Deen proven to
be one Of the richest and largest de-
posits in the entire field; nothing in
Picher or Tar River being excepted.
The developments here have proven
beyond question that Baxter Springs
has a fine future in a mining way;
since the ore on the Hartley land is
known now to be but small part OF
a rich run of ore that branches out
from the rich run at Hockerville, two
miles southwest Of here, and runs
south and north of Baxter Springs,
coming almost, if not quite, into the
townsite on both sides.
The Carl Ebenstein property, about
q mile west Of Baxter, is another
proven rich mine site owned by the
Chanute Spelter Company, which has
about 5000 acres under lease In Kan
sas. Operations on the Ebenstein
property have also progressed to a
point about ready for actual mining
Here two other big 10 inch wells the
same as those on the Hartley place,
were sunk and two Pomona pumps
are busy draining the basin, prepar-
atory for sinking the shafts. The
water is lowering here gradually and
satisfactorily.

APPROPRIATION
Wants Legislature to Appropriate
$65,O0O for School of Mines
Addition to the State
Normal

A committee of the Kansas branch
of the United Mine workers of Am
erica went to Topeka the first Of the
week to make an essaprt to secure from
the coming legislature a $65,000 ap-
preparation for a miners building at
Pittsburg, in which it is proposed to
install a miners rescue station and
various educational features calcu-
lated to better equip the workers and
advance the industry generally.
The members of the committee are
Earl T. Draper, of Arma, a mining
community near Pittsburg, and Chas.
II. Harvey, of Croweburg, another
mining town in the Pittsburg district
Both men are practical coal miners
and were delegated by the members
of District No. IA to look after the
interests of the workers during the
session of the legislature.
Concerning the object of their mis-
sion Mr.. Draper is quoted as follows:
"The principal feature of our work
here" said Mr.. Drayer, twill be an
effort to get an appropriation thru
for the construction of miners build
ing in the center of the great coal
mining district at Pittsburg. 1t is the
intention to make it the headquarters
of mine rescue station the coal min"
ing examining board, and the mine in
spection department. Provision will
be made for classes and lecture
courses looking towards the education
of the foreign speaking element
among the miners in the rudiments Of
the English language and thoroly
Americanizing them; as well as teach
ing the technical side of mining in all
its branches generally.
at is intended that the work will be
carried on in conjunction with the
state normal training school Of Pitts
burg. Prof. ]. W. Brandenburg, pres
dent of the school, has estimated that
SEQ 900 will erect the building and in
stall laboratory and all necessary
equipment for the institution and pro-
vide for its maintenance for the first
year.
The interests of labor thruout the
state at large will be looked after dur
ing the session by committee from
he state federation of labor, consist
ing of w. E. Freeman, Of Pittsburg,
president; George Blakely, Of En-
poria, Fred FELTON,, Of Topeka, and
Ben Gish, of Mulberry. This COM
mittee is expected to hold a meeting
at the Throop hotel this morning
when proposed legislation favorable
to the working men viii be discussed
with the miners committee and other
Legislative agents representing indi-
vidual labor unions.

TRIO OF DRINKS
BREAK UP SCHOOL
Then Their Auto Stalls and Police
Have Time to Go Out and
Place the Men Under
Arrest

A trio Of drunks from Webb City
terrorized the teacher and pupils and
broke up the session at the Mt. Hope
school, between Baxter Springs and
Blue Mound, Tuesday afternoon, and
for the offense they were convicted in
Justice Jones' court Wednesday and
each fined $500 and costs, or be sent
to the county Jail. The names given
by the men in court were ]. F. Serum,
Ernest Doll and Elmer Freeman.
Freeman paid his fine but the other
two men are still languishing in the
city Jail awaiting either for some
friends to help them out Of their diff
ficulty or for the Deputy Sheriff 10
take them to Columbus to begin SER
wing their sentences.
The men behaved decidedly like
hoodlums at the school house, after
the manner of Huns and thought they
were going to get away with it; but
after they left the school house they
had not gone more than eighty rods
when their Q, +Omobile stalled. Mean
while the teacher had sent a couple Of
boys into Baxter to get the police
Marshal Horton and an assistant went
out and found the trio still stalled in
the road too drunk to start the car,
and he brought the whole outfit into
town.

BAXTER FIELD
Take Over Two Large Mining Prop
critics at HOckerville,
Oklahoma

BY the transfer of q majority of
stock in the Lucky o. X. mine, and
the full ownership of the Brewster
lease property, both at Hockerville,
about three miles southwest of Bax-
ter, Springs, the Federal Mining &
Spelling company, one of the biggest
lead and zinc operators in the United
States becomes closely and substan-
TALLY identified with the mining in
terests of the Baxter Springs field
About six months ago when a
change of management of these prop
critics took place; it was persistently
rumored that the Federal Mining and
Smelling were actually the new own
ers. This was not admitted however
by P. w. George, the new general
manager.
The Lucky o. X. mine was operated
in the name of Frederick Burbidge
and the Brewster Lease in the name
of F. H. Brownell. Both gentlemen
are high officials in the Federal COM
pany, Mr.. Burbidge being general
manager; but these mines actually
were not held in the name OF the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
until since the first of the year. The
paperSin the transfer have just been
recorded,
The Lucky o. X. Mine already has
new and modern 500 ton mill in op-
Grafton. A similar mill is being
erected on the Brewster lease, and
will be placed in operation at an early
date.
The keen interest shown in mining
circles over these transfers is due to
the fact that the Federal company is
known to be operators on a big and
permanent scale, company that does
10 validating but comes into a field
only after the quality and extensive
ness of the ore deposits have been
proven to be adequate for extensive
operations.
The coming of the Chanute Spelter
Company, the Federal Mining and
Smelling Company, and other large
operators to this field is positive as
surance of the future of the Baxter
district.
