The amount of ore turned in
last week was not large, but it
will be noticed that one of the
old producer is in the market
again. We refer to the .IF,
which has resumed operations,
and is again producing ore in
marketable ouantities. This
mine has been shut down to al
low some repairs and improve
ments to be made to the mill. In
the mine new bodies of ore have
been opened up, and richer dirt is
being encountered.
The ore sales last week were
not large, for the reason that the
producers did not believe the ore
buyers were toting fair in the of
fers they made.
The mills are nearly all run
ning, however, and the output is
very satisfactory. The McAlis
ter and the Spring River, two
new producers, are making lots
of ore.
The transportation problem is
a matter that bothers a great
deal, but inasmuch as the elec
tric line, which will handle not
(nly passengers, but freight, is
practically assured, that difficulty

The Exchange.
The Baxter Mining Exchange
held its regular meeting Tues
day night, and the attendance
was very satisfactory. After a
few bills were allowed, the talk
was for the "good of the order,"
and on motion an invitation was
extended to -Mr. H. B. March
bank, the "boy orator" of Joplin,
to visit with and address the Ex
change next Tuesday night. We
don't know what Mr. Marchbank
will talk about, but we do know
that he is an interesting talker
and a very funny sort of fellow.
The members of the Exchange
who miss his talk are going to
iniss a rare treat. President
Watson was instructed to make
.irrangements for the entertain
ment of the speaker, and also for
;i luncheon after the meeting.

jGreat activity continues at the
camp and all newcomers are sur
prised at the remarkable progress
teine made. Every concern
r.eemi determined to forge to the
front and great quantities of ore
of an exceedingly high quality
laid bare in the, more fully de
veloped properties is a revelation
to men from other fields. There
is no end to the resources of this
district and large bodies of pure
Galena ore are continually being
located.
The Baxter Royalty Company
and the citizens of Quapaw have
had a hole drilled at Quapaw,
both for the purpose of hunting
ore and for water purposes. Last
Saturday the drill went into ore
at 138 feet and continued in ore
to 156 feet. The cuttings are
very rich, averaging all the way
through 13 per cent jack. The
strike is very important for the
reason that it- proves the exist

The Indiana mill is ready for
the machinery, which has been

ever, but is busy filling the hop

this mine is of the most flatter

The Spring River Mining Com
pany made its first turn-in of ore
this week, 70,000 pounds of zinc
which assa3ed at 61.04 per cent.
It is the amount of production
that makes a camp show well in
