The Eastman is undergoing
Rome needed repairs preparatory
to running again.
There is much aggressive work
going on in the camp, and more
is in contemplation.
The Sweeney's have the McAl
lister mill ready to start, having
had it overhauled and improved
by Foust Bros.
The Sunburst is still sinking
on its ore at 80 feet, and will sink
till the bottom in found before
drifting on it.
The Kramer-Mo'se on the Bax
ter Royalty ground is in some
excellent lead, in its air drift,
and looks favorable for an im
mense body of ore.
Some fine samples of rich ore
were brought to this office from
the Sunburst today. This mine
is showing up better with each
days work. The drifts run are in
fine ore.
H. A. Stockmar, drilling on
Baxter Royalty property north of
the Myrtle (Monon) and Quivira
is getting some good shines, and
of course will get good ore as it
surrounds his land.
T. J. Foley of the Mission
went home to North Platte, Neb.,
to spend the Fourth with his fam
ily. The mine will continue to
run under the supervision of the
ground man, Tom Ricks.
All holidays seem to interfere
with the routine of regular work,
and the celebration of July 4 has
proven no exception; besides, it
took the rest of the week to re
cover from the real jollification.
The Joanna is making about 6
tons of ore per day, and every
thing points to the fact that, this
"mine is to be one of the big mines
: of this camp, as the lead and sil
icate gets richer and letter as the
stope is taken up.
Ollis Bros., of Springfield, Mo.,
are getting some good stuff in the
shaft they are sinking on the land
that corners with the Mission on
the southwest. These gentlemen
have 60-acres south of the forty
west of the Mission, on which
they put down several-drill holes
getting as much as 23 feet of ore
in some of them.
There is a new find of rich lead
that seems to be running from
north to south beginning in the
Sunburst, Good Luck's second
shaft, the Three Queens, Lancas
ter, Newlands, and on to the Jo
. anna, and opened by several drill
holes in between these properties,
but of one thing' sure, it is only
another varification that mining
in this camp means wealth to the
persistant miner.
The big drop in the price of
lead came as a surprise to the
"producer, as the price of pig lead

still is maintained, hence the ten
dency in the camp it to hold the
ore in the bins, hoping for an
early rise in the price, though it
may not come for several weeks.
The new mill at the Mason,
one of the most complete in the
camp, is being started at this
writing.
The McCallister mill is being
started this week, and it is be
lieved it will pay from the start,
as the dirt is very rich.
The Joanna, named for the two
daughters of R. W. Bailey, Miss
Josephine and Miss Anna, is turn
ing in some fine lead and silicate.
This and the Kramer-Morse, both
on Baxter Royalty ground, are
showing up immense bodies of
rich ore.
The Mission is now running on
its new mill twenty-two hours,
and turning out from five to seven
thousand pounds per shift. This
company has about 30,000 pounds
of lead in its bins which it is
holding for the present and will
hold until the. price becomes
fixed.
E. G. Lawley formerly connect
ed with the Myrtle, has sold his
intersts to his cousins, J. W. and
G. W. Cooke, and will devote his
time hereafter to the development
of the Alabama, now sinking a
shaft on the Catholic forty. Mr.
Lawley leaves today for Mexico,
but will soon return to stay in the
camp.
The Casso Zinc Co., is pushing
its drifts on a fine body of ore,
and the Virginia Zinc Co., under
the supervision of B. E. Gridley
is showing up some fine ore. This
shaft is one of the best pieces of
work in the camp. Though these
two properties are farthest to the
west of any in the field, they do
not represent the most distant
western development as ore has
been found in Quapaw, and at
Miami, nearly five miles farther
west.

The Cherokee Lead and Zinc
Mining company has sold a half
interest in its mine and forty-ton
mill to E. F. Sweeney, who owns
the first lease on this property.
This property is one of the best
diggings in the camp, Scott &
West who have just sold their
interest being the original own
ers, took out $3,000 worth of sil
licate and lead, within nine feet
of the surface, and later put down
the shaft now on the ground, and
took out lead, and just as they
stopped for want of money to go
on they had struck a body of jack.

THE DIG REUNION.
Work of Preparation Now
Going On The Meeting
This Year Will be a RoO-
ord Breaker.
Do you realize that this year
reunion will be the twenty-sixth?
Well, it will, and it will break
all previous records in every way.
The work of preparation for this
year's doings is already well un
der way. The grounds are being
put in first class condition. The
water system has been improved
and this week a system of sani
tary closets is being built. Tb'e
closets will be connected with
sewer, which will carry off all ob
Wtinnal matter. This work is
i
Groin? to cost considerable money
but the countless thousands who
come to the Big Baxter Rennions
are entitled to all the comfort!
possible.
The amusements this year wil
be of a character calculated to
please, entertain and instruct
The orators, who will address the
big meetings in the auditorium
will be the very best that can be
secured.
More people than ever wil
camp during the week of reunion
and they will have a big time.
In fact, the way to really enjoy
the reunion is to camp out. Then
when tired out running around
viewing the sights and attending
the various exercises, you have 1
place to go for a rest. Then
aerain. this thing of sleeping out
in a tent is the finest thing in the
world. It is not only very health
ful, but it is really refreshing.
The big pictorial paper, which
will go up on the billboards all
over the country, has been order
ed from Hartford, Conn., and
will be here in a few days. The
railroads will make unusually low
rates, and the Big Reunion of
1907 will go down in history as
the biggest and best ever held.
Come and bring the children.
Stay all week.
A GOOD PROPERTY.
We understand the M. K. & T.
mine netted its owners something
more than two thousand dollars
during the month of June. Con
sidering the fact that a great
HmI of new machinery was
bought and paid for during the
ntonth, we claim the record is a
crood one for a new camp.
The dirt taken from the M. K.
& T. mine is not of a pockety na
ture, but on the contrary is of a
hard disseminated nature. It has
no rich pockets, and is of sheet
formation, running from four to
seven per cent ore. Mr. Don Mc
Ruer. the superintendent is in di
rect charge of the property, and
keeps a close tab on everything.
Management is needed in the con
duct of a mine the same as in any
other line of business. Jim
Young, one of the very best jig
men in the country, runs the jigs.
The old Settlers' reunion at
Columbus will be held at the usu
al time,' the first week in August.
After that comes the real big af
fair, the Big Baxter Reunion,
August 26 to 31.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Council met Tuesday night in
regular session, all members pres
ent except Chew.
Minutes of previous meeting
were read and approved.
More time was granted the
committee on claims and accounts
to report on a referred claim.
The proposition of J. B. Opper
man relating to the old fire de
partment headquarters was on
motion accepted.
The board of health was asked
to make a report to the council on
the matter of rank growths of
vegetation. (This means that if
the board should condemn the
weeds the property owner must
cut them, or the city will do it
for him and tax the cost against
the property. This is in accord
ance with the state law.)
The street commissioner was
instructed to repair the Military
and Broadway bridges.
The street commissioner was
instructed to re-grade Sheridan
street west from Military; also
the gravel road to the depot, and
North street.
Committee.on city property was
instructed to have leak in library
building stopped.
City treasurer's report for quar
ter ending July 1st was read and
approved. (This report will be
published next week.) The re
port shows cash in the various
funds to the amount of $13,401.57.
Bills were allowed as follows:
W. H. Doty, lumber, $20. So.
E. M. Michener, hardware,
$6.0(i.
M. G. Justice, groceries for
poor, order of the mayor,$14.0S.
The marshal was instructed to
enforce the ordinance regulating
the speed of automobiles in the
city.
The city attorney was instruct
ed to prepare a general sidewalk
ordinance, to be presented to the
council at its next regular meet
ing. (The council has determined
to cause the building of lots of
good sidewalks, and the first
ones will probably be on South
Military street, East and West
Sheridan street, East and West
Sherman street, and a lot more.
Mrs. Samuel Binns entertained
the Carnation Club Tuesday aft
ernoon. The prize was captured
by Mrs. Morrow.
Ed. Fribley, youngest son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fribley, arrived
in this city last week to visit his
parents. Ed. has been away for
about eight years. He is connect
ed with a big amusement concern,
and we guess he is making
good." At any rate he looks
prosperous.
On a block of ground in the
south part of town, S. J. Arm
strong of this city has already
sold more than one hundred dol
lars worth of vegetables and
fruits. He will sell more than
that much more before the first of
August. Besides, he will raise
all the corn necessary to feed his
stocb through the winter. . But it
takes work. The work is light,
however.
The survey, which is being
made in this city, is causing some
folks a great deal of worry, but
it should not. No changes from
the original survey are being
made. The present survey is
merely a re-location of the orig
inal lines of the original plat and
the various additions, as they
were recorded in the first place.
It is impossible to order any im
provements made without first
knowing exactly where the lines
are. and besides, the doubt as .to
just where the correct lines are
has kept a great many people
from making improvements.
They have not felt like making
improvements for the very reason
hat they have "been afraid they
would go wrong and have to do
the work over again. There is
no cause for uneasiness. No piece
of property will be cut down in
area, but the lines will merely be
re-located. When the street cor
ners are established,- and the
width of the street is known it
