beinir the "Golden HenM on the

Miami camp. - This mill is just
north of of the Miami-Yankee

December last, on the same com
pany's lands. Both the new

to keep the mills going contin

center of the field and have a big
deposit of pre developed on the
lease as well as on the surround
ing ground.
- iA continuous stream of lead
and zinc ores is being marketed
from! the. Quapaw reservation,
which is attracting the attention
of the oldest camps in the South
western district. The past week
the Quapaw district, which in
eludes- the .Baxter-Quapaw, Mi
ami and Peoria camps, turned in
i i.:t. t,.n..tt : iiq
of lead, which brought $6,339
while the Miami camp turned in
409,242 pounds, of sine ore and
425.580 pounds of lead ore, which
brought $17,431, making a total
for, the Quapaw district of $23,
770 for the week. This out the
Quapaw district third in the pro-
auction iisi, oui oi sixteen uis
tricts'1' reporting , for the week.
The only camps that top this are
Webb Citv-Carterville. with
total' of $56,923, and the Joplin
camp. :$38,388. It certainly is
demonstrating the faith that the
operators in this district have
had during the years of the de
velopm erpenod of these new
camos and 'is now proving that
their faith' was well placed, and
that with a revival of normal
conditions., the Quapaw district
will push the oldest camps for
first place in the production list.
