The Good Luck made its cus
tomary forty tons of ore last
week. It is a very strange thing:
when the little mill docs not turn
out forty tons of clean zinc con
centrates in a week.
John Merritt has the water out
of the Old Abe and will begin
work in the ground just as soon
as the machinery in the engine
room and mill can be overhauled.
Bert Sweeney and his partners
have made a very rich lead strike
near the Catholic church. They
are working only about 25 feet
below the surface, but they are
making lots of lead ore.
The Virginia mill is smoked
up. rne pumps are running
and as soon as the ground can be
pumped out the property will be
put into the producing list.
The Lancaster made a very
rich strike last week, we under
stand. In the north ground the
miners went into big zinc ore,
almost free. It is said the find
looks like the dirt taken out at
the Good Luck.
The Eastman mill never shuts
down, running seven days in the
week, nights and days. The
mine is producing lots of clean
zinc ore of a high grade.
The Big Jack mill at Lincoln-
ville is ready for operation, and
will soon take its place among
the producers. The mill has
been run a few hours, and every
thing worked nicely.
The Lucille mill is nearing
completion, and will be when
completed, one of the best and
biggest mills in the camp.
The price of zinc ore; while
not entirely satisfactory, is much
better than it was ten years ago,
but the trouble is, everything
used in the production of zic ore
is so much higher that there
does not seem to be very much
profit in a zinc mine at this time,
unless the dirt is phenomenally
rich.
If a good stiff tariff is put on
zinc ore, the Baxter Springs min
ing camp will be the liveliest
place in the whole country. Every
mill would be put into commis-
sion, and the output would make
the old timers sit up and take no-
tice.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown of
Galena visited in this city last
week.
Mrs. W. E. Price of Joplin vis
ited her father, J. M. Cooper, in
his city last Friday.
Mrs. Ira C. Perkins, Mrs. Bur
gess and Miss Carrie Perkins vis
ited in this city the latter part of
ast week.
Will Braman was among the
pushers from Neutral who at
tended the railroad meeting in
this city last Saturday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Charley Gregory
and the formers mother of Cairo,
11., visited Mr. and Mrs. W. T.
Gregory of this city last week.
The warm weather this week
put a lot of farmers to work with
their corn planters. It looks as
if this might be the year of all
years for a bumper crop of every
thing. E. W. Dow, who has been at
his home in Salina for the past
three months, and a part of that
time very sick, has returned to
Baxter Springs. He came in last
Saturday morning.'
Mac Gill, carrier on route 1,
says several planters -were at
work last Saturday. The far
mer it making the most of the
good weather and what appears
to be an early spring. -

The City Campaign,
Baxter Springs is indeed for
tunate that it has two such can
didates for mayor ai Dr. C. M.
Jones and Geo. E. Rucker. Dr.
Jones is just closing his admin
istration, and it has been a very
successful one all the way
through. More improvement
has been made in the city the
past two years than ever before
in the entire history of the town,
and in addition to this a large
slice of the city's debt has been
paid off. If he is re-elected may
or it will be his purpose to con
tinue the improvement campaign
and pay off more of the debt
Mr. Rucker, his opponent, is a
a 1
line man, ana a nusuer. -ne
campaign will no doubt be rather
warm, but the friends, of each
candidate will see to it that the
campaign is conducted along de
cent lines, and when the cam
paign is over there will not be a
ot of sore spots which it will
ake years to heal.
For Rent Free.
J. C. Naylor will give rent
free the use of 55 acres of his
farm to the man or men who
will put it in cow peas, cotton or
tobacco. One man need not put
in the whole 55 acres, but a part
of the agreement must be that it
will all be put into those three
uses One man could put in cow
peas, another tobacco, and an
other cotton.
Here is an opportunity to do a
little experimental work, and it
should be taken hold of.
Warning,
Somebody is skinning trees in
Reunion Park. If the guilty
party is apprehended prosecution
will follow. We trust it will
not be necessary for such action
to be taken.
That equinoxial storm was a
bad thing for Booster day, but,
it was a might- good thing for
the farmer, as the soil was need
ing rain. Oats will come up in
a hurry, now, and wheat was
greatly benefited. From an ag
ricultural standpoint, the . conn
try is in very good condition at
present A large' amount of
plowing was done daring .the
winter, and. the ground r is in
good shape. - If nothing happens
to prevent, the planting ot corn
will be. do TWJ CUlJa
