LOCAL PICKUPS
W.. E. Earl left for the mountains
last Monday for a stay of 10 days.
The Judge is mining in earnest and
is confident he has pay values.
J. L. Power, of Joplin. Mo., P.
Monroe and A. J. Burton, both of
this city, together with "ye scribe,"
visited the mountains last Wednes-
day.
Vernon Records was in from Mt.
Scott last Tuesday, returning home
Wednesday. He and his brother
are working continuously and are
very jubilant over the future of
their property.
H. A. Hinton, of Meers, was in
the city last Monday securing sup-
plies for his store. Mr. Hinton
carries in stock all the necessaries
usually kept in a grocery store, and
enjoys a good patronage from the
miners.
Last week noted the arrival of
the iron work for the Pearson and
Black Bear smelters, there being
15,000 pounds in weight for both
plants. It looks substantial and
ought to give them if properly con-
structed. plants that will te highly
successful.
E. Stubblefield returned last
Tuesday from a weeks trip through
the mountains. He exhibited some
specimens of ore taken from his
property thatlookfine. He reports
activity in the mountains that looks
good to him, and bids fair to show
astonishing results.
0. 0. Milliken came in from Illi-
nois the latter part of last week
where he has been in the interest
of the Wichitas. He tells us that
the people in the localities he vis-
ited are very favorably impressed
with our mineral prospects, and
this summer will see several of
them on the ground for the purpose
cf making a personal investigation.
The annual commencement of
the Lawton Business College will
will be held Friday evening at the
opera house. This is an institution
of which Lawton may justly feel
proud, and many cities ten times
the size of Lawton have not a busi-
ness college that can compare with
it for competent instruction, and
its standing advertisement is qual-
ified graduates.
S. S. Remer was in the city this
week. He is now down 105 feet
in the shaft near the smelter, and
the material is not only improving
in appearance as depth is attained,
but the assay furnace tells that it
is also increasing in values as well.
Mr. Remer hopes to soon be able
to rebuild his smelter and proceed
with the extraction of the values
on a commercial basis.
Oliver Powers, who is a prac-
tical mining man. being a graduate
of the Colorado School of mines,
and now farming an Indian allott-
ment on Blue Beaver, was in the
city the first of the week. He has
never investigated the mineral re-
sources of the Wichitas. but is very
much ple£S3d with the specimens
shown him, and expects to soon
take up a quite thorough examina-
tion of our district. He is exper-
ienced in the cyanide process and
is of the opinion that quite a per
cent of our formation will prove to
be susceptible to this mode of treat-
ment.
Work at the Texahoma camp is
progressing very nicely, and now
that the rain has stopped for a few
days, the same begins to show. It
seems that the most valuable por-
tion of the vein dipped away from
them at about 40 feet, and the
shaft is sunk to the 60-foot mark,
a platform is being placed in the
shaft at the point where this desir-
able portion of the vein left them,
and it will be followed on its angle.
Assays taken taken from this pay
strip have shown it to be quite rich,
and if the values continue and a
large body of it encountered, the
property will be worth several for
tunes.
MEERS ITEMS.
Meers, Okla., June 20.—Two
good rains, two ice cream entertain-
ments. and a big dust storm are
some of the things enjoyed by the
inhabitants of this camp the past
week, the only trouble was that the
dust and ice cream came at the
same time, followed soon after by
a heavy rain.
A very interesting Childrens day
service was held at the church tent
last Sunday.
S. A. Joyner and daughter. Mr.
Gauble and family, Mrs. Bingham
and daughter, and Miss May Dela-
harty.of Lawton, were outing in the
mountains the past week.
W. D. Stockton, who has been
visiting in camp the week, left
yesterday for Chickasha. I. T., where
he has a position.
Herbert Hodge was over from
Texahoma Saturday night and Sun-
day.
Carl Rosson, Eugene and Clar-
ence Mosher, and Cliff Boyer have
all gone to Kansas to see the sights
in the harvest fields.
C. Harris and Henry Thurman
have gone on a prospecting tour.
No doubt they will bring home some
rare specimens of Wichita Moun-
tians wealth.
Jno. Kenneday and Z. R. Warren,
of Apache, passed through camp
yesterday enrouteto Mr. Pearson's
camp, hunting Mr. Gullett. They
expectcd to have some fine assay-
ingdone. They had some fine look-
ing specimes and should the values
justify they will endeavor to put in
a small plant.
Shep Kirk is at home again after
a weeks stay in Lawton.
